About Me

I love having a good laugh and that's probably why my penname is what it is. Pirates of the Caribbean just happens to be my favourite rainy-day movie (plus its sequels). I've been dabbling in fanfiction (reading and writing) since 2005, but I only began publishing my work in late 07. I've written for plenty different fandoms, however I set high standards for myself and if I feel something is even the slightest bit crap, it never sees the light of day. That doesn't mean that I don't write for the fun of it though.

Tidbits regarding my writing...

No violation of copyright intended with my work - I'm quite sure I'll list everybody that needs listing beyond this point.

Music takes massive credit for my inspiration. Without it, I'd be clueless over what to write half the time.

I use British English (BrE) all the time.

I take grammar checks very seriously, although I do slip up at times.

I write a lot of death in my stories but occasionally, I like to write the cute, fluffy, happy story too, so don't be too discouraged.

The only time I ever wrote slash was for a Dumblewald story, and I don't know if it'll even happen again. I was never very good at it.

I do like it when I get reviews because I get to hear what you readers think, but you're not obliged to leave any. I understand the concept of a phantom reader, and sometimes people who read don't leave their trace, and that's okay.

My homepage (back up the screen!) - that blogspot account - is for drabbly stuff and random, fleeting thoughts and whatnot.

Need to know anything else? Feel free to send a message! I reply to every one. I try to reply to reviews just as much too.

However, when a foray with the time-turner goes terribly wrong and leads the trio further than they intend to go, Harry, Ron and Hermione find themselves in 1933. They then stow away on the S.S.
