Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter.

Hello to the types of people who check out fanfiction writers' profiles!

My name on this site is blue.but.harmless. I'm here because I love reading. I read a lot - probably an excessive amount - and I'm not upset about it. Somewhere along the line, the mass of interconnected neurons that is my brain decided that the next logical step in a life of voracious reading was to try my hand (or keyboard) at writing.

I wrote a sentence. I wrote a paragraph. I wrote a page.

And I've been writing ever since. I enjoy writing the same way as I enjoy reading; it's my escape. I write a lot of random stuff: my thoughts, feelings, personal philosophy, anecdotes, letters, and - very, very occasionally - stories.

I think people mostly read these bios to feel like they've learned something about authors; to feel connected to the person behind the words. So here are some things about me:

1) If I could, I would sleep 12 hours a day.

2) My favorite color is not blue.

3) I am the worst baseball player in the history of ever.

4) I binge-read and stress-bake like no one's business. If I have started to mass produce baked goods, something is very wrong.

5) I would rather have a tonsillectomy than eat a tomato.

6) I really, really hated reading The Awakening. It was in high school, and I'm still upset about it.

7) I know what the word "bilateral" means, it's language of origin, and how to use it in a sentence.

Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom of the page. You're the best!

The Code by Aduro reviews
AU,6th yr. Draco has a secret, he's a genius. Bill Weasley is teaching Ancient Runes. 6th year brings debate class, mystery, horcruxes, etc. The story is complete, but I am currently editing and commenting on the chapters. NEW FORMAT as of 1/14 - All newly revised chapters will be at the END of the story, for ease of reading. It makes way more sense this way...

An Unusual Beginning reviews
All of the very best things have unusual beginnings. Join the next generation of Potters, Weasleys, and, yes, even Malfoys, as they experience their own. Canon-compliant, multi chapter fic with characters, a plot, and awesomeness. R&R, pretty please!

Right, Wrong, and the Element of Risk reviews
[ONESHOT] It would be dishonest to say that Teddy and Victoire were best friends before they were . . . Well. Before they were what they were when they were caught snogging on Platform 9 by James Potter at his most insufferable. There are so many "they were best friends first until the one fateful day when everything changed" stories. This is not one of them.

The Everyday Unlearned reviews
For Lily, James Potter was History. He was six years of eye-rolling, finger-shaking, I-hate-you-to-the-very-core-of-my-being fights. He had made her cry more times than she could count. He never lost a chance to tell her that she was beautiful. Oneshot
