The Information:

Ashes Forgotten is my chosen penname and obviously not my real name. I use it in honor of those that have died and who end up forgotten down the line. Memories are all we have in the end. However, the name I'll sign by and such in the updates is Gina. I'm going into my freshman year of college and I'm only sixteen, therefore most of my writings aren't all experienced-based because I'm not old enough to have any, but I do have my random 'toilet' thoughts.

As far as fanficion goes, I only write the Harry Potter genre and I stick to Marauder-era A/U. Yes, I know most people believe that fanfiction should be strictly canon, but screw that. I'm a firm believer in taking Rowling's characters and molding them into a story. On the other hand, I never put her characters in another time period or something that extreme. I just play around with various plots and try to get different messages across through my writing hence the one-shots I mainly write.

I have exactly one chapter story, The Diary of Lily Evans, in which I warn people that it is a literal Alternative Universe. The chapters are short there but I update with long intervals, because that story takes a lot of energy to write. This story is perhaps the only one that I warn only mature readers to read, because the concept is somewhat hard to grasp and appriciate.

The rest of the stories are merely romance snipets of Lily and James, though there is usually an underlying message. Have fun. ^^

Now that I've completed my first semester of college (successfully I hope,) I'm planning to go through and edit all my published shorts and maybe write a few more. It is highly unlikely that I will update The Diary of Lily Evans during this time since that story requires a certain kind of and amount of energy that I don't have right now. As for the status of Peccati, I haven't decided whether or not to continue on and create a chapter-version or just leave the prologue as a one-shot.

Happy holidays everyone.
