Howdy! Firstly, thanks for checkin out my profile. Secondly, I have discovered that reviews make the world go round, so if you happen to read one of my fics, please review, even if you thought it could've been better (cuz it probably could've). Thirdly, I've got 8 fics and 4 co-fics(because I really do have that much of a not-life):One-shots: "Love Needs A Little Help" (HP), "Waltzing" (HP, poemfic), "Within Your Eyes" (Labyrinth, songfic), "Photographs and Tears" (HP, sequel to Emerald and Onyx), and "Gotta Do More, Gotta Be More" (DPS semi-ansty twoshot, no slash) Full length: "The Only One He Ever Loved" (HP, it's actually more of a twoshot, but oh well), "Emerald and Onyx,"(HP, Sirius/Lily), "Baby Swan" (PotC), and "Something Old and Something New" (Torchwood). co-written with my partner in crime, HannahCimsGwendolyn: "General Hogwarts"(HP, makes fun of both Marauder Era Harry Potter and soap operas (specifically, in this case, General Hospital) and "Finding Love Through Broken Glass" (an HP angsty/emo/romance parody oneshot).In Progress: "Days of the Ring" (LotR), co-written with my partners in crime, HannahCimsGwendolyn and xXBroken WingsXx, "All My Fathers" (HP, sequel to General Hogwarts), which, again, I'll be co-writing with HannahCimsGwendolyn. Stuck With Me and Return of the Dutchman have been deleted due to writer's block and no time to write. For Mercutio and One Known Terror have been deleted due to them pretty much sucking coz they're full of plot holes and Sues (bows head inshame). I've learned my lesson. In my defense, I wrote them when I was about 13 or 14. = P
NOTICE: ALL CO-FICS HAVE BEEN MOVED! General Hogwarts, All My Fathers, and Days of the Ring have been moved to our joint account. This is an account between HannahCimsGwendolyn, YourxFirefly (formerly xXBroken WingsXx), and I. Our joint account is SWD18. I will still be writing (by myself) on this account, though. Finding Love Through Broken Glass is indeed a co-fic, but it's on here because stuff went down with our password and joint e-mail being shut down and yeah. It's all good, though, so I'll move that when I get the chance.
ANOTHER NOTICE:I'm sorry, but rant of the week has been taken down. Not that anyone really reads it, but if y'all haven't noticed, it hasn't been updated in about a year. This is because with my schoolwork getting heavier and heavier, I don't have time. I suppose if I get enough complaints, I'll put it back up, but I doubt anyone'll miss it that much.
I am interrupting myself before I forget to tell you. This really belongs down there (points to random junk below), but I feel like putting it up here. AN INTERESTING AND RANDOM FUN FACT ABOUT ME: Harry Potter's godfather (by the last name of Black) was his dad's best friend.My godfather is my dad's best friend, and who is it but one Meestare Black. He and my dad were best friends through highschool and still are. I dunnow, just thought that was kinda nifty, that's all.
THE GREAT AND POWERFUL HOBBIT COMMANDS YOU TO VISIT HER FRIENDS!! HannahCimsGwendolyn who majors in HP, CSI, and House; YourxFirefly (formerly xXBrokenWingsXx), majoring in HP, Alice in Wonderland, Buffy, and JTHM; Kondundrum (formerly Shoyru31), who specializes in PotC (thus far, anyway); and up-and-coming author Gwynplaine...as soon as he's allowed to post. = D, whose first (posted) fic will be Batman. OH! How can I forget HeadinTheClouds13?? Okay, I don't actually know her, but she shares my love for DPS and Torchwood, and doesn't think it's weird to cross them. XD So yes, she's got two fics, both DPS. Go read all of those fics!! NOW!! NOBODY QUESTIONS THE GREAT AND POWERFUL HOBBIT!!
Current Persuits that I suggest:
These go in no particular order. I put this up here so you didn't get bored reading the other stuff first, in case you were wondering.
