~~~~~~ ABOUT "MORDRED" ~~~~~~

My pen name is Mordred. I'm a girl that lives in America, and I live for writing. I write short stories for a writing journal, and I'm trying fanfiction for the second time in my life. And so far, it's been fun. Love America. Love life. Also, I like Harry Potter (and more importantly, The Marauders' story.) I also am a huge King Arthur fanatic, hence the name "Mordred." Mordred was the son of Arthur, who came back to claim the throne. In other words, the all around villain of the saga. Great character, even if he was a little . . . er . . . evil? Galahad, Lancelot, and Merlin are my other favorite characters. Other different boards that you may find me floating in and out of are: Charles Dickens, Gangs of New York, Peter Pan, and Fairy Tales. I am in LOVE with Dickens, and Peter Pan holds a very special place in my heart. I also love hanging out with my friends, acting, singing, and most of all . . . having fun!
Below you can find a little blurb about my stories to give you a sort of taste of them before you start to read it. Or before you decide not to read it, whichever one you want. I really am very grateful for everything that everyone's written to me. Thank you so much for your support. Kudos to you!

SUMMARY: Started in August of 2003 as a bedtime story for my little brothers, this story has become a great joy in my life. It is the saga of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs in a way you will never see them again. Based on the concepts and characters of J.K. Rowling, this epic follows four boys from the first day of school to their untimely death. This tragedy is brought to life through sorrow, happiness, and the never ending spirit of hope.

REVIEWS:

"My first thoughts were skeptical, since your story, or novel, I should say, was 118 chapters long, and had received 1475 reviews. This made me think it was one of those stupid, angsty things that culminates in a decade long sappy love story. But I read your author's note, and found that your views were like mine, and much to my liking. I also found that your story was very good, and I almost cried on the first chapter!" -stmaryspeakstofaeries

"It was so wonderful! You did a very good job on it, and stuck with the books almost perfectly!" - dragontemper3

"It has touched me in many ways, and shown me the true friendship The Marauders had." - Vivian

"I absolutly loved this story. It has to be one of the best pieces written here! Your writing expressed all their feelings so clearly and it made me feel the emotions, almost as if I were them." - blood red stain

"I really don't know how to describe Forever Alive. It's just...incredible. You put amazing depth into your characters. This was like reading something by JKR herself, except...well, better." - Velvet Skies

(COMPLETED)

*PRIDE AND FEAR (August, 2004 - ______)*
UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 6, 2004

SUMMARY: A spin-off of "Forever Alive," "Pride and Fear" delves deep into the heart of one of the most hated and despised characters to date: Severus Snape. Yet there is a new story to be told. A much darker one than James knew. A more saddening one than Sirius found. And a much more painful one than Remus felt.

QUOTES:

"See, you have to understand something: Severus has this obsession with James Potter. Hates his lot, he does."
- Lucius Malfoy

"We all saw you! Bet it was the most exciting moment of your life, getting told you could be one of Voldemort's goons, you little greaseball."
- Sirius Black

"The question is not whether or not you are doing the right thing, Severus. The question truly is whether or not you believe it is the right thing."
- Albus Dumbledore

"I was born a villian. James Potter was born a hero. It is the way of the world."
- Severus Snape

REVIEWS:

"Forever Alive was amazing, and I already think Pride and Fear will be the same." - Velvet Skies

"Mordred you have done it again. First it was with "Forever Alive" now you are doing it with "Pride and Fear." I consider you one of the best fan fiction authors on this website and you have proven me right with this latest installment." - Sirius Black 161
