Author has written 6 stories for Harry Potter. I originally created this account to track the plethora of enjoyable Harry Potter stories that can be found here. I prefer stories that skate the edge of darkness, but still have a decently upbeat resolution. From my perspective, Harry's the hero so I don't spend too much time with Foolish!Harry. Attitudes that you might find interesting, as far as the world of fanfiction is concerned. Updates will be made sporadically as funny truisms come to light. The previously unmentioned rule of possibly canon-compliant one-shots: Don't deviate from canon unless you have to. You may have a great notion about how a fight should play out differently- great. Write that. But don't hook in your secret obsession with a One True Pairing unless it has bearing on that fight. Ex: Harry fights the Basilisk but in this version is pounded into mush. Later, he recovers in Healer Pomfrey's care only to discover that he now has Looks That Kill powers. This has nothing to do with your obsession with Harry belonging with Daphne Greengrass, so don't kill Ginny with those powers unless it's a punchline. Kill Snape. It's what Harry'd want to do anyway. Journeyman writer trick: As another kind of edit, search for and remove as many words ending in -ly as you can. Adverbs are a crutch, though they can add to the poetry. Try taking them out and see if the sentences still work. If words are like Legos, those adverbs are the little antennae, flower pots and flags- often uselessly flashy and likely to fall off anyway. As an example, you'll note that 'uselessly' doesn't add much meaning to the previous sentence. (Yup- I'm still a journeyman) Join the DarkLordPotter 5-star fiction C2. They don't have my stuff listed (rightly so), but what's there is some of the best writing that this site has to offer. | |||||
