About me:

I read and write Harry Potter fanfic.

My current fic is being posted at http://imuptonogood.livejournal.com, and is a Post DH story following Harry, Draco, the Weasleys, and a few others, after DH (ignoring the epilogue).  It is canon compliant, but I managed to rescue Snape.

 I am an omnivorous reader when it comes to Harry Potter genres, but I prefer those where Harry and Snape can reconcile... eventually.

Past Featured Story Harry Potter and the Ferratilis Potion by Arualcopia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 287]
At the Dursleys the summer after Sirius' death, Voldemort sends werewolves to attack Harry. Taken to Grimmauld Place by his rescuer, Severus Snape, Harry devises a disastrous plan to rescue Sirius from the veil, resulting in his being transfigured into a baby. Snape is the only one who can brew the potion to restore him, and is the only one to realize that Harry still retains his 16 year-old-mind. Over the summer and the first two potions which restore him to age eleven, Harry begins to feel that Snape is the only one who understands and can protect him. Is he right or has his deaging muddled his thinking? AU story for 6th year.

    This is fascinating! The characters are all very true to life and in character. I hope that this family will eventually come to terms with each other.

    Dream worlds freak me just about as much as they are freaking Harry... you never know quite what is real.

    Severus has a lot on his plate... Can't wait to read more.

Response to Fic Fest Challenge 10# - Moody isn't out that night Harry sneaks under the invisibility cloak, gets his foot stuck in the trick step and drops his Golden Egg ... but Snape still is. (One-Shot)

    Lovely. With the Map in Severus' hands, perhaps someone can find Barty BEFORE the third task?

AU. Harry, on the night the first letter came, was dumped by the Dursley's in London. Now, three months later, he is found and expected to lead a normal life at Hogwarts. But, where Harry Potter is concerned, can anything be normal? Mild abuse, neglect.

    What a place to stop writing!

    I would love more of this story, but it looks like you have not written in it for over 2 years... are there any plans to write more?

    It is really quite good, and worth continuing. Severus' insecurity shows in so many little ways, but I cheered when he did what was right for Harry. Does he really think Harry will abandon him? Of course he does.

    It would be quite interesting seeing Snape and Sirius try to win Harry, and also try not to harm Harry by their rivalry. Even though you seem to be following canon fairly closely, I would be fascinated to see Sirius free and in this Harry's life: a harry that prefers Snape.

    Wherever you take it will be fascinating, so long as you (please please please) take it somewhere. Just one more chapter.... and another....

    (Your story is good enough I am even finding myself forgiving the grammar and spelling errors, but... maybe by now you have a spellchecker?)

    Thank you for writing.

Snape's Vocation by Gillian starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 86]
Sequel to 'Mine'. Snape and Harry settle down and learn more about each other. These chapters can be read as individual stories, but I have further chapters written and planned.

Reviewer: ImUpToNoGood (Signed)
    I am really enjoying this. Severus is very much in character, and yet Harry is slowly pulling out the best person Severus can be. And little Harry, so afraid of abandonment, yet strong and full of love too, is endearing.

    You write well, the scenes are well crafted, and your skill with language is quite good. One correction: effect is a noun, meaning the result of an action, and you have used it frequently in place of affect, the verb which means to cause an effect.

    Overall, this is one of the best young Harry stories I have read.

Reviewer: ImUpToNoGood (Signed)
    Loving how Snape is going all Slytherin in how he protects Harry. Allies. Snape is going to surround Harry with so much love, even though Snape would rather keep him all to himself. Because he can't help but do what is best for Harry.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter One 27 Mar 2008
Reviewer: ImUpToNoGood (Signed)
    I love how this chapter ends. I love that making sure Harry has food is a present. I love the way they are growing together. I love the bracelets (later). I really hope you continue this, all the way through Hogwarts and defeating V. I want to see this Harry grow up, and make friends, and change the world, all with the support of his father.

    I also had a chance to read the accompanying stories... Lovely. Was glad to see the bit with Sirius.

    Please write more!

Reviewer: ImUpToNoGood (Signed)
    I really like this fic.

    The complexity of the characters, the tensions between what they want and what they believe, are all compelling.

    One translation note: I believe you meant that Lily entrusted Harry to Snape, not that she confided him. (Confide is to tell a secret, knowing that the other will not tell it further.)

    On to the next chapter!

    Author's Response: thanks you ! very good point about the translation, I will correct, thanks :-)

    Oh my. I have tears. Wet eyes. And it's all your fault.

    Really good story.

    Author's Response: ow, I feel terribly guilty. I think. ;-)

    Evil cliffie! Just plain cruel.

    Lovely chapter. I am waiting eagerly to hear what Draco's letter said, and what it is that Remus is hiding.

    Thanks for the chapter!

    Author's Response: oh yes I love cliffies! well, except when I'm on the reader's side ;-)
