Author has written 19 stories for Star Wars, and Harry Potter. ~~29 January 2010~~ Hey all: Happy New Year, all! Massive explanations owed and I don't have any to give. I won't make lame excuses you've all heard before. Just a quick reassurance that I have not abandoned Bend It Like Weasley - not even a little. An almost-complete chapter sits waiting to be completed and edited. I'm so close - I just haven't been doing a great job of making the time to finish this puppy. Thanks to everyone who has been emailing, leaving wonderful reviews, and sticking with me these long long years. Big hugs and thanks to all! Love, J.T. ~~6 July 2008~~ A note to thank deeply the people who've reviewed "What It Means to Let You Go." You guys are amazing - truly, profoundly amazing. Thanks so much for the lovely encouraging reviews. I'm sorry I made a few people cry _ I cried, too, if it's any consolation. Just a thankful shout-out. I write for you! Yeah, I plan to write more in that universe, so not to worry! Tristy/Hayden, for sure, some earlier stuff when Harry's still alive, etc. If anyone has specific requests, I'll look into them and get back to you. Just leave them in messages or reviews. I read all my reviews. Anyway who's interested, I've also got a Live Journal while I'm abroad in South Korea. It's meant to be silly and amusing, not boring and filled with "oh, what a beautiful new world I've discovered" crap. More along the lines of "today I went to hospital and was embarrassed within an inch of my life" skits. Or the fated, "today I thought I'd lost my passport and was in hysterics till I found it in a purse I'd already emptied" skits. In fact, mostly skits. I'd love to have my readers there with me as well _ It's at clever-pooh.livejournal.com. Loves! J.T Current stati (is that the plural for status?) of WIP stories are as of 12 October 2008: ~~Bend It Like Weasley: New chapter as of 2 August 2009. Hope you all enjoy it! ~~Potter vs. Malfoy: Bridging The Gap: COMPLETE. Chapter 6 new and improved as of 8 April 2009 and off-shoot fic What It Means to Let You Go now up, too! ~~The Joke's On You: COMPLETE! Chapter 5 up as of 31 August 2007. ~~Sometimes, I Even Amaze Myself: is UPDATED and on FictionAlley as of 17 November 2006. Check it out under my username, Tess_E_Pooh or see the link in the BTG opening chapter! Having said all of this, I hope each of you have found information that my alleviate your - er, anxiety (?) re: updates. Love, JT I'd hate for you to waste your time trying to figure out which genres/pairings I write for, so here's the low down: Harry Potter - Gotta love him! I deal in: ~~Ron/Mione. All my stories have them, even if they're on the side somewhere and/or I write pre-Ron/Mione romance. It'll eventually come back to Ron/Hermione, and we all know it. 16 Feb - this is now no longer true, thanks to Bend It. But it did feature FORMER R/H, so I think it sorta still counts! ~~Gin/Draco.Honestly, the best written fics are Ginny/Harry. Admit it, Ginny/Draco is too surreal and unlikely. However, I write it anyway, to please myself and some of my more rabid Ginny/Draco shippers. Gotta admit, they're a striking couple . . . ~~Harry/Blaise Zabini (female). Harry can't have Ginny (except in my earlier crap fics) but he CAN have Blaise. They'd look awfully dramatic together, wouldn't they? Again, a bit surreal and unlikely, but who's counting? ~~On another note, I very much enjoy a male Blaise Zabini (which is canon, you know), so some of my fics feature him as well. This may get confusing, but it's fairly obvious which gender is featured in each separate fic. NOTE: One of my stories DOES include mild slash. You have been warned. Authors to read: ~~Lee Velviet ~~Davesmom (!) ~~Silver Phoenix - Her BRILLIANT spoofs have been removed from ff.net along with thousands of reviews from her FU fans. Go to her website and read the spoofs,I tell you! Also read ALL HER WORK on ff.net, because it ROCKS! Ron/Hermione fans - you will LOVE this girl! ~~Casca - A WONDERFUL author I'd recommend to anyone who gets kick out of really powerful, GOOD writing. Like me. Even though she, like me, has updating issues, she is definitely worth the wait and very good at plot advancement and characterization. GO READ HER STUFF - she's here on FF.net. ~~Serendipity - this author not only writes a good story, but she WRITES well. I could probably read any pairing if she wrote it. This one is gifted with words! Go read "A Muted Sort of Longing". ~~Maya - She's not on FF.net, that I know of, but she IS on FictionAlley.org, archived in Schnoogle. She is the only author to convince me that Draco/Harry is even a remotely possible ship and certainly one of the only authors to coax me into loving it. In fact, I love everything she has written and, like Serendipity's work, will read ANYTHING Maya writes because she is pure, pure genius. She's all over FictionAlley and has her own website with goodies galore. Dark humor, darkness, and the best Draco characterization you will find ANYWHERE - that's a promise! ~~PhoenixSong - Can't say enough about this AMAZING chica. She's written a smashing piece on FictionAlley called "Eclipse". Read and enjoy a truly excellent writer's incredible first epic. (Latest) Fave quote: "He said, 'Can I come in? I bring you tidings of great joy and it isn't even Christmas.' | |||||||||
