"The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact." -William Shakespeare

Books are my life. Favorites are Harry Potter, Stravaganza, Tamora Pierce, Scott Westerfeld, Bloody Jack, Vampire Academy, Mortal Instruments Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, random paranormal books, not-so-random but equally captivating fantasies, an occasional modern fiction...yeah. Pretty much anything on the bookshelf is fair game.

On Writing: I can't write fanfictions about characters already defined by an author. I feel like I can't capture their voice, their essence, which is why I usually write OCs... until now. I'm playing with the Marauders lately, who are minor enough characters that I can explore their personalities myself. It's an awful lot of fun :)

On Reviews: I try to leave a review for every fic I read…first because I like giving feedback, and second because I hope people will do the same for me. Comments will be constructive, whether they be about character or plot or style. I hope they help :)

On Betas: I'm open to almost any fanfiction as long as I know the base storyline. I'm most interested in books, and I read a LOT, so chances are I've either read it or plan to. Check out my Beta profile if you're interested in my help.

Also, you should check out these awesome authors. I beta for them (and therefore I'm unbiased ;D), and they are super-talented:

sanctuary-in-dreams writes for Maximum Ride, Harry Potter, and Twilight. For those who know Max Ride, you know she's a unique narrator, and Sid's nailed that voice.
overworkedandunderpaid has an AMAZING, finished Vampire Academy fic filled with tons of mystery (Swiss Cheese, anyone?) and romance.
InkPhantom writes for InuYasha and Twilight. I'm loving Lunar Rainbow, which is SethXOC and really well-written.
