Hia all, I'm Luna! Thanks for checking out my bio- I hope you got here because I got a story published that you liked!
I must get some things out of the way....
OTP: Remus/Tonks all the way. They are just my favourite.
Favourite Characters: Remus and Tonks, and then Luna.
Favourite Book: OOTP. Has anyone else ever left the second "O" out of OOTP? Because I did that once (on a forum- I don't proofread as carefully on those) and everyone asked if my favourite book was seriously called One True Pairing.
Random Things About Me:
I will be available for beta'ing, and I actually love to proofread (if you've ever been on HP Fanfiction and stumbled across one of my reviews- under this same username- you know what I mean.), so I will be delighted if anyone asks me to beta for them.
Random facts:
I love Evanescence.
I also love country music. Besides Evanescence and Flyleaf, it's all I listen to. I'm not what you'd call eclectic.
If you say Stephenie Meyer is the new JKR, I will be sorely tempted to smack you over the head with one of Meyer's unnecessarily long, fluff filled books.
I'm really tall. Like, I'm that tall person who's sitting in front of you at a movie who you wish would just move already. On behalf of all of us, we're sorry.
I've had enough true tragedy and drama in my life that I can sincerely tell anyone who wishes their life was more exciting that I'll trade.
I'm homeschooled.
I used to be a warm and happy person who'd hug all her friends. That person was replaced with the Adrian Monk-like germophobe I am today.
I'd like to walk up to the Jonas Brothers and tell them that they are no-talents (because they are).
I think Miley Cyrus needs to listen to Everybody's Fool by Evanescence.
The song Imaginary by Evanescence pretty much describes my life.
I like giving epic rants of doom on my website about stupid people doing stupid things.
I think little kids are awesome.
Fall is my favourite season.
I'm a thinker and an over-analyser. I'm not jaded.
I want to be a 1) a country singer, 2) lead singer of a rock band like Evanescence or 3) a naturopath (doctor who treats using natural remedies- it's actually not the same as a homeopath, if you're wondering.)
Babies terrify me.
I love people who love me for me- whether it's for my stories, my music, or just my random weirdness- those are my favourite people. So to anyone who ever took time to review one of my stories, thanks so much!

What I love about this fic is that you keep it so subtle and humourous. I like to think that their relationship started out this way too. :D
This is weird and random, but the roach thing actually had me grossed out just reading it. You write very vividly!
This is the best Remus/Tonks fic out there as far as I can tell. It's just wonderful. You have talent! I wish I could be a little less angsty in my writing... I love reading humour as much as angsty stuff, but I can only seem to write angsty... Ah well, I can just read other authors' fics that are more humourous, like this one. :D
-Luna-
P.S. I love your username!
Author's Response: Oh my God! Are you serious? Thanks so much... for everything you said! I'm glad that you like it! And, thanks for saying it is the best... that makes me feel amazing!
And, thanks, about the username as well!
I really like the relationship between Tonks and Mad-Eye here. It's so cool (in canon and here) how they argue all the time and yet he's almost like a favourite uncle to her.
You are a really a great writer; the last chapter had me laughing, and this one has me feeling sad. Again, you write quite vividly. It's refreshing to see that in fanfic! (Particularly in a Remus/Tonks fanfic, since that's my OTP and all...)
-Luna-
Author's Response: Thanks so much again! I wish I could learn different ways to say thanks. Your reviews are my longest I've ever recieved, I believe. And, thanks. I think of Mad-Eye kind of like that to her as well, especially since they kind of describe her as his protegee.
And, they are that for me as well. Believe me, the Half-Blood Prince movie has had me crying like crazy and also ranting much.
Your dialogue is very natural, the descriptions are still realistic, and the characterisation and relationships are lovely. I do wish I'd joined early enough that I could have found out how one nominates a fic for the Quicksilver Quill awards...
~*~*~
Small Nitpicks:
#1: “And, Kingsley Shacklebolt is on his way, too."
Unnecessary comma- should read: And Kingsley Shacklebolt is on his way too.
#2: "...the woman who’s heart he would soon have to break."
Homonym confusion- should be: ...the woman whose heart he would soon have to break. :D
~*~*~
-Luna-
Author's Response: Thanks... that makes me feel wonderful... I have no idea how anyone nominates, I think it has to do with the other forum thingy.
Oh, wow, I'm amazed you noticed... and thanks. I'm also shocked the validating people didn't find it.
Kingsley is funny!
And I like how at the end the witch mistook Remus and Tonks for husband and wife. It was cute. :D
-Luna-
Author's Response: Thanks. And, I'm so glad you like all of the parts that you keep listing!
Wow, you can write anything! Tears, happiness, cockroaches... :D
To be serious, it was a lovely chapter, this. I really love the dialogue and the way you describe her crying. (That sounds weird to say I liked the way she cried, but it was a good description!)
-Luna-
Author's Response: It may sound weird, but I love that you think that!!! And, I love how you think I can write anything. Like, seriously. Thanks soooooo soooo much!!!!!
I like that you have it that Tonks and Bill dated when they were in school- they seem like the kind of ship that really makes sense. (But thank goodness they didn't stay together or there wouldn't be the Remus/Tonks ship and I would be very sad because it's my favourite. :D)
All the dialogue is, once again, so real. It's lovely.
-Luna-
Author's Response: Thanks. I wonder if it is canon, that... but, I'm so glad Jo didn't put them together. We wouldn't have Remus/Tonks. We'd be the delusional ones!!!! :P Thank you so incredibly much for all of your reviews and compliments on my dialogue as well!
Hia Remora! I thought I'd review this now that I'm FINALLY a member... I've read this story loads of times by now, but I still love it. I like how you write Tonks. The story starts to make me want to cry, but then you so nicely throw in that blue mohawk bit near the end and make everyone want to laugh...
-Luna-
Author's Response: Yay! I'm so glad you could join, and thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like it!

This is a really nice story. But I do have a question- why does it have an AU warning? Just curious. :D
~*~*~
The CC Section:
#1: "As he swooped down, he suck his leg out..."
Typo- should read: As he swooped down, he stuck his leg out...
#2: "To her he would just be that guy I once knew, No-one important, just a part of her past. "
Now, I'm not British, so I can hardly be called an expert at Brit-picking, but I think it would sound better this way...
"To her he would just be that bloke she once knew, no one important, just a part of her past."
~*~*~
I think this is a really emotional fic, and I absolutely loved it! I'm so glad you reviewed mine, or I wouldn't have found this. (I always read the author pages of anyone who leaves me a review.)
The note at the end was just... heartbreaking, but at the same time very sweet and wonderful.
Good luck with your next fic!
-Luna-
Author's Response:
oops! I accidently replied to your review with a review. :P
It has an AU warning because this scene doesn't actually happen in the books. (See The Princes Tale) Also I needed to get this story past the lovely modlies. :)
I submitted by newest story a few daays ago but it wasn't approved due to a few grammatical and capitalisation errors but hopefully they are sorted out now! It's a bit of a weird one though.
I think I will make those changes you suggested when I get a chance.
Thanks for the feedback. :D

ps. I've just read your profile and it is so funny! :D Its good to know someone else is as mad as me and likes Evanescence! hehe
