Author has written 5 stories for Harry Potter.

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE

I’m in my mid-thirties, British and when I can spare the time from my job, and what my family call a busy social life, have some free time and a bit of inspiration to work with, enjoy writing.

As an addicted fan of Harry potter, I'll read most things with a decent plot, good grammar, and realistic characterisation. I like most parings, although Hermione/Draco and Ginny /Draco have to be my favourites, however unrealistic they may be.

Thanks to everyone who has left reviews for my stories. You provide the motivation, inspiration and confidence I need to keep writing.

I’m aware that I should update more often, but like everyone else using this site, have a life outside fanfiction. I rarely find the time to write without interruption. Also, my chapters are very long, and often I have to work out plot sequences and mull them over before writing them down. The stories deal with some pretty complex issues and it sometimes takes me a while to get my own head round them, let alone manipulate the characters into an accurate portrayal of my thoughts and ideas. This is why the minimum rating is T, not so much for the actual content but the academics behind it. Please take note of this and don’t read them if you’re under the age of thirteen.

I know of a few stories out there which have tried plagiarising my work and think that such so called authors, are nothing less than scum! I’d appreciate it if people could let me know if they come across stories of this nature, the quicker we can put a stop to plagiarism, the better for all concerned.

14 august 2016, finally I'm back in the world of fanfiction. In the intervening years I've continued writing but just not published. As a consequence, I've a heck of a lot of stuff that needs beta reading, including a new Hermione/Salazar epic that has a sequel - already written, plus updates to all my current stories, and a few new stories. I therefore need a beta urgently. If you can spare the time, have good grammar, are used to the UK rules of English, and would like to take on the task of beta-reading for me. Please drop me a line.
