Well, I'm 20and I just was recently introduced to the wonderful world of fanfiction. I'm very canon on my ships....Remus/Tonks, James/Lily, Harry/Ginny, and Ron/Hermione. Love 'em all. Have to say though, Tonks is my favorite character. I wish I was a metamorphomagus....maybe I just like the amazing characterization of her that Kerichi does in the wonderful Lover's Moon series. Go read that if you havent checked it out
My first story is now up! Please read and review Cutting Down His Shadow. I will love you forever if you do!
Alright, people have been a little confused as to who's who in the story. OK so here we go.
Meera Chanduramani: The daughter of Lord Voldemort (deceased in Second Wizarding War) and Dhara Chanduramani.
James Potter: Son of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.
William (Bill) Weasley: Son of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
Daniel (Dan) Thomas: Son of Dean Thomas and Lavender Brown
Emma Thomas: Daughter of Dean Thomas and Lavender Brown, twin sister of Dan.
Eleanor (Ellie) Longbottom: Daughter of Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood
Oedipus (Ed) Malfoy: Son of Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson
Blanche Weasley: Daughter of Bill Weasley (deceased in Second Wizarding War) and Fleur Delacour.
Sirius Weasley: Son of Bill Weasley (deceased in Second Wizarding War) and Fleur Delacour, older brother of Blanche Weasley
Brian Finnigan: Son of Seamus Finnigan and Romilda Vane.
Mallory Finnigan: Daughter of Seamus Finnigan and Romilda Vane, twin sister of Brian.
Katrina Wood: Daughter of Oliver Wood.
Theodore (Teddy) Lupin: Son of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks.
Everybody else is either completely original characters, whose parents were not part of HP canon, or they are characters from canon that we know and love.
As of 3/22/2009
My muse is back! Thank the literature gods. College stress and other factors lead to extreme business for quite some time, and when I got back to the story, my muse decided to go into hibernation. Sad times. But it's awake now and the next chapter is being typed up as I speak. Yay!!!!

Strictly Ballroom by goldenprincess
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Hermione takes a drastic decision to leave the wizarding world behind in favour of her dream of becoming a dancer. Her departure has a drastic effect on Ron's life, and when they are unexpectedly thrown together years later, there's sure to be fireworks once more. Based on the UK TV show 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Date: 07/16/07 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 16
Do they really have the Wild Card couple on Strictly Come Dancing? I've only ever seen Dancing With The Stars (the American version of the show) so I have no idea. But dude, I love this story. One of my favorite ships and one of my absolute favorite TV shows, I mean, how can it get much better?
Author's Response: Alas, they don\'t actually have a Wild Card couple, I just made that up to get Ron and Hermione back in the competition!
Date: 09/25/07 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 19
YAY ALEX ISN'T A JERK!!!!
*squeeee*
I cannot wait to see the final now!!!
Date: 07/20/07 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 17
Wowweeweewow...this is going to be one interesting final, that's for sure! Hehe can't wait!
A Few Detentions and A Story by LaneTechFreshie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James Potter: Marauder. Lily Evans: Prefect. They're both seventh years at Hogwarts. They're also about to have a pretty interesting year--complete with a few detentions, pranks, confusion, and laughter--in which they get through school, make some trouble and maybe, just maybe, sort out their feelings for each other.
Thanks to all you who have made it possible for this story to be in the Top Tens. It was a very happy moment when I first saw my story on the list, and I love being able to go back and see it there now. Still. Yay!
Throughout the latter half of 2010, and the first half of 2011, I re-edited this story. The changes were mostly to fix stray (and annoying) grammar and spelling errors, but also to rework some plot points in an effort to stay truer to canon. I also updated the style; having written this story so long ago, my writing has definitely developed (and I would say gotten better), so I edited to reflect that. (I apologize for the errors that were in the story before all this editing. I found them immensely distressing when I reread my chapters. Heartbreaking, really.)
Big “thank yous” go to the three people who helped edit/nitpick the first edition of this novel: violagirl, fairiesandcream, and Omagus.
And yes, this story is up on Fanficition.net under the penname: Io.Sono.Emilia.
