About me:

I've been writing fanfiction for a good seven years now - though I've only delved into drabbles as far as HP is concerned.

I am available for Beta reading - Long and Short fics. I'm very proficient in English and have credible sources for previous Beta work. (I am a critical beta though, so please know that before contacting)

I'm in the process of plotting out a rather long Severus and Harry centric fic.

 

 

*trying to get more into the habit of reviewing after I read...since I read oh so frequently and tend to be more likely to archive fics than post reviews/ratings*

A Life Unsettled by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 174]
Cauldron’s bubbled. Potions simmered. And Snape was yelling at Neville again. Just another ordinary day in Potions class, or so they all thought. When a potion reveals something out of the ordinary, Harry’s life is changed forever, and not in a positive way. Was it so unreasonable to ask that he be allowed to make it through sixth year like a normal teenager?

    I really love how this came together - tough I seriously doubt that any happy feelings/luck that the three boys are having will last. Though, they have a much better chance at standing strong and surviving together.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how Harry interacts with Gryffindor. And if Ron grew up at all.

Past Featured Story Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 1254]
Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

    I absolutely love this. The premise of Harry finding Snuffles before he knows about his Godfather is absolutely perfect - and the fact that he's using the dog as a conduit to get out some of the internal confusion and to just rant to works so perfectly I'm surprised I haven't seen it before.

    I really love this fic so far and cannot wait for more!!

My Secret Father by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 270]
For four years Harry Severus Potter has gone to school in the shadow of his secret father… the one everybody whispers behind his back about. For four years, said father has ignored him, and encouraged his second son Kenai to taunt, pick on, and bully Harry. They all look alike, but none are so much the same… or are they more alike than they think? Harry is finding unlikely allies and friends in all the wrong places.

    Ahh! I really love how this is progressing - honestly, this is one of the more unique Snape as Harry's father stories I've read in ages and I cannot wait to see how it ends up!

    I do hope that Snape has a better explanation for leaving Harry with his relatives - though you are very right in saying that his is a fallible human being and that he doesn't always make the right decisions.

    /fingers crossed for more chapters soon/

    I'd never thought of any concepts related to someone who might be deaf doing spells. I'm quite intrigued by what you've come up with.

    Really looking forward to how this story progresses - you have set a very interesting premise that really has potential. I'm a huge fan of your past stories and really can't wait to watch this one unfold!!

    /eagerly awaiting more chapters/

    Author's Response:

    Did you read the article I posted in my notes at the end of the chapter?  That's some interesting stuff.  Plus, another interesting thing I've discovered is that there are plenty of resources online for learning about ASL, but NOT for learning about BSL.  And although America and the UK both speak English, their sign language styles are not nearly the same - especially in fingerspelling.

    For example, BSL's fingerspelling employs both hands, but ASL only uses one.
