Hey friends! Welcome to Sevengee's Xanga!

The Simple 411 - (Check my ff profile for some added info)

I'm Sevengee/Lina. Call me either one :) I'm a young writer and I love reading and playing volleyball. The ships I write for on fanfiction are only Draco/Hermione. They're my favourite, and I guess it's only because of the whole love/hate thing they have going on. Teehee :)

The stories I've written are (in order of publishment)...

The Way I See It - Oneshot
Just A Smile - Oneshot
Baby Blue Eyes - Oneshot
Detention With the Devil - Oneshot
Of Diaries and Journals - Oneshot
Baby Blue Eyes: Sequel - Oneshot
Don't Interrupt Me - Oneshot
Dirty Work - Complete
When You Lose Your Way - In progress

My favourites of those are Baby Blue Eyes and When You Lose Your Way. Don't ask me why, but I love 'em to bits (and the others...somewhat. Hehe).

I plan on adding my methods of writing, some ideas I've played around with, how I came up with the afore mentioned stories, and maybe a tad few spoilers for WYLYW (When You Lose Your Way) if I can. Until then, ta!

Thanks for visting! Drop me a comment in the comment box if you want! :)

Yours truly,
Sevengee/Lina. 


Tid bits, extras, funny facts, whatever you wanna call it!

Oneshots -

First I need a solid idea. I need to know how I'm going to start it, what will happen in the middle and how I will end it. I do a rough copy in my notebook of a summary, and then some, and I begin to type it up.

Typing it up is either a slow process or a long one. It depends on how much I really want it to be published. If I think the story is crap so far or if I think it's good but could use a little more work, I save it on my e-mail account and open it later or when I feel like fixing it up.

If I do think it's worth it, I wrap it and tie it up in a bow, specially made for you, the readers! Hahaha, but first, I read it 50 times myself. After I think there are no mistakes, I get my twin sister, Agent08 to read it through and correct it for me if I missed anything.

If everything's good and I like it and my sister likes it, I post it up on fanfiction, awaiting your wonderful reviews!

Others -

For stories like WYLYW and DW, I do the first few things that I do for a oneshot, except I don't post the first chapter right away after I've check it and my sister has checked. I have to type up the next few chapters (maybe up to the 6th or 7th) so that in the future, I don't have a writers block and make you guys wait a gazillion million months for the next chapter. Instead, I have the next 5 or 6 ready for you, and I post them after I think I've gotten all the reviews I could possibly get for that certain chapter.

So yeah. After I've typed up to the 6th or 7th chapter, I post up the first chapter. And if you're curious, I've posted the second chapter of WYLYW, but I'm technically on the 8th chapter (it's not yet finished though)!

Reviews -

I like reviews. I like reviewing. Everyone should have one hundred reviews each! Haha, that would be nice, wouldn't it? But to be honest, as long as I have one review each chapter, or each oneshot, I'm a happy camper. It's good to know my story has reached at least one person!

For people that don't have many reviews and contemplate stopping a story because of it, shame on you! You shouldn't write stories because you want the reviews! You should write it because you want too, and want people to read it, regardless if they give you their input! And don't worry, if you haven't got a review yet, you'll get one sooner or later, I guarantee it!

As for flames, bring 'em on! I won't get discouraged, but I'll definitely get worked up. I don't like flames that tell me, "This story sucks," and thats the end (I've never gotten a flame like that... yet? Haha). I want them to be descriptive of as to why they don't like it or what I did wrong, and I'll try and improve.

As for you guys getting flames out there, don't be discouraged either! Flamers just want you to get better at writing, not get sad! And if you plan on flaming somebody, make sure to tell them something good about their story along with what they did wrong. It'll make them feel better :)

My ideas -

I've got a notebook! Haha, it's pretty big and purple with a spiraled spine! The brand is Mead and has different coloured dividers in it. It's sort of old; that's what keeps all my wonderful ideas together!

If I have an idea, this is how I write it down; Take Baby Blue Eyes for Example:

Baby Blue Eyes (Post-Hogwarts)(DMHG)(Oneshot)
Summary goes here, ladeda...

And I add a side note if I want too. I don't have to write down the plot, because just by looking at the title or summary I'll know. Other things like (AU) or (OOC) I add there as well if it applies to the story.

For a normal story, I write up the same thing, and then this; Take Dirty Work for example:

Dirty Work (Poster-Hogwarts)(DMHG)(MTO)
Summary ladeda...

Ch. # - Dirty Work - Title
       1 - Prologue
       2 - The Job
       3 - Two Luncheons In a Row
       4 - etc...

And beside it I would go -

Ch. # - Dirty Work - Title
       1 - Prologue - HG remembers the war and thinks of HP. RW visits her in fireplace.

That's how I tell myself what would happen in that chapter to remind myself just in case.

SPOILERS -

Now, this category may be empty sometimes, depending on whether or not I've got a story up. Turns out I do! Here's one for WYLYW.

- We'll have a shady character join us in an upcoming chapter (not the third). Don't expect him too soon but he'll be coming! His name shall be... Marcus Miles. Dun, dun, dun..!

- Is Draco crazy? Maybe. In the third chapter he'll be living in a dreamland of sorts. Haha, read the third chapter when it's posted to find out what that's supposed to mean :P

So there you have it. All the things that I do from writing a story to my spoilers! Hope you guys enjoyed it and learned a little something more about me!

Ta for now. Leave a crazy cool comment if you like! :D
