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!
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 :)
She Came in the Rain by hestiajones
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 12]
Summary: Things were never what they seemed to be.
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 :)
All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter by ljmckay
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: An eleven-year-old boy residing at Number 4, Privet Drive, receives his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1991. That boy is Dudley Dursley.
How can you be done with this????? Augh, I want more now!!!!!!!! Uncle Sev? And Harry not a wizard? I need this explained more!!!!! Another chapter would be great! And does Voldemort exist in this realm? What will happen next?
You have left me hungry for more, and only you can satisfy this...
Author's Response: Thanks so much! It's really encouraging to hear that you enjoyed it. :)
I am currently working on a sequel/second chapter, but it's a bit stalled right now...We'll see what happens, but I do want to continue this story!!
Swear it to the Night by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary:
As Ron arrived at Shell Cottage, he soon came to realise that the things that drove him away were not nearly as important as that which made him want to go back.
I dare to review! And I found this so touching! I loved the imagery in the first stanza, last line: velvet, fiery plume! Beautiful job!!!!!!
The Execution of Amelia Bones by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: That night, he came to end her trial.
Disclaimer: I am not J.K.Rowling.The way you've written this suggests a silent duel- silent but violent. It was beautiful. I especially like the last line, because it suggests that Voldemort is so arrogant as to think he is the judge of everyone, but we know he is not. Her case may be closed in his eyes, but I believe her case will continue on in the hereafter ( if you would like to believe in an afterlife).
Author's Response: Voldemort is a prick, and he would love murdering powerful wizards and witches personally. UGH. Yes, her case will continue, although I doubt Voldemort will get anywhere near hell or heaven lol.
A Lunar Chart by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: Remus Lupin as rendered in terms of a meagre lunar chart.
Written for The Sharp Challenge at Poetry Anyone (?).I'm thinking, isn't that enough? I'm also thinking, "The review box says hello?" I don't hear it saying that... :)
Anyways, I'm not going to write a long review because I want to read your other work! YOU are an awesome author, and I want to get through every story and poem before the month ends. It probably won't happen- you have so much!!!!!! Just keep it flowing, though, so my sick days can be filled with your imaginative words. :) :) :)
Author's Response: OMG. I don't know what to say, except that I am really excited and happy and honoured by your trail of reviews! It means so much to me, that somebody should be willing to want to read more without stopping. THANK YOU for taking the time to review. It's always easier just to walk away, so it means a lot to me that you chose to stay for a few seconds and leave these encouraging words! ~Natalie
The Runaway Kite by Padfoot11333
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary:
Who is Petunia Dursley?
This was my favourite of the entries that I submitted to The Sharp Challenge in Poetry, Anyone? on the beta boards.
Nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill.
I absolutely adored your punctuation, especially at the end. And it is nice to know that Petunia doesn't always want to be uptight... :) Nice job!
Author's Response:
Sorry it took so long to respond. I'm not sure what you mean by adoring my punctuation, though, lol!
Thanks for the review.

Survivor's Hymn by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: After the last spell flashes and the day is won, hope can be found in the subtlest ticking of the clock, the softest note, the tiniest slant of light.
Thus ended the Battle of Hogwarts and began for those left to carry on.
This poem has been nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Poetry.
This poem is very ambiguous, and I can see it working as original work! Perhaps adding a more recognizable Harry Potter element? Although, I find it beautiful just the way it is. :) Nice job.
Askew by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Some people's lives are always ordered, but some people's lives are always askew.
A poem about a Potterverse character written for the Sharp Challenge.
Tasty caramel or hard to chew caramel?
I love the metaphor, and how it perfectly describes his personality and appearance! Teehee! I really found myself liking the structure, too! I do not have the guts to do so, but way to go! It totally worked. :)
Author's Response: Thank you!!! I really should mention here that Natalie was a huge inspiration here for showing a different way to write these metaphor poems. I seldom write Harry (or the other members of the Trio) so it was great to get my teeth into somehing solely about him. You really should have a go at this form. It's a lot of fun (believe me I'm terrified whenever Julia posts a challenge) Thanks again ~Carole~
The Rain Keeps Falling by armagod679
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Summer. Sunshine. A hero. And gone. And she cries the rain. Nominated for the 2012 QSQ Awards.
