I am a major book worm. I have delved into the pages of so many books. So far my running favorites (behind Harry Potter series [which is #1 forever!]) are 'The DaVinci Code', 'Angels and Demons', the 'Artemis Fowl' series, 'Faerie Wars', 'Goddess of Yesterday', 'The Joy Luck Club' (and other books by Amy Tan), the 'Princess Diaries' series, and many others. As could be assumed by this list, I mainly read fantasy, but I like a little romance thrown in the mix once in a while. ;)
I'm going to start putting all the banners I have from the forums here (because the signatures have a stupid character limit).

This quiz was so freaking awesome, I just had to put this one in because it is so siriusly freaking cool! Not exactly the average 'which marauder era person are you' quiz.
You're Sirius Black. You are awesome. You are so
awesome that you took on a werewolf by
yourself once a month for over 6 years. You
are so fucking awesome that you went to
prison for your best mate. You are amazingly
hot and sexy and wonderful. Everyone wants to
be you. In fact, in 1975 a small child died in
his attempts to become you using polyjuice
potion. But we don't speak of this. In
Brazil, the indigenous tribes worship you as
a God due to you silky shiny hair.
Which Marauders Era Character are you?

Semi Charmed Life by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 333]
Summary:
Within the Marauder band of Merry Men, Sirius is the dashing Will Scarlet. Seventh year, his goal is not to rob the rich, but to help poor Robin woo Maid Lily, avoid sermons from Friar Moony, aid a rat in need, and win the love of a fair lady.
Nominated for a Quicksilver Quill for Best Romance- Non Canon.
*Chapter 30 is 'To Be Loved'*
Confusing Filch must've been so fun. His dad's his own grandfather, that's priceless. I can only imagine the look on Filch's face. Rosie's been taking walks down towards Hogwarts hoping my favorite Marauder will be skiving off his lessons. Padfoot's going to trot down to the Three Broomsticks, probably for something more than food, lol. And Lily decided to join this chapter, how nice of her to join in!
Author's Response: Lily is definitely going to become an important part of James\' life, but she and Sirius won\'t be friends until each works out some of the misconceptions they have about each other. Fun for us! :D
Warmth in a Lover's Arms by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary:
A poem about the kinds of warmth Sirius experiences in Azkaban, in hiding, and in his lover Cami's arms. Inspired by my RLNT fics and the one-shot A Moment Like This.
That was beautiful! I loved it!
Author's Response: I\'m so happy you\'re reading my poems! Thanks! ^_^

When's chapter 2 coming out? I really like this story. Please don't tell me it's on some sort of hiatus!
Author's Response: Haha don\'t worry. It\'s coming...we just need to do some super duper editing. It SHOULD be up in about 2 weeks. Hopefully. But we\'ll get it up if its the last thing we do.
~~Kimmi and Jessie
That was a good chapter. I really like your story and your main character (my name is Jessica too *winkwink*). Can't wait for the next chapter!
A Rat's Tale by Draco_n_Lily
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 7]

