About me:

I stumbled into Harry Potter fanfic looking for something to read after years of loving the books. Even after HBP, the idea of Snape mentoring or somehow becoming Harry's father/father figure is intriguing to me. I think that his is a very interesting character with unexplored depth in canon.

As for me, well, I'm working on getting into graduate school for creative writing, as that is one of my bachelors degrees and what I enjoy the most. I do write fanfiction, and am currently writing my first try at Harry Potter, even though I'm hopelessly American and I wouldn't want British characters to sound that way. (Knowing my luck and where I'm from, I'd have Harry speaking Southern without too much effort!)

My hobby is restoring My Child dolls from the 1980s and making clothes for them. It's kind of fun to exercise artistic skills that I don't often use anymore. Otherwise, I just write. And it's whatever strikes my fancy at the moment, fanfiction in various fandoms or original fiction.

A Fair Advantage by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 121]
Eleven year old Harry Potter is not the boy everyone expects him to be. Unpopular, picked on, and unable to perform magic correctly most of the time because of a stutter, Harry is the boy nobody wants to be around. What happens when Severus Snape, the Potions Master currently spear heading the anti-Potter party, gets a glimpse of the boy’s true personality and inner workings?

    Not smart, Severus. Not smart at all!

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?

    just a queick question--what about Voldemort? Is he gone in this one?

    Drumstrang sounds like fun simply because it *is* new. And I can see Ron being worse because he was found out.

    Sequel! Sequel! What happened to Dumbledore in this universe?

    Author's Response:

    He died. That's mentioned briefly in the beginning of the story.  He blew himself up trying to dismantle the ring Horcrux.

    I am thinking about doing one, so glad you suggested it!


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.
