According to my stats, some people have been looking at this, so maybe I ought to put something here:
I was born at a young age in a log cabin I built for my mother... ah, no.
I was born in 1952 in Visalia Ca, graduating from Redwood High. Following HS I enlisted in the US Navy and spent my youth defending the free world.
After retiring in 1994 I have decided to spend my oldth fighting the good fight against ignorance and evil. Needless to say I'm losing.
I hold a BS in Computer Science and push ones and zeros around for a living. Fun, fun, fun.
That's me in a nutshell, though how I got into said nutshell is still a mystery.
Currently I have 15 stories out:
"Here There Be Dragons" - My thoughts on what might have happened if Harry hadn't managed to quite master 'accio' for the 1st task of the TriWizard Tourney. Remember it never hurts to ask. This one shot is complete I intended it as humor, and have been told once or twice I succeeded.
"Legitimate Businessmen" - Why it's a good idea to get that trip insurance. - Done
"Dark Lord Prevention" - Luna has a plan for preventing Dark Lords and an explanation for their creation. - Done
"Narrative Causality" - Harry controls the universe. - Done
"The Power he has not" - What if Riddle managed to take Harry's magic away and incorporate it into his own? An AU 7th year with no Mind Raping Hermiones, No Wife and Child abandoning Remuses, no explanations for objects that have been around since book one that contradict things that have come before, and no making Dumbledore out to be more of an manipulative ass than he was in the first 6 books. A funnyish fic with serious moments. - Done.
"Merlin's Reaper" - My take on the 'Super Harry has won, but has lost all the reasons he fought for, so why not have an extremely contrived plot device that depowers him down to mere superman level and puts him in a position to have a second chance to kick Volde's butt, all the while protecting what he holds dear this time. Dark. Dark. Dark.' fic. Not funny at all. At least not intentionally.
"Acts of Betrayal" - My take on the 'Everyone has lied to Harry about pretty much everything except Hermione (who was pretty much used and abused herself) and the Goblins' FIC. Again, not funny at all. At least not intentionally.
"Trademark Dispute" - What happens when Voldemort pushes Harry too far, and he unleashes the most fearsome weapon in his arsenal... The Mind of Hermione Granger. - Done
"The Distaff Side" - An AU where Voldemort knows the prophecy, following his rebirth after the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is banished to another reality, due to Voldie believing that as long as Harry is alive, only Harry can kill him. Harry/Luna eventually.
"The Hufflepuff Omniverse" - A very AU, very silly story wherein Harry is sent to an alternate reality by a petulant Voldemort, and the Hufflepuff Collective is not pleased.
"The Marriage Contracts" - My take on the "The war is over, Harry won, but now he has several thousand Marriage Contracts" cliche. Harry's justifiably mad at Dumbles, the Weasleys and Remus. Hermione's with Ron and lost to him. Neville is his new best friend and the only one with him at the final confrontation. Seventh year is just beginning, now what for the hero?
"The Darkest night" - DC Comics crossover. What happens when a small blue man gives Harry the universe's ultimate weapon just after 3rd year?
"The Invincible Technomage" - Marvel Comics crossover. Vernon Dursley has a business trip to the States to clench a contract with Stark International. During a tour of the industrial facility with his family there is an accident leaving a single not quite 5 year old survivor.
"The Big Box of Silliness" - an anthology collection of one shots that may or may not ever be fleshed out into stories.
"Hogwarts the Musical" - The Slytherins put on a show...
What did I want?
I wanted a Roc's egg. I wanted a harem loaded with lovely odalisques less than the dust beneath my chariot wheels, the rust that never stained my sword. I wanted raw red gold in nuggets the size of your fist and feed that lousy claim jumper to the huskies! I wanted to get up feeling brisk and go out and break some lances, then pick a likely wench for my droit de seigneur -- I wanted to stand up to the Baron and dare him to touch my wench! I wanted to hear the purple water chuckling against the skin of the Nancy Lee in the cool of the morning watch and not another sound, nor any movement save the slow tilting of the wings of the albatross that had been pacing us the last thousand miles.
I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The game's afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin.
I wanted Prester John, and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon. I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is.
