Islander, you're in North Carolina? It's rare to find people so close to where one is. That's pretty neat.

Welcome, new people!

Hop on down to Randomness...

Name: It's boring. Maybe I'll tell you someday. Call me Alcy. :)

Age: 13

Location: Canada

Favourite Character: Ooh, tricky... Fred and George... no wait! Ron... no wait! Hermione... no wait! Bellatrix... no wait! Hagrid... no wait! Lupin... see this is tricky. But I guess, currently... Fred.

Favourite Ship: Ron/Hermione, or James/Lily. Draco/Harry makes me laugh.

Least Favourite Ship: Sirius/Harry... WTF? Harry/Hermione. Also, any pairing with Snape, except for Lily.

Gender: Feminine :)

3 Random Facts:

- I was born in the Netherlands

- I'm pretty shy. It takes me a while to get to know people

- Being a Canadian, the British language in HP makes me laugh with delight. The first time Ron said "ruddy hell", I fell in love.

Age: 17

Location: Florida

Favourite Character: Remus

Favourite Ship: Ron/Draco

3 Random Facts:

1. I'm starting college this year

3. I love soap operas

Sorry, I'm new here so please tell me if I'm doing something horribly wrong!

Name: Chips

Age: Teenage

Location: The USA, in the kind of almost south region

Favorite Character: Wow, this is a surprisingly hard question. I'm going to have to go with Ron and Lupin, but I've been kind of obsessing over Draco, Regulus and the Black sisters lately.

Favorite Ship: I have many, but Ron/Hermione was my first ship (by the way, who thought of using the word ship?)

Least Favorite Ship: Any 'Waitwhut?' pairings like Harry/Voldemort, and I don't really like slash, sorry if that offends anyone!

Gender: Female

3 Random Facts:

1. My math teacher told me that when I grow up, I'm probably going to run the mafia. I took that as an extreme compliment.

2. When I was little I used to think that Canada was just a really large state. Any Canadians are now free to smother me to death with their overly delicious maple syrup.

3. My friend once tricked me and told me that she got her Hogwarts acceptence letter (we were 8 years old, too). I was jealous of her for a week, until she got bored of it and told me that she was joking.

Age: College Freshman!

Holy crap. Was there just not a whole hell of a lot on TV back in 1990? There are like fourty billion RL and SU types starting college right now.

Randomness is that-a-way. Enjoy.

Was there just not a whole hell of a lot on TV back in 1990?

Huh. Turns out there wasn't. Northern Exposure, Wings and Twin Peaks were the only decent new shows that year. Plus what - Murphy Brown, Star Trek TNG, Rosanne, Married... With Children? That was about it, actually. Well, we know what folks were doing instead, apparently.

Ugh, thinking about my parents like that is just... ew. Why, Christopher, why?!

Don't you love it when questions answer themselves like that? *cue evil laugh*

I recently counted back 9 months, realizing I was probably an "after-turkey-thanksgiving-desert." Yay.

I will now go direct my random comments to randomness.

I was a Christmas baby. As is my middle kid. (Well, Boxing Day in her case.)

When she was born nearly 16 years ago (help!) at the end of September, all the delivery rooms at the hospital were full, and they were delivering babies in the tiny admission rooms.

I wonder if there is a documented high in the birth rate at the end of September?

3 Random Facts:

2. When I was 6 or 7, I wrote letters to Harry :)

3. I'm sometimes obsessed with smut, but have to hide it so my parents won't see :)

Hi, Sober Universe. My official business name is Polar Deer. If you're as obsessed with your traffic as I am you'll probably figure out where I'm at once I review one of your works. I'm not sure which HP character is my favorite. I'm more fond of the HP universe itself than any of its characters, though I like them all.

Ships, too, don't have any particular appeal to me. I suspect I enjoy writing romance less than Rowling does. Actually, I really liked the idea of Filch and Pince together. That was sweet. I like Percy and the twins as a pair (um, trio). Not as a couple of course, just the gang of them. I guess that's not a ship, but it's the next best thing, if not even better.

