I'm 30 years old, married and an avid reader.
I love Fantasy books. Some of my favorite Authors include JKR, David Eddings, Tad Williams, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Elizabeth Hayden, and Robert Jordan.
I have a twin sister that betas for me. We have always been best friends and I hope we will stay that way.
I have found a great fondness for taking Hapkido. I'm currently a purple belt, and really having fun since I have gotten my twin, Step-sister, and husband to start coming to class with me. I also have a few other massage therapists from my office that come.
My favorite Animals are penguins. I also have a thing for cats, which led to me writing my first story, Switched.
My first Child was born in June. She is totally amazing, and I can't wait until she is old enough to share Harry with.
You belong in Gryffindor!

MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.
Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.
Pre-HBP and DH, so some things from DH will be disregarded, as the warning indicates, but some Spoilers will be incorporated.
Date: 03/05/07 Title: Chapter 40: Under Pressure
That was a great chapter. I loved the ornaments! I think you did a great job coming up with the type the Lupins would have had. The picture book was also great. :) I'm sure the rest of the visit will be very interesting. I look forward to seeing what happens next! Cyns
Author's Response: Thank you, Cyns! The ornaments were a good excuse to read Fantastic Beasts again. I just love JKR\'s sense of humor. Unfortunately, I had so much fun with it, I went a little overboard and ended up cutting several ornaments in my edit. It was just too much information! LOL Oh, well, that\'s what edits are for, right? I\'m glad you enjoyed the chapter, and thank you for letting me know.
Date: 11/16/06 Title: Chapter 37: The Crystal Ball
That kiss was GREAT! I'm so glad we finally get to see it. I'm not sure if I've reviewed yet, but I have totally enjoyed this story. Lindi is a great OC and very well thought out. Thanks for the enjoyment!
Author's Response: Oh, thank YOU, Cheshlin! I was very nervous about that kiss. After building it up for sooo long, I was really worried about it. Somehow, it was a lot easier to fantasize than to write. ;) But I definitely learned something…I don’t think there is any danger of me becoming a smut writer. LOL So thank you for being so nice about it, and also for your nice comments on Lindi. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I’ve had so much fun writing it.
Date: 05/17/07 Title: Chapter 43: Decisions, Gag Gifts and Worries Aplenty
Wow, Lindi met Greyback. Very interesting. It will also be interesting to see what Malfoy had to apologize for. I can totally understand Remus' choice not to tell her the truth at this time. It is a big thing, and the fewer people who know, the better. It is VERY big deal, and I don't think Remus could have done otherwise at this time. :) Cyns
Author's Response: Thank you, Cyns. I\'ve been nervous about how my/Remus\' decision would go over with readers, since I think there is a natural inclination to want to see him tell and find out how she reacts. My wonderful readers probably fear that I\'ll drag it out the way I dragged out the first kiss. LOL I can guarantee it will not be 37 more chapters before he does. *blush* I\'m very relieved to hear you agree with the decision for now. Thank you for that. What has Malfoy been up to other than being a slimy evil creep? I can guarantee that Remus will be sure to ask her next chapter. Wow, I\'m offering all sorts of guarantees. I better shut up before I guarantee more than I can produce. Thank you for reviewing. I appreciate it. :)
Date: 05/03/09 Title: Chapter 49: Friends Like These (Part Two)
LOL is all I have to say. The past two chapters have been so funny. It was great seeing the competition, and you did really well at coming up with some great challenges. Lindi coming out of the cake was AWESOME! Remus' reaction to seeing Lindi dressed like that was even better. I hope to be back soon to read the next few chapters. Thanks for the laughs. :) Cyns
