This is mostly old fanfics, written somewhere between the ages of 15 and 22. I might get a wild hare of an idea every now and then and update, but I don't spend as much time kicking around here as I used to. I've written in all sorts of different fandoms over the years; some fics are good, some not so good, but all of them are mine...even the really, REALLY old ones. I don't even agree with my own point of view anymore in some cases, but it's unlikely I'll ever take the fics down. They're mine, regardless of whether or not they fit anymore, and regardless of how poor my writing may have been in some cases.

Also, the biggest chunk of my Harry Potter fics were written before Order of the Phoenix even came out, so if there are inconsistencies with canon...that's probably why. I'm always hopeful that people actually look at the dates fics were written before they email me angry reviews that "such and such can't happen, because the sixth book says blah blah blah".

Just a few favorite quotes...

"It is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty." ~Don Marquis, The Lesson of the Moth

"It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust."
- Samuel Johnson

"Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows of the world, lighthouses erect in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print." - Barbara Tuchman

Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends - Mary Catherwood

"Teachers do really great stuff, don't they?" - one of my four year old students.
