fan fiction actually made Amy (The Private Eye) and I become best friends! lol we were ya know, "friends" before it, but we didn't really talk much, and we didn't like hang out and stuff. Then we started talking about HP and I asked her if she'd ever read a fan fic, she said no, so i sent her the link for the fic i was reading (a DG lol started out her ship early on). It was called "Cruel: Heart and Soul" OH GOSH that fic was amazing. BY far my favorite out of everything I've read. It was one of the first I read too, which gave me VERY high standards. ANYWAYS. So she started reading fics, and I started reading fics (I'd only been reading them a few days before I told her about them) and pretty soon, we were best friends! i'd go over there and we'd talk about fan fiction or write fanfiction 24/7 lmao. it's still that way. we actually started a joint fic! LMAO
so yeah, fan fiction is a pretty big part of my life! lmao i'm either talking about it, writing it, or reading it, all day

Do you still have a link to that story? It sounds really good and it's a D/G I haven't read before! *gasps* I'd be on fanfiction.net more, but it seems that the D/G fics on there have gone down in quality. There a repeated plot lines, stories decorated with web speak, and the rather common OOCness. I've found better quality fics at fiction alley and port key. That's exactly how I am... unfortunately most of my friends aren't as in to fanfiction as I am (well, Mary is, but she's a Harry/Ginny shipper, and therefore doesn't want to hear about the latest Draco/Ginny fic I read). Lately I've been doing more reading than writing

lol- i stopped surfing for fanfiction for that reason. I had my head too full of other peoples ideas to write my own, and then I'd run across a fic really similar to mine and it would be way better and I would get too discouraged to go on... it took a lot of head clearing to get back into the writing swing again.

www.fanfiction.net/s/877674/1/ <<<That's the link to Cruel: Heart and Soul. It was actually one of the first stories I read and I thought it was amazing. I've seen a lot since with a similar story line, but never one written this good. I'm sure The Private Eye would recommend it too. I told her to read it, and she loved it. It's hard to find stories that HAVEN'T been done anymore, but i think now, with book 6 out and gone, it'll be a whole new project for everyone. i know i can't wait to finish mine and start some more

LOL I know Tiffins, isn't it weird how Harry Potter Fan Fiction brought us together?! Now we're planning on spending days at my house writing on our joint fic...it's crazy cool And My fics that I write, I try not to use an already used idea...and I think I've succeeded so far (Except with Dragon eyes, but it was my first step into fanfics lol) I LOOOOOVED CRUEL: HEART AND SOUL!! I also loved MASQUERADE and some other REALLY GOOD d/g's in my Fanfiction C2 Archive. I don't have a direct link to it right now but if you want it, ask! Another really good D/G I'm reading ( I think FrogsOfChocolate has been readin on it too, cause I saw her name in the reviews once ) it's called Ginny Weasley and the Curse of the Firstborn...aaah it's not done or even close but it's SO FREAKIN GOOD...it's perfect...I love it..lol I could tlak about stuff like this all day!!! One fic that made me SO MAD was "while you were sleeping"..that story is SO DARN GOOD and she never finished it...she updated a long time ago and me and tiff jumped for joy...but the euphoric feeling was short lived, cause she hasn't updated again since.
