I love Harry Potter fan fiction, because it allows my imagination to run free!
I probably could be doing something more productive, but since I love to read and write, and hope to be an author one day, this doesn't seem like a whole waste of time!!!!
I love this site so much. It really let's me challenge my mind and see things in a whole new light.
Go fan fiction!!!!!
EDIT: I am a poetry nut! So watch out for all my poetry and you can even check some of my poetry out on Poetry Anyone? in the Beta Forums, if you are able to get an account. :) Also watch out if you write poetry, too! I am sure to review it, and possibly leave behind a critique!
The Weaver by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: A short poem about a love that did not ring true.
Oh I laughed alright!
Nice tale! :) They should tell it to little children like Ron Weasley. :)
Author's Response: Thank youuuuu! But I'm not sure about telling this one to little kids - it's supposed to be a bit bawdy, lol. Thanks for all the reviews! ~Gina :)
The Daydream Pedlar's Song by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: 
A Pedlar of Potions is the most welcome of salesmen as Valentine's Day approaches.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling.
Thank you to Julia for running wonderful challenges in Poetry Anyone over at the MNFF beta boards.
Hearts and love, huh? :)
Ah, to be able to escape with a love potion... You totally sold me on it! I'd like to place an order for a whole cauldronful of hot strong love potion... :D
Author's Response: Not so much love but fantasy and reverie I suspect. Thanks for the review ~Carole~
Not Even Him by AidaLuthien
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Helena Ravenclaw spent centuries keeping the secret of her mother's diadem from everyone.
So what made Tom Riddle different?
This is AidaLuthien writing for the Great Hall Cotillion Challenge.
Crafty, crafty Riddle. Man, I would have fallen for his lies, just as Helena did! How does he do it?
You captured Tom perfectly! How I sometimes wish I was a character in this story that knew Tom...
The Crush by Ginny Weasley Potter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Not all of us experience true love, but crushes are an inevitable part of life. Unfortunately, crushes are often mistaken for love. But really, how different is actual love from plain infatuation?
This is Ginny Weasley Potter of Hufflepuff house, writing for the Great Hall Cotillion. The pairing I’ve written about is Seamus/Lavender.
I love this song!!!!!!!!! And what a beautiful story! I have something similar in my own life, so I really connected to this story. But, I think the death scene was, while tragic, something exquisite and extemely well-written and it actually made sense for her to die and pass on.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Crushes are fun. Or at least they used to be. :p I'm so glad you liked the story. :) Thank you for the review!!!
Making It a Fair Fight by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Rap along with Regulus Black in his final hours as he tells the Dark Lord how it is - to the tune of Cleaning Out My Closet by Eminem.
Spoilt produce.... What a nice phrase! Anyways, I bet this was fun to write! Although I can't imagine Regulus rapping to Voldemort, I think you really captured the essence of the youngest Black. He obviously saw the errors of his ways, quite like Percy (funny how similar they are) and I find it sad that Sirius didn't get the chance to know what his brother had found out. I still can't believe that Regulus actually did what he did when getting the horcrux.
Overall, this was a humorous tribute to the unsung hero ( although he did make it a little hard for Harry by hiding the horcrux himself)
Author's Response:
Actually, this was damned hard to write. The content itself was simple, but fitting it with the rhythm of the original song was a bear. It wasn't meant to be profound, really, but kind of a modern-ish spin on the subject. And just for funsies. :)
I always felt bad about Regulus. He gave up everything when he was so young and lost what he had left before he even had a chance to live his life. It was truly unfair.
At any rate, thanks for reading and finding such a randomly random piece on my author page. <3

Two Negatives by hestiajones
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary:
Hmm... I'm not sure I followed this one as well as your other stories, but perhaps it's because I think the characters needed some more explanation. Not a whole lot more, but I don't know why Millicent killed her mother. Perhaps this would be a good story to reread and add things here and there.
Other than that, I'll agree it was a strange pairing. But it works.
Author's Response: First of all, thank you for the crit! Why did Millicent kill her mother? I think that there is a need in her to exorcise her personal demons - the abusive mother, hateful Pansy - and because she is deeply in touch with her physical strength, that exorcism had to come through using that strength. I've tried not to elaborate too much on the characters, because I wanted to use snippets from their life to hint at how they were developing/had developed as the people they were at the point they met. I'll definitely reread this and see what else I could have added to make it more apparent. Thanks! <333
The Final Walk by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: The Snitch is open; the Ring is out.

