First update in a few blue moons. Deleting whole tons of stuff from my profile, mostly because it irritates me to scroll through big profiles ans frankly because I doubt many people read all that anyway.

Me: One typical under employed millennial, that prefers to live in the fantasy verse in my head, which sometimes spills out on to paper, because the real world sucks and frankly I'd rather not be there. I'm a massive history and Tolkien geek, a former Harry Potter geek that retains insane amount of info about that fandom and oddly enough still prefers reading HP fanfiction despite being far more interested in Tolkien in general. This is probably because one of my main areas of historical expertise is the early medieval period (Saxons, Vikings, Normans and increasingly Byzantium).

All stories currently posted are done and dusted, and I doubt I'm ever going to add anything more to those universes. I have quite a number of in progress fanfictions that may or may not turn up at some point as and when the muse hits me. Most likely to turn up right now is the near complete short explanation of the British educations system for Harry Potter authors, co-written by my friend Skippy and I. Skippy is particularly involves as she went to a school that is about as close to the real life version of Hogwarts (Extremely upper class, in a grade 1 listed building, one of her friends family had title up to the tertiary level so Grandpa was a duke, dad and earl and younger brother also an Earl I believe.) and we were both getting annoyed by people clearly putting their own countries systems on to the British so decided to do something about it by trying to write a guide that makes the system JK is using clear to people who aren't British and thus are less likely to understand. (Edit: this is now posted)

The other thing I'm most likely to be working on for this site is a Harry Potter founders era fanfiction written by Skippy and I designed to be as historically accurate as we can make it, including giving the founders back stories that make sense in light of the period, cultures etc. This is involving huge amounts of historical research (including me buying academic texts on magic in the C10th AD for all appropriate cultures, us tracking down sources on fashion, language and just about everything) so will be slow going. It will also have references. Many many references. Because if we're going to all the effort to write a story that is as accurate as we can manage then we're damn well putting all our sources in. If you are wondering this was prompted by us re-enacting at the Jorvik Viking festival, going into The Shop That Must Not Be Named (brilliant place, on the Shambles in York, which was what we#as used for Diagon Alley in the films, do go there) realising the two of us were dressed appropriately for Rowena Ravenclaw (me in correct colours and a style appropriate to the Picts of that era, because Rowena is a celtic name) and Skippy in Viking Hufflepuff coloured gear (Helga being a Viking name) and then talking to the staff and realising just how much we actually knew about the history and background already and deciding that we really needed to write it all down properly.

Otherwise the remains of my muse is being used for writing original fiction. On that note if anyone knows how to go about getting Fantasy Novels published please get in contact. I have three complete novels (first two parts of a trilogy, with the third in progress, and a stand alone) which I need to work out how to get published.

Final note, only some of my fics have been beta'd so some may be riddled with mistakes. Any planned updates or rewriting of already published stories are no longer going to happen as i have too little time and muse to do so. In the case of the Dawnstar series there is also the fact that was written by an adolescent me and a friend I haven't talked to in years. I've grown up a lot since then and frankly the story is now far too young for me to want to rework. In the event I ever bothered trying to rework it it would come out a lot darker and more cynical, and probably a lot less sickly and romantic. The only reason I haven't taken it down is because other people enjoy it. It also really annoys me when people take down stories I love, even incomplete ones, so I'm not going to do that to other people. Keeping them up also shows a personal progression in skills as an author which I feel is helpful for others to be able to see.
