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!

It is Harry's fifth year and things do not go quite as planned. An unlikely friendship forms between two very different people; that friendship, however, might just determine the outcome of this war...

    This looks like an interesting start. I like it. There was a point where you could have gone another way and made this a one-shot but I am excited at that TBC, wanting to know where you will take this. The mentions of "love' seemed a little ooc without as much emotions aspects written in but the Squee part of me is happy that they think that. So sweet. *_* Your descriptions and battle scenes are well done. :)

Scenes from Harry's first year (Philosopher's Stone) from Snape's PoV - a look at Quidditch and a conversation in the Forest...

    Haha! I love this situation and Snape's snark. He's so in character!

    I love being able to read and hear Snape's thoughts during this scene. Very inventive and imaginative chapter. Great job!

Title: Chapter 3: The Forest Conversation 22 Aug 2007
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Woo! Great ending. i love how Snape was trying to intimidate Quirrel and figure things out. I know who's under the turban, and it just makes me shiver to realize that Snape doesn't.

A bit depressing, end of the war. How deep does that connection between Harry and Voldemort really run?

    Oh wow. Beautiful. I don't know if I can even review this properly.

Harry overhears a conversation he wasn't supposed to, but is that really a bad thing?

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Awwww. Nice story, it was a refreshing different way to write a father/son relationship. Nicely done. The Minerva and Albus relationship threw me a bit when I came across it.

Two residents of Hogwarts consider each other and the predicaments they find themselves in at the beginning of 6th year.

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow. Awesome story. I noticed that it was "part one" does that mean that we can expect more soon? Your inner Snape dialouge was marvelous. I loved the likeness of life as playing cards- and what is more, Exploding Snap playing cards, having that be the magical game as the norm. Very well done.

Harry Potter has many discoveries to make in his sixth year - some good, some bad. As his view of the world changes, he finds himself making unlikely allies in unexpected places.

Title: Chapter 5: The Members of Magic (Part One) 31 Jan 2005
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Sweet chapter. :) I've been giving frogs as I read each chapter so sorry about the lower score. By the time I get to the later chapters it will probably be up to full frogs. :) The bit about Peevs was really neat to tie in. So tragic. The dead body in the coffin in the attic was such a realistic touch. You manage to write in things like that that just make the story so much better. :) Great job!

Title: Chapter 3: Birthday Boy 31 Jan 2005
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Hahaha Snape mixed up Harry and Malfoy's birthdays. Ouch! But really nice touch. I loved the OWLs report card and the flock of owls coming into Harry's room. I really love your characterization of Harry, he seems more like what the core character of Harry is in the first couple of book. Well done. :) Thank you for a wonderful chapter!

Title: Chapter 4: The House of Fun 31 Jan 2005
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Ah, the house of fun! How oculd I forget that. This is such a sweet chapter; too bad I know about the battle with it. :( I can just hear Harry's feelings later, that he wished that they had never had come to the battle. Well anyways, fun chpater. :) I love the twins.
