![]() Author has written 38 stories for Harry Potter, and Supernatural. Hi Readers, It's been a bit since I updated my profile. For a while, I was not actively writing fanfics because of school and some personal stuff. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. You should know that my story updates will never be on a set schedule. I have been writing for a long time, though and I know there may be some new writers out there looking for tips and tricks. The biggest advice I can give to other writers is twofold. Don't stop writing. Even while I was away from Fanfiction, I was still writing. Yes, a lot of it was for school, but I was honing my skills and working on my craft. Never give up. Always edit your work. People hate mistakes that can be easily fixed. There are a few of my own stories filled with minor spelling and grammar errors I never made the effort to correct. Grammarly is a writer's best friend. Even the free version catches common spelling and grammar mistakes and helps you edit your own work. This is my all-time favorite Harry Potter fanfiction quote: "And in all sorts of cities in many continents, children everywhere were cracking open one of seven books again and again about a boy named Harry Potter and his adventures in a world that lived just down the street and through the back door of that quiet little coffee shop that they passed by everyday without a thought. The best kept secrets, after all, are just in front of your eyes." - Reclaim By Batsutousai My fanfiction is never written in the hopes of making any money or marketing myself. I do it because I enjoy writing about characters in universes that have already been established. I like changing things up and seeing what would happen if things were different. But, we all know the world is not the nicest of places and people try to exploit one another constantly. For this reason, each of my stories has a DISCLAIMER attached to it. If for some reason those disclaimers are missing I am posting one here as well. Disclaimer: My stories are based on characters and situations created and owned by other more famous people than I, including but not limited to various publishers, movie companies, and television networks! No money is being made from the stories on this profile and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended. Nor is any insult or defamation of character intended toward any of the wonderful peoples who brought the original works to life. If you are looking to follow more of my work, I am on DeviantArt and AO3 under the same username. Stay True, Jess P.S. Even though I try to mark each individual story as I write, I'm not perfect. So, below are some lists about my fanfiction I thought might be useful to my readers. Series Order List:
