Bio:

I'm not really sure how long I've been writing. I write poetry, songs, fan fiction, and I'm trying to write fiction itself. If someone would be willing to give me help with my writing, I'd appreciate it. I'm still trying to learn.  I'm also trying to get new themes into my writing besides just romance.


I listen to many differnt music artists. I think I might be inspired by the music I listen to in a way.

Title: Chapter 1: The Introductions

This seems interesting. You're writing stlye is pretty good.



Author's Response: Thank you.  Hope it piques your interest long enough to keep you here...

Author's Response: Thank you for reading it...

Title: Chapter 7: Uh-Oh...

That was good. I wonder what is going happen next.

Title: Chapter 3: Twisted Taco's and Emotions

That was pretty good. I liked it. I don't think  you're punctuating your dialogue correctly.

Commas are used with speaking verbs.

Ex: "That was nice," he said.

Periods are used with actions.

Ex: "That was nice." She smiled up at him.

I'm not trying to offend you if you think I am. I'm just trying to help. You can ignore what I say if you want.



Author's Response: I'm not that easily offended.  I'm not a "trained" writer, I just write from the heart so I'm sure that there are some technical things that are incorrect, but nah, I'm not offended.  I appreciate the constructive criticisms.

Title: Chapter 3: Twisted Taco's and Emotions

I forgot to add to my review that for dialogue, you still use exclamation points, question marks, and other forms of punctuation.

Author's Response: Thanks for the constructive criticisms... I appreciate it...

Title: Chapter 14: Rehearsal Dinners and Punches

Wow. I didn't see that coming. I do wonder when exactly Ben got his ideas from if it wasn't from the rest of his family. That kind of makes me wonder. I am glad that he didn't though; it's good that the rest of the family is supportive of their relationship.

This chapter was fairly good. It was fairly written too. It looks like your formating thing got fixed, which is really good. Good job.

Title: Chapter 13: That was awkard...

That was interesting. Your formating does seem to be a little different at times and places, but I think it's okay.

Author's Response: I don't understand what you mean by that.  I normally just cut and paste.  Was it difficult to follow?

Title: Chapter 4: Chances Are...

That was really good. I liked it. I believe that's saying something considering that I don't really venture into Harry Potter fan fiction. (However, that's moostly because I hold it so dearly, and the fan fiction I've come across wasn't that....good.) Anyway, keep writing, and keep up the good work.(And Hyde's look is very intense. Haha)



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence. Honestly what got me started was just the fact that the poc characters hardly got any action time in the book and even less in the movies. I even read some where JK Rowling wrote a bigger role for Dean Thomas but it was cut out in editing by publishers (ain't that a...) but i digress. Like you I love/adore/ cherish the Harry Potter universe and I would never want to anything that would wreck it. I hope make you proud with the next chapter I'm cooking up as i write this response.

Thanks for the review Flicker and Sparkle :)

PS. About Hyde, yeah he's look is very intense I was surprised when I was able to find a picture to reflect him. lol
