Fanfiction has become an alternate universe for me to immerse myself in. It's rather pitiful.
My favorite ship is Ron and Luna (although, when it comes to the books, I'm a huge Ron/Hermione supporter). My first ship, however, was Draco/Hermione.
I try to read (and write) meaningful, non-cliche fics, but for some reason I always get hooked on those cliche romances that make you laugh (either because it's really funny or it's just so stupid).
I also adore first-person stories. Being unable to write such stories, I naturally read a ton of them. 'Cause who wants to read something that you, yourself, could write?

I sail the Draco/Ginny ship  I don't go for canons, because I like to leave them up to JK Rowling. Plus, they're canon! They're so boring  I absoultely hate Draco/Hermoine, though most of you probably already knew that! =^.^= I think they're a ridiculous excuse for a ficship, if you'll notice by my board "WHY Do people think D/Hr belong togethre!?" And I truely don't understand what Herm's got that Ginny doesn't Unless it's something that nobody really cares about I try to stay away from cliche's too, but I probably am the queen of them I just can't understand how that happens..but sometimes cliches are fun, and sometimes they make me all giddy when I read them But since I sail D/G, I can't very well like a fluffy fic, can I? No, I like angsty romance, games of cat and mouse and hard to get. They're ever so fun I also have taken a liking to Adult Fanfiction, but would never be able to write one myself. I leave it up to others 1st person: it's alright, I've actually started up a fic (dg ofcourse) that's from 1st POV..but I like to stick to 3rd person ominiscent (or however the hell you spell that)...it's more fun =^.^= I also adore Post-Hogwarts fics...I'm having such a hard time writng my During-Hogwarts fic...I always make my characters waaaay too mature >.< Dammit! But in Post-Hogwarts, they can be as mature as you want them to be (well maybe not ron? lol!), and the stories are more often more believable from this vantage point...plus, you aren't confined to Hogwarts. you can go anywhere with Post-Hogwarts! Ok well that's an eyefull of readin'..lol sorry for ramblin'  |

Yeah, so I'm pretty much a total fanfiction nerd. Lol I can sit here and go on about it all day.
I'm the BIGGEST DG shipper (well, pry tied with Amy here) on the face of this earth. I think DHr is the most VILE, PUTRID, FOUL ship ever.
I love 1st person POV, I'm writing one, but I don't think it's very good. I love reading them though ;D It's easier to feel like yer "there."
Hrm, I've got a few of the cliques and cliches in my fics, but I try not to FOCUS on them so people are like "omg, this is boring, i've read it a million times, WHAT THE HELL"
lol. And that's pretty much it I suppose. Specially at almost 3 in the morning. I don't feel like talking much. I'm tired as all get out.

Favorite Ship? Hermione and any of the following: a twin, draco, ron, snape, lupin, ron
I also like slash with any combo of Harry, Ron, Neville, Draco, Blaise. I'm a proud sirius/lupin shipper!
Least favorite? Lily James (I never found one that I liked)
Favorite characters? Hermione, any Weasley
Favorite writing style? I like creative best but cliches are very easy to follow and can be very good as long as it is well written and holds its own.
Least favorites? I hate random fics, you know the ones, that don't make sense, have no plot, not written by someone with a brain.....I've found good quotes in some of them but mostly feel like the author is wasting my time!

My favorite ship is the opposite of Amy's and Tiff's ship, which is Draco and Hermione  ... I love that ship the absolute most because it feels so natural for Draco and Hermione to be together. However, I also enjoy reading Harry and Hermione fanfics, Ron and Hermione, or Blaise and Hermione. My least favorite ship is any slash pairing, or student and teacher pairing. I don't like Ginny and Draco either, but I am trying to expand my horizon, and I am trying to read it. So, if there are any good Draco and Ginny fics that are out there, please recommend them to me!  My favorite character is Hermione. I love writing about her! She's a really fun character to write about because I relate to her the most. And Hermione is loyal and smart and she knows what she wants and has set goals in her life. My favorite writing style is usually third person, but I sometimes use first person. But everytime I use first person, I unintentionally switch back to third person! Gr, lol. I don't like reading stories that are written in a jumble with no spaces, and just one big paragraph. Also, I don't like a few cliches, even though I am guilty of using them. I hate the cliche [though I have used it ] of Hermione coming back to Hogwarts all hot and pretty with a great body. I can't really stand those anymore. And since so many people use a certain cliche or clique, it does get boring reading it over and over again. I also can't read fanfictions that don't have who said what after it. For example: "How dare you!" "It was his fault" Ah, and the fic should have good grammar and good spelling accuracy. But, other than that, I enjoy reading all kinds of fics! |

read these great Draco/Ginny's(all of them are finished except the first one): Ginny Weasley and the Curse of the First Born (WIP, though...but it's SO GOOD) Cruel: Heart and soul Wrongfully Accused Masquerade The Best Subterfuge (oneshot) Forever with You The Visible Invisible Fire (one-shot) The Source Graduation (One-Shot) New Lessons at Hogwarts (some R/Hr too) *** Ok, so anyway, other than my ULTIMATE D/G ships (that I'll pry go back and read again some day cause they're so good), I hate most cliques too. I hate reading the same plot over and over again, and the same events. I hate hate hate it! lol. I hate grammar mistakes (Lots of them at least...I know nobody's perfect), those who have an AN that is nearly as long as the chapter, people who switch characters but don't let you know, Draco having a private room of his own..etc. But what I hate the most out of it all, is when people call Ginny VIRGINIA in their stories!!!!!!  it pisses me off! it's GINEVRA!!! And the sad part is, some of my favorite fics have this error in them, which is sad, cause it makes them look ignorant despite their beautiful writing. Any HP spelling errors (that are continuous) bug the hell out of me. Cause obviously, someone hasn't read the books.. |

Favourite ship: Remus/Sirius yes, I'm all about the puppy love least favourite: any student/teacher fic, it disgusts me My fanfiction world consists purely of the MWPP era, I have absolutely no interest in Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco etc. Don't know why. Even isthe fic is post-OotP it's still centered around Remus/Sirius. I like third person omniscient but first person isn't too bad so long as its Remus or Sirius |

See, unlike you, I hold hardly any interest in the MWPP era. The only time I'd ever really write about it would be if it centered on the black sisters + Lucius + Snape....I have a knack for evil characters, don't i? Lol

well the reason I fell in love with MWPP fic is because I loved Remus and Sirius so much to begin with, (yea me and my older men obsession) then one night I got bored, and decided to go read some fanfiction, I had never read any HP stuff before like, 2 weeks ago (and now I'm addicted ) and then I came across the most amazing story, Shoebox Project, and I've even got friends who haven't read HP reading it and they like it a lot (it took some background explaining but she caught on lol) so... yea. I don't now, Harry and Co. just don't do it for me *shrugs* |
