My God, it's full of fanfics.

Something Wicked will be updating on Saturdays until it's done. Why? Because I've finished it, and I wish to be cruel and make you wait.

Also, and I'm going to put this in bold cause it's important: Guest reviewers who leave flames are worthless cowards.

My Stories:

Elsewhere, but not Elsewhen - It Updates When It Updates. End of fifth year. Voldemort tosses Harry into an alternate dimension at the end of the Ministry debacle. There, he has to deal with the Potter family, including their Hufflepuff son Harry, re-meeting all of his friends, and a still strong connection to the Dark Lord who sent him on his way. Harry/OC.

Something Wicked This Way Comes - Almost done. After fifth year. Before Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. With Voldemort's return, Harry, Hermione, and Ron get the bright idea of summoning a demon to help kill the Dark Lord. Except, when the summoning ritual comes from Luna Lovegood, nothing goes the way it's expected. Beta'd by Kyouzou and Luan Mao. What chapters, I'll figure out later.

The Terrible Ideas Bin - Forever In Progress. My bin of strangeness. They won't always be story beginnings. Sometimes it'll just be snippets of conversation that I have. If you use anything in it, drop me a pm with a link to the story so I can read it and link to it. This is the one that updates whenever I feel like it. Mostly because I never remember to update it on Saturdays.

Jamie Evans and The Lonely Queen - Started. The continuing adventures of Jamie Evans in having a child, being a teacher, and dealing with Things Beyond Human Ken. Won't be posted until it's good and ready to be posted.

Jamie Evans and Fate's Fool - COMPLETE. Time Travel. Harry steps back in time, with plans, plans within plans, and plans within plans within plans. Except he didn't realize one damn thing: He's fate's chewtoy, and she's going to make him bend over and take it. Honks. Beta'd by Lens of Sanity. Renamed due to FFN's Administrative Tactical Nuclear Strike.

The Monsters of Man - COMPLETE. ONE SHOT. Begins before "Asuka Attacks". Post Godzilla 1985/Gojira Returns. Instead of Mount Asama, Sandolphan appears in Mount Mihara. Can the Evangelions, weapons made to defeat the Messengers of God, destroy humanity's greatest mistake?

Breath of Fire: Of Thieves and Men - On Long-term Hiatus. AU. There was a plot to take over the country, as I recall. There were gods involved, too. I didn't make very many notes. I may, eventually, come back to this, if only because I rarely walk away from something permanently.

I spent a lot of time as a volunteer in a nursing home in Amherst last summer. I was reading Dante's Divine Comedy to an old man, Mr. Shulman. One day, I asked him where he was from. He said, 'Just east of here, the Rockies.' I said, 'Mr. Shulman, the Rockies are west of here.' He did a voilà with his hands and then said, 'I move mountains.' That stuck with me. Fiction either moves mountains or it's boring; it moves mountains or it sits on its ass.

Subplots are like candy. Oh, sure, they may look colorful and sweet and tasty, but if you keep stuffing them in your face, then not only is your story going to get tremendously fat, but pretty soon it's going to find itself in a displeased-looking editor's chair with a thousand enormous plot holes in its teeth that now have to be filled in.

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings. They did it by killing all those who opposed them.

Kurt Vonnegut's Tips on Writing (I post this, as though I follow them)
1 - Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2 - Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3 - Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4 - Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.
5 - Start as close to the end as possible.
6 - Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7 - Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8 - Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
