Author has written 9 stories for Harry Potter.

I write as Silver Birch over on Sycophant Hex.

I love HG/SS and HP/DM but have been known to dabble in a Snarry now and again.

The Problem with Purity, a 600K HG/SS fic (with HP/DM) is complete! It is 62 chapters long and posted in its entirety here on FF and on Ashwinder. I'm delighted to announce that it won the SS/HG award for Best Epic!

I'm woefully behind on my review responses, but hoping to slowly catch up. Please know that I appreciate every review I receive even if I don't get the chance to answer it.

Reviews and concrit are always welcome.

UPDATE June 19, 2012 *

Remember how, once upon a time, I wanted to make a map of my PwP readers? Well, I finally finished it, and took pictures of it, and stuck it all in my (poor, neglected) LJ. Take a look here: http://phoenix-writing.livejournal.com/5253.html. _

Also, Louyena has been kind enough to begin translating my fic into French! If FF doesn't eat the link, here it is: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7672404/1/The_Problem_With_Purity. Thanks, Louyena!

UPDATE May 9, 2012 *

Anyone going to Ascendio?

I'm going, and I (rather nervously) just signed up to read from The Problem with Purity while there.

Now I need your help!

1) If you're attending and think you might like to come hear me read, please send me a PM or e-mail letting me know. (I had to estimate attendees for room allocation, and I didn't have the slightest idea what to say.) I'm tentatively slotted for around 6 or 7 on the Saturday, but that's definitely still subject to change at this point.

2) Is there a particular chapter you'd like to hear? I signed up for the hour-long slot (eek!) with a max length of 9500 words (which means many of my chapters, or will with a bit of tweaking). E-mail or PM me (or leave a review!) to let me know what you'd like. There's nothing so formal as a poll and no promise that I'll pick what's been suggested, but I'd be really interested to hear recommendations and get a feel for my audience, as it were. Even if you're not attending, I'd still love your opinion.

Thanks, as always, to everyone who has provided fantastic feedback to me through reviews and PMs over the years. You've all helped shape me as an author, and I really appreciate it.
