Strawberry Passion

Author Note: And the smut begins!!! I subtly told you all that smut would be in the next chapter and it is! I hope you all like reading it as much as I loved writing it. Enjoy! Review Replies: OMG you couldn't imagine my pleasure in recieveing so many reviews this week! Thank you all soooooo much--it completely made my stressful week a lot less stressful! purpleann:This is *hilarious*. I never thought of Lupin and Luna together, but what you've done so far is great. I loved Snape's line in this last chapter about Dumbledore's "lemon candy-rotted brain." I literally laughed out loud! Great job & can't wait to read the rest. I have to say that the idea of Dumbledore getting drunk and setting up his charges like this is totally plausible. Me: Thank you so much! Yes I wasn't much of a Luna/Remus fan at first but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Luna's hippie like attitude is what Remus needs in order to heal and move on from Tonk's death. And pissed off Snape is always fun to write--especially when he's insulting Dumbledore. Speaking of Dumbledore--he's a little nuts in this story. I was actually surprised to find no stories of Dumbledore thinking to lock people in a house and force them to love each other--I mean, his character practically screams that type of prompt. Thanks again for reviewing--I hope my story can encourage you to write another! savigar: This is great! I'm enjoying all of your pairings - nice job of setting everything up. Can 't wait to see what happens next! Me: Thank you for taking the chance and reading my fic! I hope that toward the middle of the summer I can have enough chapters to update more frequently but my beta can only do so much. And since I love her so much and don't want her to leave me, we will simply have to deal with the slow pace of updates. I hope you stick around--it'll only get better with Poker night and the Teletubbies making an appearance in the future. purefaith91: What a cute story. Hopefully, it will not take straight talking Hermione too much time to let Snape know how she feels. I think that they will be the first ones to get together. Love it so far. p Me: Thanks much!! I would love to discuss the dynamic of Snape and Hermione's relationship with you but I'm afraid that in doing that right now, I'll end up giving away the surprises in the story. But if it makes you feel better, I hope Hermione tells Snape how she feels about him soon as well Thanks again for the reviews everyone! And lurkers, I love having you around as well! I give you all hugs and kisses! Much love! Strawberry Passion (aka: Koolgirl18)

Author Note: Hey everyone, Well, here's another chapter. I hope your enjoying the sexual tension (I know I am). And trust me, this sexual tension will lead somewhere, as will be clear in the next chapter. If you stick around, I promise the build won't be disappointing (hint, hint). Hee hee hee Anywho, thanks to all the lurkers and vocal reviewers for sticking with me. I promise the pace will pick up very, very soon. Until then! Strawberry Passion (AKA Koolgirl18) Review Replies: Awesome! A new story! So just finished reading about Remus and Luna, who is one of my favorite characters. I think you really stayed in character with everyone so far and yes, that includes Dumbledore complete with pink lacy knickers on his head while drunk. Very funny as I could just picture that in my head. Anyhow this is the part that I tell you I love the story and you must drop everything to finish it. Seeing as we all live in real life, I have accepted that you will get maybe a chapter each week or so? In the meantime I will look forward to the next installment. Thank you so much for the review and the compliment. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep them in character so its good to know that my hard work paid off. I actually will soon be able to drop everything to write more chapters for this story. I'll be done with all of my final exams by the end of the week. That will give me two weeks of hardcore fanfiction writing before I start classes again. Also, be on the lookout for some one shots from me. I've been joining a bunch of fests on Livejournal and as soon as my story are free, I'm going to be posting them here on AFF. Again, thank you so much for the review--it made final exams so much easier to get through!

Author Note: Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay. Sunday was a unusually busy day for me. The next chapter should be a very enjoyable read. I know I enjoyed writing it lol I love Luna and I love Remus so it was the best of both worlds for me. Please don't hesitate to leave a review. I would love to hear your thoughts. Since I'm still in the middle of writing it maybe you can all give me some ideas on what should happen. And I might occasionally request something from the readers. Anywho, enjoy! Strawberry Passion

Author Note: Hey everyone. Here's another chapter of my Lacy Knicker Project. Things will begin to heat up shortly I promise!! But until then, you will have to enjoy the rising sexual tension between everyone. Until then! Strawberry Passion Review Replies: Abyss :very promising so far! i'm looking forward to the next chapter Thank you so much!! Yes the story starts off kind of slow at first but it won't be long now before some smut comes in. I hope you stay with the story!

