Author has written 1 story for Harry Potter.

Check out my Projects section to see what I'm up to


I'm a big fan of puns. They just blow me away.

My name is Richard I like my dogs, reading, writing, video games, working with my hands etc. I dislike Oxford Commas.

I read a lot of Harry Potter and Naruto and I dip into the DBZ and RWBY sections every once in a while. I used to write a lot of fanfiction but when I went to college I stopped all that and deleted all of my work. I'm sure I'd be disgusted if I looked back on it all. The written language has always been a passion of mine - and so naturally I went and got a technical degree (two actually, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering). But after reading fanfiction for the better part of ten years I have found less and less stories able to capture my interest. That might be because I have simply read them all or because I'm starting to become much more picky grammar wise.

In any case - I've decided to start writing to get the ideas in my head out.

Projects!

Like a Marionette - Wormtail is no traitor - but even the heart of a Gryffindor can be broken by the terrible power of Lord Voldemort. The Potters are not discovered until the Halloween after Harry's sixth birthday. They were not ready. And Harry will never be the same. AU from the beginning! There will eventually be romance but it will take awhile to form.

Just posted Chapter 9... Sorry it's been so long.

The Seventh Swordsman by Blackwolf501 reviews
"My sword is yours in victory and defeat", Naruto remembered pledging those words to the Second Mizukage as he became one of the feared Seven. He swore to defend Kiri, to protect its people and serve its Kage until his dying breath. But he also made another vow, one more dear to his heart: "Family. Duty. Honor". Now he must choose: A Path of Honor? A Path of Duty?

Less Than Zero by Kenchi618 reviews
It's one thing to enter the world of heroes and villains, it's another thing entirely to find your way back out again. That's a bitter truth to swallow when you want no part of the life to begin with. A hasty decision from a young man with his back against the wall sends him down a path of which there is no return.

Synchronicity by slexenskee reviews
Ever since the seal broke, Naruto's life has changed. He's been thrust into ANBU: he's starting to lose sight of which half is him and which half is his demon, he can't seem to find his way back to team seven, and he's been having these weird dreams - with a sky wrenched apart by a broken moon, a man with a staff, and a version of him with glowing, nine-tomoe eyes.

Patriot's Dawn by Dr. Snakes MD reviews