Of course, as a disclaimer, I’m not JK Rowling. The Potterverse does not belong to me, but I am in it and love it.
Date: 05/31/07 Title: Chapter 43: Even More Detentions
This is a really good story! I really enjoy reading it. It has a good balance of silly humor and fluff with dramatic plots.
This chapter was also very entertaining! Yay for Princess Bride!!! And I love that Professor McGonagall used Captain Jack Sparrow's line, albeit edited with pranksters instead of honest men. Very nice. Can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: YAY! You caught that! I\'m glad. :-) And I\'m also glad that you liked it so much. HAPPY!
A Tale of Two Matchmakers by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Romance for three couples when Blaise and Luna use Shakespearean styled matchmaking to hook up Ginny and Draco. There's Much Ado about...something!
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Romance-Non Canon 2007, 2008, and 2009. In 2010 mods changed the rules (they got tired of the same fics being nominated ^_~) so no more QQ hopes, but that's okay. No proof is needed that Draco/Ginny = love.
* Written before the HBP, this tale presents an alternate sixth year in which Dumbledore lives, Draco is more than a foil to Harry, and Blaise Zabini is a girl. I hope readers who ship Draco/Ginny will enjoy the story which includes dancing with faeries, Celtic and Norse mythology, school holidays in London and Spain, and loads of fantasy and romance. "Is this a kissing book?" (to quote the Princess Bride) Yes, it is. *
(Warnings were added for safety, due to brief allusions in later chapters, not graphic content.)
Date: 03/15/07 Title: Chapter 45: Something Wicked This Way Comes
I just spent the last two hours reading this instead of doing my homework. Ah, senioritis, how I love you.
MOVING ON. Usually Draco/Ginny fics make me want to throw up in my mouth a little because I'm a hardXcore Harry/Ginny fan. This one, I actually found myself disliking the Trio - especially Harry - and then I realized, wait! I can't dislike the Trio! Hahaha.
This story, like all your others, is extremely well written and actually presents a valid argument of them getting together. Not to mention the references to Shakespeare, the Princess Bride, Peter Pan, and Tarzan are so well used!
What I love best about this story is the fact that Luna is not so Loony. You made her into a real character and brought her out to play an important role.
I will say this - Draco better kill his dad if Lucius tries to get within a 5 foot radius of GInny.
Definitely will keep my eye on this story! Can't wait for more :D
Author's Response: Whoo Hoo! Senioritis rocks! :D
It\'s all point of view, isn\'t it? Seen through Draco and Ginny\'s eyes, the trio hasn\'t had many shining moments, although I hope they\'ve shown they\'re good at heart, just prejudiced and suspicious (not without good reason!)
Lucius won\'t die at the end of this story, but I think you\'ll like what does happen. :)
Harry Potter and the Magical Myths by nuw255
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: A man from Interpol comes to question Harry Potter as part of a murder investigation. How will Harry react? And how will this affect his search for Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes? Plus, the question we all want answered: What will happen with Ginny?
This story picks up immediately after HBP, and is very slightly AU. But hey, aren’t they all?
Date: 01/31/07 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Pierre
wait WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Pierre??? Harry??? Ginny??? I'm so freaking confused!!!!!
MODS, FOR THE SANITY OF THE READERS, PLEASE VALIDATE THIS SOON!!!
p.s. I haven't left any reviews yet, but this story is awesome!!! Jarius is one of the best OCs I've seen.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! All I can say is that you\'ll understand the whole Pierre business in this chapter -- I\'m not THAT mean. ;-)
Thank you for leaving a review; they always brighten my day!
Date: 03/05/07 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Dumbledore and Slughorn
"He took a long sqig of what was probably Firewhiskey"
I GET HIS BEHAVIOR NOW! IT'S NOT FIREWHISKEY, IT'S POLYJUICE! AND THAT'S SNAPE, NOT ABERFORTH! HA!
ok so maybe I'm digging too far into things and thinking too hard! But that would make sense...the disposition is almost exactly the same, and he would be able to make Polyjuice, seeing as he is a potions master.
anyways, wonderful update as usual! this was definitely worth the wait from the false alarm to the real update, and I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: *grin* Sorry to disappoint you, but it was really Firewhisky. Plus, although Aberforth is a rather bitter old man most of the time, his attitude for the goat story was just too un-Snape-like for it to be Snape in disguise. Anyway, I\'m very glad that you enjoyed the chapter. The next one is already in the queue. :-)

Author's Response: Double! ;-)
Date: 02/11/07 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Halloween
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
omg
best chapter yet! I absolutely LOVED it!
