Born a Leo in the year of the Dragon, I love adventure. Hobbies include flying (pilot since 1999) and karate instructor. Really.
I love romance stories, but not smut for smut's sake. My stories tend to be hopeful and I love a strong female character, which is why I like Ginny, or at least what she's intended to be: a little tomboy-ish, and just a wee bit influenced by the twins.
My stories here definitely reflect my growth as a writer. Clearly, my older work has some flaws and every time I re-read them, I feel compelled to correct small things. Nevertheless, they still have a charm and rather good plots. It's rather fun to see that I've actually gotten better over time, and hope to continue to do so, so feedback, especially of the constructive kind, is most appreciated.

Oh... it was lovely! I only wish it was longer. Your first fic? Wow! I never would have guessed. It was quite good.
Author's Response: Maybe I\'ll rewrite it and make it longer for you. I read it again and thought the same thing.
Lies and Smiles by dazedkitten (Reviews - 16)

Torn Between Ice and Emeralds by CrystalM (Reviews - 93)
COMPLETED! -- A broken-hearted Ginny Weasley lets go of Harry Potter to let him fight the good fight and starts her sixth year at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy follows Snape back to Death Eater headquarters after Dumbledore's death to even more danger than he had just left, realising too late that he has made his greatest mistake yet. Is anyone likely to forgive him? Finding himself a refugee within the walls he had conspired against, he witnesses a scene that alters his perception of a concept he had previously found to be a waste of time: Love. This change allows him to grow away from the model Death Eater his father had been sculpting him into in an effort to find out what he really believes in with the help of his new friendship found in the youngest Weasley. Meanwhile, Ginny struggles with her harboured feelings for the man destined to save the Wizarding world, unknowingly losing her affections with every passing day to his childhood enemy.

I do love Pansy. There is just something about her, especially when she's paired with Neville, where she can completely steal a scene with only a few short sentences. She's a perfect melodramatic drama queen and you did a wonderful job with her.

This was precious! I love Colin's character, and the note at the end from McGonagle is just hilarious. Thanks for posting such a sweet little fic!
Author's Response: Thanks! I love Colin too, which is why I wrote this. He was well worth the week-and-a-half of confusion and lack of inspiration I got stuck with three lines in, and hey, it came out okay in the end, right? I actually wasn't going to add in Mcgonagall's response originally, but then halfway through, I just got this little Prof. M voice in my head, going, "never become a detective", so of course I had to add it - and figure out why she would even mention detectives. It was much fun. :D

My Evil Angel by starlit skyes (Reviews - 22)

My breathing was harsh, each breath ripping up my throat unwillingly.
"I tried my best. You asked me to hate you, and I tried my very best to," I said tremulously, my voice nearly incoherent.
What I had not said seemed to hang in the air, just as if I had said it: That if he asked me to love him, I would.
His eyes suddenly seemed to come alive, like melting pewter. They were burning with the emotion I had been fighting not to recall.
"But you know I never wanted you to," he whispered.
"I know."