Books: Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton (love his name!) (fantasy), "Othello," and "Macbeth" (Shakespeare, Tragedy), A Separate Peace by John Knowles (history drama, but really good and really sad. Good for you slash fans out there, it's barely even subtext...and I'm not even a slash-minded person), Eragon series by Christopher Paolini(fantasy, waiting for the third book), Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (fantasy), "Hamlet" (Shakespeare, tragedy, kinda hard to get into, but a good read nonetheless), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kessey (fiction...um...??), Aristotle's Children (nonfiction, theology, philosophy)
Movies: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman (Comedy/Shakespeare spinoff, really confusing), Shakespeare in Love with The Guy that Played Lord Dudley in Elizabeth (with Cate Blanchette and Geoffrey Rush, also suggest that), Geoffry Rush, Gweneth Paltrow, and Ben Affleck (Romance), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with Angela Lansbury (horror/thriller/musical, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Tim Burton's verson rocked, but I still like both; they both have their merits and drawbacks), Much Ado About Nothing with Kenneth Branaugh, Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson, Robert Sean Leanard, Michael Keaton, and That Guy that Plays Hector in "Monarch of the Glen" (Romantic Comedy, but even guys have to like this one! Keanu Reeves is the bad guy, and Denzel Washington is his brother the Prince!), Corpse Bride with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Tim Burton officially gets his own genre...O.o), Ladies in Lavender with Dames Maggie Smith and Judy Dench (not sure what genre this is...we'll put it in miscellaneous), Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrel, Emma Thompson, and Maggie Gillenhall (comedy/tragedy...I know, I know, but if I said any more, it would give the ending away), Pan's Labyrinth (fantasy), The Watcher with Keanu Reeves (thriller/suspense, REALLY good! Keanu Reeves is, again, the bad guy and does an EXCELLENT job!), V for Vendetta with Hugo Weaving and Stephen Frye (ok, so Frye is a bit part, but SO WHAT?!), All the Queen's Men with Eddie Izzard and Joey from Friends (comedy), Mirrormask with Stephanie Leonidas and Jason Barry (Tommy from Titanic!! Squee!!) (weird fantasy acidtrip-esque...it was written by Jim Henson before he died, but made in like 2005 or something like that).
T.V.: "Monarch of the Glen" (soap opera...ish), "Northern Exposure" with Rob Morrow, Barry Corbin, Darren E. Burrows (squees), and Cynthia Geary (comedy, sort of? This one'll go in msic., too), "Ugly Betty" with America Ferrera (cute and soapy), "Doctor Who," with David Tennant and Freema Agyman (SciFi/Fantasy/Horror), "Torchwood" with John Barrowman, "Charmed" with Hollie Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and Rose McGowan (supernatural/fantasy), "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," with Sarah Michell Gellar, Anthony Stewart Head, Allison Hannigan, and James Marsters (fantasy/supernatural), "Ghost Hunters" (supernatural/SciFi/reality), "House, M.D." with Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leanard (medical drama)...and Chase, whose long blonde hair flows in the wind ; ), "Jekyll" with James Nesbitt (Fantasy/Horror), "A Bit of Frye and Laurie" with Stephen Frye and Hugh Laurie (Comedy/Skit)
Music: The Cure, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy (emo...what? everyone's gotta have an emo fix), Sugarland, Lonestar, Rascall Flatts (Country), David Bowie, Queen (glam rock), Lemon Demon (alternative/web rock...the band who brought you "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" and the same guy that brought you Potter Puppet Pals), Psychedellic Furs, Talking Heads, R.E.M., Bule Oyster Cult (alternative), Jefferson/Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship (...hippie burnout??), Billy Joel, Sting, Cat Stevens, U2 (my mother's rock, but I like it anyway), Bare Naked Ladies, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Morrison (rock), Alanis Moresette (sp? Angry Chick), and many others I can't remember at this moment
Food: Burritos, anything texmex, really, chili pepper flavored spagetti (not as bad as one might think), beef stroganoff (sp?), mom-made blueberry tarts (with cool wip, of course), and a really thick juicy steak sounds reeeeally good right about now...
Hobbies: Knitting, cross-stitch, writing (more than just fanfiction), reading (as you can see), gabbing on the phone as I am wont to do, fixing my friends' problems (although that's quickly becoming more of an occupation...), swimming, string tricks (like Jacob's Ladder and such. one piece of string keeps me amused for 6 hours...), jumping around on my bed and lip-syncing "American Pie" and other such songs into my hairbrush (but then again, who doesn't_), and, of course, playing air-guitar in the car using my seatbelt as the neck = )
WARNING TO ALL FLAMERS: I always respond to reviews. This means flames, too. If you flame and that flame is signed, believe you me, you WILL hear from me. I'd actually prefer the flame tobe signed. This may be a rather Spartan point of view, but, in my opinion, to do otherwise would be cowardice. Come back with your shield or on it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! That is all I will say on the matter.
