| Minerva McTabby |
Author has written 17 stories for Harry Potter, Earthsea Trilogy, Little Women, Mansfield Park, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Vanity Fair. Random parodist, hanging around the HP fandom since late 2001. Marvolo family historian, pre-HBP. Product of the Australian education system. Essential aspects of lifestyle: cats, computers, coffee, chocolate, lots of books. In the HP fandom, I'll read almost anything - gen, slash, het, Snapefics, Slythfics, Lupinfics, Riddlefics, pastfics, squick-fics, Squidfics, et cetera. I have a special fondness for oddfics, a tendency to rhyme at will, an OC who's Voldie's grandpa, an irresistible urge to mock summaries, and an inexplicable fascination with Peeves the poltergeist. You can find me as "mctabby" at Dreamwidth or at LiveJournal. Any of my writing that's too rude for FF.net is probably at AO3 or at Skyehawke or in my LJ Memories. Check out the C2 for Young Dumbledore fics: stories of Albus in his Hogwarts years or as a young man. Includes Albus turned young by a spell, or time travel. Young Aberforth and Ariana fics too. Gen, slash, het. McTabby's Random Opinions Best story in the HP fandom: the 7-fic Sacrifices Arc series by Lightning on the Wave. Best Voldemort quote in fanfic: "Potter, did your mother take Felix Felicis all through her pregnancy?" (from Twisted by cheryl_bites) Best rewrite of the "Harry and Draco meet at Madam Malkin's" scene: in Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Less Wrong Any fandom cursed with a green-eyed character will soon get bloody tired of the word "emerald" popping up in fanfics. Fandom's best Sorting Hat song - by Textualsphinx, to the tune of Mac the Knife: "I'm the hat that / Reads your mind, dears, / And there's nothing / You can hide..." | |||||
