Hey! This is Sir Fuzzalot!

UPDATED--June 21, 2010

So... it's been an incredibly loong time. I took a huge break to finish high school. I'm not going to promise an update incredibly soon, but I'm working on a few of my stories again. It felt really bad to abandon them -- especially Frequent Falling, which is almost done. THAT will be updated by the end of the summer. It's good to be back!

Sir Fuzzalot: notorious for having ridiculously long updates. I don't know if that's a insult, a compliment, or just a plain statement.

~ NEWS ~

There will be twelve chapters in Frequent Falling.

Here are my stats on upcoming chapters: Frequent Falling: 1,246 words; Years With or Without You: 1,740 words; Light of Luna: 563 words; A Run-In with Fate: 577 words; Softly in the Shadows: 1,525 words; To Hogwarts... and Beyond: 2,450 words; Rush to Reality: 290 words.

NOTICE: sorry to say this, guys, but Light of Luna (LoL) has been temporarily discontinued. I've been too busy, and didn't have the time to write it. So, now, don't expect an update for a long time.

Be sure and read the prequel to Frequent Falling, Years With or Without You! Sorry, it's just the prologue for now.


~ INFO ON ME ~

My name is Lindsay--I love writing, but only fiction. I write action/adventure and dramatic stories with supernatural twists outside of fanfiction

My favorite bands are Muse, Radiohead, Coldplay, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Snow Patrol

I live in the great state of Texas! (everything really is bigger in Texas!)

Fred and George are my favorite characters, closely followed by Ginny and Ron. Just gotta love them Weasleys! My other favorite characters are Pippin, Haldir, Faramir, and Éowyn from Lord of the Rings.

NEWS ON MY FANFICS

Frequent Falling

A George/Alicia fanfic from George's point of view. The title is basically the plot, really. "Frequent Falling' means 'frequent falling in love'. I luff the title, but don't go thinking that it means people falling off of cliffs or out of trees, I just explained that. I love it when people review it! review it and join my list of new friends!

Rated: T, just in case. It's a lovey-dovey story, a story teenagers would read. It is soooooo much a soap opera, that I'm choking in the bubbles.

Hey guys, I've put up ch 9 Ways and Means after a long wait... who knows when chapter 10 will come out?? For now I'm working on all the other stories I have posted.

MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO MAKE A SEQUEL, but I can't tell you the title or plotline because it'll give away some of the stuff in this fanfic. Don't want spoilers, do we? Oh, all right I'll tell you the title. It doesn't give anything away, and I've got it all planned out. It is to be called 'Always the Astonishing'. Oh, and there'll be a sequel after that, and another one after that, so you have a lot to look forward to! OH! OH! THERE WILL BE A PREQUEL THAT WILL HOPEFULLY EXPLAIN OUT THE THINGS YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT! Email me or whatnot about what you'd like explained.

Light of Luna

Sadly, this story will be discontinued until further notice. I've only written about 500 words of the 5th chapter. Not nearly close to the projected 5,000. See you guys in awhile, readers of LoL!

A Luna fic from her point of view. She just graduated Hogwarts, and she got a job unexpectedly. It's a hard job to avoid, though, because if she doesn't do it, then a bunch of people will die, several of them she is friends with... the plot comes into action the end of the 2nd chapter. The title is significant, yes it is, but I can't tell you why right now, because that will give away something EXTREMELY vital in the story, something about Luna...

Rated: T, just in case. It's teen action, teen adventure, not little kiddy stuff with ponies and rainbows. We're talking death, curses, suspense, romance :).

Chapeter (misspelled on purpose) 5 won't be up for a while... can't give away the title of Chapter five now, because that would be a very big plot spoiler! Shame!

If you read LoL, PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU REVIEW IT! I have no idea what to change and make better if you guys don't review it. Thanks to lovelyXhailey for reviewing first! I also don't know if you guys like the story or not.

please?

Years With or Without You

The prequel to Frequent Falling, goes through all seven Hogwarts years with Alicia and her best friends. It will be very long. Will take many years for me to write.

HEY! To all avid fans (I guess) -- I have started CHAPTER ONEEE! You'll like it, trust me. It starts out with rain, some past memories, muddy boots...

I have now allowed anonymous reviews, so if you are not logged on FF.net, you can now review! start with ch 1! all reviews are read and treasured!

Rated: T, just in case. Aren't I always like that? There's more than your fair share of drama, plenty of romance, laughs, but nothing real dirty. I'm a clean mouth, so no profanity.

Softly in the Shadows

My first LotR story, so it might not be very good. LotR is my favorite story and book, though, so it could be possibly better than my Harry Potter ones. This first chapter only has a little bit of the main character in it, for it talks mainly about someone who has a relation to the main character. I think that this story has the longest first chapter I've ever done so far. The longest chapter, though, goes to F.F. ch 7 so far. it's 9.98k words.

Rating: T, just in case. Heh, that was expected. All my stories are rated T because I like to do that way. Tough Noogies.

Umm... just so ya know, Mellie (Lidamélae in short) is quite humorous. She's about as funny as your normal teenager today (you might object, but I have firsthand experience. meeehhhh). Haldir is... well, Haldir. stiff-backed, not very friendly on first acquaintance, you know. That's why I love him so much (well, he's my favorite LotR character! I dunno, actually. Faramir is a tie.). And you know how in the summary (well, the summary is about Haldir) how it says that 'the most unlikely elleth has devoted all of her time to him'. Weeellll... baaaaad combination, interesting results. Wait to find out.

All the characters in this story are elves, save maybe one or two.I haven't really decided yet. Just so you know, I try to not make my characters affiliated with the term Mary-Sue. I hate it when people accuse characters of being a Mary-Sue. A Mary-Sue could be anything! Technically, the only thing that a Mary-Sue probably won't be will be some fat girl lounging around on a couch all day. Gosh! I will have no affiliation with the term Mary-Sue. I hate it when characters are called it, because every author make their creations in their own special way, very unique. MARY SUE CANNOT HAVE 5 MILLION PERSONALITIES. BETAS, IF YOU ACCUSE A CHARACTER OF BEING A MARY-SUE, SHAME... it drives me up the wall. I've had it done to me. If this ever happens to you, reader, stand up to their face and say, "Screw you! My character is completely original and unique! Go and try writing a character that isn't classified as a Mary-Sue! try to do it... it's hard isn't it? SO STOP NAGGING ME! "

Sorry about the rant on Mary-Sues, but I just had to do it. It drives me nuts. Just so ya know, elves are supposed to be semi-perfect. Cheers!

Rush to Reality

This is my first Lily/James story. I finished the first chapter a lot sooner than expected. It starts with James explaining his years at Hogwarts gone awry. The second chapter will start out in seventh year, and go into PostHog. Plot doesn't come in until second chapter. James will go missing, and Lily has to go find him, being sent by the Ministry. At that point, she loathes him. They'll fall in love in second chapter, but then he'll do something to make her loathe him, and the year will end. THEENNN he will go missing, and she has to find him.

Definitely AU at most parts.

Rated: T, just in case. No language, no dirty stuff. I just like rating stuff T.

I love writing for Sirius. He's so much fun! You can get a lot of really good quotes out of him. In this story, he's paired with a girl called Gwen. Remus is with Kat, and Peter's with... no one. :(

Okay, I kinda skipped over the Animagus part of his school years, but at the end of the first chapter, they use the names.

Expect an update in December or early January. I'm working on SitS and YWWY as well, though.


I will most definetely have a fanfic about George and Alicia, after they are married, when they have kids. It might be dramatic or full of action/adventure.
