Hi! Well, I am a big fan of fanfiction.net, and I hope to write some stories on here. My favorite fanfictions are Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and a couple others. I am hoping to improve my writing skills so I can one day write my own book and have it published.

I have two discussion groups at http:///group/twilight_author_488 (the old one) and a newer one I am working on at http://for those of you interested. Please visit them both. I would very much enjoy for people to use these sites.

To tell you a little about my personal life, I am 17, and live in North Carolina, USA. Writing is the thing I love to do most with my freetime, besides reading. I just finished the sizth Harry Potter book, which was a surprising book for me in some aspects, and in some not so surprising.

For myself personally, I used to have braces and glasses, was a fanatical reader (I read classical novels in second and third grade), and was the class-appointed "Nerdette" in 8th grade. (Nothing official, just a bunch of people thought it was funny.) I have always loved reading, It isa favorite past time of mine. As much as I love reading, I love to write as well. I am working on a novel (explains delay in fanfics, huh?) which has been in the works for a little over two years (part of the nerd persona, too.) I love for people to read my stories and get some enjoyment out of them. (And let me tell you, I'm much better writing my own personal stories than fanfics because the whole thing is from my imagination and there is no limitation to what I can do.)

All of my fanfiction so far has been Harry Potter because it is the easiest to write. Especially when they're about Snape. My newest story, Harry Potter and the Cave of Revelations, is going to get better soon, so don't worry if you're reading that. As for To Wish One Could Forget, I was rereading it and discovered how dissapointed I was with the ending, so I'm changing it. Hope I get a lot of feedback from that. BTW, I always need a beta reader for each of my stories, so if I ever come out with a new one after these two, volunteer if you'd like to help.

I can always use new ideas for fanfiction stories, so if you have any that I could write, how about giving me an idea? I'm going to write a scene from HBP in Snape's perspective (a one-shot), but it may take a while to come out with since I'm in the process of writing three stories right now.

Maybe I should give a description of what each of my stories is about:

I Believe

Sort of a pre-Harry Potter and the Cave of Revelations story. Tells about Snape's wife, who died tragically. This is where Isabella Snape was formed first, for readers of my two other fanfics. It's a short song-fic based on the song from Diamond Rio that I was listening to when writing To Wish One Could Forget, and it gave me the idea.

Mad World

This is a story about the world after Harry Potter is believed to be dead, and is seen through his eyes. It's also a one-shot based on a song by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews (I think). I'm thinking of doing a whole fanfic on this one, what do you think?

To Wish One Could Forget

My first real fanfic. Harry leaves the Dursleys and stays with Snape over the summer, who is trying to teach him Occlumency. Harry gets kidnapped by Voldemort right under Snape's nose. Sirius comes back here. Basically a standard Snape-saves-Harry fic. Hated the ending though, so I'm going to change it.

Harry Potter and the Cave of Revelations

In this one, Harry's kindapped in the beginning of the story, and Snape has to save him (again.) Harry discovers that he's dying of a disease from one of the potions Snape gave him when he was a prisoner. Throughout this story, Harry will find clues that will allow him to destroy Voldemort, him being the "Wielder of the Key" (That comes later, folks). Has to do with Merlin and my bad latin skills. May be a long story, so fasten your seatbelts please.

That's all I can think to put in here for now, and probably more than anyone will ever read. :-P
