I never intend to steal anyone's picture for my avatar. I do not own most of the pictures I use. If you ever see a picture there that is yours and you do not wish me to use it, just tell me.

I'm trying to transition out of fanfic writing to my original material, but it's hard when plot bunnies happen, lol. I do have a Fiction Press account, though currently I only have one piece pasted there.

If any of you lovely people who can actually draw/paint/etc would like to make cover art for any of my stories I would be much obliged.

Looking at GOF I noticed a line that reads "...and Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry." I found that amusing considering the multitude of Severus adopts Harry fics out there. Does that mean they get to play games in Potions class now too? *grin*

About Burn Reviews: I'm all for constructive critisism, but it confuses my why anyone would waste their time writing a flat-out burn review. But there you go. You'd think if someone didn't want to read about the something they wouldn't. Say, if they didn't like characters being gay, they wouldn't read a SLASH fic but, again, there you go. I don't particularly enjoy being preached to about how my my views are wrong. Huh, who would have thunk? *Sarcasm*

On the flip side, it annoys me when I try to give constructive criticism and the writer blows up at me. Geez, what did you think reviews were for? Pure, unadulterated praise? Someone has an ego...

Now, about me.

Let's see...

I'm 25 years old.

I both took a gap year and studied abroad. If you can yoh can go abroad, do it, especially if you are studying a foreign language.

I'm an actress, singer, and theatre geek, though recently I've been doing a lot of modeling & short film work. I'm also working on my Spanish Interpreter certification.

Fandoms I've written for:

Harry Potter

Glee

Artemis Fowl

Supernatural

The Nanny (not posted)

Other Fandoms:

Doctor Who

Sherlock

Star Trek TOS

Smallville

Chuck

Bones

Starkid

LotR/The Hobbit

Tamora Peirce

Narnia

Oz

Books. Just basically books, lol

Musicals, all the musicals

Harry Potter was my first fandom and I'm basically an encyclopedia. And if you get me started on it, don't expect me to stop any time soon.

I also love Shoshana Bean, Megan Hilty, The Senate (a band you probably haven't heard of), Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Charlene Kaye, the Dixie Chicks, Idina Menzel, Juanes, Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, the Beatles, Billy Joel, and, well, a lot of other music, of all sorts of genres.

I think I'm a pretty good writer, though making all my original fiction ideas come together into real stories gives me issues.

I LOVE to read. I read and write all the time, even when I shouldn't. I especially like fantasy, but really anything that is a good story with good characters. I love characters. I can forgive a lot if the characters are engaging.

Some of my favorite books and authors are, of course, Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, but also LOTR, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Book Thief, Melanie Rawn, Tanith Lee, Tamora Pierce...the list goes on.

I don't like math or science, I much prefer English and Spanish.

I'm a bit of a sap, I admit it, I cry easily and I like sappy stuff, as you'll probably find if your read my stories.

I ride horses, I'm decently good.

I can't spell. That's what Spell Check is for.

I love the romantic fantasy world in general and sometimes feel like I'd rather live there than in the real world. Romantic not necesarily as in love/romance but romantic in the broader sense of the word.

I love faeries and I collect faerie figurines and other faerie related stuff. (And I prefer that spelling of faerie)

Sometimes I can act like a little kid, but sometimes I can act really mature too.

There are several other part of my personalilty that are like that.

My favorite color is yellow. I know there are lots of ugly shades, but I like a good yellow. I like yellow and lime green together. Lime green is my second favorite color (not the neon kind that burns your eyes out, the nice kind).

I am a natural blond with brown eyes.

I can organize my time well. My stuff? Not so much...but I'm a LOT better them I was growing up.

I love animals, especially cats and snakes and horses.

There is no order to this list.

Yes, I'm willing and happy to talk to you :)
