Favourite Harry Potter Characters:

Severus Snape: courageous, subtle, loyal, cold, sarcastic, Severus Snape is a complex man with a secret past. Often portrayed as a vampire or the Dark Lord's heir apparent.

Lucius Malfoy: calm, collected, suave, aristocratic, Lucius Malfoy is the epitome of sophistocated beaurocrat. Often portrayed as vampire, relative of Severus Snape, or loyal Death Eater.

Draco Malfoy: cool, arrogant, prince of Slytherin, Draco Malfoy is a young man on the verge of the abyss; he must choose between following his father, or following his heart. Often portrayed as a vampire.

Harry Potter: timid, brave, abused, Harry Potter is the hero of the Wizarding world. Often portrayed as a vampire, an Azkaban prisoner, Voldemort's right-hand, or a true hero.

James Potter: prince of Gryffindor, arrogant, spoiled, outgoing, flirtatious, James Potter is a man with man triumphs and many flaws. Often portrayed as an arrogant prick or Voldemort's Dark Prince.

My Hobbies:

Horseback riding: I love horses to death. Ever since I can remember, I have had an undying passion for them. When I was ten started riding and fell in love with it. I have since owned my own horse; I know how to train a yearling foal and can handle a stallion.

Reading: Another passion of mine is reading. I love reading Fantasy and Horror novels; I despise romance novels like Twilight and happy-go-lucky stories like The Phantom Stallion. A good story has a decent plot and sub plots that leave the readers speculating about what's going to happen. I love entering the promise land the author has written; it feels like s/he wrote it just for me.

Writing: Words! I love words. My world revolves around words. Big words. Little words. Any kind of word. If I don't know what it means, I look it up on the dictionary. Writing is something I truly love doing. Fan Fiction allows me to test and improve my skills. Like most people here, I'm hoping to be a published author some day. I'm already hard at work working on my own story. :winks:

Fan Fiction:

Writing: When it comes to writing Fan Fiction, I am a perfectionist. I am constantly looking for new and original plots within the story. Those of you who are familiar with my work know that my update are sporatic and far between. This is because I like to make sure that I am happy with what I have written and that it does not reveal too much of what I have planned for future chapters. I am currently in the process of writing the sequel to Moon Called and the beginning of a new story, Legend of the Flame Song. These stories both feature original female characters as the protagonists. After reading many stories upon this site, I have come to learn just how important it is for a character to be round. I try very hard to keep my characters as believable as possible and their abilities to what is expected of them.

Reading: I enjoy a story as much as the next person. However, there must be a compromise between the writer and the reader. When I enter a story, I expect the story to begin with a hook to capture the reader; a good hook does not necessarily start with the action right away. I also expect the story to be well-written; no author is perfect, I understand that, and I am aware that everyone creates mistakes. I do it too! I am talking about a story where the grammar is so horrible that it is difficult to read. I greatly enjoy different and unique plots. The more unique the better. I don't care what it is; if it's well-written and well-thought-out, I'll read it.

Reviewing: I am a sensitive little person. I despise Flames. They affect me the worst of all the reviews I can possibly receive. I am here to improve my writing skills and because I enjoy it - I am not a professional! I want people to tell me if they do not understand something or if my writing irritates them in a certain way. But, as with everything, you can go about this respectfully. Please be courteous when you are reviewing other people's work. Remember that you, yourself, may not like what someone has to say in regards to your story.
