Author has written 42 stories for Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Mighty Boosh, Torchwood, Merlin, Sherlock, Supernatural, Sweep, Old Kingdom/Abhorsen series, Life on Mars, Discworld, M*A*S*H, and Chronicles of Narnia.

Afternoon, all.

Big things about me: I'm a huge Harry Potter and Doctor Who fan, among other things. I'm studying English Literature at York St John University. Beyond that...well, we'll see.
You can find me on livejournal here: http://hermitknut.livejournal.com. I'm also floating around whofic and mugglespace under the same username. Feel free to just start talking to me, I promise I won't assume you're a stalker.
I'm not very computer-literate (I grew up reading books more than on the web :D) so I don't know how to make icons or anything clever as that. I do, however, offer to the world my services as a beta :) Particularly in the areas of grammar, plot-hole-filling and brit-picking (being British myself). I also will write fanfiction on request (presuming I'm not drenched in uni work at the time), and I write in a lot of different fandoms. Predominantly, however, I stick to Harry Potter, Merlin, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. I will beta most things you chose to throw at me!

All for All/A Recovery in Moments/Lightning Clan: Right. That's the order they go in, to start with. :) The second part of Lightning Clan, Master of Instinct, is in the process of going up. Information about the entire story can be found here on my journal: http://hermitknut.livejournal.com/63698.html. It's my monster beast, and is a complete story. It will be posted every Friday (fingers crossed!) barring the odd show night or two, at some point during the day/evening, on here and on my journal [update: I'm very behind on my LJ posting, but I will catch up.]. I am also posting on Mugglenet Fanfiction, but as that is a modded archive I can't guarantee a specific posting date. I will simply submit the next chapter when a) the first has been accepted and b) it's not likely to beat chapters on ff.net or LJ. Simple enough? Any questions or curiosities (I'm always looking for regular SPaG betas, by the way), drop me a PM or a review. CURRENT STATUS: Delayed. I am now back to posting regularly, and hopefully I'll be able to slide a couple of extra posts in to catch up what I missed. Thanks!

That's all for now :)

1. 2: Master of Sight » reviews
Lord Voldemort is dead. Here's to a happy ending; or not. Post-war life is far more complex than anyone expected. After a devastating blow so early, the Potters are left reeling – but it's only the beginning. With the death of outright evil, something more subtle has taken its place, and one wizard may not be enough. This time, it takes a whole family. Part 2 of Lightning Clan.
