I'm Karissa, 17 years old.
I've been writing poetry for about seven years, but I just recently decided to try writing fan fiction.
I joined this site years ago because I absolutely love reading fan fiction. (:

Whats New?

So, I'm currently searching for a beta for The Things That Changed Me.

07/29/10
I read through chapter one of The Things That Changed Me and edited it for about the seventh time today.
I fixed, changed, rearranged, and added a lot of things, but it still just doesn't seem right. :(
I'm actually debating whether or not I should erase the whole bottom half and continue with the first half. Uhg.
-Later in the day-
So... I decided to delete the bottom half of the chapter and completely rewrite it. It'll just be a continuation of the first half.
-Even later-
So I finally posted the chapter and when I was going to shut my laptop, I got an idea for a one-shot. So, I decided to try it, I'm working on it and it's slowly, but surely, coming along.

I've decided to get back into my video editing nonsense. (:
I'm working on a trailer for The Things That Changed Me because I figure I should give you an idea of what I have up my sleeve.
Plus, maybe it'll make me stick closer to my notes and not drastically change every plan I make for this fic. -_-

The Things That Changed Me trailer is currently uploading on YouTube. It's at 11% and it apparently has "119 minutes remaining" :| Yup. One hundred nineteen minutes. So. Needless to say, I'm going to bed and I shall post the link tomorrow. Ah. Now I remember why I quit vidding, I get frustrated easily and when I'm frustrated, I'm extremely impatient. Hah. (:
-8:57PM-
I was finally successful in uploading the trailer! I had to make a Vimeo account and go through a lot of trouble, but it's finally up! YAY!

Basically, I just want to apologize for how much time I'm taking to post. My AP summer assignment is taking much more of my time than I expected.
But, don't worry. I am working on my projects every chance I get. (Which, unfortunately is not a lot of time)
Thank you for being patient. I'm expecting to finish the chapter later today. (So far I have 1,097 words, which isn't nearly enough. I expect to at least double or triple the word count)
I'm working hard to try and make it worth the wait.

I have yet to finish Chapter Two. I'm really disappointed. I just can't seem to keep my head in this story.

07/19/11
So I was reading my fanfic, The Things That Changed Me... and I was thinking about working on it again, once I find my spiral with all my ideas... I know it's been aproximately a year... but I really hadn't planned on abandoning it. Hmm...

Stories.

The Things That Changed Me
Trailer: http://vimeo.com/13839952 (be sure to read description if you want to comment/review it)
About the story: Well, I chose to name it The Things That Changed Me because we're with Hermione as she remembers what made her the way she is now, and as we keep going, we'll learn what changes her throughout the story. It's basically about Hermione finding herself again and allowing herself to fall in love.
Blah. I really don't know where this story is going anymore. Hahaa. I had everything planned out and while I was writing, everything changed. I mean everything!
07/29/10 - Chapter one is posted! (: (2,359 words)
08/02/10 - Trailer is posted! :D
08/10/10 - Chapter two is posted. (2,430 words)
