Hi! I'm vanilla parchment of the fan fiction side of this site. After much consideration, I've finally decided to brave the forums, and I'm excited to be able to communicate with other shippers like me! I've lurked here for a while, and I really love the discussions-- even the utterly ridiculous ones. And of course, the cool smilies are always a plus. So... yeah. Just wanted to introduce myself!
Hoping to hear from all of you!

Hi VP, welcome to the forum. It's nowhere near as active before but there's still plenty of good discussions to be read and new friends to be made. Have fun!

Hello, Vanilla Parchment!

Welcome to the forum side of Portkey. It'll be fantastic having you here to talk about things with us! Check it all out, and you know, there's a H/Hr challenge forum here, too. There might be a challenge or two you might want to take up.
*hint hint*

Anyway, welcome, and have a cauldron full of fun while you're here!

Hello there, love your fics and glad to see you joining the forums

Thanks for the kind welcome, strawberry_nerd! Glad you like my fics. Though I'm quite certain I'm going to be at a bit of a loss in this forum for at least a while.

Thanks! I'll have a peek in the Challenge Section, although I shouldn't... with school coming to a furious peak, I've been studying in almost all of my free time. And with Rhythms and That Old House in the works, I'm not sure I should distract myself! But you know, with me, things like that happen anyway...



Thanks very much, gal-texter! I realize that the forums aren't really as active as they were before the end of the series, but as you said, there's plenty to be discussed still! I can't wait to start!

Hi there VP!
Welcome to the forums I'm Becky.
It's always lovely to meet the people behind the fanfics- you might be interested in the challenges/fanfic threads within the various ships forums if you want to take a look...
Hope you have fun here!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I'll be more than happy to help

Thank you very much, Bec! I'm quite excited about being here! It's awesome to meet other authors and visit with other shippers that I recognize from the fan fic side... so much fun!

As a fellow fan fic author, welcome to the forum side of the site.

Hey there VP!

Welcome to the forum side! And like you said and Pen said there are still people to meet and discussions to see Welcome and I hope you stick around - hehe I absolutely understand the crunch of the end of the year. I'm dreading what it will be like next year for me. Eeep! Hope you manage to keep that balanced but do pop in the Challenge forum if you visit - I always find it fun to even just read over some of the old ones

Hey! At the moment, I am beating myself over the head with the impossibly annoying slogan, "You should be studying, you should be studying!" But, my goodness, summer is practically here already. Grr...
Anyway, thank you for the warm welcome! I've already responded to a challenge (which I shouldn't have: distraction!) and (hooray!) found a beta. Not bad, considering that finals are looming.

Good job! Hehe but take some time to study when you need it. Do I know the consequences on not procrastinating. Actually I'm doing it right now *sighs* What can you do? I'm holding on to the hope the beautiful glimmering hope of summer in a few weeks and AHHH finally we'll have TIME and a LIFE! Good luck on your finals!

Hey, I know you! You reviewed on one of my stories! Thanks for that by the way! Anyways, welcome to the forum side of portkey! It's really fun chatting about different opinions on H/hr and such. Hope you have a great time!

Hey, it's my J/L friend! I'm glad I reviewed your story; now I'm actually reading J/L fics! (I don't know if I have the talent to write them, though!) thanks for the welcome and keep on with writing!

Yayness! i got you to read J/L stories! Don'y worry, I bet you'll write AWESOME J/L fanfics! I'll keep on writing if you will!

Is that a bribe? All right, deal! *wanders off to dig through old hard drives and returns* Wow. Would you believe that the second fic I attempted was a J/L? I'm not sure if I should be horrified or amused. The writing is awful! Did I hit my head or something? Hmm... I'll have to check the J/L challenge section. Maybe there's something for me there. I think I should win the award for the author who is most easily distracted.

Hehe whatever you want. Ack, don't worry, I found a really random story that I wrote a long time ago, and I nearly puked as I read it. It. Was. HORRIBLE! i couldn't believe I used to write that bad! It's comforting knowing that we write much better nowadays isn't it? The J/L challange section is a good place for ideas so you're right to go there. Have fun!
