Author has written 11 stories for Harry Potter.

Hi

My name is Robert and I’m a middle aged Scot who got hooked on Harry Potter. I quickly became disillusioned with the later books and don’t even mention that epilogue.

Didn’t discover fan fiction until summer 2007 and loved it before finally deciding to give writing a try the following summer. I came up with “A Kiss Can Save The World” and hope you like it. 'Kiss' is not something I would write now but I'm still proud of the story - it was the first I'd ever written!

My main pairing will always include Harry / Hermione, I can't seem to write Miss Granger with anyone else and refuse to kill her off. I usually like Ginny but just not with Harry, think Ron’s almost always the comic relief with Luna and Neville being two of the most underused characters in canon.

I have real difficulty understanding Jo's interpretation of Albus Dumbledore in the second half of the series. On the one hand he's this all knowing, all powerful, benevolent force for good. On the other hand, he really doesn't help Harry much and continually uses him to his own ends. Umbridge and Slughorn being only two examples of the not helping and using scenarios.

Don’t like angst or ‘will they - won't they’ where the stories over before they get together and I love to see the good guys win. Spending hour upon hour reading a story only to be left gutted by the ending is not my idea of fun. You only have to turn on the news for a daily dose of reality, fan fiction is my preferred method of escape from that.

As I write approximately six thousand words a week purely for my own enjoyment, I'm hardly likely to write something I personally don't like. All my stories will tend to be a mixture of action, adventure and romance with the occasional bit of comedy thrown in before we get to the happy ending. I don't write smut, preferring to take the James Bond movie line where you can figure out what's happening on screen without needing the graphic portrayal.

If this doesn't sound like something you would want to read – no problem! There are plenty great stories out there with more than enough room on FFN for everyone.

Pet peeve:

Can ignore bad grammar and/or bad spelling, what really turns me off a story is poor geography. Hogwarts and Hogsmead are both in Scotland, not England. Perhaps my country's looming independence referendum might bring it home to more people that Scotland is a separate country.

Have suffered two unrelated and certainly unexpected family bereavements this week, my next update will be delayed for quite a while.
