Author has written 9 stories for Harry Potter, and Fairy Tail. After years of reading FanFiction, I finally decided to try writing my own. So I created an account. I'm a bigger Harry Potter nerd now than I was when I first read the books, which is a little ironic. Actually, my nerd personality only started coming out after I went to college. What is it about being on your own that makes you go crazy? I don't know. But I love Harry Potter, and I love reading and writing, and what better way to combine them than by playing with my favorite characters and inventing my own stories for them? I'm also an anime freak, though I wouldn't dare attempt to write FanFiction on my favorites—they're fine as they are. So are most of the other books I've read. Harry Potter is an exception because there are so many possibilities that just didn't have room to be explored in the original books. I don't pretend to be able to improve on J.K. Rowling's books (I'm not that great of a writer), but I think it's okay to play in my own Harry Potter sandbox and see what I can build. I do hope that one day I can at least be equal to her writing, though. A little more about me: I graduated college with a major in creative writing, and I'm an aspiring writer looking to entertain you readers out there as well as myself. (All my fellow writers will probably agree with me when I say that writing your own books is a lot more fun than reading someone else's.) I've dabbled in poetry and short fiction, though novels are my favorite things to write. Not that I've written any successful ones yet, but I've got a few in the works. If you want to read some of my original works and rambles about writing, check out my blog, A Writer's Cache. Here's a link (remove the brackets): awriterscache(.)blogspot(.)com (7/9/2020) I recently self-published an original fiction novel on Amazon called "Home." Here's the link if you want to check it out: https:///dp/B086PRL1D2. If it doesn't work, try this one and just remove the brackets: www(.)amazon(.)com/dp/B086PRL1D2 As of right now, I've got four stories posted, all for Harry Potter. The first is Taking Control. Then comes A Mishap and an Opportunity. Rose-Colored Lenses and Christmas with the Potters are companions to the latter, and don't have to be read in order. Rose-Colored Lenses is a collection of one-shots of scenes from A Mishap in no particular order, though I am avoiding spoilers, so what you find there will only correspond to chapters already posted. While it isn't absolutely necessary to read Taking Control before the others, there are some nuances that a reader will miss in A Mishap and an Opportunity and its companions if you haven't read Taking Control first, and those nuances make the story a little more believable and enjoyable, especially since I have a few inside jokes going between Harry and Tonks that refer back to Taking Control. (added 10/11/18) Junior Level Champion is a random idea I got from someone else's fanfiction. It has nothing to do with my other stories. Basically, it started with the question, what if Harry really was a figure skater? I recently rewatched Yuri on Ice and I have Disney's Ice Princess memorized, so I figured I could at least pretend to know what I'm talking about when it comes to the technical terms of figure skating. It's a short fic that has the potential to be fleshed out if I get enough positive feedback from it. (added 7/9/2020) As some of you have noticed, I've recently branched out into the anime/crossover section. I just finished rewatching Fairy Tail, so I started reading the fanfiction, and naturally because Harry Potter is my favorite, I branched into the crossovers, too. And I saw how few stories there were of Harry joining Fairy Tail, and the ones I saw were either Harry transported as a kid or Harry OP'd as Master of Death. And I thought, but what about all the potential of Harry joining mid-Hogwarts? And so Fortune's Wheel was born. It takes place right at the end of Order of the Phoenix, right after the battle at the Ministry. I've only posted a few chapters so far, but I've got it written up to the beginning of the Oracion Seis arc. So there shouldn't be too many delays in posting. Especially since I have nothing but free time right now, as a teacher on summer vacation. I also posted a companion fic, Fortune's Wheel: One-Shots and Drabbles (working title), that will have some missing moments that either didn't fit into the main story or ended up being cut. This is copied from another author's profile, but I loved it so much I had to include it here. Ways to know if you are a writer… You talk to yourself a lot - Check. When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else - Also check. You live off of sugar and caffeine. - I try to be healthy... Of course, the bag of gummies on my desk doesn't help matters... Your texts tend to be extremely long and completely random. - More like, I insist on using proper spelling and grammar. Especially when I ramble. When replying to a text, you never actually get to the point of it. - Actually, it's my stories that I can't get to the point of... No matter where you are in your room you'll never have to get up to get a pen/pencil and paper. - And I carry a notebook with me everywhere. The letters on your keyboard are wearing off. - Well, my old computer did. Give it a year or so, and my new one will, too. You constantly start talking in third person, past, present, or future, or Shakespearean where you start adding it to the end of every word. - Not quite yet. But I do make literature references that only I understand, and then they stare at me when I laugh. I also talk to myself with a British accent a lot... You make lists of things you are going to write about, then start laughing for no apparent reason - You mean that's not normal?? Your friends stopped looking at you funny when you laugh for no apparent reason a long time ago. - Well...maybe. Or they exchange looks when I'm not looking. Your mood depends on what’s going on in your story. - Check. And vice-versa, of course. The most social interaction you get in a day is the conversations you write between your characters. - Check. Their life is just so much more interesting than mine! You forget that not everyone spends their free time writing. - Wait, really? Since when? You’re in a tough situation and you think, “What would my character do?” - And a new story is born. |
