Hello,

My name is Button and I am fond of reading Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fan fictions. I do have certain ships I sail including but not limited to: Harry/Hermione, Harry/multi, Sirius/OC, Remus/OC, James/OC, and Legolas/OC. I refuse to read any fan fictions that have a Ron/Hermione pairing or any Slash or mpreg. I will ONLY read a Harry/Ginny fic if it is a Harry/Multi story.

I have found that I rather despise Ginny, Ron, and Molly Weasley, Albus Dumbledore, Lily Evans/Potter, and most of the Fudge-like Ministry people.

I actually enjoy Time-Travel fics, AU fics, Super Harry fics, Independent Harry Fics, Grey Harry Fics, Slytherin Harry fic, fics that are from the Dark Side's pov, Tom Riddle fics, and pretty much any fic where the main character finds their happily ever after (be it a happy marriage, total world domination, or a normal life).

I actually write a ton of fan fiction but I don't post any of it because I have the attention span of a gnat so I lose focus on them fairly quickly. *dramatic sigh* no follow through. I'd be more than happy for someone to take them over though as they just sit there and do nothing... if you're curious though message me and ask... it might take a bit for me to reply though mainly because i usually browse this site without logging in.

sigh* why are so many people fascinated by having slash coupling in Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter crossovers? It sucks when all of the long fics with decent summaries and plots are mostly slash... I do not read slash and i like long fics... Does anyone know of any that are out there that fit the following description:

1. lotr/hp crossover

2. at least 30k words

3. complete or the author is actively still writing

4. no slash

Other than that, I really don't care what it is about.

Just because I saw this and Loved it...
