Speechwriter hopes everyone's Christmas was lovely and she hopes your New Year will bring you tidings of comfort and joy. Etc.


Speechwriter's rules for the internet:

For writing, Speechwriter's advice is to be respectful in two ways:

A. Be respectful as an author by trying your hardest to create what you think is your best.

B. Be respectful as a reader by assuming that the author has completed step A. Natural action to follow: Don't be rude about other people's hard work.


Speechwriter humbly suggests that you stick to reading her Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Korra works. The rest exist for sentimental value, so that when Speechwriter is old and graying, she may glance back at this page and chortle quietly to herself.

For literary consumption, the one-shots tend to be most nutritious.

Be warned. Speechwriter is a proud member of the best crackship around: Hermione Granger and Tom Riddle. She recognizes the ludicrous nature of the ship, and she embraces it. She hopes that, after cautious ingestion, you may also find this sweet and unusual treat palatable.

Fun fact: Speechwriter thinks that people who speak in third person are fancy.


A bit about Speechwriter:

Proud commercial fiction writer. Probably wouldn't know literary fiction if it walked up and bit her on the ass.

1. Like Rosin on Heartstrings reviews
It is seven months and twelve days after the fall, and Sherlock Holmes has returned to 221B under cover of night to retrieve his violin. Things most definitely do not go as planned.

3. Bent and Broken reviews
Sherlock Holmes is many things: consulting detective; non-bender; semi-sociopathic descendant of the once-Fire Lord Azula. John Watson is many things: waterbender; ex-soldier; healer; live-in P.A. to Sherlock Holmes. And the man they find in the alley is many things, chief among them, dead. This mini-murder mystery is set 90 years after Korra, with the new technology that entails.

8. Have a Nice Day! » reviews
Tom Riddle: secret, brilliant heir to the biggest company in the world, VoldeMart. Hermione Granger: sent to his prestigious school on full scholarship because VoldeMart outsourced her parents' jobs to China. Bridges burn. Sparks fly. M for language.

No one missed Riddle's pale fist tightening around the useless wand in his lap. "I am Tom," he ground out. "I am here for the sole reason that the alternative was community service." / Hermione moderates a post-Avada Kedavra support group. Chaos ensues.
