Hey there again, reader. So glad to see you on this site. Just wanted to give you a heads up about the second chapter of Seventeen Going on Eighteen. In this chapter, Lydia goes back in her mind to a certain summer at Longbourne and Netherfield and an old friend. Hope you like! Other news is that I have recently begun another story (I know, don't roll your eyes at me here, please) about Tonks and Bill.

Summary: Bill and Tonks had been friends ever since Hogwarts. When Bill wants to go out with Fleur and Tonks is upset over her breakup with Remus, can they help each other out? Will their friendship withstand the trials or will it morph into something else?

This story is called The Trials of Tonks. The link can be found above.

I hope you enjoy these new pieces of writing, but I also promise to update my other peices soon, so you needent worry on that scale :D

Hey all... just wanted to give you a heads up on my newest fic, Seventeen Going on Eighteen. This is a Pride and Prejudice fanfic centering on Lydia Bennet.

As many of you know, I have allready explored the relationship between Lydia and Wickham in my one-shot Sweet Sixteen. In "Seventeen Going on Eighteen", I wanted to further my exploration of the character of Lydia. "Seventeen Going on Eighteen" is NOT a sequel to "Sweet Sixteen" however. It is merely a companion.

In "Seventeen Going on Eighteen", Lydia narrates a thrilling story filled with humor and romance with a ring of truth. She grows from a vapid self absorbed young girl to an intelligent and active young woman. The first chapter is up on fanfiction.net allready, and additional chapters will be up as soon as I am able to get a decent beta. If you know any one good, please send me an email.

I hope you enjoy this new story, and thank you for remaining loyal all these years!

Well, Here I am again, back with my tail between my legs. I feel really pathetic, you know, not posting here in so long, and completely letting everything go in the fanfiction world. Kinda sad really.

Anyways, I am a member of the wonderful Novicewriters.net. Y'all should totally go there and join today. Attached to that site is a fanfiction, origanal fiction and poetry forum, as well as a Role Playing forum.

The other big news is that I am starting a Tamora Pierce fan site. It will be up, at the latest, sometime in mid-February... a place to post and read fanfiction, post and read roleplays, and to just chat with other Tamora Pierce fans...

Anyhow, I have to go.

See y'all later!

Holden Caulfield is not crazy. He is lost and confused, and upset by the world around him. He is depressed about the death of Allie and his inability to gather courage to see Jane. He’s just a little rebellious, too intellectual for the world around him, and does not fit with stereotypical teens because they are so different from him. He sees himself as one of the only ones around with common sense, and therefore, he begins analyzing everyone else in an attempt to find if there are others like him. There are times when over-analyzing things gets too difficult and stressful, and, as in the beginning of the book, he must go to a place that will get him away from people.

Holden is lost and confused and upset by the world around him mainly because he has been farmed off to some horrible schools where he has been with people who probably were not the best of influences on him. He is wise enough to see that these people are fake. It bothers him that there is no one who is like him, except for Allie, who died of leukemia, and Phoebe. Throughout the book, Holden is bringing up how everyone else around him is so fake, and he stresses how Allie and Phoebe are different from almost everybody else he knows.

Holden would like to fit into the teenage mold, but he can’t stand the artificiality of the teenagers that are supposed to be his peers. Even though Holden may be critical of people a lot of the time, he does find their good points and makes sure to add them into the mix. He doesn’t revel in the superficiality of the people around him. He hates it, and wants it to be different.

Over and over again in the course of the book, Holden entertains the idea of talking to Jane or visiting her. His obsession over her comes from his childhood, when they used to play with each other almost every day. Here, he is clinging to someone stable that seems familiar, from his youth. But over and over again, he pushes the idea contacting Jane away, not feeling in the mood to talk to her, and telling himself he’ll do it some other time. This of course, during the couple of days we hear about him, never happens, as he gets in various situations that drive the idea out of his head, or render it impossible to do it at that exact second.

Holden Caulfield is in a difficult situation that anyone would have problems with, let alone be able handle. He is not actually crazy, but towards the end of the book, he begins to feel the start of a nervous breakdown. Fortunately for him, and for everyone else around him, Phoebe pulls him out of it, when it could have gone much farther, and been destructive.
