Friends Only  


Well, there you go. Friends only except for icon/wallpaper/fic posts. ^^ Comment to this post if you want to be friends and I'll probably add you.

If you're wondering about the date, I just want this post to always be on top. I have to backdate all my entries now, but whatever. ;D

Story Or Series Title: *takes a deep breath* A I'm not a Perfect Little Girly Girl Princess Teenage Bitch and B blow me.
Fandom: Why are you looking at me like that? Harry Potter was the first Emo-kid!
Culprit Author's Name: Geraco Way. She gives her AIM, MySpace and Quizilla on her profile. Because, y'know, her adoring fans.

Full Name (plus titles if any): Hermione "Striped Scarf" Granger
Full Species(es): One thing's for sure. She's not a "girly girl princess teenage bitch." We are told this repeatedly. And by told, I mean we are treated to that phrase so much it sould be copyrighted.
Hair Color (include adjectives): Brown, I guess. There's a mention of a change, but I guess that means it's not bushy anymore. Hermione can't be EMO with bushy hair--that just wouldn't do.
Eye Color (include adjectives): None mentioned.
Unusual Markings/Colorations: Nail polish?
Special Possessions (if any): A black sharpie, black tape, a Taking Back Sunday CD and a BFF named Kallen. It's like Caitlin, only male and missing a "t."

Annoying Origin: Way too much identification.
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: Pretending to be one.
Annoying Special Abilities: Flipping her mum off repeatedly, picking at her nail polish, scrawling things in black sharpie and calling it "art", so...much...black...tape...
Other Annoying Traits: Obligatory Nazi referances are quite frequent. Apparently, a pink bedroom=Aushwitz. Oh honey, no. Color-coordination of the bunkers was not Hilter's priority.


Please include a small sample of the worst of this story:

Chapter one: Do not open Hazardous Waste inside...Suethor, you have no idea. )

She's written 31 stories.

I'd read them, but then I'd have to sue--no pun intended.

*crosses eyes*  
14 million readers total (number of total Harry Potter books sold divided by 6)
202,823 readers on mugglenet care enough to visit polls (highest number of people voting on polls)
therefore:
1.5 % of the Readership is online

--

63, 840 writers of HP fanfiction on fanfiction.net
206, 000 of HP stories total on fanction.net
Which means a ratio of 3 stories per person (reasonable)
108,050 of HP stories are catagorized "Romance" (52%)

PAIRINGS

9,950 are H/Hr (5% total) (9% Romance)
14,350 are D/H (7% total) (13% Romance)
8300 are H/G (4% total) (8% Romance)
8350 are R/Hr (4% total) (8% Romance)
9850 of these stories are L/J (5%, total) (9% Romance)
4,850 of these are HP/SS (2% total) (4% Romance)
4,675 of these are SS/HG (2% total) (4% Romance)
14,875 are DM/HG (7% total) (14% Romance)
5,525 are RL/SB (3% total) (5% Romance)
200 are RW/HP (too small to count total)(2% Romance)
All of these ships make up about 75% of Romance Ships: yay!

Therefore, Harmonians make up about 5% of fanfiction.net's Harry Potter Stories
To get the number of Harmonians, we divide the number of authors by the average number
of stories per author and get 21, 280 (for every three fics, there is one author)
Then we take five percent of 21, 280 and get 1, 064. There are about 1, 064 writers of H/Hr on fanfiction.net.

Portkey has about 13, 000 members, most of them Harmonians, which makes sense, because not every shipper writes or posts on FF.net.
Even so, using the "mugglenet statistic" they only make up about 6% of the site's visitors.
They only make up about 0.08% of the readership, total.

--

Factual problems with this data and why it's the best that can be done:

1. Mugglenet's creator is known to be R/Hr. This could affect the perecentage of Harmonians visiting, HOWEVER the number of visitors I used was BEFORE the interview that infuriated so many Harmonians.

2. The poll number is only a small number of Mugglnet's readership, HOWEVER those participating in the poll are a more acucurate number of the fandom itself, as they are more "involved." People not involved in the HP fandom are less likely to vote in a poll.

3. Fanfiction.net is not the only fanfic archive, HOWEVER it is the largest one on the net and is ship-neutral. Therefore, the numbers found there reflect the numbers more accurately than looking at archives like Portkey and Checkmated seperately.

4. The number of readers is actually larger than the one I used, because it doesn't take libraries, one book per family ect. This is a minimum amount of readers and only the ones who read in English.

5. I'm a little biased, being a R/Hr shipper myself though I really don't participate in specific R/Hr communites and stuff. I'm more of a MWPP writer or an L/J shippers.

Hope it's of use, somehow. It's the best I could do.

...and so it begins...  
I wonder if I'll ever finish a fic. You know, ever. Just because I have a rough outline of my newest one, including chapter names and a real plot. I need to find a beta now, to push me. If I have a beta, than I'll have a motivation and a deadline. I need a beta.

But I'm really proud of the idea, the plot. It's really good. But of course, I can't give it all away. That's the point of chapters.

...I need to write the first one.

A Series of Unfortunate Events Icons  
This movie is so good. I loved it--especially because it strayed from the books. Sometimes a movie needs that. The kids were like family and, although Jim Carrey was a ham, he was enjoyable. When I found these wonderful, high-quality caps, I couldn't resist icons--especially some of Olaf's expressions.

At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a journey. )

cedric=hot (simple math)  
Who else had thought Robert Pattinson was a visual orgasm? I felt terribly for Dan Radcliffe this year; he looked like a little dork next to dear Rob. Either way, I had to take advantage of [info]teh_indy's GOF caps for all those little Cedric expressions. And this is just the first half...

Oh, Cedric, you're so fine. You're so fine you blow my mind. 50 icons behind cut! )

A bunch of Jane Elson fasion icons. I think the photos are in my memories somewhere....either way they were featured in Vogue at one point. I just thought they were far too pretty not to make an icon set out of.
