- Hi, I'm Carrie. I love to write and I love to read. I love to write about what I read. I do this for fun first, and for practice second. Once it stops being fun, I will stop posting stories here. That day has not yet arrived.

- I don't give out any personal information about myself over the interwebz.

- I love chatting with readers and hearing what you think, even after a story is completed, so please please please don't be shy!

- Please read my author's notes. Nothing irks me more than being "called out" on something I explained at the beginning of a chapter.

- My fanfiction usually follows canon to a degree, but it does veer off every now and then, because it's... drumroll please... FANFICTION. If you want something that adheres strictly to canon, I suggest sticking to the actual novels/films/etc. So far, my stories are based on the Harry Potter series. I usually write about the Marauder Era, because it's not as confining, but even then, I still like to play with the details a bit.

My Tumblr blog - just a place where I post stuff I like/find interesting:

You can find me on AO3, also as CarriePlum.

Sirius and Annabelle series:

Part 1- Meet Me with a Smile

Part 2- Dare to Be

Part 3- Here is the World

Part 4 - ?

This series will most likely continue into the timeline of the actual novels. (We'll see!)

Update October 2018 - my work and family has made it nearly impossible to find time for this story. I wish I could just give you a window into my mind, as it's all finished there! Maybe someday... thanks for reading. :)

FYI - If you are a guest, and you ask a question, pray tell, how am I supposed to answer you?

To the guest who asked if I copied names from another story - Bertram, Caradoc, Mary, Alice, etc. etc. etc. are all canon names. I checked out the story you mentioned and can assure you I have never read it, but now I've skimmed it rather quickly, and there were no name similarities besides CANON characters, which appear in all Marauders stories to a degree. Please be careful before you make accusations of such nature.
