Author has written 16 stories for Shakespeare, and Harry Potter.

BIO:

ABOUT ME:
I like to write (obviously).
I am very into Japan, and speak Japanese (to some extent).
I am a busy person (which means I take FOREVER to update sometimes . . . I'm very sorry!).
I am extremely verbose (why be concise when one can write a novel?).
I like comments (I am a pleaser, I'm clingy, and I like feedback!).

You can comment any way you like. I am all about freedom of speech here ("I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" ~Voltaire), though I will tell you this: I will always try to be tactful in my comments to others (ie: I will always have something good to say about what you have already, even if I have some very major suggestions), so I hope you will, in turn, be tactful to me. There are ways of being diplomatic, even if you dislike my work.

ABOUT MY TOPICS: (aka that which I am so obsessed with I would actually write about . . .it's all or nothing with me!):
Harry Potter, particularly the Marauder generation, the Death Eaters, and the Black family.
Shakespeare, particularly the Tragedies, particularly Romeo and Juliet.
Les Miserables, though I have yet to see the actual musical, I have read the entire book (certain parts multiple times . . . ) and have the soundtrack, but, hey . . .

I'm big on large, clannish families, like the Capulets and Montagues of Romeo and Juliet, and the Black family of Harry Potter. I like the built-in tensions and the loyalties. Sometimes, you will find (and quite often) the two even intermingle . . .

I like to expand upon lesser-known characters (I have my favorites, of course) and fill in histories (and secrets) of many of them. I like to fill in psychological and political sides to a lot of characters, too. I am a history nut and I'll often shadow events or mindsets on real-life occurences or time periods, just for my own personal kicks.

I always, always try to stay in canon. I don't mind reading about less ordinary pairings, but they won't be so quick to pop up in my writing here, unless I can come up with a really good reason why they might have worked once upon a time.

I also have this (call it weird?) philosophy that everyone is capable of good, deep down. You will not find dark tales of corruption here-- at least not without the guilt that accompanies it, the human side. This philosophy attracts me to those characters which change places or have great epiphanies-- even at death-- such as Severus Snape, Regulus Black, or Peter Pettigrew. It also inspired the fic with my favorite premise, Of Evil.
