Author has written 31 stories for Harry Potter.

Simplicity is Bliss is a specimen of Pongo Blondicus Pacifica, a rare American subspecies of the very small primate order of Pongidea. Her habitat shifts greatly as she migrates around her range, which stretches from several national parks in the mountains to coast. However, her central range, and the one she may be found with the most frequency, consists of a valley. Interestingly, an additional natural habitat is a black pinstipe suit. Unlike many primates, she is not omnivorous, subsisting entirely on vegetation, fruits, nuts, eggs and dairy. Blondicus Pacifica is, unusually for the genus, not arboreal, and prefers bipedalism as a main method of locomotion. Simplicity is known to scientists to be chatty and is famous for her 'ook!' usually shrieked at British scientists for reasons unknown.


I don't write one specific genre of fics, and bounce around from horror to romance to humor. I tend to write a lot of one shots, either ones associated with my current WiP or ones that can stand alone. My romances are fluffy, my humors are strange, adventures are political, and my horrors creepy and gory. You'll find more or less all my soapbox issues in my longer stories, as well as my personal philosophies. Also, large doses of history, economics, science, and politics will be found.

WiP:

Ibex: Harry Potter has traveled back to the year that shaped his life--1981; his actions will change the face of the world. A story of morality and amorality and the very thin and sometimes non-existent line between them. Dark!Evil!Harry, gore, violence

Hellion: A Marauderized Harry has been unleashed upon Hogwarts and the world at large. World, fear for your sanity! Hogwarts, run for your life! Giant squid, don't forget 1975! A Siriusly raised Harry.

Dislikes:

Bricks of text
Excessive misspellings
Black-listed pairings (see below)
Cliche
BDSM
Harem fics

Favorite pairings:
Harry-Remus/Severus/Draco/Lucius/Tom/Voldemort/Viktor Krum
Remus-Sirius
Godric Griffindor-Salazar Slytherin
Lucius Malfoy-Arthur Weasley (utterly outlandish, but cute none the less)
Az-Crowley (Good Omens)

Black-listed pairings:
Harry-Ginny (Oedipus complex, anyone?)
Incest
Remus-Tonks (mostly out of fangirlism...the pairing makes sense when you write them both as adults, rather than having Tonks be immature)
Az/Crowley-anyone else


Blanket legal spiel: I own nothing but any and all original characters used to fill out the edges of the stories I write, as well as my original plot lines. I do not use these tales for fiscal gain and no copyright infringement is intended.

Specific Legal spiel: Empire's Workshop is not affiliated with the book by the same title. I am not writing about American imperialism in Latin American--interesting stuff, but this is fanfiction. I merely borrowed the title because the idea fits the first story.

"Everything we do or try is corrupt? What are we supposed to do with our lives?”
“According to a number of prophets,” said Non, “our true calling is a lifetime of worship and nothing more.”
“Praise the lord and pass the ammunition,” said Spyder. --Spyder and Count Non, in Butcher Bird by Richard K

"That's blasphemy!" said the vampire.
..."That's what people say when the voiceless speak," replied Vimes. --Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett

"People that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do."

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

"I hate like hell to be respectable!"--Frank Walsh, Labor lawyer, Irish nationalist, Chair of the Commission on Industrial Relations
