Hello Everyone,

First off I want to thank all my readers. I love knowing that what I write is being read by someone who enjoys Harry Potter Fanfiction as much as I do. No one in my off-line world believes that what I am writing is real which hurts a little. That is why I LOVE this site and my readers as much as I do.

Next I want to thank everyone who has left a review. Each and every review makes me smile that someone liked my story enough to write something to me. I love reading reviews. They are addicting. Everytime I post a new chapter I'm on looking for review about every 10 seconds, so thank you once again.

My story is "What is love?" it is my first fan fiction so it is a little rough around the edges but I love writing it. After almost 10 years reading HPFF I finally got the nerve to write my own.

Thank you to everyone!!

Hi there Meg!

I have some questions for you...

1. What inspired you to write What is Love?

2. Where did you come up with such a clever idea? Was it just something that came to you?

3. Do you have a set amount of time for writing or do you usually write when the moment strikes?

4. Are you naturally drawn to DraMiones or is it something that you began to like over time?

5. What kind of advice would you give other Author's when they begin writing their first fanfiction?


Okay now for some random questions...

1. If you were to look into the Mirror of Erised what would you see and why?

2. If you could cast a Patronus what would it be?

3. If you HAD to choose another house to be put in what one would you choose and why?

4. Say you were to face a Boggart...what would it morph into?

5. If you had a wand what type of wood would it be and what would it's core be?

Okay so that is all that I have for now when I think of more I will be back to ask some more.

SR17!!! It's great to hear from you on the forums.

1. What inspired you to write What is Love?
2. Where did you come up with such a clever idea? Was it just something that came to you?

I'm going to answer one and two together.
Hmmm... I read a Dramione a couple of years ago where Draco and Hermione were forced to get married (I don't remember the exact reasons) and I remembered I didn't like that they were forced and I wanted it to be a choice. So that started the "forced" engagement which isn't really because she choose to say yes. But, My inspiration came from the song "Can you help me" by Usher. From reading my story and reading the song title you might be able to put the pieces together. I think the war would have been tramatizing to someone so why not Hermione? That is where the story started. Where it is going I'm not sure but I hope you continue to like it.

Was that too long?

3. Do you have a set amount of time for writing or do you usually write when the moment strikes?

I try to write atleast one sentence a day. I know it is dorky but I go too long I can lose my motivation.

4. Are you naturally drawn to DraMiones or is it something that you began to like over time?

YES!!! Dramione captured my heart from the very first time I read one. I was a huge Lily/James fan. I like that she hated him but in the end he liked her enough that it clicked for them and then I stumbled upon my first Dramione and I haven't looked back. It was love at first word. <3

5. What kind of advice would you give other Author's when they begin writing their first fanfiction?

This may sound weird but just follow your own emotions. If you hate the idea of Dramione you won't write it good. Find idea that just sticks if you think about it three times write it down. My biggest helper when writing is music. Music gets in your heart and moves you and write that. But nothing can help you more than just writing down everything.

And great reviewers

Okay moving on.....


1. If you were to look into the Mirror of Erised what would you see and why?

At the moment, I would see my husband and I holding our first child because I am expecting and it's the most horrible expirence for me so I am just ready for him/her to be here.

Normally, Me and my husband with two kids and I'm a published author. That is what I really want out of life.

2. If you could cast a Patronus what would it be?

I have thought and thought on this subject and I still have no clue. If I were to guess it would be a Siberian Wolf/Husky (a wild one) They are beautiful and smart and cunning.

3. If you HAD to choose another house to be put in what one would you choose and why?

Slytherin, I think I fit in Gryffindor just fine but I think there is a fine line between Slytherin and Gryffindor (don't shoot me). I have always thought the in the 'claws and the 'puffs where similar and the Gryffindors and the Slytherins where similar it's just about where your core values lie. I think I could do well in Slytherin.

4. Say you were to face a Boggart...what would it morph into?

Something bad happening to my husband and/or my dogs.

5. If you had a wand what type of wood would it be and what would it's core be?

Dogwood/Unicorn (I'm not sure if they make wands out of Dogwood wood but that's what mine would be made out of.)


I hope you think of some more questions, I enjoyed answering these. (sorry it took so long)