Author's Response: :*/ *repeats groveling from reply below* I am so glad that you are still reading, Cyns, and to know you got a laugh or two out of these chapters. Thank you so much for telling me. I have to admit, it took a while to come up with challenges. I was starting to regret ever coming up with the blasted competition. >.< I made a note to have that sort of thing all worked out before writing something like it in again. Not that I plan any more big festivities... :) Seriously...no more big events. *wipes brow* I just want to get through the story. ;)
Date: 05/03/09 Title: Chapter 50: Happy Birthday, Remus
Ok, I lied. I couldn't help but read this chapter! Ah Remus. . . letting all that Firewhiskey go to your head. . . or is it other parts. hehe. I guess he was a teenager once too. . . Poor Lindi, not knowing what he is thinking, but then maybe it is better that way for the moment. Thanks for the smiles and laughs. :) Great chapter. Cyns
Author's Response: *heh* I like that kind of lie. ;) "other parts"... Ha! I'm not going anywhere near there! *bites lip* LOL But yes on all your points. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you for reviewing, Cyns.
Date: 09/08/07 Title: Chapter 46: Almost Perfect
Great chapter!!! I loved the kiss in front of the Slytherins. Go Lindi!! hehe. Cyns
Author's Response: *hehe* I figure Remus would make me lose control too...or take it! <.< One or the other. lol Thank you, Cyns.
Date: 04/04/07 Title: Chapter 41: Blossoming
I loved the snow globe, and how it goes from tacky to very magical! :) Poor James. I hope that Lily realizes what she has soon. (of course it has been his attitude getting in the way). I look forward to the next chapter! Cyns
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Cyns. I was a little worried that the snow globe thing would be kind of, I don\'t know, cheesy. (I\'m stuck on that word! :*) ) I\'m really glad you liked it. I just love that song and I\'ve always loved snow globes, so...Thank you. Poor James...lol Well, at least we know that eventually Lily realizes it. I hope to get the next chapter out in the not too distant future. Thanks for reviewing. I really do appreciate it.
Fifteen Minutes by HermioneDancr
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: People live and people die. Those who remain remember those who have gone before. Hermione has never told anyone at school about the summer before her third year, but she has not forgotten. One July afternoon during the summer after her fifth year, Hermione finds herself overcome by memories of the loss she never spoke about. Once again she relives the fifteen minutes she couldn't escape. One-shot.
Date: 12/29/05 Title: Chapter 1: Fifteen Minutes
Ok, I know you wrote this a while ago, but I just found it. I really liked it. It added a very interesting point of view. Makes you see a lot of things very differently. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! It makes me so happy to know that people are still reading a story from a while ago. I'm glad you liked my twist!
Date: 04/05/06 Title: None
Wow! I'm so glad that Harry is back to himself, but I hope that he is able to come around fast enough to be of help. I also hope that Snape is able to fight through whatever it is that Voldemort did, though I really doubt it. We really need Sirius and his wife to come from somewhere to battle them until Harry is strong enough to finish what he began year earlier. I look forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Hmm ... I can't say much to this review without giving too much away! I guess I can say that Sirius and Caraleana will come to battle Voldemort and try to save their daughter, although whether they succeed or not ...
Thank you for the review. ~Ermine the One
Author's Response: EDIT: As a Lamb to the Slaughter (Challenge 4 one-shot) has been validated :) Tears for a Wedding (Challenge 5 one-shot) has just been entered. Chapter 17 will be up a lot sooner than I first imagined :D

