Hi! salazarastark here. I'll keep my profile short. For now. . . .

name: Haley/nationality: (Greek-)American/age: seventeen/hair: auburn/eyes: blue-green/height: 5'5"/OTP: Zutara

All of my 'A Song of Ice and Fire' fics are on hiatus until I get my inspiration back for them. They'll be updated sporadically, but I'm not actively working on all of them. At this current moment, while I'm back into writing, I'm not currently getting inspiration for ASOIAF. So while hopefully I'll be writing, it will not ASOIAF fanfiction for now. I have an attention span problem when it comes to fandoms and writing. I burn hot, and burn out. I'm trying to work on that, and trying to make myself write for the fandoms, and hopefully I'll swing back around to fandoms that I've left behind and stories I haven't finished.

I used to be Black Rose Blue on here, if anyone cares.

Something that I wrote on my BRB page that I really liked, but I forgot about, was this.

Gryffindor is bravery, nobility, and chivalry.

Hufflepuff is loyalty, patience, and hard work.

Ravenclaw is knowledge, cleverness, and intelligence.

Slytherin is cunning, ambition, and resourcefulness.

But sometimes you need to be loyal to be brave (or how else can you follow through with it?), you need to have knowledge to be noble (or how else can you know what is?), and you need to be cunning to chivalrous (or else are you going to know to use it?).

Sometimes you need to be brave to be loyal (or else are you going to be able to stick to it?), you need to have knowledge to be patience (or how else can you know to be?), and you need to be cunning to do be hardworking (or how else can you get through it?).

Sometimes you need to be brave to be find knowledge (or how else can you be sure you're right?), you need to be loyal to be clever (or how else can you use it to protect?), and you need to be cunning to be intelligence (or how else can you use it?).

Sometimes you need to be brave to be cunning (or how else can you risk the fact that you might fail?), you need to have loyal to be ambitious (or how else can you stick to your dreams?), and you need to have knowledge to be resourceful (or how else can you know when to be?).

Some other thing's about me you might be curious about from that page. (Reading through it, I've really how much I've changed.)

I am remarkably lax in my pairings, though I do have one's that I prefer more than others. What I care about if the stories I'm reading fit my standards with plot, spelling, and grammar, rather than the pairing that I happen to like in the moment. I do draw the line at incest however if it's shown as perfectly fine. I can read it though if it's shown as sick and messed-up, and at least one person doesn't want to do it, but is forced to do by the other person or by someone close to them. And even then I don't really read it if that's the whole story unless it's a one-shot.

The one pairing that I can't stand anyone contradicting in Scorpius/Lily Luna. They only way I could stand contradiction is if I changed the parents pairing. And even then I must admit I find something appealing about Harry's son or daughter with Draco's son or daughter. (Provided it's not girl!Harry or girl!Draco and then it's just Draco and Harry's son or daughter.)

That reminds me. I can read all het pairings, but I can't read any incest or bestiality pairings. All slash or femmeslash I can read, excluding Harry slash. I don't know why, it's just some reason I can't see Harry as gay. Probably because the books are written in his point of view, so it me if Jo wanted him gay she would have made him (well, probably wouldn't have, but you get my point). I also don't like Harry/Ginny, George/Angelina, and Remus/Tonks and the only fics I can handle reading them in is if it's about their children, and the only one I could see lasting is Remus/Tonks. I think Harry/Ginny and George/Angelina would crash and burn eventually.

I do have my pairings "groups" though and here they are. (Bolded ones are the ones that unless in the specific group or are contradicted by one of my stories you should just take for granted that that's what they are in all my stories excluding the ones in Next Gen before Next Gen.) (Did that even make sense?)

(I'm actually changed my mind about George/Angelina, at least I don't mind it and I don't think it will fail, so maybe there's hope for the other pairings. :))

Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Ron/Luna, Neville/Lavender, Bill/Tonks, Charlie/Katie, Percy/Fleur, George/Cho, Dudley/Pansy, Seamus/Parvati

Harry/Luna, Ron/Daphne, Draco/Pansy, Angelina/Ginny, Neville/Cho, Charlie/Hermione, Seamus/Dean

George/Hermione, Dean/Luna, Ron/Draco, Harry/Fleur, Neville/Pansy, Oliver/Ginny, Percy/Cho

Ron/Hermione, Seamus/Ginny, Harry/Luna, George/Lavender, Fred/Hannah, Neville/Daphne, Charlie/Tonks, Percy/Marietta

girl!Harry/Percy, Lavender/Pansy, Theodore/Ron, Draco/Hermione, Neville/Luna, Blaise/Ginny, Severus/Tonks, Charlie/Fleur, Dudley/Cho

Lily/Scorpius, Roxanne/Lysander, Dominique/Neville, Teddy/Victoire, Molly/Lorcan

Lily/James, Remus/Sirius, Arthur/Molly, Lucius/Narcissa, Emmeline/Hestia, Frank/Alice

(I like pairings. I go a little overboard, and I don't ship as much as I do anymore, but I still like most of these and I want them on my profile.)

My favorite character would actually have to be a tie between James and Ron. Severus, Lucius, Remus, Regulus, Hermione, Harry, Neville, Luna, Cedric, George, Pansy, Lavender, Fleur, and Percy are not far behind, but not necessarily in the order. I hate bashing and have stopped reading many good stories because they crossed the line of making a character a butt monkey that they want you to feel sorry for into a person that they want you to hate. In fact, half the people on my favorite characters list are not from stories making them good, but too many making them bad. By that same level, I applauded people who help character's make a journey to become a better character so long as they make it believable and interesting. Though I must confess that for some reason I don't like Rose Weasley, though I try not to let that come across in my stories.

I see a few things different to canon such as birthdays, eye colors, and the shade of people’s hair that will be in my stories, but will not be the main thing about them, just that instead of hazel eyes, James has blue. In fact the full list is I see James is having blue eyes and Remus having hazel, Ron having brown and Ginny having blue, Hermione has gray and Percy has brown. Ron's hair is just a few shades darker than the rest of his family. As for birthdays, James is September 19, 1959, Percy's is March 27, 1976, and Hermione's is August 22, 1980. (I have the weirdest thing that I'm okay with Hermione being older than Draco or Ron or Neville, but I like Harry being older than her. I really don't know why.) I would appreciate it if you wouldn't stop reading my stories because of it, but I understand if you do.

I am going to admit something that might very possibly get me killed, but oh well. I like the fact that Fred died. I think it showed perfectly how war not only takes away the old and the morally ambiguous, but the twenty year, one month, one day old. It takes away the person that makes you smile and laugh, the person that makes you feel happy. Of course, I cried when Fred died, I'm not completely heartless, but I think it was good of Jo to kill him. I'm crying right now typing this. In all my stories though that make it to that year, Fred is going to die. I solemnly swear.

(I'm surprised how much I still agree with. The middle paragraph makes me laugh, but it also hasn't changed. What does that say about me?)
