Author has written 9 stories for Harry Potter, Big Bang Theory, Highlander, Doctor Strange, and Marvel.

Hello!

If you can’t tell from my work, I like Harry Potter, Marvel, The Big Bang Theory, and asking questions of plot holes/flaws/alternatives.

My chapters tend to be quite short, with an irregular upload rate, and the reason for this is twofold. 1)Before becoming a fanfic writer, I did Neil Gaiman’s Masterclass. In one lesson, he talks about conciseness – saying what needs to be said, and what you want to say, in as few words as possible. 2) When I write, I have what I think of as an “Inspiration Pipeline”. When the inspiration flows, I can write, but when it shuts off, I can’t – and I have no control of when it does so, or for which story the pipe is flowing.

Some of my stories are connected, in what I have come to think of as a universe called the Marvel Literary Wizarding World. These are:

Professor Strange

Harry Potter & The Dark Dimension

The Serpent Becomes A Lion

A Shoulder To Cry On

A Shoulder To Cry On and The Serpent Becomes A Lion are spin-offs from Professor Strange. To get the context for them, I’d suggest you read Professor Strange first.

My other stories are:

Pointing Out The Obvious - A collection of one-shots, each unconnected to anything else, save that they revolve around a Harry who uses his brain a bit more.

The Night Is Dark And Full Of Terrors – A dark story, set in an AU where Voldemort was stealthy when he went to Godric’s Hollow, and the ramifications of that.

The Incarceration Deviation – My one Big Bang Theory story, which I haven’t touched since uploading what little there is, because I have no idea how to proceed with it. It asks “What if Sheldon did rat Leonard out to the authorities in the incident with the rocket fuel?”

Things I have ideas for, but are as yet unwritten beyond the concept/ working title/first couple of hundred words:

The Subtle Science and Exact Art – A Snape story, where he’s still presenting a front of being an unpleasant person, but not when it comes to teaching.

“Game Night” – a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine story in which Sisko learns of the 21st Century Earth entertainment “Board Game Night”, and decides to have one.

“Walk on the Wesen Side” – a Grimm story, post-season 6, in which a family with adopted Wesen kids moves in next door to Munro and Rosalee – but the kids don’t know about Wesen. Hilarity/adorableness ensues.

A story about Dudley Dursley – to say anything about this would be spoilers.

Inspired by an r/hpfanfiction prompt post, a story in which Petunia is a fantasy writer, and Vernon a stage magician, thus fully accepting of Harry.

A Harry Potter/Discworld crossover, in which Hogwarts becomes home to a clan of Nac Mac Feegles.

Finally, a note about reviews.

I like them – when they’re positive, obviously. Of course I do, all authors do. What we like especially, though, is reviews that provide actual feedback. A review that says “Good chapter”, though welcome, falls in significance in the face of a review where the reviewer actually says what they found good. As such, if you read something of mine, and you like it: Please leave a review, and say what you liked!

Harry Potter and the Swordmistress of Gryffindor reviews
After taking multiple Stunners to the chest during Order of the Phoenix, Professor McGonagall lies there for a moment, then gets back up again, and draws a sword from her robes. "There can be only one!" she shouts. Minerva McGonagall is not her birth name. She was born Fiona MacLeod in 1673. She is immortal, and she is not alone. She is the newest bearer of the title - Highlander.