I'd be happy to see what you have so far. If you go to my profile (koolgirl18) you'll find my email. Make sure you put something about fanfiction in the subject line so I don't mistake and accidentally delete it. Until then! Strawberry Passion

Hey everyone! I decided to update this story quickly just to get it moving along enough. Just a note, I will not update this quickly on a daily basis. I have final exams this month and I'm sure studying will take up most of my time. I'm busy as a Resident Assistant and will be doing a lot of move ins and move outs in the dorms and campus housing this month. I'll also be taking summer classes. When I have time to edit and perfect my stories I will update for your viewing pleasure. And trust me, you will want to stick with this story--it will only get funnier as it continues. Thank you for your support--I really appreciate it! Until next chapter! Love, hugs, and kisses Koolgirl18

Again, hello everyone! It took me a few months but I’m back and ready to start another fic! This one is actually a light fic in contrast to my other dark fic. The following pairings for this particular fic is: Lucius Malfoy/Ginny Weasley, Severus Snape/Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood/Remus Lupin. As always, there will be some very smutty scenes right along with some funny scenes. I hope I make some of you laugh. Enjoy and please review! Love, hugs, and kisses koolgirl18

Hmmm ... you know this one is one would be interesting. If you could give me some more info on it I would be happy to see if I could write something that you would want to read. Strawberry Passion

Hiya writers! I have been itching to beta for a long time now. Here is some information about my beta skills and what I am willing to help with. I am a University student majoring in Rhetoric and Communications and Conflict Resoultion. I have taken more grammar and editing classes than I can count. I'm not professional by any means but I am good helping writers improve their stories. Here is some information on the stories that I am willing to beta for: Fandom: I am a hardcore Harry Potter fanfiction reader and writer. I could attempt other fandoms but Harry Potter is the one I am most comfortable with. Pairings: I am pretty open to pairings though the pairings that I simply cannot stand are any stories with Ginny paired with Harry, or Neville. To be fair, other Hogwarts boys I could deal with but the Harry/Ginny pairing simply makes my blood boil (even if they are a secondary pairing that isn't expanded on within the story, I still cannot stand Harry and Ginny). If you want to know why that pairing bothers me, you can ask me about it later and I would be willing to talk about it. I also can't stand Hermione with Ron. Otherwise, the playing field is pretty open! If you want to read a sample of my writing, simply follow the link to my profile. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or to post a reply to the thread. Until then! Love, hugs, and kisses Strawberry Passion (or Koolgirl18)

I am at your beck and call lol I'm not professional by any stretch of the imagination but I know I can help you improve things and make them better. I know how you feel--as a writer of multiple fics, I know it can be hard to get motivation up for your own. You can send your story to me whenever your ready. Don't ever be afraid of bothering me by email--I've wanted to beta something for a while (in fact, to beta something that I'm a fan of makes it all even better!). So again, just email me and we can chat about the expectations that you have for me. I can't wait to hear from you!! Love, hugs, kisses Strawberry Passion

Hi, In one of the other threads you wrote that you needed a beta. I answered to it. I don't know if you read the thread or if you have read the thread but have already found a beta. If you haven't found a beta yet, I would be happy to assist you! Just click on the link to my profile (koolgirl18) and email me if you are still interested! Nice to see you back and updating! Hope to hear from you soon!

I just wanted to drop in right quick to tell you that I really enjoyed your story. It was well written and the characters were so beautifully thought out. I believe I stopped reading your fic when you killed off Snape. I'm sorry, I simply cannot read a fic where he's killed (if he were dead before the fic I could tolerate his character not being in a story). I have a soft spot for the dark bastard and simply find it very difficult to cope with his death when he's killed in the middle of a fic. Now this is not me trying to make you change your story or to make you feel bad about killing him off or anything else--I simply wanted to tell you that despite me not continuing the story, what you did have down I truly enjoyed. As a writer, I know how frustrating it can be not to get any feed back or reviews or anything else for that matter. I know for a fact that you'll really appreciate getting feedback--even if the reader does stay along for the whole ride. Thank you for contributing to my procrastination (Uni homework sucks)! Hopefully, there will be another story you post that I will stick around for. Until then! Strawberry Passion

