About me:

A few things about myself:    

   1) I am Canadian (cough ... and proud of it)

    2) I absolutely love the readers on this site, and hearing their thoughts/questions either by reviews or messaging makes me simply dance. 

   3) I have a pet newt. He is so old it's not even funny. Yeah, 14 yrs. Pet store said 3. Good thing I like him. 

   4) Lastly: I got into writing fanfiction here for two reasons.

           A) The first is that I love to write. And not only that, I wanted to learn to write.

           B) Potions and Snitches is a great place for learning.

     Thus - I've made a lot of mistakes writing, but because of how  awesome the reviewers are, I've learned from those mistakes and gotten better. The kindness of the readers has kept me coming back time and time again, and really helped me improve my writing. At this point I'm now working on an original novel, meaning fanfiction has taken a back seat. That was always the goal, and I hope one day to take my writing somewhere besides just the internet and my friends' bookshelves. 

     Well, that's all folks!

    - Whitetail

 

 P.S. I am on fanfiction.net, but my pen name is LittleWhitetail, rather than Whitetail. 

  Current Project: Jan 1st 2016 update - Writing is going quite well. Still taking a break from fanfiction. Not promising any new P&S stories, but it isn't impossible. My original novel is slow but progressing, and is into some of the final drafts. Had some success in the past year - got a short story published! If you'd like to read the story, check out Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Possible. The story is called "The Pivotal Moment". Also, on a fanfiction note, I still read reviews (but am slow to answer). Also, feel free to message me - questions, concerns, anything. I do love hearing from people here. Cheers!

Challenge by WhiteTail about a Natural Disaster at Hogwarts. When he looked out the window all he could see was thick smoke, and the smell of burning sulfer in the air. He swallowed the fear thickly, unable to believe that something like lava had penetrated Hogwarts

    Yay, a volcano! Er, I mean ... poor Hogwarts - a volcano! I can't help but dance that someone else answered this challenge! I had no idea it would end up being this popular! That must have been terrifying for Harry and his classmates to be outside when the cap on the volcano blew up. Yikes. Although, I have to wonder, would it really be warm enough to not have a cloak in January? Maybe it's just because I live somewhere that is pretty much in the midst of winter until the end of April ... so goodness knows my weather sense is a little skewed. Anyway, good action! On to the next chapter ...

    The scene in the classroom was good. I liked the image with the lava outside the window. The small pieces of Amanda Flint's back story - while few - were enough to imagine what she might be like. I wonder what they're going to do ... Looking forward to more!

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Hogwarts will protect us right? 25 Apr 2013
Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Oh gosh, I had to wrack my brains to remember what had happened with Harry and Amanda earlier! That's what I get for reading stories during finals ... A bit confusing with the time changes sometimes, but whether that's the story or me I'll never know. I really liked Marcus' concern for his sister, and I like Amanda. She's sweet. Looking forward to more!

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Who will Save the Children? 28 Apr 2013
Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    ARG! Pretty much a literal cliff hanger! Well ... that escalated quickly. ;) Here I'm thinking - oh, they might have a chance. Oh, it's just gas so far. And then BAM! Lava! Yikes, I would not want to be them right now! And Snape - I sure as heck hope he wasn't too late to save Amanda. Although, Severus Draconis Potter, I would not put it past to kill her off, my evil compadre. ;) Oh, and I liked Ron's pet name.

    Author's Response:

    I didnt want to drag it out, because I knew what was going to happen to her. And prolonging it had me a bit sad and sniffling over my keyboard. I changed her fate twice if it helps, so I'm kind of sorry leaving a cliff hanger. But on the bright side...At least we're into the Harry and Snape action right? Thats gotta cancel out right? lol, 

     Aww thanks,  :) I'm glad you like it though!

    Wow, I never would have guessed that Sirius would come to the rescue. Unexpected is right!

    Author's Response: but i kept subtly hinting that it was third year. lol we all know what happened that year 

The final thoughts of Severus Snape. (Spoiler for The Deathly Hallows)

    That was very touching. I liked the last few lines especially. Well done.

The blood quill gives Harry an infection. As he slowly deteriorates, he refuses to go to the Infirmary until a certain Potions Master finds him in a corridor.

Title: Chapter 1: Etched In Skin 16 Sep 2013
Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Ooh grisly! The descriptions of the infected wound were good. It conjured quite a horrific image. Snape was good too, and quite in character. I also really liked the way you ended it. Obviously some people will be annoyed that it didn't go further (people almost always are) but I preferred it this way. It had a kind of eerie finality to it, and left it up to the imagination just what Snape did.

Snape has kept Lily’s many secrets for years. Having been forced to reveal one for Harry’s safety, the rest look soon to follow. And either Black has found a way to fly, turn invisible and tame dragons, or there is someone else after Harry’s blood too.

    Ooh no wonder Snape's in a bad mood! What an interesting twist - Petunia not being related by blood! I can't say I've seen it done before. An intriguing story, no doubt. Your writing style has caught my eye, and I enjoyed the conversation between Dumbledore and Severus. It seemed to create an illusion of depth in regards to their relationship. Hmm ... onward.

Title: Chapter 2: On Snape's Terms 16 Nov 2013
Reviewer: Whitetail (Signed)
    Well I did not see that coming! I can't even say Snape is out of character, because as far as he said, almost everything we know about him is a lie! How interesting! I really look forward to where this goes. I liked the comment about McGonagall and having favourites, and I really am enjoying your dialogue. Cheers!