The Folds of Life by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: "To the well organised mind, death is but the next great adventure."
This is hestiajones' ninth submission for the GH Cotillion Challenge. I am not J.K.Rowling.What a unique writing style this story had. I really liked how you started it- it left me wanting to find out what was going on! This is a very nice story tht really captures that no matter how long life is, the next great adventure is awaiting us. :)
Another great story. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Yes! Optimism is the way to go :) Thank you for reading and blessing my May with so much loveliness.
If Only You Knew by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Their greatest gain was the existence of hope; their biggest loss was the pain of ignorance.
This is hestiajones ... yeah. Her millionth entry for the GH Cotillion Challenge. Thanks, Kara, for the pairing! And I'm not J.K.Rowling.I believe I've read this before, but I didn't leave a review, so here it is: Augh!!!!!! A short chapter that has left me hanging! Poor Eileen... Seriously, why did she marry Tobias? Plus, and this is nothing against you, I've always wondered why the name was Tobias Snape... It doesn't sound very Mugglish to me. Eileen Prince actually sounds more like a Muggle name. Isn't that weird?
At any rate, please continue this story! I want to see where it goes!
Author's Response: EEP! I had actually forgotten how I planned to continue this story, but your Tobias comment has set off a chain of thoughts. -ponders-
George, Please Sit Down. by welshdevondragon
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary:
What happened to George?!?!?!?!?!?! Man, I didn't realize that losing his brother could make him so dejected and detached from life! Poor George. :( He needs someone, like his daughter, to really understand him and help him out.
Nice characterization. It's too bad that people actually go through these kinds of things.
The Lady Doth Protest Too Much by Acacia Carter
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Really, must I endure the nauseating burden of owing the tinned twit a favour?
- - -
Written, hurriedly and frantically, for the Inaugural Great Hall Cotillion by Acacia Carter of Hufflepuff.
- - -
As always, the Harry Potter world and everything in it is property of JKR.
I like stories with minor characters, and I really loved this story! The Fat Lady was really well done and Sir Cadogan was overly annoying. Great job! :D
In the Deeps by minnabird
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: Buried beneath the floors of the Ministry lies the Department of Mysteries, engaged in its 'unspeakable' activities.
One man discovers the truth of this descriptor, to his horror.
This poem was inspired by the song 'Severus and Lily' from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II soundtrack.
Nominated for Best Poem in the 2012 Quicksilver Quill Awards
You have a great abstract style! And what a gift with words! Great job.
Author's Response: Thank you. :)

Goodness! You captured the emotion so well, I felt like crying with Angelina! Nice job!

And Death Did Come by phoenix_song197
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Three brothers sought to escape death. But Death did come. One way or another, Death always comes.
Nice! What a great tribute to the Tale of the Three Brothers. :) I especially liked the repeating refrain and how it changed at the very end. :)
Summary: In dark times, what makes Harry carry on when things seem inevitable? A poem from Harry‘s POV.
Is this about the famous trio?
I found this very exquisite! What a poem! Your first time? It doesn't seem like it!
Author's Response: Yes it is. Specifically about how I think Ron and Hermione are Harry's greatest strength.
You flatter me, but this is really my first poem! Thank you for your review :)

Written for the lovely Gmariam/Gina whose J/L fics make my knees go weak :)I knew it was a dream! I've nothing else really to say... Poor Snape...
Author's Response: LOL.
48 Hours of Power by Snidgetgirl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 14]
Summary: Lily Evans unknowingly purchases a not so normal quill. She has no idea what it does until it's too late! Watch as Lily creates a world of her own. Crazy students, hilarious situations and Professors in their underwear! Read on as the craziness continues!
Over 2000 reads!! Wohoo! Thanks everyone! (Pictures the little aliens from Pizza Planet in Toy Story) I am eternally grateful! :) I love all of your lovely reviews!
How could I have read this and not left a review???? Augh! I really loved this story, and I like how James got back at Lily for her joke. :D this was a story that definitely lightened my day when I read it, and I'm sure it will continue to do so for everyone else!
Author's Response: Hehehe! You literally just made an awful day of studying until my brain melted good! I'm really glad you liked it! Oh! And when I reviewed your story with the postscript, I actually meant your actual name ( my name is Cailee too... I just spell it really weird. Oh parents...) But really, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I think I may be addicted to exclamation marks...
Fragments by BrokenPromise
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary:
She was the first to accept me for who I was, Muggle father and all. The teachers didn’t count. Dumbledore accepted me out of duty; Slughorn accepted me for his own personal gain. She accepted me out of love.
Would you have been any different if you had had your world ripped apart and your heart shattered until there was nothing left to love with?
This is a story about a boy and a decision that he regretted. A decision he had made a few times before. Tom Riddle made the decision to say so many times those words that would eventually be his downfall.
How interesting. I liked the thought process of this story, although it is a little hard to believe that the two students were never found again- where exactly in the Room of Requirement did he put them? Surely Draco or Harry would have found them later, seeing as they had been in the place of Hidden Things. Though, when I think in it, their bodies won't be found because of the cursed fire that was set by Crabbe in the room... How sad... :( but, this story was still well written!!:)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Tom, I assume, hid the bodies reasonably deep in the Room of Hidden Things, and it seems like a pretty big place, so I think if he hid them in a cupboard or under a pile of stuff they would probably not be found again.
It is rather sad that their bodies will never be found, but sadness is real and it is inevitable.
Summary: A loose sonnet about two people coming together at Hogwarts one night.
And no, they are not James Potter and Lily Evans. Shocking, I know.
Written for Carole/EquinoxChick because she's so awe…inspiring. Happy Birthday, my dear!
What a great sonnet! I don't know who I would choose.... But I enjoyed it still the same!
Author's Response: Thank you again for reading my poems! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review! ~Gina :)
