Well, I love Harry Potter, and I ship Harmony. I hate Hermione/Ron, mostly because Ron makes Hermione cry just about every book (and if he doesn’t, he makes up for it in the next) and I find nothing romantic about that. So feel free to call me Delusional or Militant (I‘m crazy enough to take it as a compliment), but please don’t tell me to reread the books, because I have. You can keep your anvils--I prefer my hippogriffs. Oddly enough, one of my best friends ships R/Hr, so we argue (It's less of an arguement and more of a debate, really) over ships all the time. She, however, has never called me either name, nor has she told me to reread the books. She's cool like that.
Oh, and Hermione is my favorite character, so you can pretty much depend on her being the main character of my stories. I may branch out eventually, but I’m bookwormy myself, so I’ll stick to what I know.
I also love the Phantom of the Opera, and I definitely think Christine should have stayed with Erik. I’m a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well, and I still ship Buffy/Angel and Willow/Oz.
That’s pretty much me in a nutshell.
Fair warning, any stories I post will be HHr, but I’m not going to beat you over the head with it. I’m not really big on romance, so I try to keep it toned down. I’m a firm believer that romance belongs in romance novels and that romance should be kept at a low level in Action/Adventure stories, so you can trust that there will be no lemons in anything I write. However, you can count on me putting in references to my ship. Be on the look out for characters named Harmony, the words Kindred Spirits, portkeys, and Pumpkin Pie. I'm quirky like that.
Also, JKR recently decided that Hermione's middle name is no longer Jane. It's Jean now. The problem there is that I happen to like Hermione Jane better than Hermione Jean. As such, I'll keep her first middle name (did that make sense?). I mean, really now, who cares if her middle name is that same as Umbridge's? So Hermione Jane it is.
Stories
Home: The second story I started, and the first to be finished. With only three chapters, it’s not really surprising, compared to my other story. I’m particularly proud of this story, not only because it’s the first story I’ve finished, but also because it’s the most original thing I believe I’ve ever come up with. To my knowledge, there is no other story like Home, as Home takes place entirely in the afterlife. In fact, it begins when Harry is in the process of crossing over. The story was inspired by Albus Dumbledore‘s quote: “After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
Time, Interrupted: My first story, and part one in a trilogy. It’s turning out to be much longer than the original seventeen chapters I had planned. In this story, Hermione’s soul is sent back in time after she is murdered to try and prevent Harry from turning into the next Dark Lord. The problem is that she accidentally went back to the age of six. Worse, Hermione quickly learns that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions when a good deed on her part has disastrous results. Time, Interrupted covers the younger years for Harry and Hermione, and while I can’t tell you their exact ages when the story ends, I can tell you that it will be well before they are teenagers.
Future Works
Life, Interrupted: Part two in a trilogy. This story would cover the Dark Harry. It will show Harry’s descent into Darkness, Hermione’s death, how Harry gained control, and so on. It’s the companion piece to part one. It will also offer some insight into Hermione’s rather interesting dreams in the first story.
Love, Interrupted: Part three in a trilogy. This one would be the sequel to both parts one and two, so it will conclude the story line for both timelines. It will be set several years after the end of Time, Interrupted.
Snake Charmer: A complete and total AU that has been haunting me for some time now. I’ve read many stories where Harry was sorted into Slytherin, but this story will be what would have happened if by some strange twist of fate, Hermione was sorted into Slytherin. This story is still in the stages where it’s a jumble of ideas in my head. When I get some spare time I’ll actually write an outline for it.
The trouble here is that I have so many stories I would love to write, but can’t really choose between all of them. The temptation to write all of them at once is rather powerful, but I’m well aware that it wouldn’t be very fair to anyone reading my stories. Unlike many authors, I can’t have seven stories going at once and still update regularly. On top of that, I have college and a job to balance. C'est la vie.
Cheers,
