I was tagged! Thanks idonteverwannaletyoudown !

Favorite TV show: Ack this is hard but I will have to say that of all time it has to be Avatar the Last Airbender. (Close runner up would be Game of Thrones and Walking Dead and then Doctor Who)

Favorite book: Hmmmm this is super hard too. I have read so many that I could never just choose ONE. Okay so I love my Graceling series dearly, Harry Potter 7, then Hunger Games, the Matched series was pretty cool too....Classics I would say first off is Jane Erye, then Watership Down, then Enders Game. 

Favorite type of music: I love alternative. Bastille, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, One republic, Decemberists, Elbow, Band of Horses etc. 

Favorite color: Teal.

Got any pets?: Yup! Three cats and one dog. 

What color are your eyes?: Grey/Blue

Day time or night time: Night. I love sleeping.

Got a job?: NO AND I NEED ONE SO SOMEONE HOOK ME UP PLEASE

Why do you like tumblr so much? or maybe you dont…: I like it for the information that I get to learn and the things that it has taught me about my actions and thoughts. I am a much more aware of things around me and what role I play in them than I ever was before. I however HATE tumblr for its stupid and idiotic obsession with contradictory opinions and statements and hypocritical reactions and viewpoints. Its a messed up sight but I'm a messed up girl so its ok. 

Play any instruments?: I play the Viola. (or used to depending on if I drop my orchestra class)

When is your birthday?: My birthday is August 29th! I am 18 as of about two months ago! woo!

My questions:

1. If you could live in any world from a show which would you choose?

2. If you could be a character from anything for one week who would you be?

3. Favorite food and why.

YES!

I love some good Scorose fics!

Till Marriage Do Us Part is my absolute favorite Scorose fic. It’s the first I ever read of the pairing and I started shipping them immediately after I read it.

Erase Me Before I Fall is another favorite oneshot by a great author.

Gossip In The Library is excellent if you like smut.

Letters To Rose is my favorite in-progress fic. It’s perfection.

How to Win A Bet and Inappropriate Behaviour are two are good one shots as well.

Yes, I am! (or, I was).

Good for you for finishing it, (and good for the author for WRITING it)…all 80 chapters of it!

I still have mixed feelings about it. When I started it, I loved the first chapter. It had that “forbidden love” element to it, and as much as I didn’t want to like it, I definitely did. I was very intrigued.

For those of you who don’t know - Every Other Midnight is an AU James/Lily story in which James is a professor at Hogwarts (although we find out that he is actually an Auror placed at the school because of what’s happening with Voldemort) and Lily is his 7th year student. James is very young, only a year out of school, and Lily is in her last year, so the age difference isn’t creepy or anything. They’re only 2ish years apart, and she’s of age. 

ANYWAY - I read about 5-6 chapters of the story, and was enjoying it for the most part. However, the grammar and typos seemed to get worse and worse as the chapters went on. The first one or two chapters were not bad and it didn’t bother me, but eventually I couldn’t continue reading. Plus, a few plot points were a little TOO out there for me (Lily casts a spell on James during dueling practice that makes him get an erection…like, really?). If the fic was shorter, I might have finished it just to see how it ends, but 80 chapters is an awful lot to read if the grammar is not stellar. I very well might go back to it at some point but for now I’m putting it on hold. 

I’m glad you liked the story, though, and liked the AU aspect! I really love AUs, but only Jily. I don’t know why. If you ever have the desire to read more, I’ve listed out my favorites here.
