About me:

More of a reader than a writer, a lover of Harry far more than Snape, I prefer procrastination to practicality - unless I'm enjoying a WIP in which case I could throttle the slow-to-update author! 

I'm happy to Britpick or spelling/grammar check work - pm me :)

Dislocation's Game by Howl starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
Snape knows Harry Potter's eyes. He knows how they've changed and how come they have. Yet Snape can't escape the memory of the young Harry who he met over old Chinese food, stolen bandages, and a dislocated shoulder. Wait and Hope for the world's end.

Past Featured Story Miles to Go Before I Sleep by Malora starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 55]
A response to both P&S Winter Fic Fest and the Burnt Hedwig Challenge. However, many of the challenge details have been altered. Hedwig is injured, and must seek help for Harry. One-shot. Some Chamber of Secrets details have been changed from canon.

    Enjoyed this story, particularly Hedwigs POV.

Antonomasia by sproutchild starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 368]
What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

    Hi! I've read the whole story in a oner so I'm only reviewing now. It's great! I love how you built up Snape so that it was convincing when he started caring for Harry, and not too forced which is an easy trap for Snape fics to fall into. I love love LOVE the friendship between the Trio (although I felt Hermione was a bit too negative in the early chapters) particularly the way you show Ron as a really caring friend who Harry can rely on. It's so in tune with canon and its lovely to see in a fic because he's often shown as an idiot or greedy or jealous or... And that's so untrue! So you've got the Trio spot on and I relish it!
    Hope you finish this some day! No matter how long you leave it, Hogwarts - it's fandom, it's fic - will always be here to welcome you home.

    Fyre (Gryffindor Pride *cough am I the only one on this website cough*) :D

The White Laird of the Mountains by Morgana starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 95]
Severus Snape and Harry Potter think that they know everything about each other. However, when Headmaster Dumbledore persuades his Potions Master to give duelling lessons to the youngest Triwizard Champion, events unfurl which will change both their lives forever. 2010 Challenge Fest entry.

Reviewer: GuiltyFicReader (Signed)
    I enjoyed this story quite a lot. I thought the first couple f chapters were a bit slow - maybe a bit too much description and/or exposition? But it really took off and the final twist actually caused me to gasp out loud! I especially appreciated Hagrids adoption of Harry, making it different from the more run of the mill 'Snape discovers abuse, has a change of heart, adopts harry, everything's rosy". I thought the characterisation was solid - Dumbledore would definitely behave like that! That's him all over! And Myrridan and the painting(I loved the painting it showed how much thought you had put into this) both felt real and fully fleshed out characters. So well done! :D

Past Featured Story A Box of Every Flavor Beans by Dream Painter starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 21]
The first time Harry Potter ever got to go Trick-or-Treating, he had a chance meeting with an intimidating man that ended up changing his life - and perhaps that of the man himself.

Hut of No Return by shadowienne starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 93]
When the Dursleys abandoned Harry in the Hut on the Rock, he never could have foreseen how his dire predicament would lead to the fulfillment of his birthday wish for a different, better life.

Title: Chapter 10: Into the Dungeons 16 Nov 2014
Reviewer: GuiltyFicReader (Signed)
    Really enjoyed the entire story I thought the 2 main characters had good characterisation, with Severus' particularly convincing based on your AU. Lots of Harry's internal monologue, reactions to magic, convoluted logic and how he talks to the adults is hilarious, and the plot made sense. I thought Hermione's characterisation was too harsh though, as I doubt she would be so enthusiastic (pushy) when Harry was giving the right answers and not looking for her help.
    I liked the ending, sentimental and simple, just as Snape's statement was.

    Author's Response: 😊

    Author's Response: Well, this is AU, so Hermione could be a little "more" than in canon, but at least Harry was able to answer correctly this time. I really loved your detailed feedback -- one of the best responses I've gotten on any of my stories! :-) // It's been a while since I last read through Hut, but you brought back some memories that made me smile, particularly regarding Harry's reaction to magic as well as his conversations with the adult characters (particularly the magical ones). Thank you so much for your review!

    Liked this, nice to read harry as first person, makes a change. His inner monologue was convincing although Snape's reactions in the scenario seemed somewhat unlikely.
    Good end line. :)

Severus Snape hated secrets and he knew Quirrell had one and it had something to do with Harry Potter.

    I just love the line "Harry was a bit leery of this nice Professor Snape and hoped he wasn't being that way because Harry was dying."

    So funny and in character!

    Thanks
