Hello. You seem to have stumbled upon my author's page. If it is because you like what I write, I thank you and here is my therapist's phone number, because if you think I'm talented you are in serious need of some psycological help.
So, yeah. Basically, I’m Jordan, just a small-town girl that is trying to make the most of her life and writes to keep herself sane. My favorite character in the whole series is Luna Lovegood.
I'm a pretty nice person, and the only reason I won't like you is if you're mean to someone who doesn't deserve your disrespect. However, I'm also a very boring person. But, if you want to learn more, visit my LiveJournal or add me on IM.
Cheers,
Jordan

Pain Can Lead to Laughter by lily_writes
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: This one-shot was made as a sequel/follow up to Before They Died. It follows the tragic tale of the day that led to an innocent man to be falsely imprisoned for twelve long, hard years. This fic also offers an explanation as to why he was laughing when the Ministry picked him up.

Date: 12/23/06 Title: Chapter 1: A Bad Day After A Worse Night
A few small things.
“Liar!” he roared. You were their Secret Keeper when they died. Only you could’ve told him where to go!”
There should be a quotation mark before 'You'.
His face then contorted itself into on he though conveyed an emotion of deepest anguish and despair, but only succeeded in creating one of fear and patheticism.
I think you mean 'one' and 'thought'.
While I can't imagine myself not catching these, I apologize if I overlooked them.
Author's Response: It\'s alright.
Date: 03/10/07 Title: None
One thing I liked about this story is that there is excellent dialogue-- you seem to have the characters well in character, at least with what they say. But I also noted a few mistakes.
Excuse me, but are you Harry Potter?” A quiet, high pitched voice asked.
It should be: "Excuse me, but are you Harry Potter?" a quiet, high-pitched voice asked.
“Yeah, I am.” Harry replied, “But, who are you?”
It should be: "Yeah, I am," Harry replied. "But who are you?"
Other than little mistakes like that, though, your grammar seems to be fine.
I was a little bit confused at the beginning, I must confess. It all seemed to happen so quickly. Vernon lost his temper kind of fast, and even though he doesn't like Harry I can't see him kicking Harry out over a small thing such as a dream. He got angry too easily, I think, and you should've drawn it out a little bit more.
I like Thalia so far, but how she just came right out and said she was a werewolf is a little weird to me. Maybe it's just because Remus was so hesitant about telling people he was a werewolf. (Maybe that's just Thalia, though?) Her little visit with Harry was just a little too hurried, but you displayed her emotions very well. Being a werewolf would be very tiring, emotionally and physically.
All in all, a good fic. You have potential (a lot of it, too) but you need to work on putting just a tad bit more detail and not hurrying things so much.
Author's Response: Thanks for the help, I\'ll get around to fixing up the chapter soon. It also really helped point me in the right direction.
Ashes of Stars and Rain by Visceral Love
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: There is nothing more potent than pure love. Luna and Draco have accepted love, but can they bring themselves to accept the changes that it has wrought? The answers lay between the ashes of stars and rain.
Date: 04/12/07 Title: Chapter 1: Ashes of Stars and Rain
Wow. I'm speechless. This was such a thoughtful story, and I'm really at loss on what to say. You're obviously a detail-writer, aren't you? Where I love dialogue and am horrible at details, you seem to be able to describe your world so... dreamlike. Because that's what this story seems to be-- a sort of dream.
I really love Luna in this fic. Even though she's changed, she's still completely in character. It's like you've had her realize that she needs to grow up, yet she's still, deep down, the same crazy Luna I love. The part about the mud proves that. The war has changed her, and her love with Draco has, too, but she still takes the time to stop and play in the mud.
The only thing I thought was weird- that I didn't really like- was how old fashioned and poetic Draco and Luna sounded. I realize that if they talked any other way the story probably wouldn't sound as good, but the way they talks seems to be all in riddles. :S It kind of confuses me, as if they are saying one thing, yet the meaning is something completely different.
All in all, though, a beautiful fic. I've read it several times now and I have gotten a new meaning from it each time. I loved the ending-- how you left it off like that. Very mysterious and makes you hope that you write a companion to this. (Okay, I think I only owe you one more review now :D)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review.
Of Bras, Hail, and Pustules by joybelle423
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: The Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams are trapped in the locker room due to a sudden hail storm, and they both want the pitch when the rain lets up. What do they do to determine who gets it? Play Truth or Dare, of course!
Written for FenrirG for the Ravenclaw Spring Exchange 2007.
Date: 04/21/07 Title: Chapter 1: Of Bras, Hail, and Pustules
Oh, Abigail! I absolutely loved it. It was hilarious. I saw the title and was like, "WHAT?!" then I saw you wrote it and was like, "I have to read it!" and then realized I can use the review for the SBBC.
I'm very glad I read this story, Abi. Your writing style is wonderful, and you have excellent flow. The way that one sentence connected with another astounded me, because many writers tend to have more short, choppy sentences. You have good dialogue, too, and your beta must've been amazing (well, Preethi is awesome, I must confess), because I only spotted one mistake:
'Angelina, maybe me should just let them have the pitch,’ Katie whispered.
I'm fairly sure that you meant for 'me' to be 'we'.
Anyways, I loved Fred and George in this fic. You seem to have their characterization down pat, and I applaud you for that. Fred kissing Angelina was uber cute, and I 'awwww'ed. George and Alicia was a nice touch, and I thought that George singing was funny. Definitely not one of those things I'd want to hear!
The whole Miles/Katie thing has me torn. I'm between saying that the Gryffindor/Slytherin thing happened too quickly, and the enmity is rooted too deep; and going "OMG, that was sooooo cute!" It reminds me a bit of Hermione/Draco, which I love. I'm going to have to say I like it, though, because it fit in well with the story, even though it's hard for me to imagine Katie Bell dating a Slytherin.
Hands down, best part was Draco with the bra. I nearly fell out of my chair with that part, and Angelina showing him how to put it on was great! Definitely something that would sober Malfoy for a bit.
Heehee. Thank you for the laugh, Abigail! I'm putting this story in my favorites.

Minding the Baby by Rhetor
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Andromeda is left alone with Teddy, or so she thinks.
Date: 08/05/07 Title: Chapter 1: Minding the Baby
You know, I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy this fic so much. It's been a while since I last read a fic where I just couldn't stop reading.
It was wonderfully written, and I think you displayed Andromeda's feelings well. (I'm also glad you inserted the H/G fluff in there. So sweet.)
I fully believe Draco deserves redemption, and I really liked how you did it here. A completely different way than I imagined, true, but better than any of my ideas.
Author's Response: Hi, Jordan. Thanks for those kind words; I\'m glad the story surprised you. The H/G fluff turned out (after I wrote it) to be so integral to the plot that I couldn\'t do without it. Thanks so much, ~Ken
