Note 1: I took off the story “Probably wouldn’t be this way” because it only got four reviews and I wanted to make way for more stories and “Finding the forgotten” kind ‘a flopped. I donno what else to do with it but I’ll leave it for now. If you have some good ideas I’d love to hear them! That’s a story I’m really interested in finishing if I can!

Note 2: I DID NOT abandon the story Finding the Forgotten! It's just taking a really long time to cure my writers block -_-;

T_T) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Did I just spelt that wrong...? -_-#) and the Inkheart trilogy.(rox my sox off! though i'm still waiting for number three, write! damn you WRITE!) And of course, the famous saga thats got everyone talking... TWILIGHT!! lol.

Favorite movies: Labyrinth, Star Dust, Legend, Star Trek: First Contact, Harry Potter: 1, Titan A.E., The Dark Crystal, 10th Kingdom, Anastasia, Transformers, All the Inuyasha movies (1-4), etc... and Star Wars episode 3 : Return of the Jedi! (Dramatic music=P)

I have a sad little story to tell, and it goes like this... I don't have a beta reader! T_T so all my stories have a considerable amount of mistakes in them. I do what I can, but for some people... grumble ... grumble ...that's just not good enough! (and for all of you high maintenance people, I'm sorry!) anyways... (OH! and before I forget! everybody needs to look up a writer under the name "Lovechilde" and then you need to read her story "Duality" great I/M fic. One of the best I think, and then you review/e-mail her and tell her to get crack'n on that sequel before the rest of us go bonkers!)

Anyways, now that I've bored you all silly and wasted your time, on with the fiction reading, and as I always say...

READ, REVIEW, AND BE MERRY!
