About me: I'm old enough to know better but too young to care. I have an interest in the supernatural/metaphysical and I believe in magic. I'm a vegetarian for moral reasons, though it's getting rather dangerous these days to eat meat anyhow, with all the viruses turning up. I respect animals and enjoy writing about them; in my opinion we have a lot to learn from animal behavior. I write fanfiction purely for fun, or at least to shut my head up, however I often entertain grand, delusional aspirations of one day writing professionally. I feel that polite behavior is important to personal happiness, so please don't be afraid to contact me, as I won't bite.

Favorite Pairings

In Harry Potter
Harry/Luna: In my opinion they belong together in canon. Luna has so much to offer, from peace of mind to the wild magic of faith, and Harry deserves a taste of the unbelievable.

Ron/Harry: It is possible that in some strange world where Ron has common sense, or at least the ability to see Harry as a human being who has fears, needs and feelings of deep friendship and loyalty towards him, this pairing could work. Someone just has to smack Ron a few times and then explain things slowly with puppets.

Harry/Colin
Neville/Harry
Ginny/Luna
Draco/Harry
Cedric/Harry
Voldemort/Harry

In DC Comics
(Ex-)Robin(s)/(Ex-)Robin(s): Dick and Tim. Dick, Jason and Tim. Jason, Steph and Carrie. Tim, Steph and (god forbid but oh well) Damian. Whatever combination of Robins can be put together. Extra points and sparkles for costume swapping.

Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle: Selina is the only leading lady I cheer for with Bruce. She refuses to be stepped on, shoved in a closet or treated like a fashion accessory. If it were to ever really work, Bruce would probably have to maintain a certain degree of honesty and emotional health.

Dick Grayson/Princess Koriand'r
Roy Harper/Dick Grayson
Zachary Zatara/Tim Drake
Bart Allen/Tim Drake
Kon-El/Tim Drake
Kon-El/Tim Drake/Cassie Sandsmark
Kon-El/Tim Drake/Bart Allen
Tim Drake/Bernard Dowd
Slade Wilson/(Ex-)Robin(s)

Things I've Posted

The Dogs and Shakespeare (My baby.)
The Dursleys are swayed by circumstance to accept Harry as he is: a cursed little blighter who gets into too much trouble and has the additional quirk of magic. He becomes a part of their family and finds that once outside his cupboard, he has a whole new world to explore. A world of games and toys and most especially, magic. He learns to wield it long before Hogwarts and finds himself elated at the existence of his secret world. When he makes his first real friends, he can't help but share magic with them.

Look Out
A one-shot. Drabblish collection of Draco's perceptions of Harry Potter, leading up to the moment when he's in Umbridge's office and she's about to crucio him. That moment always disturbed me, when Harry looked up and saw an eager expression on Draco's face. Writing this made me feel so much better about Draco, so I thought I'd share it.

Cloak and Dagger Circus
On hold until I have the energy and interest to pursue it further. Picks up and largely takes place in the summer before fifth year and is quite far from DH compliant. Harry's escape into both the real world and his fantasies depends upon his skills of evasion, as he's being tailed by the strangest crowd of magical folk he's ever seen. Thank Merlin for Hedwig and Luna. Deliberately clichéd.

Dragon Effect
Warning: The first chapter is wordy mcword word, desperately in need of a thorough edit, and reading it could result in serious neurological damage; read with caution. Please also consider that it is not likely to be updated in the forseeable future.

The title comes from the term Butterfly Effect. It is happily non-compliant with the seventh book, as the plans for it and the entire first chapter and most of the second chapter were already written long before even the release date for Deathly Hallows had been announced.

Harry has spent years researching time travel only to find there is no longer an immediate need to employ his wisdom. At twenty-five, with no one but Dobby and Buckbeak at his side, he takes an irreversible leap into a world treading a near-identical path to his own, in 1973, where he has no intention of minding rules.

A lot of reviewers for The Dogs and Shakespeare ask the same questions, so there are probably even more people who don't review but wonder the same things, considering the subscriber to reviewer ratio.

Dogs and Shakespeare FAQ
(for the questions that just keep coming back)

What does the title mean?
The title was taken from a line in which Harry and the Dursleys will someday discuss Hogwarts. In Harry's mind both Shakespeare's works and 'the dogs' will come to be associated with the Dursleys' relationship to magic.

Does this story continue on to Hogwarts?
Eventually, yes. I'm not in any hurry though. This is a slow-paced story, focusing more on Harry's incubation period prior to Hogwarts.

Isn't Harry's location an unfindable super-secret? (referencing chapter seventeen)
Even Sirius, who had just spent twelve years in Azkaban, knew to look for Harry in Little Whinging. The Ministry knows where to find him, the Weasleys turned up just fine and by the start of book seven Voldemort and every single Death Eater was fully aware of where he lived. Prior to Hogwarts Harry also had brief glimpses and meetings such as the one with Dedalus Diggle, which I do not believe were coincidences. This all suggests that old friends of his parents, anyone in the Ministry and close contacts of same could easily track him down if they were so inclined. If Albus really was trying to keep Harry's location a secret in canon, he failed pretty spectacularly.

One of the first people to learn Harry's new address was Hagrid and we all know how well he can keep a secret!

What are the pairings for this story?
There are no pairings in this story! :D

Seriously, the story is going to end when Harry is thirteen. At thirteen canon!Harry hadn't really noticed anyone in a serious way. While he might develop crushes, as children tend to do, he is not going to begin a great romance as a child. To me that sounds reasonable.

Ew, I hate (het/slash/Draco/Hermione), if you do pair him then just anything but that, please!
This is one of the big reasons why the story will end when Harry is thirteen. I'm not willing to argue with anyone about what pairings are appropriate and neither do I want to ruin the story by asking them to suddenly accept a pairing which they can't stand. Personally I'd be very annoyed if I were following a story for years and one day out of nowhere I was expected to swallow down globs of Harry/Ginny with it. It was terrible enough when that happened in the canon material.

I won't try to make you read Harry/Colin or even Harry/Luna. So please don't try to talk me into writing something I can't stand or not writing something I like.
