Es ist eine Weile her, seit ich mit diesem Profil irgendwas sinnvolles angestellt habe... Jahre...

und vor kurzem ist mir das Passwort wieder eingefallen. ;D

Ich bin weiblich, Studentin, liebe Harry Potter und Sprachen, Schreiben und Reisen und noch einiges mehr. Außerdem lese ich gern und viel Fanfiction, vor allem auf Englisch. Es gäbe noch viel zu erzählen, aber das Internet muss nicht alles wissen. Wenn IHR etwas wissen wollt, mailt mir einfach.

Fanfiction: Nobody is perfect, but some are more imperfect. Obviously, this is just a selection of the annoying things you can do with fanfiction. You do not have to agree.

-Harry says "hey guys, mates, friendly wobblies and duddykins" every. second. sentence. To everyone. Including 'Mione, WonWon, NevNev, Sev, Voldy-kins, Siri and all the other horribly friendly nicknames. All his little itsy bitsy friendsies and foe-sies call him "mate, cub, Prongsy-poops" and together they go on a hunt for colourful butterflies. (vomits into bucket) The only exception are intended jibes and jokes or a story that manages to explain the development of such happy itsy bitsy wordsys. Like an international Tongue Twister Curse gone awfully wrong.

-Mary Sue and Gary Stue, may you be gone when I shout BOO! They can be disguised as canon characters, OOCs, OCs or centaurs. Much has been written and said about it. There are stories featuring them that are readable, some even good, but they are the exceptions to the rule. (I tried elaborating on the topic, but got the feeling that continuing might endanger my sanity and make me smash the screen. Later, perhaps...)

-Character bashing for the sake of the bashing, not the plot of your story. Don't do it or invent a reason. Pleaaase.

-Always have a plot for a story that's longer than two pages. Not just anecdotal stuff, or a fluffy situation.

-FFs that go like this: Harry went to the bathroom. He left the bathroom. He jumped on Ron's bed. Harry then said "Good morning!". He climbed out of the portrait hole. He ran into Professor Snape... Don't start every sentence with a pronoun or a real noun. Change sentence structure and vary the length of your sentences. It makes the read more interesting and keeps your reader's brain from spontanously combusting. You will save lifes.

And please, please, don't let one character have all the answers! Let them fall, let them fail! Let them be wrong and disagree! Let them have bad luck!! Let them be a bit like us, so we can like them. Thank you all for writing, for putting so much effort into it!
