quick bio

age: 21

gender: male (fraternal twin)

Location: Colorado

interests: reading, swimming, skiing, sledding, biking, waterpolo

I enjoy reading and when I became a poor college student I had to find a way to keep reading on a limited budget. I inexplicitly found myself at ff.net and have been coming back for a couple of years now. I enjoy the complexity and quality of the stories I find, and its a great form of free entertainment.

I recently went through and redid my story lists. If anyone is interested I mainly read Harry Potter genre stories, I do this because I feel their are many authors who can top JKR since I was disappointed with some of her plots (and her foresight).

My new links can be found on my newly created C2 archive gallandro's favs http://www.fanfiction.net/c2/5418/0/1/

unfortunatly the mods on ff.net decided that C2's can only hold g-pg13 stories so any R rated stories can be found on my favorite stories menu below.

Here it is my list of stories off site. You will find a mixture of ratings though most genre's tend to be H/G and no NC17.

Harry Potter and the Staff of Serpents by Aragog

It is the summer after 5th year, and all Harry really needs is time and a place to mourn. But for the reluctant, often mistreated hero of the wizarding world, misery over the loss of his beloved godfather must compete for his attention with greater and lesser things. Such as the petty depredations of the Dursleys, Ministry officials both inquisitive and obnoxious, the classes he must take to complete his education at Hogwarts, his growing attraction to Ginny Weasley, and most disturbing of all, the discovery of Lord Voldemort's new plot involving a mysterious artifact: The Staff of Serpents.
