hi there ...

some of you already do know me, either from my way of writing on ff or from my way of answering to your reviews ... for those however who do not know me yet and might wonder what kind of person stands behind those stories ...

I am not a pleasant person to begin with and I can be right out nasty and even a bastard sometimes ... ask my children, they all can tell you, they actually curse me quite often ... I am evil, dark, sarcastic and I do not care what others might think of me ... just consider how I let people suffer in my stories, not to mention children then you know how evil I can be ...

I always say, darker than my shirt is only my soul, and believe me, I only wear black shirts, I think I do not even own other clothing than black ones ... and even coffee has to be as my soul is ... black, hot and strong ...

what leads us to the conclution that I really might be cruel and heartless ... yet let me assure you, I am really good in this ...

Questions in reviews and feedbacks:

as I do not wish to answer the reviews at the beginning or at the end of the new chapters as some other authors do, I will answer them at the end of each week, just before I place a new chapter here, in the reviews, what means you can have a look there for answers, if you so wish ...

I guess, that will be the easiest way. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your feedback ... I am really, really happy that there is interest and that you are pleased with my work. I will of course do my best furthermore ... thanks to all my readers ...

Concerning some mistakes in the stories:

I do know that there are some grammar and spelling mistakes in my stories, but nevertheless they are mine, and mine alone - thus, no, I won't take a beta ... I am responsible for those mistakes and I will have to answer to them or to correct them afterwards ... but those stories are mine, including the good stuff, including the bad stuff and including all my mistakes ...

I will do my best of course to keep them at a minimum, but you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs my grandmother always said, and as I do not write chapters containing only 500 words but chapters containing 5.000 to 10.000 words, there of course are some mistakes creeping into the stories ... if you feel that those mistakes disturb your reading, then feel free to simply close the tab ...

concerning my sentences being awkward, have you ever read Shakespear? Some might think that this man never got a single sentence written in a straight way ... but honestly, this simply has been his way of writing ... as has every author ... I do know that my way of writing is - let me say - strange, but first, my way of writing in german is just as strange as it is in english as I love such strange ways - to write in a normal way, everyone can do this, after all - and second, it just is my way of writing and you simply will have to bear with it ... or you simply close the tab if you are not ready to deal with this ...

I have worked long and hard on this picture, more so if you consider that I am not a Master when it comes to working with photos in the first place, and so I really would appreciate it if you asked before simply copying it ... I do not mind you copying the picture for your private collection, but I would not like it being used by you openly as yours ... a word of acknowledgement as to who created it, if you copy it for a not privat use - would be very nice of you ... thank you ...

Twenty-one days

in progress - abuse - imprisonment - angst/hurt/comfort - severitus - fourth year - Gryffindor - rating M - AU

This story is - even if it is only a side story - one of my favourites. I am nearly done with this one - and I have already a sequel planning which will be called ... A few days more ... this story is about the fourth year's Slytherins and Gryffindors being locked up in the potions classroom for twenty-one days due to an accident and how or if they will survive with the help of the Potions Master, Severus Snape. The sequel however will be about the aftermath and what has become of those who - maybe - had survived ...
