![]() Author has written 39 stories for Harry Potter, StarTrek: The Next Generation, West Wing, Frozen, StarTrek: Voyager, Battle Creek, and Life is Strange. (Updated 08/02/2021) Clearly the below is out of date. I haven't written anything fanficcy for four years and will probably not write anything else anytime soon. Life gets in the way. This may change, of course, but probably not anytime soon. (Updated 17/10/2016) Welcome to my profile page! I write mostly Harry Potter or West Wing fanfiction, usually with a romantic bent or a skewed idea, although I've written a couple of other things as well. I've written parody, romans-a-clef, angst, historical fiction, crackfic and straight romance. If the stats are correct, chances are you're here for one of four things - "How Xenophilius Lovegood Saved Britain", my first completed story on this site; "Protection From Nargles" and its sequel "Harry and Luna Against the High Inquisitor", which is a work in progress; "Get It Together", my West Wing story in progress; or either of my ongoing drabble collections. But there's lots of stuff here. ("Harry and Luna Against the High Inquisitor" and "Get It Together" are still in progress in that I haven't abandoned them, but it's been extremely slow going with them.) I've written long stories and a lot of one-shots. If you're looking for a quick read or a long one, they're both in here. If you're looking for something really short, I have a series of Harry Potter drabbles which I've had fun writing, and a similar series of West Wing drabbles. There's some Life is Strange drabbles and some Battle Creek drabbles. Hopefully you find something you like below. Like most authors, I love reviews, and if you have anything you want to ask me about any of my stories, please feel free to PM me. And people seem to want to know a little bit about the author, so here you go, anyone who's interested. I'm a forty-two-year-old professional living in Western Canada whose interests include fanfiction (rather obviously), history, politics, watching various team sports, mixing cocktails, drinking craft beer, and playing board games. I first wrote fanfic in 1998, and have been writing it somewhat continuously since 2011. My pen-name is a background character in James Blish's "Cities in Flight" series of novels from the 1950s. My current author avatar is Prince Rupert of the Rhine. On Harry Potter canon, I haven't been following Pottermore, and I don't particularly plan on incorporating any of the changes J. K. Rowling continues to make to Harry Potter canon post-publication via Pottermore, interviews, plays, films and whatnot. My perspective is that if it isn't in the books, it isn't canon, and I'm going to adopt it only if I like it or think it's useful to my story. There's not going to be a Rolf Scamander in most of my stories, for example, although he's there in "Pair the Spare". Luna's mother's name is not going to be Pandora unless I so decide. And my Dolores Umbridge is a Hufflepuff, despite what Pottermore says - not least of which because I think having every evil wizard and witch be in Slytherin is far too cliché. Ultimately, this is fanfiction, and if I wasn't going to be messing with canon, I wouldn't be writing it in the first place! For a more tongue-in-cheek look at this issue, see Chapter 50 of my Harry Potter Drabble Pit. Thanks for reading my stories. |