Oh, so sad! I loved the rhythm this poem had! Very beautiful job. :) Keep it up!
Author's Response: Thank you.
2 Trees by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary:
My favorite line was that both were baptized by the Phoenix feathers. It makes the wands take on a life of their own, which we know is not impossible since the wand chooses the wizard. Plus, being baptized refers to being cleansed of sin, and since Phoenix tears have healing powers, it works, then, that the wood would be baptized. And then it becomes a battle between good and evil... The yew wand took on countless sins while the holly wand continued to be "baptized" because it strove for what was good. So, what I'm trying to say is that your diction was flawless in this piece, and served to be quite powerful.
Author's Response: THANK YOU! I'm so pleased you commented on this :)
A Crimson Streak by foreverandalways14
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: A free-versed poem dedicated to the Final Battle that took place within Hogwarts.
Wow! I loved it. Sad that I'm the only reviewer!
I love your vision of what happened after the battle. It feels sad, but hopeful. Nice job!
Ancora Perfetto Imperfetto by Padfoot11333
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary:
Cedric Diggory is far from perfect.
This poem received third place in The Sharp Challenge over on the Mugglenet Fanfiction Beta Boards.
Nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award.
Wow! I really enjoyed it.
Was the capitalization like this done on purpose? And what for? It kind of made me feel like Cedric wasn't perfect in that regard.
Poor Cedric... Hope he is happy wherever he may be.
Author's Response: Taaaa--I'm glad you liked it. The capitalisation was done on purpose, but mostly because I like poems written that way and really had nothing to do with Cedric, hehe. Cedric is one of my favourite characters, actually, and I feel like he doesn't get enough love. (Like this poem...hehehe)
Thanks for the review. Lily :)
Sirius Black by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary:
How sad and yet hopeful at the same time. You really captured Sirius in these few words. I especially like that he was "the wind caught in flying curtains." How sad that he fell through that veil, his laughter still etched on his handsome face!!!!!!
I've donated more than a few words. I think I should get some special prize for this. ;) *chuckles* Keep up the writing. Maybe you will reach a hundred stories soon!
Author's Response: YOU ARE AMAZING AND DESERVE ALL THE PRIZES ON EARTH! I WOULD KISS YOUR HANDS if we didn't live miles apart, which I am assuming we do :D
Trinket by Envy_I_May_Be
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Fleur Delacour is but a trinket; but can't she be something more?
My entry for the Sharp Challenge at Poetry Anyone over in the forums
Whoa! Poor Fleur... I think she is more than a pretty face to Bill, at least. But tht is exactly what Ron saw, and Roger Davies, and all the others... How disgusting, isn't it? But your poem was just the opposite! It wasn't just a pretty face!
Author's Response: That's the exact elemt I was trying to capture; while her beauty is something for her to be proud of, it is also a bit of a moot point for her, because like you said, all Ron and Rogerever saw was that pretty face; little did they know, there is so much more to her. She's a very dynamic character, I think, and I just really wanted to capture that.
Today Will Be Better, I Swear! by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: 'I'm going to miss you, Mr Ollivander,' said Luna, approaching the old man.
'And I you, my dear,' said Ollivander, patting her on the shoulder. 'You were an inexpressible comfort to me in that terrible place.'*Oh Luna. I love her strange optimistic views, and I could only help but think that she was able to pull Dean and Ollivander and even Griphook through the tough times down in that awful cellar. A really nice poem. The way that so few words can always capture emotion is a magic within itself. ;)
Author's Response: I love Luna. And I love you!
All The Way Down by Envy_I_May_Be
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: A night of knowing, followed by a morning of quiet reflection and content.
My first James/Lily piece, and an entry for The Random Song Title Challenge over in Poetry Anyone. :)
I shall feed the box!
And then, the couple dies... *mournful, scary music plays* Sometimes, I find myself thinking life is too short, and this proves it. But it also proves that there are beautiful things in life. Thank you for your words! ;)
Author's Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
