MINI-DIARY:
07/27/08 Chapter 12 of 'Mine' is up now!
07/18/08
So... there are some pretty rabid fanfiction fans out there... hahahhahahha... so, I'll try to answer a few of the most frequent questions I've gotten:
first... I want to finish 'Mine' before any of my other stories at the moment. It's not even halfway done... so it might be awhile. Sorry, but I just haven't been inspired to write "Catch You" or "Beyond Looking".
second... no, I can't update more frequently. Don't bother asking... although, I am incredibly flattered. I do have something of a life outside of writing... I know, shocking!
third... I do answer email enquiries, but I tend to forget to answer reviews. you can email me though at findabhiaraery at hotmail dot com. (pls change that to the proper email formatting. there's issues with this site).
fourth... I don't understand why everyone thinks that Draco's so nice and charming in 'Mine'... hahahhaha... that always makes me wonder. I don't think I would be too happy with him if I were Ginny, nevermind how sexy he is.
07/16/08 Chapter 11 of 'Mine' is up now!!
07/02/08 Chapter 10 of 'Mine' is up now!!
05/23/08 Chapter 9 of 'Mine' is up now!
05/08/08 Chapter 8 of 'Mine' is up now!
04/18/08 Chapter 7 of 'Mine' is up now!!
04/12/08
Chapter 6 of 'Mine' is up now. It took me so long to write this... I ended up rewriting most of the chapter, and taking out a dream that I felt didn't work. There are now PAGES AND PAGES of excerpts that I am not using for this story. CRAZY.
Anyway... RL. A friend of mine passed away last week, and it's been tough. We weren't that close, but these things always affect a person.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
(Updated 05/27/07)
I'm starting to get requests from reviewers about what I would recommend reading (especially DGB and DG), as there are SO MANY FICS on fanfiction.net... I've outlined them below, along with reasons why:
Unexpected by dracademented -- as far as I'm concerned, this is the bible for anyone who loves DxGxB HP fics. It's hot, and it also has one of the most intricate plotlines I have ever seen. Seriously, I am a history major in uni (yes, I know, 'what the hell are you going to do with that Fin?'), and even I had trouble picking out all of the references. It's not fluff, you're in for a thinker. Has a sequel, but I just didn't like it as much. COMPLETE
Visions by AirmidM -- another DxGxB, AirmidM has about 4 that she is writing, I think. I've said it before, major inspiration. Please check it out. Again, NOT fluff, but excellent writing, and an awesome story, along with the hotness that we need/want/love. IN PROGRESS.
--anything by Airmid is good. This one is just my personal favourite. CHECK OUT HER NEWEST STORY "ROUGE FEU".
Dragon Tears by JazzyGeorgie -- this is a straight DMGW, and it is written incredibly well. It follows Ginny through her 6th and 7th years, and it follows a realistic, and logical relationship between the two, along with Ginny growing up and so on. I don't like next generation stuff too much, but there is a sequel too. COMPLETE
Flight of the Thestrals by GD-7 -- again, it is a DMGW, but there is also a lot of Blaise/Ron/Pansy, and it is HOT. I love this fic, it's interesting, and somewhat irreverant, and LONG. LOVE IT. IN PROGRESS, but hasn't been updated in a long time.
The Charm by SlytherinsWench -- DMGW, and FUNNY in places. Very amusing... sex toy goes bonkers in potions, and yeah. Characterization is great, story is great, very creative. Look it up and read it, you won't be disappointed. COMPLETE.
The Dragon Rebels by Lee Velviet -- DMGW, and has some of the best characterizations I have ever seen. Draco is HOT in this, love it. All about Draco rebelling against his father. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in forever, but the chapters that are there are so good, that I still recommend it. IN PROGRESS.
Ginnugagap by Aimsaru -- DMGW, Ginny and Draco, after a somewhat rough history, are partnered together as Aurors. Awesome characters, great realism, and an interesting plot. This story pretty much has it all. Read it, enjoy. IN PROGRESS.
Issues of Blood by dazedkitten -- DMGW, starring Ginny as a cat-burglar. I don't want to give away too much. It's really well done, kind of a distopia in the future. At this point, Draco has only been alluded to, but I am enjoying it thoroughly. IN PROGRESS.
The Weasel and the Kneazle by Davesmom -- DMGW, from what I understand, this is a CLASSIC fanfic. Though not finished, it is so incredible. The plot is... well, I can see why people love it so much. Hopefully Davesmom finishes it at some point. READ IT! IN PROGRESS.
DGB Untitled by tkmoore -- DracoGinnyBlaise, smut at it's finest. If you've read any of my other recommended reads, you'll know I'm not much for one-shots, or short fics, but this is what every DGB author aspires to... well, at least I do. It's rated M for a reason, and it is incredibly hot. COMPLETE (ONE-SHOT)
STATUS:
Mine -- Chapter 12 UP NOW.
Catch You -- Chapter 8 UP NOW.
Beyond Looking -- Chapter 3 UP NOW.
Live -- on hiatus. I'm so upset about Veronica Mars being cancelled. I'm going to wait for the 3rd season to come out on DVD, and then I might start writing again... GOD! What they did to Weevil's character... ggrrrr... anyway, check back in a few months.
Fear Me -- on indefinite hiatus. I think I might re-write some of it, because the plot veered off where I wanted it to go.
(LJS stuff was written when I was in the middle of High School hell, and it is full of angst, and very self-indulgent writing because of that. I won't be continuing any of that stuff at any point in the near future, if ever, so don't ask about it.)
