Hi!
I really wanted to put my story banner up here, it's really amazing, but I couldn't figure out how, so until I do, I just have to wait to put it here I suppose.. it's in my siggy on the forums though.
On hold:
I've decided to put my chaptered fic, Forbidden Forest? Who Said Forbidden? on hold, seeing that it's been extremely long since the last update and the chapters are few and far between. Real life is taking practically all my time now, so I doubt I would've finished the seventh chapter anyway, even though I've written like half of it. I'm extremely sad that I'm putting this on hold, since it was my first fic and I actually liked writing the plot and the characters. I may continue writing it someday, which is why I'm only putting it on hold, but if I haven't written anything on it in six months, I probably won't continue writing it. I will, however, still write one-shots.
Coming:
I'm currently writing a one-shot L/J, in which a very peculiar race takes place, Sirius decides to combine the best with the best, and Lily decides there may be a better way than yelling at James to show him that he's not the almighty god he thinks he is. The speed is going to pick up in this story, so stay tuned!!
so for now, that's all I have to say..
adieu!
this is Rikku, signing off!

Understanding the One Thing You Can't by Arianna
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: No one understands how I feel. How could they? They hadn't known James for as long as I have, and they hadn't had him taken away from them by the redhead.
Date: 04/23/07 Title: Chapter 1: Understanding the One Thing You Can't
lol very unexpected ending. I too thought all through the story that it was a person; about halfway through I was really irritated at this fic, cause this person was really abnormal.. then I figured the person must be mentally ill or something.. but it all makes sense now! lol... very original..

Great story, and good chapter! But if they were transfiguring vinegar to wine, shouldn't that be in McGonagalls class then and not in charms?? Just a thought.. Otherwise great work!
Author's Response: Thanks! As for the vinegar to wine question, in HBP, this spell was practiced in Charms class. The next chapter will be up soon.

She could've made your other wand invisible!
It's great! I cant wait for the next chapter!

ooooohhh, I was very curious as to how you would give a reason to Hermione's madness, but I think this is a good reason. I couldn't come up with very good ones myself. THIS IS SO FUNNY!! LMAO!!
Thrice Defied by leighpotter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: So, it’s James and Lily’s last year at Hogwarts.
All the year ahead of them full of spells, arguments, Quidditch, arguments, detention, arguments...But, this time, something is different. James Potter is more determined than ever to win Lily Evans’s heart and she seems to be considering.
Maybe, just maybe, a year of rule-breaking, rule-following and fighting for their lives will liven up the romance at Hogwarts...
A story that’s centred on the (inevitable!) romance of Lily and James but also one that goes into the darker sides of that last seventh year. Prepare yourselves for a little R.A.B. , a few Horcuxes, a dash of lovesick Severus and more than a few brilliant moments between the fights, the laughs, the fluff and the danger!
Warnings for extra funny Sirius and Remus moments (that include a love-potion gone wrong and marriage proposals due to drink) , alarming giggling spells from a character who bears more than a resemblance to our own Loony Lovegood, Quidditch talk from a fun Alice Vance, evil Bellatrix and Narcissa, and Lily and James in the middle of it, falling in love without knowing...
AU warning (not for some horrifying reason as you may assume – like Lily dying or Remus turning into a chicken – but because two of the characters – namely Lucius and Bella – are in Lily and James’ seventh year as well when we know from canon that they're older! Just a minor difference but then I really needed some nastiness in the story!)

Author's Response: thanks for the review- I love it when you guys compliment my writing skills!
Just for that i\'ll update as soon as i can!!!

Date: 08/13/07 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 16: Larson, Love, and Lemons
I love this story, please update soon! And yeah, I did miss some of the memories in this chapter.. The memories makes this story so different from others, and they give it some seriousness. Plz update soon!
Author's Response: The memories do make it stand out, you\'re right. Thanks for the review; an update is almost ready!
Date: 06/19/07 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 13: What a Tangled Web We Weave
noooooo!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! THAT IS TOO BIG A CLIFFHANGER!!
Okay, now I've gotten my frustrations out, let me just say that this was a GREAT chapter. I love chapters about the kidnapping.. And I can't wait for the next chapter! Please update soon!
Author's Response: I think the kidnapping flashbacks make the story different, so I really love them too. And this chapter had more about the kidnapping outside the flashbacks! Thanks for the review, and I\'ll try and update really quickly!
Date: 06/14/07 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Cats, Cards, and Corkers
Oooh, loved this chapter... James isn't really cheating on her is he? I could imagine Andy drinking polyjuice potion and turn into James and make Lily see that kiss on purpose or something like that, but I couldn't imagine James cheating on her... can't wait for the next chapter! And I can't wait to hear more about the kidnapping...
Author's Response: There is a lot more about the kidnapping in the next chapter in fact, and the answer to your earlier questions . . . Thanks for the review!
Date: 06/25/07 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 14: Put on Your Poker Face
WHAT?? YOU ANNOYING PIECE OF EXCELLENT WRITER!! HOW CAN YOU JUST LEAVE US WITH THAT? YOU'D BETTER HAVE A REAL FAST UPDATE MISSY...
Phew, needed that. Really, lately I need that with all of your latest chapters. What is with you and cliff-hangers? Obviously I can't wait for the next chapter, so they do have the effect they are supposed to have I guess..
Excellent chapter, as always! I do hope we get the explanation to why James acted the way he did in the next chapter.. You really can't put it off any longer, that is just mean if you do that!!
In conclusion, great chapter, update soon, and can I ask how many chapters this story is going to have?
Author's Response: Haha, I\'m sorry!! Cliffhangers are terrible, and I never stop using them! They just make the story exciting, what can I say? :) I\'ll try and update quickly, and never fear, you will finally get an explanation in the next chapter! As for how many chapters the story is going to be as a whole -- I really don\'t know. I want it to span their whole seventh year, and right now they\'re closing in on Christmas break. Does that help at all? There is still a lot of time left to cover, although the months of March/April (in the story) will probably be covered pretty fast.
Date: 10/08/08 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 24: And The World Spins Madly On
AHA! I knew there was something off with Ted, I was wondering if they wouldn't want the Final Five to be Death Eaters or something.. Please update soon! great chapter!
Author's Response: It would make sense, wouldn't it? You'll find out more in the next chapter (which will hopefully come soon!) Thanks for the review.

