Ria speaketh:

I love to read fanfiction, (at least the good ones!) mostly Harry Potter and Tamora Pierce. I do NOT read any fics that have anything akin to "summary sucks just read plz" or "bad at summaries' in the summary, because I have found in the past that if it has a bad summary, it's most likely a bad story.
I also refuse to read anything with typos in the summary. It burneth my eyes, and again, if it is in the summary it's likely to be in the story. Sorry, guys, but I'm NOT going to burn my eyes trying to see some semblance of a plot through all the spelling errors that you should have seen proofreading. I don't mind a couple if I like the story, but careless typing bugs the heck outta me.
Aside from that, I do love to review people, and review almost every story I read. I can't leave without doing it. =)

I love some HP ships, and hate others, although if it looks intriguing I'll go for it even if I hate the ship. I don't read much besides romance, being an unabashed romantic myself.

---

Here are some of the ships I go for:
Harry/Ginny (as long as Ginny actually has a personality)
Ron/Hermione
Remus/Sirius (the greatest ship ever! I'd say over half the stories I read are RLSB.)
Neville/Luna
Dean/Seamus
Lily/James

Ships I'm neutral on: (These are ones I'll read if it's good.)
Harry/Draco
Hermione/Draco
Ginny/Hermione
Ron/Draco (unusual, but I've read some good ones)
Ginny/Tonks (No, really!)

Ships I wish would crawl into a dark hole and die:
Severus/Hermione (They're all the same. I don't know why people bother anymore.)
Severus/Harry
Ginny/Draco
Remus/Tonks (Grr! Get your hands off Remus, you evil woman! to clarify however, I like Tonks. Just not with Remus.)
Hermione/Remus
Ginny/Sirius (eurgh! I don't go for those cross/generational things. Same for above.)

As far as Tamora Pierce goes, I've lately been more into Emelan than Tortall, but it drives me nutso that there isn't a character filter like there is for HP. I HATE HATE HATE (!!!!) Briar with any of the girls, as do I hate Daja with Sandry or Tris. Yuk. Don't. Do. That.
I like Lark and Rosethorn (cute!), and I like Briar with some OC. I like Daja to somehow get back together with (what was her name? From Will of the Empress? Dang, I'm not synapsing. Oh well.). I like Sandry with that one guy, it started with an S, I'm sure, (Donkey dung, to quote the Lady Sandrilene herself; I'm just not thinkful tonight.). I like Tris with OCs. Nobody introduced seemed to fit her, so it's nice when said person is introduced. I don't like Evvy for some reason; never have. She's annoying. But I love Chime!

I write, myself, but have never been able to bring myself to play with somebody else's characters. Maybe someday I'll try and you can read it; until then I shall be an R&R type. (Read and Review, my friends.)

So, that's basically my reading interests. Besides all this, I am totally obsessed with ballet and modern dance, play the french horn, piano, pipe organ and violin, and am homeschooled. Thank you for your time.

Love from Ria.
