1. I'm obsessed with the Beatles

2. I'm a hopeless romantic!

3. I have a friend who will just randomly say, "Cheese!" He's probably the scariest person you'll ever meet! xD

I'm not sure about scariest person....my friend likes to sing about cheesy pie and how she was once locked up in a big white room, with flowers! But then the bees came - she didn't like the bees. Bees make her crazy. Crazy? She was crazy once - they locked her up in a big white room, with flower!...

She's VERY scary.

-Kore

LOL!! I'm sure we all have very scary friends! (But then again, I myself am infinitely scary! So I can't blame my friends...I guess I rub off on them! xD)

(laughs) yep - we have a running joke about who caused the other to be insane....I swear it was SHE who corrupted ME! Not the other way around!

-Kore

My Alison is really scary. Well a bit of a goof. =D She's insane, while I'm a little weird, and my other friend is the sanest one out of all of us. XD But Alison dances round with maracas and sombreros like an insane teenager. xD

Wait - your insane friend is named 'Allison' too? That's just creepy!

She likes to up to random strangers and scare them with her insanity....she succeds.

-Kore

Haha, I have a friend who pretended to be a pedophile once afterschool and started following all the kids as they walked home, it was hilarious XD But then he followed one girl to her mums car and her mum looked really freaked out so he ran away :P Ah, he's craaazy XD

Alison. Only one L.

For some reason she's really quiet in lessons but besides that she's as crazy as well...a cowboy. or cowgirl for this matter.

Yikes! And I thought my friends were crazy....Megsy, yours takes the cake!

Sorry about the spelling Pinky....but maybe it's the variation of the name that makes them crazy? Alice of Wonderland was supposesedly psycotic....JK!

And what do you mean as crazy as a cowgirl?

-Kore

Haha, most of my friends are pretty wierd in their own way - including me! XD But it'd be pretty boring if everyone was "normal", wouldn't it?

Definitely agreed. Normal = boring!

3 random facts about you:

I believe that the continuing conflict between cat people and dog people is silly, counter-productive to our advancement as a global society, and MUST STOP NOW!

My favortite color is magenta.

Most seriously, I relate best to Remus Lupin of all the HP characters because I too am chronically ill and have some small grasp on what it means to function within a climate that views such a perceived deficiency with disapproval, no matter what else a person has to offer.

Hiya Tracy! Welcome to HPFC, I hope you find it friendly and...welcoming, here? XD Hope you participate in some of the challenges we have to offer :D

I agree about the dog and cat thing! I prefer dogs myself, but I don't go parading around saying that cats are dumb and annoying, how pointless is that? Dogs are pretty cool though ;) You're chronically ill? I'm sorry to here that :S I hope you enjoy yourself here anyway =]

Name: Jillie Bean, you can call me Jillie (I use to be ravenclawgirl88, but was never really crazy about that name to begin with. While I'm still not crazy about my new penname, I can at least stand to look at it now XD )

Age: 19

Location: US

Why are you here?: I want to challenge and be challenged! (Hopefully) : )

3 random facts about you:

1) No one knows that I write or read fanfiction. I just never bothered to tell anyone.

2) I have three cats and two dogs.

3) I have everything from metal to country in my music collection. I love basically all music!

Welcome! Funny, my whole family knows I read and write fanfiction as I can't stop talking about it...my sister has visibly threatened me several times because of this!

Have fun here! -Kore

Yeah, I think about fanfics I'm writing or read to the point of obsession, but strangely enough I never really bothered to mention it to my family. They probably know that I'm writing something since I am at it so often and I wouldn't mind if they did find out. I imagine that if I talked about fanfics as much as I thought about them I would be threatened several times over by my sister too! : )

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Hi Raven! Welcome to our forum - hope you have fun here :D

Meh, a couple of my friends no I write fanfiction, but only those who write it themselves too. My family often sees me writing in my notebooks, but I don't let them read it XD

Yeah, I'm the only one of my friends who writes fanfiction or is obsessed with HP, so I just figured they wouldn't care to know about it. I'm the same way with my family too; for some reason I can be a bit secretive about my fics XD

Thanks for the welcome!