A one-shot by lily_writes and Dracoslovebunny.
OMG, this is such a great story. Aw, who am I kidding, I helped write it! I know it's good.
Promise of a Spring Moon by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 574]
Summary:
April showers bring May...hassles? Bridesmaid blues and big trouble from small favours complicate Tonks' life when all she wants is to bring her love for Remus into full bloom.
Before I start my review, I'd like to tell you that Bill is still saying "my friend" and I saw no mention of Lizet (or any name for that matter). Still, I thought this took place around the fifth year summer, shows how wrong I was.
The Review: Lovely chapter. "Granny takes on troll," I loved it. "Hessie and Sturgy," not so much. Even though I don't like the nicknames much, it puts joy in me to know that Hestia will most likely lay off Remus for a while, I hope.
Author's Response: It does now, lol. I finally got around to changing it- I did it on FF and then forgot to do it on MN! D\'oh!
Thanks for reminding me, and yeah, anything that distracts Hestia from Remus is a-okay to me! :D
I really liked this chapter. I think my favorite part was when Tonks woke up and saw where her hand had traveled while she slept. lol. It's always interesting when Evan comes in because the plot always seems to go wild everytime he shows up and nothing happens as would be suspected. Can't wait to see the double date at the police banquet. I'm really sad that Sirius had to disappear from the plotline for now, and I miss him already *sniffle* *sob*. Will a trip to Jan's make everything feel a little better for Cami?
Author's Response: I promise the next story is very Sirius, and I think you\'ll like the twists in this one. :D I\'m almost done writing chapter 15 now, so I promise to put chapters into the queue as soon as they validate, so you can see what happened!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sirius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I'm just a little excited that Sirius is coming back. Glad to see the cheap, "horny" old devils what was coming to them (sorry about the bad pun).
Author's Response: She gave \'em hell, didn\'t she? (there\'s no such thing as a bad pun. Siriusly. ; )
Must *gasp* have *wheeze* update *collapses on the floor*. I really wish chapter 2 would be posted already!
Author's Response: I\'ll put it into the queue manana! :)
Loved the chapter. Nice to have Sirius back. I wonder what will happen next. That wasn't much of a cliffhanger though.
Still, I'm curious as to what will happen between Rita and Jerry. (And for the sake of bad puns, is Jerry's dad named Tom? [I said it'd be bad])
Author's Response: Maybe there is such a thing as a bad pun. Nah. :D
How could you say that wasn\'t much of a cliffhanger! They\'re in bed, and Remus wasn\'t asking if she was breathing okay since he was pressing her into the mattress! LOL.
I guess I\'ll have to eat another piece of chocolate. Got over the guilt, now I\'m depressed. *Sighs dramatically, pressing the back of hand to brow*
What a sad boggart. And the day seemed to be going so well too. I wonder why the Warringtons broke the contract. Tom's parents must be really mad. Hm....
Author's Response: I really make Tonks earn her happy ending this fic, having to confront her deepest fears! (Good for her, though! :D)
Ooh, brilliant! You've done it again! Sorry my reviews are so infrequent, I'm only able to come on during my study halls and I try to balance out my time between websites. Fantastic chapter.
Author's Response: I\'m happy you read whenever you have time, and are such a sweetie to take precious time to review! Thank you!
That was great! I want more! But what happened to Julia? Still, brilliant chapter!
PS: Are we going to hear from Sirius soon, may it be in a letter or a quick pop through the Floo network? It would be so fan-diddly-astic (I've always wanted to put that in a review) if you did, in a later chapter, that is.
Author's Response: More Julia next chap! Sirius will be mentioned and send letters, and Tonks will have talks with Cami, but the main interaction this fic will be via the camping trip that will be the mother of all camping trips, LOL. If you need a Sirius fix until then, you can check out my Marauder Era Sirius fic Semi Charmed Life under the General cat. (hint, hint :D)
Forgot to say that Tonks, even only a little drunk, was kinda funny at first. Then it got really cute and a little fluffy with the poem. No worries, fluff is good with me.
Author's Response: The fluff was a cover to set the stage for the fic, lol. You now know it\'s May, Lora\'s planning the wedding, Rory and Melanie are both happy with other partners, Remus and Tonks are still snuggling instead of...being intimate...Sirius is in Hogsmeade and now Julia has shown up on the doorstep, a friend in need. It\'s like the Mary Poppins song \"A spoonful of sugar (fluff) makes the medicine (pertinent information) go down...\" Glad you liked it! :D
I've finally dragged my lazy procrastination butt back here to finish the story and try and keep up to date. I absolutely loved the chapter! And I love the song Mr. Wonderful! That scene where Boles burst in on Tonks disguised as Maris was absolutely priceless. A guaranteed barrel of laughs.
Author's Response: I refuse to hear ill of a wonderful reader! You were busy, life got in the way, maybe (hopefully) a gorgeous guy distracted you...whatever reason, you\'re reading now and I\'m happy! ^_^
That was a really great chapter. I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to come out with fantastic chapters and one-shots everytime.
Author's Response: That\'s very nice of you to say so. I love readers and don\'t want to disappoint them! ^_^
The wards were so funny. I sort of missed Evan because he tends to represent some ominous tension or problem that will come.
Author's Response: Thank you! Evan is quite handy for that kind of thing, isn\'t he. ^_~
Now you're teasing me.... *adopts a Trelawney-esque voice, or that of one consulting a Magic 8 ball* Oh, great Kerichi... will Sirius come back in future chapters?
Author's Response: HaHaHa....\"or that of one consulting a magic eight ball\" (I have a skull/PotC one from McDonalds, lol) Sirius won\'t show again in this fic, but he\'ll be in a one shot bridging this one and the next, which is OotP, and very Sirius! ^_^
Can we expect a visit to Jan's anytime soon? Between her cousins betting on her sex life and Remus finding out she had a contraceptive potion on hold, I bet she'll be running off for a few truffles or a chocolate croissant (sp?) any minute now.... Yup, any minute.... *sits back and waits for chapter to be validated*
Author's Response: There will be more talks with Jan. She\'s too nice a friend not to see regularly! :D How nice you are to wait. Thank you so much!