Ron as Lockhart was DEFINITELY priceless...
and so was the fact that Harry implanted the false memory of Hermione and Ron! OMG I was crying because I was laughing so hard when I read that part!
but YAY! They're married!!! :D :D :D
Author's Response: Glad you\'re happy! And I\'m glad you enjoyed the humor. :-)
Date: 05/19/07 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31: A Day Off
YAY! One more Horcrux down! I loved the part in this story where Ginny started screaming "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME ANYMORE TOM!" It shows just how strong that young wife of Harry's is! Amazing chapter as always!
And by the way, congratulations on the new baby!
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m glad you liked the chapter. I\'m holding the baby as I type this. :-)
Date: 03/25/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Interpol
Ok phew, I finally remembered to leave a review after re-reading this story for the...oh god, who knows what time this is, haha. I keep on meaning to write one and then my internet crashes or I have to do homework or something.
ANYWAYS, I love how this story is progressing! It was nice to see Neville totally confident in the duelling and I love the incorporation of the shower, hehehe. I must say, I have heard the whole "Harry-is-a-Horcrux" theory many times now, but I haven't believed it for the exact same reasons that Ginny listed! Weird, huh? Well, wonderful job! I'm looking forward to reading about the raid soon...
Author's Response: Thank you very much! It\'s been fun writing this story, and I plan to just keep plugging along. I have also heard the \'Harry-is-a-Horcrux\' theory loads of times, and I\'ve seen it used quite effectively and creatively in fanfiction. I will say this, though: I have never seen a fanfic that mentioned that particular theory where Harry ended up NOT being a Horcrux. Now, is that a hint? Of course it is. But what does the hint MEAN? ;-)
Date: 04/11/07 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Return of the White Wizard
Haha, I thought you were gonna pull a Polyjuiced "Dumbledore" on us. But Tonks was even better! I loved it, and I loved Snape's demise at Jarius's hands. Jarius definitely needs that closure. And YAY MRS. WEASLEY! That cutting curse was intense!
Oh no! Bill?!?!?! I hate cliffies...
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked it! Bill... well, you\'ll hear about Bill soon.
Date: 02/01/07 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Pierre
anddddd that was DEFINITELY awesome! I loved the chapter! i was laughing for most of it, because Ron and Hermione are so close, yet so far from the truth!!!
please please PLEASE bring back Pierre in future chapters. I loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I rewrote this chapter so many times trying to get it right, so I\'m really glad you liked it. I know Pierre will be mentioned in future chapters, but I\'m not sure if I\'ll be able to work out a way to bring him back or not. Actually, I take that back. I am planning to bring him back near the end of the story, but I\'ll see if it fits to bring him back before then. :-)
Date: 03/01/07 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Dumbledore and Slughorn
Ok, I got an email saying this story was updated so I was all happy! and then I clicked the link and it said the chapter wasn't validated. Which made me sad. Wahhh.
Author's Response: I hate it when that happens. Fortunately, they got it fixed really quickly this time, and it\'s up now! Yay!
Date: 02/22/07 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23: A Honeymoon and a Horcrux
HAHAHAHAHAA Harry's reaction at the beginning of the chapter was hilarous!!!! I loved it!!!
And that's funny that you called her Virginia since apparently, everyone for the longest time thought that was Ginny's name.
And eek, the horcrux destruction stuff was scary! You're not gonna have Ron or Hermione die, are you? I think I would burst into tears and stop reading the story if you did...
Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked Harry\'s reaction at the beginning. Thankfully, that was NOT something out of my own real life. ;-)
I\'m glad the Horcrux destruction was scary -- it\'s supposed to be! But I\'m not telling you if Ron or Hermione is going to die. Although I\'d really hate to make you cry and stop reading, so... ;-)
The Dark Lord's Blog by Schmerg_The_Impaler
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time? Well, that's an excellent question. Who would have known that the Dark Lord has a blog? (He also has a loyal following of readers, most of whom are Death Eaters and who post their comments.) Voldemort dispenses advice on everything from murder methods to germ protection to Power Rangers to shoes, and gives an account of the life of an evil overlord. But is he posting too much personal information online? And will Harry read it and find out more about the Dark Lord than Voldemort ever intended? Read and see.
WARNING: Extremely OOC behaviour from almost all.
RUNNER-UP in the 2007 Quicksilver Quills Awards for Best Humour fic! Also nominated like 21 times, because apparently my readers are as insane as I am!
Date: 02/28/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Don't Try This At Home
omg
just...omg
I found this story while I was at school and I'm supposed to be doing work, but I'm not...but anyways THIS IS FREAKING AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS! I LOVE IT! Although I def can't see Bella being a secret OotP member, it was really original and made me crack up hysterically. My teacher is giving me a weird look because I'm sure he knows I'm not working like I'm supposed to now, but oh well, this story is much better than looking up articles any day!
Can't wait for a sequel!!!
Author's Response: I\'m in school right now, too! I\'m so glad you like this story... I love getting new readers on this story!
Moonlight and Shadow by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Tonks' world has fallen into shadow. Voldemort has returned, the Order of the Phoenix has risen, and Sirius is slowly drowning in memories and Firewhisky. Tonks needs more than determination to fight the darkness. She needs Remus.
Date: 03/12/07 Title: Chapter 19: Dark Shadow
Sadd! I liked Jerry and Meg! Please give Jerry a girlfriend soon, he's so cute! I'll be his next girlfriend!!!! :D and I won't dump him for being a wizard either!
Oh no! Remus is going all protective on Tonks again! When is he going to figure out that Tonks loves him too much and won't leave him on full moons for anything?
Author's Response: Jerry is Mr. Unlucky when it comes to women. He\'ll find love one day, but like Aragorn said in Return of the King, \'This is not that day!\' :D
Remus will learn a valuable lesson this week!
Date: 06/09/07 Title: Chapter 31: Realms of Shadow
Wow. That was an emotional rollercoaster ride. But it was a perfect blend of anger, sadness, laughter, tears, and happiness. I absolutely loved it. Perfect ending for a great story!
I'm really looking forward to the HBP story. Especially because it'll be a lot different in that we see both Tonks and Remus's POVs. Can't wait till July!
Author's Response: Thank you! When I wrote Three for the Road, I had both Tonks and Remus\' third person pov, and thought then that it would be great to have both their povs, but OotP wasn\'t the time for it. HBP is perfect, though, so I hope you love the dual protagonist, single romance storyline as much as I do! :)
Date: 05/18/07 Title: Chapter 28: Approaching Shadow
HAHAHAHAHA! Tonks the granny just makes me laugh a lottttt...
And that Valentine's Day is so sweet!!!! I love Valentine's Day, it's my favorite holiday. Of course, it's also my birthday. So happy birthday to me in the world of your story! hehehe. ANYWAYS...I loved this installment, as per usual. Can't wait for more!!!!
Author's Response: Aw, you\'re a valentine present for your parents! ^_^ Easy for friends and boyfriend to remember your birthday, too! I hope you get presents and not just cards and candy. :)
Date: 01/26/07 Title: Chapter 14: Out of Shadow
Can I just tell you, it made me really happy that Lakshmi was incorporated into this?!?!?! (I'm Hindu, lol)
I LOVE how she got him back. Nothing like reliving a first date! Wonderful!
And the "dear snarky snape" made me laugh quite hard. I'm at school right now and I have a free period and the computer lab person looked at me very strangely when I started giggling. =)
Author's Response: Thank you!
You don\'t have a friend named Lakshmi that you pretend to bow to with your wallet extended, do you? I know someone who\'s done that, LOL.
This date didn\'t end as \'innocently\' as the first date, but Tonks was in Remus\' arms again...and I bet she prefers it this way! :D
