'Loten' is an Old English word, meaning moonlight bright enough to see by, according to the story I got it from.

September 6th 2023: New long fic is still in progress but currently on hold due to real life problems. I'm estimating that the first draft is maybe 3/4s done at this point. Note: you only get email alerts from FFN now if you opt in under Account Settings (this is a terrible change).

I did a thing! More precisely, an author interview!
Find it here: relishredshoes (dot) tumblr (dot) com/post/184220751800/interview-taken-from-the-severus-snape-and
here: www (dot) facebook (dot) com/groups/199718373383293/
here: www (dot) tumblr (dot) com/blog/relishredshoes
and here: sshg-hub (dot) livejournal (dot) com/129691 (dot) html
Some of these links may not work, the first one should at least.

I ran a blog with Explopyro here: pointstick (dot) wordpress (dot) com. You should stop by and browse - we have book reviews, including some Harry Potter shredding, some rambling, some serious topics, all sorts.

If anything should ever happen to my account or my stories, check it out and I shall post to let everyone know what's going on and where I will be moving to. Until then, this is the only place I will be posting my fics. If one appears somewhere else, tell me, because it wasn't me.

A note - I will eventually be cross-posting on archiveofourown. You know, when I stop procrastinating and actually do it.

I will never abandon a story half way through. I will never upload the first chapter of a story unless I have a rough draft of the entire story already completed. I will never upload the first chapter of a story unless I am happy with the rough draft and confident that I can complete it to a standard I am satisfied with. (This is one reason why I haven't posted anything new in forever.)

The only things that would ever stop me completing a story are computer issues or serious real life issues. When uploading a story, I will do my best to update it every few days; once a week at the longest. If I ever do stop updating mid-story, there will be a message at the top of my profile (and on my blog) explaining why. If there isn't, and I don't reappear within a fortnight, I'm probably dead.

Severus and Hermione will never have children in any of my HP fics. I've seen it done well, but mostly it's bad and OOC, and it doesn't work with my personal headcanon. If I can't make it believable in my own head, I know I can't write it. Other authors can and have, and good luck to them, but it's not going to happen in my writing.

Translations:
I'm always happy to grant permission if you want to translate anything I've written (though if you take on one of the long ones, make sure you have time to finish it, please). If it's not on this list, I haven't authorised it. If you notice that any of the long translations haven't been updated in a while, let me know - if I can't get hold of the person translating, I'm happy to let someone else take over.
