Hello,

First thing you need to know is yes, my stories haven't been updated in a long time - sorry to leave you hanging! It sucks, I know. I hope to complete these one day. Seriously. Between two small children, spending time with my husband, a busy and very demanding career, plus all life throws leaves me very little time to write.

About me: my stories are an opportunity for a creative outlet. One day I'd like to try writing something original, but at the moment, writing fanfic is enough for me.

I basically write the stories that I would like to read myself. I truly love the Harry Potter universe, and I spend a lot of time fangirling over it in a rather embarrassing way (my husband, extended family, friends, work colleagues, casual acquaintances, and even random strangers can all probably attest to this).

As you can see, I ship Hermione/Voldemort (Tomione). I know a lot of people raise their eyebrows at this ship, but I love the challenge of it. Both are incredibly intelligent, cunning and powerful characters. Despite their similarities, they often have many obstacles to overcome to be together. This is where the fun is, of course ;) You often find, that once people discover the Tomione ship, either through morbid curiosity or via another ship, they never go back!

However, while HP is my no1 fandom, I'll read anything that's well written. I have a real appreciation for talented fanfic writers :)

Sirius Black is my favourite HP character (I'll defend and argue for Sirius till the end of time). But I think that Voldemort is the most interesting.

Translation update 2019:

My short story 'Out with the Old' has been translated to Chinese by the wonderful Quahb123. I am so flattered. So 你好! (Ni Hao) to anyone from China reading this. The story can be read on the Lofter app under the pair of Tom Riddle and Hermione Granger. Sorry I tried posting the link a million times but FFnet won't let me :-/ please search on Lofter for: Out with the Old!

Tertius Vita:

The idea randomly popped into my head one day and I just had to go ahead and write it down. I have worked out how this story will end (well, the major details, anyway)... and intend to eventually write a sequel to it as well.

The very cool Dream a Dream 123 has made an amazing banner for Tertius Vita, which can be viewed here: Banner

Right Place, Wrong Time?:

This idea initially started off as just a one-shot in my mind and then as my imagination got away with me (as per usual), it became so much more ;) At the moment I have no idea how I will end this story, I am just enjoying writing it chapter by chapter at the moment.

Dream a Dream 123 has also made an amazing banner for RP, WT? which can be viewed at the following link: Banner

CHAPTER 14: Here is the link for the deleted (aka explicit scene) for this chapter: http:///story.php?no=600097162&chapter=14 If that doesn't work, my name is Shan84 there as well.

Out with the Old:

There is a scene not included on FFnet, which can be found at AdultFanFiction(dot)net. My user name is 'Shan84' there as well. The link to the story is here: http:///story.php?no=600096209 If that doesn't work, it's under the Hermione/Voldemort section.

Ministerial Response:

There is a scene not included on FFNet, which can be found on AO3 at the following link: http:///works/606151

If that link doesn't work, my user name is 'Shan84' there as well. I will also eventually add it to my AFF file.

Reviews:

I could lie about how "unimportant" reviews are, and be cool - but let's be honest here, I'm not cool. I love receiving reviews! Getting great reviews make everything worthwhile. I don't get paid to write these stories, so sometimes, when motivation is at zero, going and reading my reviews makes me pick myself back up and continue writing ;)
