![]() Hi :) My name is Lauren, and I'm half Scottish and half English, so I get the best of both worlds. As you can probably gather from my penname I really enjoy slash, specifically of the DM/HP and SB/RL variety. As you've most likely guessed, I love Harry Potter, but I also enjoy reading fics for Criminal Minds, CSI, and occasionally other random TV shows I enjoy. I'm one of those people who likes looking through profiles, so I shall attempt to make this interesting. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more - Joy Division, Shadowplay Things about me which may interest you: 1) I LOVE The Killers. I've been an unofficial Victim since they started, and an official Victim for about a year and a half. I saw Brandon live during his solo tour in Leeds, and I saw The Killers at Hard Rock Calling, along with the Kaiser Chiefs and James, and it was easily one of the best nights of my life. 2) I only got into Harry Potter last year. I'd seen the first two when I was a kid, but I think that I was too young to fully understand it's brilliance, and, I'm ashamed to say it, I lost interest and never bothered watching the third film. Then last year OotP was on ITV1, and there was nothing else on telly so I decided to watch it. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I borrowed the rest of the films from my friend, and then saw HP7P2 in the cinema in January. Then I wanted to know what happened, so I read the second half of the last book, then I realised that that was bizarre as they missed so much stuff out of the films, so I read the books from the beginnning. I haven't had a day without doing something HP related since. 3) I got a mild case of Swine Flu in January, and so I stayed up all night reading OotP. I then spent about an hour crying at the end of it. 4) My mum promised me a trip to New York, but it was too expensive so she asked what I'd like instead. After being denied Brandon Flowers, I am now the proud owner of a £90 official replica of Lucius Malfoy's pimpcane. Worth it. 5) I took a house sorting quiz online and got Slytherin, followed by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. I got 0% Hufflepuff. 6) I got into Criminal Minds after watching 'Revelations'. This made me fall in love with Reid and Matthew Gray Gubler. This love only blossomed when I found out that MGG directed The Killers' music video for 'Don't shoot me Santa'. xD 7) People appear to be under the impression that people my age should be out at the weekends partying, drinking and not getting back home until 4am. I spend my Friday nights in bed reading fanfics and watching AVPM and AVPS on YouTube. 8) I don't dress in black and listen to Heavy Metal because I think I'm 'misunderstood' or because I'm 'depressed'. I do it because I like the colour and I enjoy the music. There's nothing better than headbanging around my room in my Slipknot hoodie on a Sunday afternoon. 9) I'm incredibly disappointed if I get anything less than an A in my exams. Except in PE and Maths. I'm happy with a B in those. 10) I cannot stand any sort of discrimination, be it sexism, racism, homophobia or just plain bullying. People ought to be accepted, not tolerated. 11) I think it's perfectly fine to have a religion and be proud of it, however, I don't stop you from stating your beliefs so please refrain from stopping me state mine. Just for the record, I'm agnostic and believe in reincarnation. 12) I tend to randomly add French words into my sentences. I say 'D'accord' a lot. 13) I want to go to University to study Psychology, and then become a Forensic Psychologist. At some point I'd like to live in America. :) Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove - Lez Zeppelin, Black Dog I quite like unconventional slash pairings, as well as the usual ones; Drarry, Wolfstar, Deamus, Snarry (If well written). I really like Harry/Seamus, but there aren't many of them D: I'm also not a huge fan of dark!Harry, as I don't like thinking of poor Dumbledore being mean. And most of my favourite characters are on the light side. Apart from Lucius, Bellatrix and Draco. I don't read much het, but I love Hermione/Ron, they're my favourite canon pairing. And James/Lily. But if we're going for canon pairings that haven't really been confirmed but are so obvious, Remus/Sirius are my favourite. They're my OTP, they're so adorable! I have twitter, tumblr and LJ, though I barely use the last two. They confuse me, but there are some good communities. Like 'Accio Remus/Sirius' xD I wanted freedom, bound and restricted, I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted - Muse, Time Is Running Out Favourite Books: Harry Potter Series (Obviously), any by James Patterson, the Noughts and Crosses franchise by Malorie Blackman, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I love Shakespeare, Othello is one of my all time favourite pieces of work. I had to write a 1000 word essay on the themes of jealousy and betrayal for my coursework and was probably the only one who enjoyed writing it. I got an A. :D Favourite Films: The Dark Knight, Harry Potter films, Along Came a Spider, The Lion King, Toy Story 1, 2 & 3, Beauty and the Beast, Knocked Up, Star Trek, Die Hard and Total Eclipse (Mainly because David Thewlis and Leo Dicaprio snog.) Music: The Killers, Muse, Kaiser Chiefs, Slipknot, Greenday, Metallica, All Time Low, Nirvana, My Chemical Romance, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and many many more. J'adore musique! TV Shows: Criminal Minds, CSI, The Mentalist, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, CSI:NY, Friends, and other random Crime and Comedy ones. Now I'm back at home and, I'm looking forward to this life I live, you know it's gonna haunt me, so hesitation to this life I give - The Killers, Spaceman I'm also in serious denial. I refuse to believe Fred, Remus and Sirius are dead. Yay for AU fanfiction. I have a notebook where I write down all my ideas for fics, and as soon as I get my own laptop back I'm going to start typing them up. I think I'll start with a few one-shots to get feedback on my writing at first, but I have an idea for a Drarry chaptered fic, and an AU Remus/Sirius fic. So hopefully they'll be up sometime soon. :) Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you honey - Papa Roach, Hollywood Whore One thing that really grinds on me is when people praise Snape for his neverending love for Lily, and never give James any credit. I mean, come on, the guy put himself between his family and the most evil guy on the world just so they had a chance of survival. I mean, yes, he was a bit of an arrogant bully, but it's not like Snape was perfect! He CHOSE to get into the Dark Arts, and to call Lily and mudblood. They both had their faults, but it annoys me when people fail to recognize James' dedication to Lily just because he died sooner than Snape did. In my opinion, James loved Lily just as much, if not more than Snape did. Snape just gets more recognition because he lived longer and redeemed himself at the last minute, whereas James fought to protect those he loved as soon as he was out of school. Snape joined the Dark Arts and chose to serve Voldemort until it was too late to save her, so he blames her death on Harry and treats him awfully. That being said, I have actually stated several times that The Prince's Tale, despite it being unrequited, is one of the best love story's of our time. And James/Lily would be if we had a better insight into how they got together and what they did during the war. Thank Merlin for Fanfiction. xD |
