ContraryToEverythinghide bio
 Author has written 9 stories for Harry Potter, and Fairy Tales. NOTE TO MY READERS: I'm unlikely to finish my stories. I've been away from the fandom too long, and I think I've forgotten too much of the lore. Infinite apologies! But thank you for reading and commenting, even critiques are appreciated (it's how I'll learn, right?) All my stories are, what I'd call 'experiments.' I'm still learning to write, and stumbling a lot along the way, so it's possible that the style of my stories can change part-way through. I'm working on original fiction these days, mostly fantasy romance. Wish me luck! 3 |
