Wow. Hasn't it been a while? In shameless author style, I promote my account at harrypotterfanfiction.com as well, under the assumed name, nightwing. I have some stories there that I have not put here for different reasons and, likewise, I have stories here that I have not put there. But at least those have pictures (banners).
Updates:
Congrats to those reading this! As of now, nothing for too-too forseeable future though some tentative sneak-peeks and hints.
ON OTHER TERMS:
This story is being tentatively worked on. Right now, it looks to be a one-shot, but I already know it will be very long (it IS the companion to A Cinderella Shoe) so it might have two chapters which will turn into five which will turn into a never-ending story. So, for now, be patient as I work diligently to getting the story shaped and put together.
TOJOURS PUR:
Oh my freakin' God (Pardon me, Oh Lord). This story has one more chapter to go. So write it already, dammit! I'm trying! There is a MAJOR block in that one. I'd like to finish it so brainstorms are welcome, and I will be pondering (a favorite pastime of mine) when I have the time.
PIXIE DUST:
Flamers rejoice. This story was put on hiatus, possibly indefinately. I tried explaining that Loraine was NOT the only female PROFESSIONAL Quidditch player, just a rare occurance. Yes, there was Gywnog and all the players at Hogwarts. Yes, Iceland is not a real team. Okay, but seriously? People, look up the meaning of fiction! You get to make it up! I've read thriller and comedy and romance, all with fictional political or important characters that suit their needs. A political movie about an assassination might have a president but do you think it will George W. Bush?
COLOR BY NUMBERS:
This story is the best. It's one of my favorite. Over the summer I think I sat down and about four chapters poured out of my fingers in the span of three days, all of them fairly well written so I have no regrets there. It is continuing to be dramatic and fun and I'd really appreciate some feedback!!!
A-Z: 26 FLAVORS OF A WOMAN:
My new passion is the a bit out-there-but-still-COMPLETELY-believable pairing: Gabrielle Delacour & Blaise Zabini. I proudly do credit myself for the forming of this pairing but I'm sure it might be out there. I mean, come on! Both Purebloods, money, looks, both Purebloods. Not completely unplausible. This has not yet been started on, but still, it will be coming soon to your favorite author's profile nearest you.
THE FOLLOWING STORIES ARE GONE!
PLAYING THE BET--- EXPLINATION FOR WHY IT WAS DISCONTINUED! It is being revised if you did not get to see the final little note in time. I felt really bad but it needed to be, not rewritten, but spruced up. Seriously spruced. I loved it and I loved the reviewers and I hope they will still be here when it gets back.

RATINGS ON MY OWN STORIES:
My Personal Favorite: A Cinderella Shoe (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2915768/1/) I'll tell you why. It's basically a short/long story. It annoys me to write five chapters when I could just put it all together. I think it's 20 pages in length but I've read chapters that long. What I like about it, is that it leaves a lot to be imagined. If you want Ginny to go back to Harry, she can, but personally I saw her going back to Draco. However I wanted you, the readers, to make your own fairy tale.
My Possibly Least Favorite: The Bachelor, I would have to say. It's way too AU for my liking but some people love that. It is one of the most popular stories.
FAVORITE EXCERPTS:From Color by Numbers:
“Look, Als,” I began calmly, trying to keep a levelheaded reign on my temper. “I’m sorry about the other day in Hogsmeade. I see how I might have messed it up for you and Sirius and I see why you might be mad at me but please also take into consideration the fact that you also were rude and I was having fun hanging out with my best friend and the object of her lust.”
Alec nodded sullenly before suddenly bursting out, “Chrys I’m sorry! I never meant to be such a prude and all I was, was jealous, so I’m sorry. Forgiven?”
I eyed Alec apprehensively. This had happened before and there was no way it was not going to happen again. Every time I had been offended, she had apologized and bought me my favorite cookies and ice cream, had a chummy little girl’s night, and we had moved on. This is what our friendship was built on. If you took those experiences away there wouldn’t be half the friendship there was.
However, this time it was different, this time the pain was more acute. This time it was Sirius Black. And that made a difference.
However, this time I decided to forgive her. This is what our friendship was made of, and this is what it would continue to grow on.
I think.