For Those of You Who Care and Have Been Trying to Figure this out Since You Saw Labyrinth:
BOTH doors lie! Cuz the blue one said "One of us always lies, and one of us always tells the truth." Well, he was lying when he said that. Cuz the red door leads to the castle, right? Well, Sarah asked him if the blue door would tell her that the red door would lead her to the castle. The red door said "yes". If he'd been lying, then the blue door would have said "no," in which case, the blue door would be lying, as well. You might say that in this argument, they might also both tell the truth. Well, if they told the truth, then they wouldn't have said "One of us always lies, one of us always tells the truth." The would've said "We always tell the truth." Hence all the sniggering andgiggling from the guys on the bottoms of the sheilds. And, if they were both lying, then it's not "in the rules" and they don't "don't know" like they say it is and they do. Also, if you think about it, if they were lying about where the doors lead, they could'vebothlead to "BABABABUM! Ceratin Death! Oooh!"It's taken me all my (relatively)short life to figure that out, and I finally have. Oh, by the way, they have names. Ralf and Alf. Never knew that before, saw it on a website.
My personal philosophy: I REFUSE TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT...it's offensive. (think about it)
My other personal philosophy: Live deliberately, laugh loud and often, and never ever settle for less than you deserve.
My personal saying that is trademarked to ME: I'm not clay, I refuse to be molded to your liking. I march to my own beat and that drummer plays his drumsticks like a piccolo. :grumble: Never said it was a very rhythmic beat...
Most Excellent...
Geeks (so I've got a thing for Geeks, get over it!), gingers (I think I may be the only girl in the world to like gingers), "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Charmed", Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland (book and movie, mostly movie), Harry Potter (books and fourth/fifth movie only), THE PRINCESS BRIDE "WESTLEY NEVER DIES!" (book and movie, mostly movie) Anyway...The Breakfast Club, Labyrinth, Mirrormask, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Buster Keaton, "Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", "Romeo and Juliet", Latin (or, really, languages at all)country music, 80s music, Psychedellic Furs, bra burning (I know, outdated and there's no need for it anymore, but that would be AWESOME! The world's worst invention since war. I'm not saying the bra is worse than war, it certainly is not, not by any stretch of the wildest imagination, but it's definitely in the top 5 list...), Anthony Stewart Head's (giggle "Head" hee hee) voice, James Marster's voice, Carry Grant (particularly Arsenic and Old Lace and Penny Serenade), Ed Chigliak (and his eyes), Warrick's eyes, and Mercutio (melts)I've tricked myself into firmly believing that there are only two acts in R+J..."Then Mercutio kills Tybbult and they all live happily ever after." : )Oh, Johnny Depp (and his eyes) (drools), (in case you haven't noticed, I've got a thing about eyes) Heath Ledger (RIP Heath; you'll be sorely missed), James Marsters (drooly drooly),and Orlando Bloom (must get a mop bucket, but it doesn't help much). They're all really great actors (especially Johnny Depp, really versitile, no danger of selling out or being type-cast), but they're also really hot.
Also a big fan of Sirius/Lily fics and angsty!abused!Draco fics. I've even written one of each. I like taking some of the really hard-to-reach types like Draco or Jareth (Labyrinth) and show a softer side of them. Makes them more human, in my opinion. Also also a big fan of wierd ships, like Sirius/Lily, Remus/Lily, Tom (Riddle, not the barkeeper)/Lily, Neville/Luna, Lucius/Bella (even though that's quite plausible) etc. Also also, also, in case you haven't figured it out, Harry Potter is my main fandom, followed closely by stuff I don't write fics for cuz I'm a purist about them and would never mess with the plotline, characters, etc. such as Princess Bride (all-time favorite movie). I've been going through my fics and I've noticed something. 5 out of my 11 fics are rated T for abuse (but that's just "Waltzing")or character death. Kinda morbid, isn't it? Your honor, I swear I'm not emo. (really, I'm not. It's just...all the good characters die. Niel, Sirius WHO'S NOT DEAD, Mercutio (who isn't dead, either), John Proctor, Finny, Remus, all of my favorites. Except Nuwanda, but he was expelled. And Meeks...but Meeks is just...Meeks.)