You know, I thought I would be squee'd out about older people having sex together (or older people and younger people having sex together) but I found that it doesn't bother me at all. I read an Albus/Hermione story (Much Ado About Nothing and A Winter's Tale by Max) and completely fell in love with the pairing. The author wrote the story so well and the reactions of the characters were simply poetic. I'm pretty twisted so I'm probably not a good example of this Also, considering that I'm dating someone who has a twenty year plus age gap with me probably made me immune to being disgusted by a lot of "old/old" or "old/young" pairings any way lol

Hiya! I've been an avid follower of a few of your stories on AFF.net. I'd be more than happy to help you look over a few and polish them for the world to see. I'm no Stephen King but I think I've been force fed grammar enough (I'm a communications major) to give you some help. If you are interested in talking with me more about betaing your stories, simply follow the link to my profile (koolgirl18). My email is there. I can't wait to hear from you!

So yeah, here are the the list of children I came up with for my fic. If your interested in seeing a little more of this fic with the children rather than their parents--I'd be happy to write more (the plot bunnies for it are going crazy right now)! Note: This is the age of everyone at the time of Sam and Travis' graduation. Lucius/Snape/Ginny Samantha Ginevra Snape (17) Travis Severus Snape-(17) Lexine Ginevra Malfoy-(14) Oliver Lucius Malfoy-(11) Sofia Ginevra Snape-(2) Hermione/Sirius Sirius Jr.-(16) Evelyn Rose Black-(14) Remus and Serena Desiree Katrina Lupin-(15) Ryan John Lupin-(13) Shakira Ray Lupin-(11) Bill and Luna William Jr.-(15) Cameron William Weasley-(14) Bethany Luna Weasley-(12) Wyatt William Weasley-(10) Nigel William Weasley -(8)

Hey everyone, This thread intrigued me for a number of reasons. I'm considered what you all call the girl who adores assholes, douchesbags etc. As I read this thread I came to a number of realizations about myself and my tendency to romanticize these characters. I figured you would all be somewhat interested in me offering myself as a guinea pig picking myself apart. I find that I simply love to read/write stories where the main female character is in a powerless slave position (though she is usually still strong, smart and resilient) and the male character is the master. From a writing perspective, I love these scenarios because in my mind, the female characters always come out on top. They are tough, resilient, and powerful in their own sense—they are powerful because they always end up bringing the male character to his knees in the end (not saying it's realistic or true but that's how I always portray my writings). I guess in a way, writing something where the female character does end up making the male fall in love with her and devoting himself to her is partially my way of feeling powerful. I know what you're thinking—why do you need some asshole douchebag to fall in love with you to make you feel powerful? I don't think it's because I've had daddy issues, lack of reality and experience or even live in some superficial world (trust me—I was in a relationship where a asshole douche like guy tried to take control of me and I told him to stick it where the sun didn't shine before leaving his ass for a man who treated me with respect)—I believe it's a part of my cultural and social conditioning. My ancestors were slaves (I'm African American by the way if you haven't guessed by now) and for many generations lived in a reality where they had no power. Most masters would whip the men and rape the women without a guilty conscious (now those men were the ultimate assholes and douchebags). I'm sure my ancestors felt powerless and I have no doubt that some of those powerless feelings passed down all the way to my very generation (the women in my family tend to go after men who physically, sexually, and verbally abuse them but they do nothing to get out of these types of relationships once they get into them). In a way (especially in my writing), I suppose I'm trying to change what my ancestors couldn't change when they were slaves. I'm trying to create the same story about my ancestors but with a happy ending instead of a sad depressing one. Or maybe I'm trying to deal with the complex feelings that my ancestors passed down to me and the only way I can truly deal with them in a way where I won't get judged too much is to write them down through different characters. Well those are my thoughts. I'm not saying they are true or perfect but it is what it is. I know my thoughts are a little sloppy and maybe a bit abstract but I thought a different perspective would be nice. Strawberry Passion P.S. I'm willing to clarify anything if you need me to.
