Greetings Earthlings! My first name is actually Minerva, though Evenstar is from Lord of the Rings. I am a Virgo that has lost her sanity!

I LOVE TO READ fantasy books and poetry. The only works I cherish that are not those genres are A Separate Peace, The Outsiders, and Philippa Gregory's books. Emily Dickinson, Longfellow, and Shakespeare are the poets I enjoy most.

My favourite fantasies (besides Harry Potter) are: The Hobbit by John Ronald Raoul Tolkien Inheritance Trilogy (a.k.a. Eragon) by Christopher Paolini Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith Gaurdians of Time by Marianne Curley Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud Young Wizards by Diane Duane His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan Death Gate Cycle by Weis and Hickman The Adept by Kurtz and Harris Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer Children of the Red King by Jenny Nimmo 'Wolf' series by Jane Lindskold Midnight Predator by Amelia Atwater Rhodes Merry Gentry by Laurel K. Hamilton Sabriel by Garth Nix.

I ship:

James/Lily - I favour the Marauders' era over Harry's. Who doesn't adore a lovehate relationship full of banter in a magical world at war?

Hermione/Draco - In the books I know Hermione shall end up with Ron, but I prefer fan fictions where she is with Draco because I dislike Ron; I think he is funny, but terribly shallow. Draco on the other hand...Well, an ambitious, rich boy belongs with a stubborn genius because they both have elegant taste and can put each other in their place.

Remus/Sirius - I know many of you are thinking,"Oh my gosh! Slash...EW!" Well, if homosexuality bothers you I pity you for being prejudice and closed-minded. I prefer fics about them when they are in school rather than as adults because they're more fun to read and compose. By the time they're adults they've suffered so much that I can't make the tale as light-hearted as I'd like. I know Remus is with Tonks in the novels, however, I am passionately in love with Remus. I found Tonks infuriatingly inquisitive and unorganised since Order of the Phoenix, (You know, the book where there was no indication of romance whatsoever between her and Remus?) so Remus is either Sirius' or HE'S MINE! Thanks, I just wanted to make that clear. lol

Regarding Reviews: I want to be a professional writer someday, so I appreciate constructive critism and I thrive on compliments! Flames, on the other hand, are useless to me. If a person flames me I make fun of them since I do not deserve to be flamed; nobody does. Ever notice that most flamers have none of their own stories? I have never, ever flamed anyone and I always review whatever I read.