Heinous/Bogus:
LEMMINGS above all. For those of you who don't know what a lemming is, it's a person who can't think for themself and always follows the crowd no matter what. Actually, it's a type of animal that, once every few years, the leader of the group will lead the group off of a cliff and they all perish (yes, this ACTUALLY happens), hence the term "lemming." Also...Brad Pitt and most of his movies with the exception of "Meet Joe Black" and "Fight Club" (a close second to Lemmings. the dude looks like a monkey, but I've seen monkies that can act better than he does), Troy (yes, a Brad Pitt movie, but it deserves a special mention. Pitt's horrible acting outshone everyone else's good acting and ruined it for everyone...former rant of the week on Pitt/Troy available upon request), algebra homework or, really, math of any kind(Ancient Booer appears: "Rubbish! Slime! Muck! Filth! Booo! BOOOO!"), Act III of "Romeo and Juliet", Chapter twenty-something of Order of the Phoenix (the chapter where Sirius "dies"), third declension, third conjugation, Ablative Absolute, Passive Pariphrastic, Latin verbals in general, the section in our text books on Prehistoric Man (a good cure for unbreakable insomnia), popular people that think the universe revolves around them, washing dishes, rap music, flamers, and bread pudding. (shudders)

-Johnny Depp (same)
-James Marsters (same, and isn't gay. no matter what my mom says)
-Third declension (will go away eventually)
-Growing up (doesn't exist)
-David Tennant (isn't too old for me and will fall in love with me and ask me to marry him)
-John Barrowman (isn't gay or married. He just isn't! God can't make a man THAT perfect, then not only make him gay, but happily married!! It's just NOT FAIR!!)
-Hammond (also isn't married. He's so cute and squidgy!! He's like...me-sized!! XD)
-North Dakota (doesn't exist. It's just one big Dakota...Wyoming doesn't exist, either. Honestly, when's the last time you met someone from North Dakota or Wyoming?? Cheyney doesn't count coz he's a poorly-programmed robot anyway!)

Ships I sail that might (or have) sink (or may float, never know):
6) Gene and Finny (A Separate Peace. This is a big step for me, folks, I'm actually SUPPORTING a slash ship! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against slash ships, as long as they're cannon. And in my fandoms, not many of them are...) status: Everyone knows it secretly sailed!
5) Ron and Hermione (Harry Potter) status: DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILER ALERT!! finally sailed! married with kids.
4) Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones OR Jack Harkness and John Hart (Torchwood) status: Jack and Ianto: sailed and quite cute. =D Jack and John: Erm...not sure. It's sort of a love-hate relationship...
3) Sirius Black and Lily Evans (HP. Impossible, I know, but I like the idea) status: sunk/never existed
2) Willow and Oz (Buffy, I liked it better when Willow was strait. Oz was cool in all his mono-syllabicness. Tara was still cool, though.) (no comments from HannahCimsGwendolyn or xXBroken WingsXx about "what this movie needs" sticks out tongue) status: Titanic. Sailed, stayed afloat for a while, then went down like a flying rock.
1) Tony and Johnno (All the Queen's Men): Unfortunately, didn't sail. (emo) You can SO tell that Johnno was crushing on Tony!!

People I must meet and things that I must say to them:
Orlando Bloom: Do you use Tide? (inside joke. way inside. you need a flashlight to see it...)

Billy Boyd: (pokes) Tig!

Brad Pitt: (pokes his nose) TALENTLESS MONKEY! (runs away)
So when I come out of the initial shock that I'm actually breathing the same air as these people, I will definitely say these things...Okay, maybe not the Jack Davenport thing, but the others, definitely (particularly Bloom, Boyd, and Pitt... Kinda sounds like a law firm, doesn't it?) I love Jack Davenport too much to taunt him so.If anybody out there knows any of these people, please feel free to set them up for a short five minute interview with me.
