Who am I? Can anyone really answer that question? I don't know who I am. I'm undefined.

What am I into? My biggest, but by no means only, passion is HP fanfics. My interests are many and varied, and my posts reflect my diversity.

Will our interests correspond? Only you can answer that question. Or will you, like myself, remain undefined?

  Favourite long story (5,001 words or more) Once again, I find myself completely unable to choose just one story in answer to this question. Hell, I can’t even choose just one fandom. Considering I have hundreds of favourites saved on… Read More ›

• Been Sick

  By RachelUndefined on April 9, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I’ve been quite unwell the past week. I’ve barely been able to muster the energy to read fan-fiction let alone compose blog posts. Even my fiction writing has suffered and, as anyone who knows me would tell you, that’s really… Read More ›

  Favourite medium length story (1,501 – 5,000 words) Sometimes a short short story (< 1,500 words) just isn’t enough, but there isn’t time to read a long chapter story. That’s where short stories (1,500 – 5,000 words) come in handy…. Read More ›

  Over-used trope that you love to read anyway Many tropes become so popular that they are overused to the point of becoming cliché. When that happens a lot of fans stop reading those stories, thinking ‘if you’ve read one, you’ve… Read More ›

  Favourite fanfic author As usual, I find myself unable to choose just one answer to today’s question. Having looked through my favourite fanfics, by which I mean those that I read again and again and yet again, I find that… Read More ›

  Favourite short story (1,500 words or less) While I love to read longer, novel-length, stories, that does not mean that I eschew short one-shots. In fact, sometimes a short story can have more power, emotion and impact than a longer… Read More ›

  Favourite story series For the purposes of this question, ‘story series’ is defined as any set of more than one story set in the same universe and revolving around the same characters; including, but not limited to, a story with… Read More ›

  Wow. I seem to have missed a few days. I got so caught up in life that I hadn’t even realised. Sorry, guys. I’ll post Day 15 later today.

  A story that made you cry I loathe crying in public if it’s about anything real, however I do love a good story that makes me cry. I have previously done a blog post on this very topic, so you… Read More ›

  A popular fan-fiction trope that you strongly dislike An exceedingly popular theme in Harry Potter fan-fiction is to have male characters born female instead, most commonly Harry, Ron and Blaise. I theorise that authors do this because they want to… Read More ›

  A book/movie/game you sought out for the first time after reading a good fan-fiction I actually have three and a half answers for this question. The first is Supernatural. I never really had any interest in watching this show until… Read More ›

  Favourite crossover pairing This won’t be a long post, since there is a straightforward answer to today’s question. My favourite crossover pairing, by a long shot, is Harry/Daryl. But wait, Nurture, who is this Daryl you speak of? Well, let… Read More ›

  A story you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving My favourite fandom to read is Harry Potter, but that is closely followed by Harry Potter crossed with other fandoms. Sometimes, however, I will come across a story which… Read More ›

  Favourite LGBTQI pairing using canon characters Reading fan-fiction doesn’t just allow us to explore the possible outcomes of different decisions or events, it also allows us to explore the characters in different ways. On of the scenarios authors often write… Read More ›

  Favourite non-canon pairing using canon characters I don’t have one. It’s as simple as that. I do, however, have a shortlist. Some of them even involve the same characters. I got home really late, and I’m running out of time… Read More ›

  Favourite canon pairing Let me just start out by saying that I am not a big fan of the Hermione/Ron pairing, nor am I overly fond of the Harry/Ginny pairing in the books. However, I am a fan of Harry/Ginny pairings… Read More ›

  Story you’ve read the most number of times I actually have quite a long list of stories I have read several times over. Pretty much every story on my favourites list has been read at least twice. However, some have… Read More ›

  Story you like better than the source material Ok. As a massive fan of Harry Potter, it comes as no surprise that I think J.K. Rowling is a brilliant storyteller. However, even I can admit that her writing does have… Read More ›

  Favourite Crossover Fandom Hmmm… I don’t think I can actually choose just one fandom for this question. My favourite three, and certainly the three I most often seek out, would have to be (in no particular order) The Walking Dead,… Read More ›

  The longest story/series of stories you’ve read I completely lost track of time yesterday, so I didn’t do my blog post for this challenge. I shall not be defeated, however, and shall simply acknowledge my setback and pick up where… Read More ›

  Favourite Fandom Anyone who has spent any amount of time talking to me or reading my blog, Facebook or twitter, knows that I am a big fan of Harry Potter and, by extension, Harry Potter fan-fiction.

  Around five years ago, I completed a book challenge, which I originally found at Blogs-Of-A-Bookaholic. Basically, the idea was to post every day for 30 days, with a set theme for each day. I had fun participating in that challenge,… Read More ›

  Hi, just a quick note to let all my loyal readers know that I won’t be posting for a couple of weeks. I really need to put all my efforts into getting on top of this bed bug problem and,… Read More ›

  Once again I find I must begin with an apology. I missed Fiction Friday again this week, for the same reason as last time. My day was spent saying my goodbyes, flying home, unpacking and spending time with my family…. Read More ›
