'Allo and good day there, chaps and chapettes! Bertram W. Wooster here, and I'd just like to say it's dashed good of you all to read our little whatsit here. Me and Jeeves here are good chums you see, and we are both rather taken with this House fellow. (We're both girls...Jeeves and Wooster are pseudonyms you might say) Well, we both were rather desperate to see him end up with that green eyed gel, whats-her-name...Ah! Cameron. Well, we decided to start writing these fan whatchamacallits. Anywho, so since I'm rather helpless at keeping a story going in a linear fashion and not digressing onto some unbeaten path or other and rambling on and on and on about nothing whatsoever, sort of like ol' P. of Shakespeare's H. if you will, and as that's rather an annoying...
...I feel I must interrupt master Wooster at this time to save you all the headache. I am Jeeves, gentleman's gentleman, and as my good friend Bertram here was trying to convey, my role in this partnership is to keep the story focused. Being, if I do say so, a rather intelligent person, I also come up with many of our ideas and sparks of genius as it were. Bertram, while an affable and rather creative fellow, is often incapable of seeing the plot past the end of his nose. We hope you enjoy our little contributions to this site and wish you all the best of luck in your own literary forays.
...and I do tend to talk about nothing at all during these long rants and...oh, Jeeves...When did you come in?
Just now, sir.
Ah, yes, well, do you have anything to say to the fine readers then, Jeeves?
No, sir.
No? Well dash it all, Jeeves. What a bally thing to do. Not exactly in the feudal spirit is it Jeeves? I can not believe such behaviour. Incredulous!
Incredible, sir.
Ah, yes, quite right. Incredible. Thank you Jeeves.
Yes, sir.
Ok, all silliness aside, the essential facts are these. Jeeves and Wooster are two separate writers who have a joint account simply because most of our work (especially the earlier stuff) is cowritten. I, (Wooster) am a bit more obsessed with writing than the ridiculously busy Jeeves, so you'll see more activity from me. Jeeves and I cowrite House M.D. fanfiction, as well as one small Harry Potter piece (His Best Memories). The rest of the Harry Potter pieces are mine, while the Phantom piece is Jeeves'. I am a slow updater but will NOT abandon any of my stories. I can't speak for Jeeves, though. :) I've cowritten some works with other writers, so please check them out. "Playing Games" is cowritten with Randa05 and can be viewed on her page. It is a House fanfic. "Hope's Rebirth" "Obey!" and "The Attic" are Harry Potter fanfic cowritten with crazzyredhead and can be found on her site. "The Attic" is a semi-sequal to my one-shot "Small Magics" so if you like that story, go check it out.
FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BETA-READERS
Jeeves and I attend college together and are in our sophomore year. Her major keeps changing, but I am an English major with aspirations of being a book editor and a writer. (In that order) As such, my fanfics update slowly because I end up much more interested in reading others' than writing my own. Because of this, I have become interested in possibly becoming a BETA READER. The email address in the profile is mine if you are interested. I am good with grammar and decent at Brit-picking though I am not British. I prefer to edit Harry Potter stories and am most comfortable with the following 'ships; Harry/Ginny Harry/Draco Hermione/Ron Hermione/Snape Hermione/Draco Hermione/Fred OR George. I am, however, cool with most 'ships (Even illogical ones, as I'm stricter in my writing than in my reading and enjoy variety.), the exceptions being; anything with Umbridge (ew), incest (in a setting where it's seen as 'ok' or 'normal'...I don't mind in a horror setting) and Harry/Hermione (which I despise with a passion) I will edit any rating piece and am cool with all genres. I am okay with LOGICAL crossovers. (Meaning no anime/Harry crossover. I don't care HOW you do it, there's no way to connect Harry with ninjas of any kind. Or giant robots. Or feudal era demons.)
I have plenty experience editing and am considered by my classmates the go-to girl for that final read-through of an essay for submission. For some of my work, see the first chapter of crazzyredhead's story "Hopes Rebirth" which was edited by me. (Compare it to one of her crossover pieces which I refuse to touch) The rest of the chapters are mostly ghost-written, where she sends me plot ideas and I write it, but that first chapter is a direct edit of her work. I hate to use her this way, so I will qualify that she has AWESOME plot ideas, but no sense of correct grammar (mostly because she writes fast without looking over her work) and is therefore a good example of my editing abilities.
END BETA INFO
As for current WIPs...
"His Best Memories" is on temporary hiatus because it's cowritten with Jeeves who is supremely busy. It is a "missing moment" piece for the Harry Potter universe and is post Deathly Hallows. It is Snape-centric. Jeeves is quite obsessed.
"You Pyg!" is similarly on temporary hiatus for the same reason. It is a House M.D. A/U fanfic taking place in House's high school years. It basically involves a young Greg House being forced to play the role of Henry Higgins in his high school's musical. Involves a small side plot in which a present-day Jimmy Wilson finds a recording of the show and plans to use it to blackmail House. Minor self-insertion involved, mostly a tribute to my favorite teacher in high school. Silly and cute but with PLENTY of snark to balance it I promise.
"Exploitation..." is on a slightly more permanent hiatus, but is not abandoned. With the release of Deathly Hallows, the story has taken a new turn and will need some rewriting to fit the new focus of the story. Will still be lighthearted and silly, but now will concentrate on showing how James managed to change so much that Lily could grow to like him.
"Ramblings..." will continue whenever we feel the need to rant.
"Harry Potter's Day Off" is mostly planned out, I just need to get off my lazy arse and write it. Completely pointless and fun parody of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" within the Harry Potter universe. If you're a fan of the movie, (and who in their right mind isn't?) check it out.
"Fantasy for Truth" has hit a bit of a snag, which once I'm over it should allow the story to flow pretty smoothly. I do have other aspects of it planned out and plan to make it multi-chaptered. While I'm not as busy as poor Jeeves, I am still a college student who works as well and therefore am not exactly made of free time.
"Dichotomy" is Jeeves'. She's lost and has no idea where to take it that past phics haven't done already. I'm irritated because I think it's awesome and want her to finish. Will continue to hound her about it but don't get your hopes up...it may well be abandoned. :(
"A Different Brand of Vengeance" is a Snape/Harry parental relationship story, which is my latest obsession. Snape is an intensely complex and fascinating character and these types of stories create warm fluffies in my heart. That said, this story will NOT be fluff. It will take a long time for the relationship to develop and I'm enjoying writing it. To be honest, this will be the most frequently updated of my stories as it's the one that's grabbed my imagination most. The story tackles the idea of what would happen if Snape decided that he would exact revenge on the late James Potter, not by being cruel to his son, but by causing his son to see HIM as a father figure instead of James.
Our other fics are completed and fairly decent. If you read and reviewed them we'd be much obliged. It might cheer Jeeves up enough to carve out some time from her busy schedule.
