Newbie
« on: October 01, 2012, 03:28:49 AM »
Hi all! I'm a newbie so I thought I'd come on here and introduce myself :) So, my name is Jessica, I'm 22 and from Australia. I'm in my last year of university and studying to become a Secondary School teacher.

Fanfiction wise - I used to write a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction on fanfiction.net and even though I haven't written anything for a good six years (I've been busy lol) I'm still a big fan of fanfiction and reading in general.

Backstreet wise? Well, they formed when I was just about to turn 3 so I can't brag being an original fan or anything but I have loved them since I was 8. Brian and Nick have always been my favourites, but I love all the guys!

At the moment I've been writing a fanfic called 'Brothers' which is just a whole lot of drama and bromance. Bromance is my secret love (shh!). If you ever read my fanfics, I apologise in advance for the Aussie language. I try to keep it American ie. cell phones instead of mobiles, but I don't get the US style units of measurements (pounds, miles, feet etc), so I'll most likely use km, m, cm, mg, kg etc.

Anyways, I'm really excited to be here and I can't wait to meet you all! Oh and just before I head off, thanks to everyone who has welcomed me so far, especially Mare!

Welcome, Jess!  I love Harry Potter as well, although I've never gotten into HP fanfic.

Welcome Jess, I'm Steph from the UK and have the same problem with trying not to make my stories sound too British, lol.  Really enjoying your story :)

I love Harry Potter too, but the only fanfics I've read are the couple of cross-overs on here, one of which is by Julie (Rockofages75).

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to going through people's stories too! Haven't really found much besides romance which is ok but I only like it in small doses :)

Yeah, seems like romance is taking over the most recent page but there are a TON of non romances on AC. Most of us on the forum are drama/suspense/fantasy writers. If you check some of the debate topics or things in the general discussion boards we're always recommending stories in there. :)