My mum doesn't even know I write fics.

Hey everyone! I'm Pinky.

Black Arts....- xD lol my mum's obsessed with her blog.

Name: Crina, or IRL Saana

Age: Since no one else is telling... :D

Location: Finland

Why am I here?: To get challenges

3 random facts about me:

* I have a cat and a dog, and when I was very little I also had a rabbit whose name was Pörrö (=fluffy), but I called it Pöllö (=an owl), because I couldn't say r.

* I cry every time I watch Cold Case.

* I'm obsessed with names.

Hey Crina! Welcome to HPFC!

Finland? Wow that's neat! Is English your second language then? I would never have guessed from reading your fics...

I love names!! I've spent days going through sites like 'Behind the Name' or low-chen's site.

Yes, English is my second language, but I've studied it about a half of my life (which reminds me - I have an English test tomorrow).

BtN is one of my favourite sites - I registered a year and a half ago and I've been little, happy name nerd ever since.

Hola/bonjour Crina! Welcome to HPFC!

I love names too--the names in my original stories and fics usually mean something. Or they're named after someone.

I love how in HP the names all mean something. Like Draco means dragon, etc. I love that! xD

Welcome Crina :D

I like names too! Especially unusual ones. I used to play the Sims 2 loads, and I'd go searching on baby name sites for really cool names to give them. XD I also like making up names, that's awesome ^.^

That's awesome and funny Megsy. I like the baby names books.

Name: Bandoth of course. Why would you need to ask?

Age: Who knows? Younger than many and wiser than most, that is, if wisdom can be measured and I don't contradict myself by sounding arrogant. Hm... perhaps I should just be quiet. I sense this is a wise decision.

Location: Now just looking at my age, you probably could guess that I am American. Or am I?

Why I am here: I am here on fanfiction.net because I love to read Harry Potter stories. I am here here because I felt it would be nice to introduce myself. I am here because I have a few intricate ideas for fiction that I could never write myself. And I am Here Here because I was born. Still able to hear? Or has it lost all meaning already?

3 Random facts about me: If you don't follow me right away, you'll get lost. My wittiest comments come when I am mentally exhausted. I can prove you don't exist.

Welcome Bandoth to our forum! I've already seen you posted a challenge - sounds terribly interesting though not something I'd write...I've an idea for a time-travel fic in my head that revolves around Ron Weasely...he's so under-appreciated!

Erm, good luck with your challenge and again, welcome to the forum!

...Basically what Kore said XD Welcome!

Hey! X) We exist. We're not paedophiles.

I'm a real person. You can ask my friend Heart4Happiness because she lives a few streets away from me.

...............

um....welcome! XD

You exist? Indeed? Well, allow me to enlighten you with the teachings of Mr. Douglas Adams.

The universe is infinite. Therefore, the area of the universe is infinite. This also means there are an infinite number of planets in the universe. However, not all planets are populated. Thus, the number of inhabited planets is a finite number. Since the number of inhabited planets divided by the area of the universe is so close to zero that it makes no odds (as any finite number divided by infinity is literally one divided by infinity), the population density of the universe is zero, meaning anyone you happen to meet is just a figment of your demented imagination.

Hitchhiker's Guide, you are a life saver!

Thanks for the welcome. If I can get someone interested in that challenge I can expand on it thoroughly. Just drop me a PM if you want the full idea. Maybe if I get it out of my head I'll have some peace and maybe another idea or two... Over half a year is a very long time to dwell on one story...

Yeah we exist! *huffs* if I wasn't how would I be able to type.

=) Welcome welcome!

You know I have a convincing argument for whichever Greek philosopher's "I think therefore I am"

Welcome!!

Just occurred to me I haven't actually put my intro up yet =P
