Greek mythology nut! Woot! Currently doing a double major of Classical Studies and English Literature, with a minor in Deaf Studies, at Victoria Uni in Wellington, New Zealand. Member of the SCA, and enjoying every minute of it! Also, I have many useless talents, including being able to quote from any book/movie/dvd that I have ever seen or read. Comes in handy every now and then. : )


HP-wise, my favourite 'ships are L/J, R/Hr, H/G and RL/NT. Marauder era is my home. I love it. So far, I prefer Brisingr over Eragon, although all three are fantastic books. Can't wait for the fourth! LOTR-wise, Aragorn is my man, although Pippin does have his moments! : ) Love, love, love The Twilight Saga, although Edward really annoys me in New Moon. I'm totally on the Edward bandwagon. It's quite sad how much I'm on that wagon. *grins*


I love chatting to people about their stories or my own, so feel free to drop me and email or a message, especially if it's just for a natter. : ) Til whenever, Corryn.


To err is human, to arr! is pirate!

Sirius Black’s last will and testament is sanctioned during the summer prior to Harry’s sixth year. Harry wins his freedom from the Dursleys, but freedom is sometimes an illusion and never comes without cost.  Many of JKR’s minor characters join the usual suspects in the foreground, in this dialogue-heavy epic tale of sons and daughters rebelling against  parents, followers rebelling against leaders, authority figures bumbling, governments crumbling, walls between worlds tumbling, and heroes rebelling against their fates.  Spans sixth and seventh years, and beyond.  Post-OotP; some elements of HBP are incorporated (in AU fashion).

Great story. Excellent dialogue, well thought out plotline, beautiful delivery. A reader gets totally caught up in the tale, not even realising that time is passing until flatmates are yelling at them to get off the internet so they can use the phone. *grins* I like everything about this, I really do. Can't wait to read more.

When the Cullen's move to a new town to start over again, life isn't as perfect as they think. Bella struggles to control new, unwanted powers and Renesmee has to fend off hormonal human boys. Will life ever be the same again? (10 years post BD)

The sheer force of these unblocked memories sent me reeling with wonder.

Edward finally gets what he's always wished for: A peek into Bella's mind.  The last three pages of Breaking Dawn told from Edward’s point of view. Edward/Bella fluff.  Winner of the "Most Romantic" category at the Twilight Awards.

Squee! That was so, so, SO good. Loved every bit. No wonder it won! By a landslide, I should think! Kudos, you fantabulous writer you!



Author's Response:

*blush*

Thanks!  This was such an Edward scene in the book, that it just had to be told from his perspective!




Chapter 1: In Loving Memories

"If anyone asked me, years later, who my best friend from high school was, I would have responded instantly, with absolute certainty, that her name was Isabella Marie Swan."

 

 

Not everyone in the Twilight Saga lived forever…

One-shot. Angela P.O.V. on her life in Forks. Angela Weber sees Bella Cullen just one more time.

I'd review even without the chocolate. And anyone who knows me knows what a chocolate whore I am, so . . . : ) Really good story. I don't usually go for first person POVs, but I'm glad I did this time. It was a really good read, and I hope to read more from you soon!



Author's Response:

Thanks again!  I love Angela.  She really doesn't get much attention in the Saga, but I wanted to give her the closure she deserved.  Glad you enjoyed this one too! x

Man that was fun! Even though it was short. *glares* I enjoyed it muchly!



Author's Response: I'm really, really, really bad at writing sports. I was never able to get Quidditch right and I didn't want to botch the baseball game. I may try to do a companion piece later though.

A few years after the end of Breaking Dawn, Rosalie has an announcement to make. Not everyone is thrilled by what she has to say…

 

E/B pointless fluff. Post-BD. Canon pairings.

Edward Cullen has many stories to tell, but not everyone can tell them for him. Here are three women who can: Elizabeth Masen, Esme Platt and Isabella Swan. Why? They see things through a mother’s eyes.

The progression of Edward's character, told through the eyes of the mothers in his life - Elizabeth, Esme and finally, Bella.

Brilliant. I really, really enjoyed that. Your writing was heartfelt, emotional and beautifully portrayed.



Author's Response:

Thanks.  I was kind of nervous about writing from a mother's perspective, but Stephenie's characters make it too easy!
