I changed the title of "Year of Change" to "In Your Dreams" (still subject to change) because it seemed to fit better.

Hopefully I can work on updating it ... er, a bit more often. Heh. I get quite distracted with projects and tend to ... Leave them. Ignored. For long periods of time. Heh. My apologies and hopefully things will go a bit more smoothly. =) Please read and review, though! I'd like to try and do a few one-shots as well.

For me, fanfiction is more of a way to work on writing STYLE rather than developing the characters -- but at the same time it helps to work on maintaining characters' personalities. It's a break from my more serious stuff (seen at my fictionpress and on my deviantart sites) to just toy around in a universe that I didn't have to spend time creating. =) Hehe.

fan fictions i read:

Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean

pairings i like:

James/Lily (my favorite, obviously), Lupin/Tonks, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione

Elizabeth/Will (PotC)

pairings i hate/dislike/am not fond of:

Sirius/Remus, Sirius/James, Snape/Lily, Snape/James, Snape/Sirius, Harry/Draco, uhh, basically any slash pairing that isn't cannon

Fred/George (seriously, wtf?!), Ginny/Draco, Hermione/Draco, Harry/Hermione, and from PotC I hate Elizabeth/Norrington,

Elizabeth/Jack, and un-canon slash pairings, and also ANY type of original character pairing. Unless they're EXTREMELY well written.

Err ... Please note. I'm not, like. IHATEGAY. Believe me, I've got a bi friend and a gay relative who I both love to death. I just ... Don't like slash pairings in fanfiction because ... They don't make sense? Ever. Like .. Harry/Draco? No. Don't think so. Anyway, that's that. Just thought I'd leave a disclaimer.

As you can see, I'm picky. I ... have tons more pairings I despise than I love. Heh.
