Hello Readers!

I'll keep it short:

I love tea, the smell of books (old and new), and writing. My main goal is to write (and read) as much fanfiction as possible. And be the next J. K. Rowling (hey, people can dream)!

As a second year college student residing in possibly the rainiest state in the US, I use what little down time I have nowadays to catch up on my passions, which include watching and re-watching my favorite tv shows/movies, and ultimately, pretending to work on my novel, while, more than I'd like to admit, finding myself here on Fanfiction instead. Usually, you can find me nestled underneath a blanket, sipping some tea, and reading a book (more than likely either Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone or Jane Eyre), writing ideas on scraps of paper (because, Heaven help me, I can never find a full sheet of paper, though I am a writer by trade), or watching a favorite show of mine. I have the innate ability to 'ship the tragic 'ships, the ones that never actually sail, and the ones no one cares about. I love laughing with my friends, I have a strange (and varied) sense of humor and I love optimistic people. I'm a little on the short side, but I think my big personality covers that well. I also am an Anglophile with an addiction to all things Who, Harry Potter, and Downton Abbey. And tea. Never forget the tea.

I love people, I love talking, and so, I end this note with an invite to PM if you have any questions about my profile, stories, etc.

*I, Umbrella-Ella have challenged myself! I'm proud to be a part of the HPFC forum.*

Favorite/Inspirational Quotes

"So whether you come back by page or by screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" -JK Rowling

"The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship...Everything has it's time. And everything ends" -Sarah Jane Smith (Doctor Who)

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucius

"I know you. You're doing something gallant here, making a sacrifice for my honor, but I don't want you to. I don't care. Don't you understand? I don't care what people say. I'd live in sin with you. If she's threatening to ruin me, then let her. It's nothing to me. The only ruin that I recognize is to be without you!" -Anna Smith

Is it possible to have two OTPs? I do. My first OTP ever was Remus and Tonks from Harry Potter, and my present OTP is John and Anna Bates, because they're just too adorable. I love to watch these two interact because they're portrayed by such wonderful actors. And their story is just lovely.

Categories/Couples I Will Always Read/Write:

Downton Abbey: John and Anna

Doctor Who (Rose/Nine, Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane)

Harry Potter (Severus and Lily, Ron and Hermione, Remus and Tonks, George and Luna, Dumbledore and McGonagall, Cho Chang and Marcus Flint, Arthur and Molly, Dean and Luna, and a lot more...) I have commitment issues when it comes to these characters, alright?

The Walking Dead (Carol and Daryl)

If you've made it this far, I'm impressed! This marks the end of my musings. Now, if you're not too tired from my extensive monologue, feel free to explore my stories and leave reviews. Reviews are food for the fanfic author's soul.

That's all, folks!
