Author has written 7 stories for Harry Potter. Well it seams hard to believe but I just turned 30 and have been married almost for 7 years now and we have a 3 (almost 4)year old son. I work full time so I only have time to write on weekends. Things at work are usually quite hectic. I am an Industrial Engineer and escaping into the Harry Potter world is how I relieve stress. I love reading fanfiction so that makes it even harder to update. I write in Word and upload as I go. I usually try to update once a week, mostly on weekends, but sometimes life gets in the way. To any aspiring authors out there... do what you love and if writing makes you happy figure out a way to do it. The real world is not as exciting as it seems so stay young and if you have to grow up then make sure you enjoy what you do. God Bless, ~Redfrog 7/13/09 Update: I have been working on two new stories, one is a Harry Potter/Hermione fic and then I have begun an attempt at a Twilight fic, I am currently stuck on both and not planning on posting either until they are much closer to completion. Thanks! These are some of my favorite completed fics, some are by my favorite authors but others are not. If you are looking for a good story or two look no further than these: Harry leaves Hogwarts stories: The Brave New World by bellerophon30: This is a Harry goes to America story that I really enjoyed. I don’t always go for these stories but this one is well written and the characters are engaging. A Second Chance at Life and its sequel Changes in a Time of War (still in progress) by Miranda Flairgold: I think Miranda has to be one of the most talented fan fiction writers out there. I absolutely am amazed at the level of detail she is able to generate. Her school and world are so believable that I know she could easily publish her own work with her exquisite creativity. In my opinion this is the best story out there. Sunset Over Britain and its sequel Sunrise Over Britain by bobmin located at http://bobmin.fanficauthors.net/ : bobmin has some wonderful stories on his website but these are my favorites. Harry is smart, independent, powerful and the story is wonderfully detailed and the characters are well developed. Independent Harry Stories: Letters and Lunches by old-crow loralee1 is one of my favorite authors since she and I have similar ideas on making Harry independent. I like all of her Harry Potter stories but these ones I enjoy reading multiple times: Redefining Summer, Goblin Conspiracy, There is Only Power and Time to Live which is where my idea for The Farm came from (and am using with permission). Time Travel (not usually my cup of tea but this one was compelling): | |||||||
