Yes, I'm an author in real life, mostly writing historicals with mysteries, romances and war themes,working under my own name of Sarah J. Waldock.

I'm actually trying to use my DeviantArt account, and I've uploaded a couple of pics for Ironfist and the Falcon.

yes, I do like Snape, because I'm a snarky git myself at times. I was Hermione Granger at school and it can be ... embarrassing. And no, I don't like Sirius or Remus much. I was recently told I treated them like shit, but y'know what? hardly less than they behaved to Harry in canon. Remus treated Harry like shit because he never made any effort to contact him once Harry was at school, even if Privet Drive was warded against him. He hardly told him anything about his parents. Sirius ... Sirius put revenge above his Godson! that was unforgiveable, and later he has no concept of how his own war with Snape at school has impacted on Harry, and has no intention of manning up and trying to bury the hatchet for the sake of someone he professes to love.

to the guests who have no courage:

If you want to make cowardly comments without allowing for character development please sign in so we can debate.

If you want to leave a review, can you please at least make it understandable?

Also ONCE AGAIN I DON'T LIKE Sirius Black in canon and I think Remus Lupin is a snivelling coward and I don't think a lot of James Potter either; and though I will write stories where they get over themselves, y'know, I will also write those where they don't. Don't like, then have the courage to review with a name to debate the issue. On the other hand, I quite enjoy writing stories where either or both actually man up.

so, I know the Henry Sienkiewicz trilogy isn't mainstream outside of Poland, but I don't think you have to know anything other than that it's set in 1651 in a warzone and that Jurij and Jan made a love-triangle with Helena. Give it a go, huh? I'm writing it to crossover later with my original fics.

Ok here's the lowdown; when I have writer's block in real life I write fanfiction. And it tends to be Harry Potter shorts and it tends towards farce. Because I write it to relax and to combat depression. If it has more than one chapter, it's more likely to be semi-serious at least. And if I get my mojo back I tend to wind it up in a bit of a hurry to get back to real life writing, so the ends can be a bit abrupt. I'm not apologising; I write FF for shits and giggles because I write novels for bread and butter. Live with it or don't read.

Well, the person who has been spamming me with spurious reviews to the idea - you win, I've deleted the story. If you have the shame to try it on again, you creepy stalker, I'll disable guest reviews, simple as. Sorry to everyone else having trouble with login, the berks always spoil it for others.

I have a blog at https forward slash www dot mywipwriting [dot] blogspot [dot] com. It's an eclectic mix, and I take down stories right before I publish. I now have a buymeacoffee link there, rather than going for .

I am posting previews of the draughts of my commercial WIPs from now on there, and will delete all but the first chapter when I come to publish.

DISCLAIMER: here's the legal junk.

I don't own a thing and I don't make money off any of the fics from copyrighted authors, and like the maquis girl in 'Allo 'Allo, I shall say zees only vunce. If I made as much money per word off of fan fiction as I do from original fiction I'd be very comfortably off indeed and my cats would have a maid. Just to make it clear; the author of any original for which I write fan fiction owns everything; I own nothing but OCs and my own warped sense of humour. It pleases me to borrow the characters and worlds in order to have fun with them and I promise not to fold or staple them and not to mutilate them too much. Except Molly Weasley.

I generally like to write sequels - all my Dragonriders started out as sequels when there was a long hiatus after The White Dragon - but I have developed an interest in pulling apart Harry Potter with the intent of seeing what tiny pebble could make people look at things with clearer eyes and a different outlook to the tunnel vision they were written into.

As well as my books are also available from other Amazon sources.

General Warning: It occurs to me that some readers may be sensitive to being upset due to personal experiences by some of the things I write about. I write about problems that need addressing and place them in the context of fiction. Mentions of abuse of various kinds, violence,rape, racism and homophobia as well as character deaths, senility and mental illness may be found generally in long series more than oneshots or single stories. I feel strongly about the right of all beings to have a decent life without other people making it hard for them and sometimes I'm blunt about it. I also tackle issues that people request.

PM me for what you particularly want me to follow up. I do take notice of fervent requests so far as the muse permits.

Stop press:

sternaechte https://www.fanfiction.net/u/15166860/ is translating some of my stories into German, and will be posting them on Wattpad. Thanks, sternaechte!
