I have loved the written word since watching my mother’s fingers trace the lines of a book, luxuriating in riveting tales and well-turned phrases. Many a night I read until dawn, a plastic flashlight hidden under the covers to light the pages as I raced the rising sun to finish my latest must-read.
Since joining the HP fandom, I've been privileged to receive more than 50 awards, including Best Author (Quill to Parchment Awards) and Best Classic Author (Most Potente Passions). Among others, my stories have won awards for Best Hurt/Comfort (Spoils of War, Morning Has Broken), Best Novel Length (Calling Card, Guard…Check…Mate), Best One Shot (A Beach in Ireland), Best WIP (Saving a Death Eater, The Summoning), Favorite Overall Story (Complexities), and Readers’ Choice (A Quest of Paladins).
Aside from a judicious polish for formatting and egregious typos, I don't plan on revising my early work. Those stories are the stepping stones of my writing journey. Please note some stories contain adult content. None is more graphic than equivalent scenes in the television shows True Blood or Game of Thrones, and age appropriate warnings are posted.
I no longer write fanfiction prolifically. Like many fanfic authors, my focus has shifted to original work. A member of the Romance Writers of America and the Southern California Writers Association, I write under my name: Lin Thornhill.
My original story Verisimilitude published in Thoroughly Modern Monsters (Story Spring Publishing, 2013) reached the top 100 fantasy anthologies and broke into the top 10 in the UK the first month of release. Ben and Christine’s story will continue in 2016.
Fixation, my latest short story, slated for publication in J. Aldis’ anthology Immanence, with a winter 2015-2016 release, is particularly exciting as it anchors the Messengers of Inari novel series I’ve been developing for the past year.

Reviews for The Fullness of Time
hmmmmmmm interesting story but seemed real cut-up maybe a little too much
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
I appreciate your taking the time to leave a review, especially as you didn't quite like the piece. When I wrote this I was doodling with staccato beats and a brevity of descriptors as well as omniscient voice. I'm sorry it wasn't to your taste, but again, thanks for letting me know what you thought.

I'm glad you took it so well.......I love some of your others stories and I'm glad you write them

I think thoughtful criticism is really valuable, and while I don't necessarily know you, you've been honest about your reaction. Thank you again.
That was beautiful.Sad and beautiful.
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
Thank you very much. It happens to be one of my personal favorites; so I'm thrilled you liked it so much.

Nicely done, Bambu. Very tight, good control of mood, great use of rhythm and parallelism. Two snaps up in a circle!

Thanks, Meli. I actually enjoyed the spareness of this piece, it was a blast to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So sad and yet beautiful. A different style that made a a great change to read but still so sad. (Ok so I am a sucker for a happy ending)
I hope you post more here I am so pleased to see you here
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
It's also great to see you here as well. As you know, I always enjoy reading what you think. I didn't think this was too sad... well, a little melancholy maybe. But they do, after all have fifty years together... that's not bad (especially when compared to Muggle marriages today). Thanks so much...
I'm pretty sure I've read this before, but I was prompted to look over your fics for that quill thing, and rereading, I got tears in my eyes. Lovely, poetic, memorable. I also reread Guard -- any excuse or none needed for that.

::blushes:: You are a very gracious reviewer, and you've brought a huge smile to my face. This is among my favorites, and I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much!
This is awesome. It shows just how much these two are alike and how that brings them together even with their pasts. Loved it. Tamara
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
Thank you very much. This was something of a doodle I wrote while babysitting my niece, but it remains one of my personal favorites. It always makes my day when someone else likes it.
Bambu,As I work my way from the oldest to the newest on this site, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite fanfic authors. You have such an amazing gift of words. This is yet another example of your exemplary work.
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
What a very lovely thing to say, and I truly appreciate your taking the time to review any of my work. This small piece is, perhaps, my favorite next to 'A Full Circle', and I'm plesaed you liked it so well.
What a wonderful little story. I had to look up the cheongsam.
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
Oh, thank you very, very much. This is indeed one of my personal favorite pieces I've ever written, so it makes my day when someone else likes it.You looked up cheongsam? Excellent! I love a curious audience!
This story is so old, yet I leave this review in a hope that it will reach you. You must know - it transcends time and books and still resonates in the reader as touching and fulfilling. I'm eternally grateful they found their peace.
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
Please forgive my tardiness in replying. Since I've just posted a new chapter of a story to TPP, I thought I'd check my other stories for any unanswered reviews. Imagine my shock to find yours. I must have a glitch in my spam folders somewhere.I am indeed still active in the fandom, although much less consistently than in the past, but I do still read and write for this ship.Thank you so much for your compliment on this story, which is one of my personal favorites. It was my very first omniscient narrative voice, and I still like the 'tone.'
Response from nata (Reviewer)
I reread it again. It is worth. So very worth the read. Thank you for answering me even after such a long time.
Response from Bambu (Author of The Fullness of Time)
You're very kind. Thank you again for taking the time to let me know how much you've enjoyed the story.
