Author has written 48 stories for Harry Potter, and Chronicles of Narnia.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever it happens to be where you are. Welcome to Anne B. Walsh's profile.

My pen name is from the Pixar movie The Incredibles, though it also refers to my general rule about people asking personal questions. Questions about my writing are eagerly answered.

To that end, I will tell you that (almost) everything I've written for the Harry Potter category is set in, or relates to, my massive alternate universe, known as the Dangerverse for its title character. Pairings are exclusively het and include RL/OC, SB/OC, H/G, R/Hr, D/L, and N/OC. I attempt to keep my OC's from becoming Mary Sues. Opinions are varied on how well I succeed. Scroll down a bit for categories and lists of stories.

My one Narnia story, And Ye Shall Receive, was written after seeing the Prince Caspian movie and is an attempt to reconcile a certain ship in the movie with book canon, as well as to address the Susan Question. There will probably not be a sequel; however, as of 2009 I am hideously overdue to update my HP/Narnia crossover and could use some encouragement.

Now then, lists:

Main Dangerverse

Living with Danger
Living without Danger
Dealing with Danger
Facing Danger

Main Dangerverse One-Shots (may contain spoilers)

Roman a Clef (must be read to be believed)
The Tale of Tercio and A Tale of Two Tales (likewise)
The Point of No Return and its sequels Return Receipt and Return for Repairs (oneshots, more inspired by DV than part of it, really deserves its own category of Returnverse)

Dangerverse Crossovers

Dangerous Truths (crossed with Neurotica's Truths series)
With Friends like These (crossed with Star Wars, oneshot but continued elsewhere)
Displaced Person (oneshot, crossed with real life, sorta)
My Brown Eyed Girl (oneshot, crossed with canon, sad)
Who You Gonna Call? (oneshot, crossed with Ghostbusters, very very wrong)
Cross the Line (crossed with canon)
The Lion, the Snake, and the Safe Room (crossed with both canon and Narnia)
Be Careful and Ever Ever After (canon crossed with an alternate DV-based world)
The Witch of the Westmoreland (loosely based on a folk song) and its odd sequel Going Home

Phew. Didn't realize I'd written so much. Hope you enjoy it!
