Only my fics and arts are public. Everything else are friend-locked.
This journal has actually been operating on that principle for a long time. Just thought I'd make it official. If you don't mind listening to my deepest, darkest secrets lenghthy RL rants and would like to be added, please leave a comment to introduce yourself. I'm pretty sure that nothing short of "I'm a spam-bot who is scheming to wreck you LJ" could prompt me into not friending you :)

* For each story, the first link (i.e. the title) will lead you to an entry on this journal. Alternative links are at the end. Please let me know if any of the links does not work or if it leads you to the wrong place. (Currently I’m still in the process of uploading art, so some art links may be temporarily unavailable.)
**As of 25 June 2012, I am no longer posting new stories to fanfiction.net. However, the stories that have already been posted will still remain, and their links are still provided here.
***These tags may include pimpages, rambles, etc. as well as fics and art.
Post the first sentence (or three) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!
If we take WIP as all that I’ve started but not yet finished, then it’ll be very :SSS (I have commitment issues, you see). So, I’m only posting the ones with which I really want to get some progress atm. This includes: 4 fics in the HP fandom, 1 fic in a fandom I’m thinking of joining, and 1 art project (in which case I'll take the title of the upcoming chapter).
And yes, I cheated. There are fics that get quoted more than once because I am in need of hyper-motivation right now! Anyway, we have first sentences of the stories (marked with ***) and first sentences of some chapters.
Please, please, please help me out! Ask me anything! Even ‘Can you give me a more interesting sentence?’ may motivate me to try and write that interesting sentence, really.
1. Part of Your World
2. ***No one can ever break her heart. Not even him.
3. ***‘Bloody h—’ ‘Granger, stop your expedition and return to London at once. Your funding has been cut.’ Hermione Granger mentally cursed Ludwig Leskien for ever inventing Howlers.
4. ‘Mr Malfoy, give me one reason why I shouldn’t curse you …’
5. *** Hermione groaned inwardly. It seemed that Madam Pomfrey did get her way after all. Save for a slightly cricked neck, Hermione had been well-rested, and consequently, missed all of her morning classes.
6. ‘You are the most infuriating woman on the planet.’ ‘I’m—’ She stopped short at his knowing smirk. Malfoy made a dramatic gesture at the other occupants in the room. Like she even needed thatHermione didn’t even need Malfoy gesturing her to look around the room to realise the problem. ‘Well, maybe I am…’
7. ***A deafening rumble of thunder jolted Hermione out of her sleep. She was vaguely aware that there was alsoof a distant voice shouting somewhere. Curling further into the comforting warmth of her blanket, she grumbled drowsily about the annoying thunderstorm and the delusion it usually caused to oneself.
8. ***She sighed and strode into her bedroom, only to be confronted with a wardrobe full of dresses. Ha, choices. It was the dilemma of life. She could only have one at a time.
9. Hermione looked up at the imposing gate of Malfoy Manor. It was no longer one looming black hulk she recalled from the night she’d been dragged here by the Snatchers. She could now see every twist and turn of the wrought iron.
10. Hermione froze at the scenesight before her. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Draco Malfoy hadn’t been seen in Britain for nearly three years now.
ETA: I've made some changes after Kandy's suggestions. It's a on-going process, so please do keep the suggestions coming.
Strike-through = deletion. Underline = insertion. How I wish LJ had track change!

(Written by Darkwinter999 from ff.net) Also archived on: Hawthorn & Vine, Granger Enchanted, The Manor, Pure Arrogance, and fanfiction.net AN: This fic was inspired by marmaladefever ’s Eight and Eighth. Therefore, I want to thank her for the great fic and for giving me permission to use some of her ideas from it.
A huge thank you to my betas, who have endured me and practically made this readable XD Aug 21, 2010: Just want to add a little bit of warning: This is still a WIP, and I’m currently on hiatus, which means no new chapter for the time being. There’ll definitely be updates in the future, though.
Genres: Adventure, Alternate Universe, Angst, Time Travel
Timeline: Canon compliant until the final battle in DH
Rating: MT
Warnings: Secondary Character Death, Strong Profanity
Disclaimer: I do not own nor claim the Harry Potter series, which belongs to J. K. Rowling.
Summary: People say that the first kiss is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but perhaps it’s not always true. An alternate ending to DH. Dramione Couple Remix Round 1 - Henry/Lucy (50 First Dates)
AN: So, I’m finally starting to post my story from Dramione Couple Remix Round 1. My assigned couple was Henry/Lucy from 50 First Dates. As you can see, the title is clearly influenced. However, the only plot element that this story shares with the original work is the multiple first kisses. Another source of my inspiration is Dramione Drabble’s 7 Kisses Challenge Valentine’s Day 2010 with this 7 prompts: first, dirtiest, bittersweet, public, forbidden, shy, and goodnight kiss respectively.
Although there will be various mentions and occurrences of character deaths, I can guarantee that it is not as bad as it sounds once you’ve seen the premise :)
The story contains, naturally, 7 parts and is currently being revised, but I’ll try my best to update quickly ;D
I want to send my thanks to dormiensa, elizpeace and mccargi for their brilliant beta/cheerleading; to callarose for the amazing playlist that has kept my Muse entertained throughout the creative process; and to the mods and my readers at dramione_remix for the wonderful support.
ETA: Revision is done, and now we have the full seven chapters. YAY!
