NOTE TO ANYONE PM'ing ME ABOUT 'COLLABORATION'/ARTWORK/SOCIALS': Don't. Just Don't. I'm not interested in chatting up random spambots about whatever BS they're peddling today. If you have soemthing you actually want to discuss in PMs, I'm more than happy to do so. If you've created artwork and want to show it to me, drop a URL to the image (NOT your site in general, JUST the individual image(s)), but anything else will be summarily ignored.

I've been reading fanfiction since 1992, when I was first introduced to it on USENET. I've dabbled in a few fanfic ideas over the year, but now (20 years later) I've finally decided to take the next step and publish something. I have some grandiose ideas about large arc HP fanfic, but who knows if they'll ever come to fruition. In the mean time, I'll be posting whatever manages to come out, which at least for now seems to be all HP stories.

My guest review policy: I don't mind guest reviews, as long as they're respectful and understandable. I know not everyone wants to or can provide a signed review, and that's OK. I just ask that you keep the following in mind:

1. I write for me, not for you. If a story isn't your cup of tea, that's just fine. If you have something constructive to say (such as suggestions as to what you would like better), feel free. I'll probably ignore you, but if it's not obnoxious I probably won't delete it either. One other thing: if you read 30 chapters of a story and then send a review stating that it sucks or is boring or whatnot, you don't have a whole lot of credibility. If you really didn't like it you would have stopped long before reaching the end...
2. If you ask a question or make a comment that you would like a response to, oh well. I cannot and will not reply to guest reviews, even if they're well written and thought provoking. If you really want an answer outside the text of the story itself, submit a non-guest review.
3. If you specifically tell me you're sending a guest review and you specifically tell me you're doing so to prevent me from responding to you, I will delete the review without reading the rest of it.
4. Telling me all the things you don't like about my story while providing no way to discuss it is non-productive. As much as I'm interested in improving my writing, and I may even agree with you on some things, I'm not going to just change things without a conversation. Submit a non-guest review (or PM) and we'll talk.

Works in progress:

Possession Is Nine-Tenths of the Law - Update 6/5/25: This is materially complete, but I'm still polishing it up. Hopefully I'll be done and ready to publish it soon.
Seeing a Lifetime Through His Glasses - Update 6/5/25: Chapter 2 is in process, not sure how much more there will be or if there's a definite end point yet. Just going with it while the muse is interested.
'Till Death Do Us Part - something that's been bouncing around in my head since before I posted my first fanfic, and has finally solidified into something I can write up. And despite the name, it has nothing to do with marriage (contracts or otherwise) or any parings whatsoever...
It's the End of the World As We Know It... - Outline Stage. Harry flat out refuses to participate in the TriWizard Tournament after his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, knowing that if he loses his Magic it's not really a big deal since he grew up without it. His refusal and subsequent actions (and the fallout from them) turns Magical Britain on its head. Probably going to be a lot of bashing of pretty much anyone and anything that Harry sees as not helping him. :D
From a Certain Point of View - Outline Stage. A full expansion of Truth In Advertising, starting with the idea that Harry realizes that EVERYBODY in the Magical world has been lying to him in some way or another...

Works on the maybe list:

Sheeple - a pseudo-sequel to Dark Lord, Me?, may or may not see the light of day. I wrote a bunch, and then decided it wasn't working, so back to the drawing board...
Harry Potter: A Force To Be Reckoned With (working title) - Full arc redo currently in only notes/outline stage. Not sure where this is going yet or if it will ever happen, but it's far enough along now that I really want to make it happen. Update 7/22/16: At this point, after what happened to make LLTQ explode, I'm not sure if I'll be doing it or not. But it's definitely not dead yet :) Update 6/5/25: While I haven't really done much more with this, it keeps poking me with ideas. But it's still very much on the back burner as other things keep pushing harder.
