I love to laugh. I can guarantee that a funny PM or comment on my story is far more effective than just saying 'I like this' or 'Update soon'. Trust me, I need as many laughs as I can get.

My pen name is Kukaburry, as in a misspelling of Kookaburra. I enjoy creating my own characters for most of my stories, especially Harry Potter. Yes, I do the 'character profile' thing for them. I aim to write not only an interesting plot, but a story with real feelings and character interactions. I very rarely, if ever, change the persona of well-known characters because I feel it takes away the challenge of creating a character who fits into a well-established world.

I have been accused of writing about the actors and not the characters in HP. Nope, not at all. The characters I use most often are characters I enjoyed in the book.

I am always open to PMs. I must make an addendum to this comment that if you try to flame me and your argument is nonsensical (example: why is Arie a red head, she should be blonde), invalid (example: Why are they having sex before marriage), or poorly written (example: tihs stry is trsh) then I will gather the full powers of my sarcasm and unleash them on you. I do take offense to people who are ignorant.
