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!

Antithesis by mandancie starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 131]
This story is from the Summer Fic Fest. A prompt by Scorpia that I saw on Potions and Snitches website. Harry is kidnapped and Draco is the only one who saw it happen and who knows who did it.

    Love it! Great start! Draco and Harry are sure to be at each other's throats if they both make it to Snape's house. Thanks for posting! Everyone seems very in character. I can't wait to see what happens next!

    On boy, oh wow! Draco had better watch out! Poor Harry. I hope he can hold on until someone rescues him! Hurry, Professor! Maybe they can use Draco's memories to gather more clues. Great emotions in this chapter. I am on the edge of my seat!

    Yay!!! Hoorray! I am so glad that they found Harry! Great descriptions. Thank you so much that they found him sort-of quick. After two week a lot of damage can be done, but not as much as years. Thanks for all the updates! Great story, great drama.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much!! :) It means the world to me that you are liking my story. :) I hope that the ending can live up to its expectations. Thank you again for your many reviews. :)

    Oh boy. So Draco has been tricked into telling. Was that Veritaserum? I wonder if knowing how bad Harry has it, and how much it's hurt and changed him will make Draco regret his decision. And how will Snape reconcile taking care of Draco after hurting Harry? I can't wait to see their interaction. I do hope that Draco stays in the story as an integral part! Thanks for the update!

    Awww, poor Harry. It means a lot that Harry is calling out for Professor Snape. I wonder how much Harry will have to endure before he is rescued. Draco is such a little spoilt menace. I hope he gets over it.

Catharsis by Alexannah starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 65]
Bitten by Lupin as a teen as a result of Sirius’ prank, Severus Snape strongly opposes the idea of taking in James’ son. That is, until he sees the way the Dursley family treat the werewolf cub. It will be a long road, but can Harry and Severus heal each other?

    Awwww, great start! Inventive premise! I love the back story so far. The bases of Harry's care seem to be met. Fantastic beginning.

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow, what acliff hanger! I loved the beach ball, Dudley probably liked being transformed and bounced, I would guess. Guess job with all the characterizations. I wonder what is in the cellar. Has Harry lived there all the time? Did he transform without the wolfsbane? And what's that voice in Snape's head? Great start! Thanks for sharing this story!
