About me:

Hi, I'm Jan. :D I love Snape and Harry fics, and just mentor fics in general. I first started Potions and Snitches (P&S) as a safe place to find Snape & Harry gen fics without stumbling into Snape and Harry slash (aka Snarry, or HP/SS).

Fandoms that I like to read fanfiction of include: Star Trek, Star Wars, Kung Fu : The Legend Continues, Dragonball Z, Stargate SG1, Batman, Angel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I like Gen and Mentor fics mostly. I love hurt/comfort, angst, whump, drama, raw emotions, and vivid descriptions best.

I know how to make and edit graphics, icons, and layouts (html and css). I am a master web searcher. XD

My dreams? One day I'd like to be able to run up a mountain effortlessly, or at least easily. :) I'd like to see Potions and Snitches host every single good Snape and Harry Gen fic there ever existed. I'd like to have people who post here get 100 reviews a chapter. I'd like active-to-the-bursting challenges and contests. I want the site to be a great, fun place that readers of Snape and Harry fics loved and knew as active.

Check out my site, Potions, Snitches and Unlikely Relations! It's a giant rec list of Harry Potter fics, the majority Snape and Harry Gen. Currently, there are 800+ fics listed.

Thanks for visiting my profile! Enjoy the site!

Chocolate frogs!

Summer School by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 1]
Summary: Hogwarts offers summer school to select students who fall behind. Is it at Hogwarts? Who teaches what, and how do they decide which students need the extra help? Do Houses still exist?

Alternatively, maybe students who do amazingly well are allowed to attend as well... maybe as tutors, or to explore their favorite subject more in depth.

Potions Tutor Needed by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 1]
Summary: Harry needs extra tutoring in Potions, perhaps to obtain an advanced degree, or to make special potions he needs. He puts an advertisement out and Snape responds.

Options: Harry may be an adult, or you may rewrite part of a book to incorporate this request (maybe Harry and company in The Deathly Hallows need to make a potion beyond Hermione's skill).

Safe Corridor at Hogwarts by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 1]
Summary: When a resident at Hogwarts is in extreme distress with no hope or help in sight, a special corridor at Hogwarts automatically creates itself around him or her, creating a safe place for as long as is needed. It was developed by the founders or a Headmaster to keep the children safe while they are at school. No one else is allowed in besides the ones who call for it. In your story how do the characters realize this, who goes missing and why, and how do they get out? Do they even want to?

Ideas
  • Harry is missing and no one knows why
  • Harry's life is in danger at Hogwarts, he runs away from a teacher, an older student, or himself
  • Harry knows he can't go back to the Dursleys for the summer
  • After Sirius' death, Harry runs through the school, thinking of ways to join Sirius
  • During a canon or new adventure, Harry and company run away from danger (ie. the troll from 1st year)
  • Snape previously used the corridor, and is one of the few people to know of it's existence, purpose, and how to get in
