Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

This is THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to Harry Potter fanfictions. Here, you will learn the dos and don'ts of the wizarding world, and how to handle your fanfiction in a way worthy of Rowling herself. You can learn to avoid cliches, think creatively, and make your readers forget they're reading a fanfiction at all, which is the goal. Hi, I'm Ellie, and I may not be JKR, and my word is not law, I have quite a bit of experience writing fanfiction. I will be the first to admit, too, that some of my earlier works are as cliche as Harry Potter having a twin sister, and there's no shame in that! Just be glad you can learn from your mistakes, and mine, and be prepared for a couple of laughs along the way! Warning: This is NOT a rant book. I don't just say what I think is wrong with fanfics, I give suggestions to make them better. Very rarely will I let my emotions control what I'm writing in this book. Feel free to rant within the comments, but don't expect me to do the same!

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

The Daily Prophet Issue No. 101,770 3 July 2021 Lestrange: Model or Menace? After recent events at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it should not surprise readers to find Miss Astra Lestrange making the news once more. Where newsworthy trouble at Hogwarts brews, the little "heroine" never seems to be far. This alone has caused many at this paper to scratch their heads, but now there's call for more than that. As hype over the attack had died down, Lestrange has come up with more and more outlandish tales of what she claims happened to her that night, including madmen that no one has heard of and a much more subversive agenda behind the known terrorists', the Predatels, cause than evidence points to (an agenda that features her as a prominent part, it should be noted). We at the Prophet have found this a disturbing development, leaving many to wonder if there's more to Astra Lestrange than her do-gooder facade... ~~~~ Made out to be a liar and danger by the media, Astra Lestrange's credibility has dropped to exactly zero in the eyes of the public. She's left helpless, fighting a seemingly impossible battle against the Ministry of Magic. Harry Potter is on her side, of course, but that has left him on shaky ground with the Ministry. He's had to resort to outside means to stop Caymus Stillens, but even that seems to be a losing battle. Even without her fall from grace, Astra would have had a tough year in store. On top of her OWLs, a new rival in Eris Prince, and a controversial new member on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Astra escaped from Stillens last year. And no one escapes from Caymus Stillens with their life. At least, not for long. As the year progresses and her fight with the Ministry is overshadowed by a fight for her life, Astra begins to suspect that all is not well inside Hogwarts. Could it be that she's been betrayed again? Started: 2/25/17 Ended: 4/21/18

To top it all off, she has to earn her keep by taking care of her friends' best man's cat. Vika's their maid of honour, so she can't exactly say no to such a simple request, especially when the best man in question is the drop-dead gorgeous Noel. Soon, sparks fly between Noel and Vika, but their chemistry is put to the test as wedding duties get underway. Can they keep the fire burning long enough not to make a scene at their friends' wedding? [[word count: 60,000-70,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro
