Hiya Lizzy Thanks for stopping by!

I think I'd have to go with Lily/Jame or Sirius or Remus or Snape Basically, I'm a big Lily fan. Though, really, I'm not picky at all. I can think of a dozen ships that I really love to read about.

Tie between Blasted and Sunflowers.

Friday, because it's the beginning of the weekend

Hi!
Okay, so I'm absolutely horrible at thinking up questions, but I thought I'd give this a go:

1. Where do you find inspiration for stories from? Do you ever base characters off of people you know?
2. Do you stick to fanfiction or do you also have original stories? Do you write in any other forms (like poetry or screenplay or something)?
3. I just saw you have a TDA page- do you prefer graphics or writing?

Oh, and:
4. Least favorite character in the HP books?

Haha well I thought these questions were lovely Plus, it's the thought that counts!

1. Where do you find inspiration for stories from? Do you ever base characters off of people you know?
Honestly, inspiration almost always strikes me just as I am about to fall asleep. I think my mind is most creative when it's at rest. Sometimes, but rarely, music is a muse for me - it all depends. Sometimes I can't stand to write with it on and sometimes it is my crutch.

2. Do you stick to fanfiction or do you also have original stories? Do you write in any other forms (like poetry or screenplay or something)?
I tend to favour fanfiction because it has a larger readership in the online community and I love getting feedback on what I write. But I do write original fiction Mostly it's fantasy stuff because that's my favourite genre to read. And I've also written one screenplay and I love writing poems. I used to hate them but after taking a writer's craft course in my last year of high school it just kind of grew on me!

3. I just saw you have a TDA page- do you prefer graphics or writing?
It depends on the day you ask me. Haha. Today, I'd say writing. But some days I'd tell you graphics. It just depends how much progress I am currently making in both endeavors. If I had to make an ultimate choice, though, I think writing will always trump graphics because it's just been such a huge part of my life for so long. I started fan fiction when I was around 11 and graphics when I was 14. It's not just that, though. I get more excitement from getting a sentence or scene or chapter just right than I do from making a graphic.

4. Least favorite character in the HP books?
Oh goodness. Hm. I think I'd have to say Umbridge. She just really, really annoys me. I hate reading OotP because of her (not to mention poor Sirius!)

Thanks for these questions!! It means a lot. You rock

Hello! You recently requested a review from me, on your story Sunrise. I love it, and I just wanted to respond to your response on my review of Chapter 3.

In my review I mentioned that the sexual assault scene was a little confusing, and you responded saying you were worried about it and that you'll try and fix it. But I think you may have misunderstood what I meant, and I just wanted to address that before you changed anything. I don't know if you noticed, but at the end of that paragraph, I said that it was a good thing! Like, when you're being attacked, you're not taking in every detail and your mind isn't comprehending what's going on. It's supposed to be a bit of a blur and pretty confusing. So when I felt confused reading it, it fit with the story because that's how you're supposed to feel when you're sexually assaulted -- it fit with the mood of the story! It was fast and kind of "whoa, what's going on" but that's how it's supposed to be. So don't change it!! It's good!

Another thing is that you thanked me for coming back and reviewing on my own time. I assure you, I don't mind at all! A great thing about being a reviewer is that I can run into some great stories (like yours) that I might not have found if I didn't get a request for it. I favorited the story after you requested it, by the way (that's how I saw the update).

Great story! I can't wait until Chapter 4!

Oh, wow, thank you so much for this! Completely made my day that you took the time to respond to me I did understand that you thought it was a good thing because of the confusion that surrounds being assaulted, and I agree with you 100% on that point, I was just worried that other readers may not get it as well as you and chalk it up to bad writing on my part. Though you have convinced me to leave it as it - thanks so much for that!

Aw, thank you! I can't tell you how great it is to hear that! It's such a good feeling to know that you liked the story enough to keep coming back

Chapters 4-6 are entirely plotted, scene-by-scene (and much of it already had dialogue in my head) so hopefully it won't be too too long before they're posted - unfortunately, I'm supremely busy with school at the moment so it cuts into my writing time

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
