Hello! You can call me Manda. I've loved Harry Potter for as long as I can remember, and I've written fanfiction for almost a year off and on. You'll find that I'm not hugely active, but I'm getting back into it now that the movies have all been released. This site is keeping me from going insane!
~ Random Facts About Me ~
~ "I'm highly logical, which allows me to look past extraneous detail and perceive clearly that which others overlook." -Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
~ I have this and other quotes written on white boards in my room.
~ Dobby, Luna, Ginny, Neville, Ron, Hermione and Rose are my favorite characters.
~ I ship anything canon, plus Rose/Scorpius. I can handle the occasional Neville/Luna or Sev/Lily if it's written well and believably.
~ I find a way to mention Harry Potter in every conversation I have. My dad says I have a "one-track brain."
~ I'm really good at math, and I'm two grades ahead at school.
~ Last year I was the only one in my language arts class who believed in second-person point-of-view. My teacher believed me, though. :)
~ Pickles are my absolute favorite food. They are awesome.
~ My Stories ~
~ Crashing Down Around Them: On Hold Indefinitely. I may come back to this story later and redo it, but for now I won't be writing any more.
~ The Christmas Caller: Complete! This is my first finished story, and I'm very proud of it!
~ I'm George Weasley!: Complete! This is a one-shot sequel to The Christmas Caller, suggested by a reviewer! I may add more to it eventually, but for now it works as a one-shot.
~ Spellbound: Chapter Nine Approved! This story is Chamber of Secrets from Ginny's POV, with a very interesting twist...