I find this story very interesting. I hope that Snape can stay on the side he seems to be on. He seems much more 'feeling' in this fic then in many that I have read. That is probably due to you likeing him!! :) Poor Phoebe. I hope she is able to deal with this and come out alive. Like I said in my last review, I want Harry to be brought back, and Gedrath to falter! :)
Author's Response: Yes, I do love Snape! He has more 'feeling' basically because of his realisation that he is a person, he has a life, and he has a right to it. I imagine Snape to see himself as someone that just exists really, just to live and to be someone for people to use as a scapegoat. I imagine that in Book 7 he will prove himself and so gain this 'feeling' that he has in my fic. I hope what I think about him will be true ...

It is sad seeing a broken down Tonks, but I can see that that might help Phoebe get closer to her. It might also save her being there and not at her own place. I still want to see Harry win over Gedrath, but I think Gedrath will give a fight and succeed in some things that aren't very nice.
Author's Response: Yes ... things will not go so wel with Gedrath ... :( and as for Tonks and Phoebe ...

A lot has definitely happened in that chapter. Harry seems to be getting more control over Gedrath...enough to realise what is going on, and getting sick over it. A lot of it would have been better if Sirius or Phoebe actually did kill him. Harry wouldn't have died totally himself, but at least a little in control. It is sad that Tonks is gone though. :( She has always been a favorite of mine. I hope that Snape can quit being such a twit and actually try to get Harry some help. I can't guess what is going to happen, but I can see some possibilities. I look forward to the next chapter.
Date: 02/04/06 Title: None
Wow! That was a very informative chapter. Harry made a Horcrux? I can't see him killing anyone or sacrificing his soul to do that, but I'll wait and see where you are going with that. I'm glad that Sirius forgave his wife. I want to see them at least a little happy. Snape grinning like that is really weird. I look forward to seeing why. I'm glad to see that Harry is winning a bit over Gedrath.
Author's Response: I enjoy writing Gedrath (twisted, I know) as he is basically, to me, what Harry really would become if he let his "powers" over-run him. Sadly though, I can't imagine JK turning Harry dark in the books. As for the Horcrux ... well, that is a question ...

That was a very interesting chapter. We definitely have a few answers. Now we need to see what happens from all this. "What a tangled web we weave" comes to mind! I look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: A tangled web is right ... I had so many problems writing the next chapter, nothing I put seemed to level up with Chappie 17 ... I\'m still worried it\'s not good enough! I\'l have to check it over ... again!

I really am curious as to who the new guy is! I know you'll give us clues though. I hope he can really help. It seems like they need all the help they can get!! Poor Phoebe. She has a lot on her plate.
Author's Response: yes, the next chapters only make things worse for her ....

Very interesting story line! I had an idea that Gedrath was Harry from the description in the first chapter! :) I don't really like the idea of Harry going bad, especially that bad, but it is still a very interesting story line. I also like the dream. Snape being inside Harry's head... that is very interesting.
Author's Response: Thanks! I know the idea of Harry being evil is kinda ... well, evil but it is just somthing I have been thinking of for quite some time so I decided to write it. I'm glad you like it though! Thanks for the review!
Date: 12/11/05 Title: None
I have a feeling that Harry isn't totally gone. If he was, he wouldn't have had any problem killing Phoebe. I soooo want to see hem change back to the good side, and truly beat Voldemort!! I look forward to the next installment!
Author's Response: Thanks, as do I! :D
Date: 12/05/05 Title: None
Wow. Poor Phoebe!! She just keeps having problems, doesn't she!! I hope that she makes it through this!! I also hope there is some hope for salvation for Gedrath....Harry can't be totally gone!! Great to see you updating again!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, I have begun to feel slightly sorry for Phoebe ... And Gedrath, although technically still being J.K's creations (him being Harry and all) I am very proud of him as a character. I hope there will be salvation for him also ;) Thanks for the review, I have just this minute submitted chapter 9, so you shouldn't have to wait too long!

Poor Sirius!! I hope that his family is able to pull back together. There has to be more there then it seems at the moment. Poor Phoebe, again! You do like tormenting your characters. It just makes me want something good to happen even more. I want to know what Snape is up to also. If he is the reason Harry became Gedrath, I hope he gets his due! That would be a really cruel thing to do, promise all the Horcruxes are gone, and knowing one of them is still there. I look forward to your next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! Well, things are pretty much getting summed up now, although don't worry - the whole Snape buisness will soon be wrapped up. Sirius will get another word in yet, though.

Death Be Not Proud... by Magical Maeve
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Okay, this is a strange one. I finished Daughter Of Light yesterday and decided to start my big edit of the whole fic. As I was working on chapter three this scene popped into my head. It is Maeve and Severus' death. I had to write it, just because the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so here it is. It's what could happen in a hundred years or so... so don't get too traumatised. :-)
Date: 12/30/05 Title: Chapter 1: Death Be Not Proud...
I just found this story, and having read DOL and HPSS, it was a wonderful story!! I was crying as I read Maeve's thoughts on going on with out Severus! I can see how she wouldn't have been able to do it.
Author's Response: Thanks, Cheslin! This review is so late because MNFF now gives me no excuse not to find my unanswered reviews. *blushes* And Maeve went with him because you hear so many stories of one spouse dying and the other following soon after, as if they just can\'t bear to live without their partner. That was the inspiration behind this.
