"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" -- Dr. Seuss

(to be perfectly honest, I am of the opinion that Dr. Seuss quotes have the power to change the world)

so.

I dropped off the face of the world for a bit there.

Back now though.

I'll be writing on and off again, so please don't expect regular updates from me sorry!

If you're taking the time to read my profile, then thank you! If you've reviewed, favourited or followed one of my stories, or me for that matter, thank you! It means so much to me, and it makes my day! You are amazing.

Tumblr: Follow me on tumblr for progress reports, sneak peeks, chapter snippets and gif images of my upcoming chapters! This is where I'll keep you all updated (or try to)! its-a-passionfanfic

HarryPotterFanFiction: My Harry Potter stories are also posted over on HarryPotterFanFiction under my penname BlazingPenOfDestruction. Over there is also the story banner artwork created by some truly talented graphic artists from the TDA Forum.

About my writing?

I love OC stories, and I really only write OC stories.

I promise to always try to write real characters (some of my old stories have such blatantly obvious Mary-Sue characters that it makes me cringe. But I keep those stories posted, as a reminder of how far my writing has come - or at least, how far I hope it's come).

I'm easily distracted and caught up by other fandoms, which means I'm near-constantly writing up new stories (most of them don't ever get past the first chapter). To be honest, I just have too many stories on the go, and too many sitting in my head or on my hard drive, than I have time for. I don't write a whole bucket load of chapters out first before updating a chapter or posting a story. I definitely don't plan my stories out. I write when I feel it, and what I feel, or when I can't stop thinking about it. Which means that when chapters come out mostly rests upon how popular or how many reviews a story has. I'm currently a fourth year university student who is undertaking a lot of extra-curricular activities whilst managing two jobs. My free time is severely limited, which accounts for my terrible updating history, so it takes a long time for me to update a story, I'm sorry.

Beta Profile: At the moment, I am not beta-ing any stories. Thank you for your interest, but I just don't have the time, and it's not fair if I can't dedicate enough time to helping you.

Fan Art: DancerOfDanger has created some really awesome cover images for my stories Evermore, Evermore, The Art of Pretending (Or Not), and Things With Teeth. I'm pretty sure she's doing a book cover service, so if you're interested, PM her and ask really nicely! I created the cover image for my story Forgive My Sins.

(These are the stories that are stuck in my head that I haven't yet got down on paper. You can vote in my poll for your favourite!)

Black and White

[Harry Potter : RegulusOC : Rated T; violence, language : Marauders Era]

OC: Poppy White

Summary: Poppy White couldn't help but watch him. Especially when he was enigmatically beautiful and walked like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. A world that was not a happy place. He looked like he needed saving. --between an empathic-to-a-fault, caring girl, and a darkly twisted guy--

Additional Information: A novella about Regulus Black in the months leading up to taking Voldemort's horcrux, and his fate.

Lipstick Stains

[Harry Potter : Teddy LupinOC : Rated T; language, mischief, sexual situations]

OC: Charity "Rit" Weasley

Summary: We weren't fast enough. There was a loud, reverberating bang. Thick, sludge-like goop landed on my head, sliding down the sides of my face and into my eyes, slapping onto my back and sticking to my uniform. There was a moment of stunned silence. Then I grinned. "Told you we wouldn't blow up." --between the explosion-prone, lover of pranks, and her blue-haired, metamorphagus best friend--

Additional Information: Typical fall-in-love-with-your-best-mate story, minus the pathetic pining, add a lot of detentions.

Anachronism

[Outlander : JaimeOC : Rated T; sexual situations, violence, language : slowburn : AU]

OC: Abigail Marek

Summary: I'm an accidental time interloper. At least, that's what I call myself. It could've just as easily been inadvertent time meddler, but that's neither here nor there. You see, I go back and forth between my time, the year 2015, and the early-to-mid 1700s - I never know when, exactly, or where, only that he will be there.

Additional Information: Main character moves back and forth between the two times and makes a real mess of things.

Dead in the Water

[Vampire Diaries : StefanOC : Rated T; violence, language : season 3 onwards : AU]

OC: Gwen Gilbert

Summary: You know, I'm sure there's a logical, rational, perfectly sound explanation for all of this, I just haven't figured it out yet. There's probably a justified reason why I'm telling you this - all of this - as well, but hell if I know what it is. I'm just trying to figure out where to start. I'm dead. Yeah, that's a great beginning. I'm dead, but I'm, you know, still around.

Additional Information: Maybe Stefan chose the wrong sister to save that night on Wickery Bridge. Maybe if Elena didn't look so much like Katherine, he would've chosen her instead. Maybe.

Redemption

[Robin Hood, TV series : GuyOC : Rated T; violence, language, sexual situations : AU]

OC: Beatrice of York

Summary: Bea would not be swayed by the paltry likes of logical reason and good sense. No. She was far too stubborn for any of that. Instead, she much preferred to barrel impulsively and recklessly headlong into situations which - in retrospect - were quite more than she could handle. But that was all just part of her method. The second part usually involved teasings and insults and would only serve to get her into even more trouble, especially where Gisborne was concerned.

Additional Information: Typical love story where the lovers in question are on opposing sides, working towards different ends, and if any kind of sense pervaded their minds, they'd surely hate each other.