*Quote from The Epilogue*
Suddenly Harry was kissing her as if he couldn’t resist the temptation. There was a kind of frenzy to the kiss at first, a kind of desperate need, but it melted into something soft and sweet and gentle, a promise of a future when kisses would never be limited. When they broke apart he rested his forehead on hers, sprinkling a few affectionate butterfly kisses across her face. “I love you,” he murmured.

For a minute there, I actually thought you had killed Ron.. phew.. so relieved.. and I sorta wondered when you would bring that portkey up.. I had been thinking that it was the ideal way to find Harry.. and now they get Ron out too if they make a great plan.. or something.. great work, as always!
Author's Response: I could never have really killed Ron! I thought a few people might have remembered the portkey. Thanks for the review.
Date: 09/26/07 Title: Chapter 13: The Words You Never Want To Hear
You're terrible with cliff-hangers! Update soon! great chapter!
Author's Response: I am, I know! Thanks for the review, and I will try and update quickly.
Date: 07/03/07 Title: Chapter 11: The Schemes We Dream
Great chapter! Really, this story has got some long chapters.. definetely worth the wait!
A little correction:
I noticed that in the beginning of the chapter there's this sentence:
His voice was cold and emotionless, and
Ron suspected if the man he had thought his friend was looking at him, his voice would be as hard and blank as his voice.
In the last part of the sentence I think it should say "his face would be..." or something like that..
A really great chapter! I thought it took a long time for it to be accepted, but at least it is a very long chapter! worth the wait!
I think it would be a good idea to post the timeline in the next chapter.. it is a little confusing how much time has passed..
Author's Response: It did take a long chapter -- but I\'m glad you appreciated the length! I\'ll have to go and fix that typo right now . . . ! Thanks for the review.
Date: 07/03/07 Title: Chapter 11: The Schemes We Dream
By the way, I don't think Ron is dead. I think Albert committed suicide or something like that. Or attacked a death eater. lol
Author's Response: Hmm, interesting theory . . . well, you\'ll see ;)
Date: 02/24/09 Title: Chapter 20: The Way They Were
Great chapter! I'm looking forward to the next update! :D
Author's Response: Thanks! It shouldn't take too long.
The Epic Tale of the Hogwarts Food-fight by Gin_Drinka
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: "Some mistakes are too much fun to make just once."
After Lily Evans, Head Girl of Hogwarts, starts a food-fight with James Potter, Head Boy of Hogwarts, they are both given detention for the rest of the year, and are assigned a 'detention journal', which the staff say will help to settle their 'overwhelming and disturbing differences'. We have come across Lily's journal; her take on why the whole affair ever started, her intriguing relationship with one ‘supreme git of the galaxy’, the extents to which she will go for revenge and where it will lead her...
"And if for some unknown reason you come across this, Potter, and the paragraph above does not manage to penetrate your unusually thick head and convince you of my stupendous dislike of you, I hope the following sentence helps: I HATE YOU!"
Date: 07/04/07 Title: Chapter 8: Seventeenth detention...Potter is the bane of my existence
I like this story.. very good humour.. Oooh, was Terry cheating on her? well, I guess I'll have to wait to find out about that.. update soon!
Author's Response: Yes, you\'ll have to wait. Until next chapter. I promise it will include what terry is up to. Thanks for the review!!
Date: 04/25/07 Title: Chapter 6: Fifteenth Detention...and my first failed attempt at revenge
Really love this story, it is SO FUNNY! I also really like how Lily tends to make matters worse than they are... I seriously thought McGonagall had caught her in some prank she had tried to pull, but it turned out it wasn't that bad.. heh.. so keep up the good work, and hope you update soon!
Though I did, with difficulty, hear him mutter to his best friend, “So, were you dreaming of Evans last night?”
Potter glowered at him and looked away, still slightly red in the face.
Love that part! I laughed so much my face was all red.. *giggles*..
Author's Response: Hee, I like that part too. Yes, Lily is a dramatic...I just love her that way.