Obviously, I'm a guy. I hope that's obvious. Here are three random facts about mules and their superior combat ability, music and automobiles in the Americas and the inevitability of a successful political coup and enslavement of man in Australia.

- The US has never lost a war in which mules were used.

- The American car horn beeps in the tone of F.

- The Australian population of 20million is outnumbered, by 100%, by kangaroos.

Thank you, sir. Your "I Never" has been posted.

Enjoy :)

Age: I'm in High School

Location: A place that only people who are Pennsylvania Dutch pronounce write.

Favourite Character: Probably Percy. I'm not really sure why.

Favourite Ship: Percy/Audrey (I like the creative freedom you can have with Audrey. You don't really have to worry if you are making her characterization right, because all you know about her is her name.)

Least Favourite Ship: Harry/Draco I don't like slash (sorry if anyone gets offended.

Gender: Female

3 Random Facts:

1. Most of the poetry I write involves death. My therapist, a.k.a my dad, is trying to figure out why.

3. I like to argue. My parents want me to become a lawyer when I'm older

Hello,

My name is Katie, also known as ChoCedric around here on fanfiction.net. I am 23 years old and am absolutely, completely, utterly, totally obsessed with Harry Potter, and I have written a whole bunch of stories to prove it!

I live in New Jersey, and am originally from England. I first got into the Potter books in 1999. My favorite characters are Cho, Cedric, and Sirius. My favorite, and the most tragic, relationship in the entire series is that between Cho and Cedric. Whole and happy just to be torn apart..... how horrible. I would absolutely hate to be in Cho's situation.

I am also totally blind, but think it's really cool! I love learning things in a new way, and I love sharing things with all of you folks! Please, have a read of my stories, I hope you'll think they're good. I wholeheartedly beg for reviews, some of my stories desperately need reviewing! But even the ones who already have a lot, I'd always like more!

J.K. Rowling is a genius. She has given us such a wonderful, rich, magical world to play around with. I think there were a few mistakes she made as well, but no author is perfect! I just appreciate the fact that she gave us such a wonderous place to go with our imaginations. I really have to thank her for making Harry Potter such a part of my life.

It's so nice to meet you all!

Best wishes,

ChoCedric

Hi Katie, welcome to the forum!

My name is Dejsha, and I am also blind. Do you useJaws?

:) come and join us in Randomness.

Name: Innie (Not real name ^^)

Age: 15

Location: U.S.A.

Favourite Character: Fred and George

Favourite Ship: Er, Rose/Scorpius orFre/Angeline or Ernie/Hannah... maybe even Luna/Neville or Harry... and Cho/Cedric

Least Favourite Ship: Lily Luna/Scorpius or George/Angelina...

Gender: girl

3 Random Facts:

1. I've been reading Harry Potter since the grand age of 7.

2. I honestly expected to get a letter to Hogwarts at the age of 11, and I thought my parents had magically transformed our newspapers from the Daily Prophet into them...

3. writing is an art of it's own. I don't need to be good at the real artsy stuff when I enjoy writing.

Hi and welcome Innie!

I'm totally with you on George and Angelina!

Name: Evee

Age: 18

Location: None, permanently, but Ireland ATM

Favourite Character: Will you label me stereotypical if I answer Hermione?

Favourite Ship: I actually don't really have one...

Least Favourite Ship: Harry/Sirius

Sex: Female

3 Random Facts:

1. My little sister has a dog called Reggie, but I just call him Puppy and he answers to it.

2. I once went two weeks without brushing my teeth and am NOT anxious to repeat the experiment

3. (For want of a more interesting fact) I have Celiac's disease--I can't eat wheat, rye or barley.

So that's me. My approach to the Harry Potter Universe is that JKRowling created an awesome world and then did weird things with it that I don't like. I wish books 5-7 weren't cannon, but I certainly don't accept as cannon anything not printed in the British books. I still use the outside material for inspiration sometimes, though. Can I still be here? :)

Will you label me stereotypical if I answer Hermione?

Nope. It makes you one of the cool kids.

Hi and welcome.

I still use the outside material for inspiration sometimes, though.

Also acceptable on occassion. ;-)
