Hi folks, I still refuse to believe that anyone actually cares who we authors are, just that we keep the chapters coming; but I'll write this bio anyway since this website is so proficiently done that it is a pleasure to tarry here! This is Nigel Tatsuya, by the way. My partner in crime...er...uh, I mean my co-author has granted me permission to post the R-Rated Version of Remembrance and Renewal here. You'll notice quite a number of differences between the version already posted at Fanfiction.net, and this one, and that's because El directs that PG-13 version, and he'll allow me to direct this R-Rated one. Both stories will follow the same outline drafted in 2003, but because El and I have very different writing styles, the execution of the stories will reflect that. The scenes we keep or delete will also be different, as that has been a source of contention throughout our time writing together. So we humbly hope you'll enjoy our efforts, and would like to extend a thanks to Jan_AQ and company for inviting us to this beautiful website. Thanks to all of you as well for reading this far. I doubt any of you really did read this far, and to prove it, I'll now stand on my head and sing. No, El's not around right now.

Here's our old bio from Fanfiction Net. Hello world, thank you for all the wonderful fanfics those of you in this community have been posting. We've been loving them so much that we've felt the need to contribute. Please feel free to enjoy our humble contributions. As for other things you might want to know? I am Avatar Arkmage, and I'm just a crazy tech guy who got bitten (or more likely infected) by the fanfic bug, and the only known cure for that is to join the fic writing party. Yes folks, you heard that right, I am a guy. My favorite character is Professor Severus Snape. That may sound a little strange to some of you, but Professor Snape reminds me so much of my best friend and colleague that I couldn't help but respect the snarky potions dude too. Coincidentally, I've asked Nigel's help to write this first fic of mine...but don't tell him what I said about him or else he'll get really mad and I'll have to listen to all his sarcastic insults next time I have to work on his computer network. So enjoy folks! *Whispering* Incidentally, does anyone have any good Male Pregnancy fics to recommend? Not that I'd like to take lessons in doing that mind you, but I find those stories interesting!

Hello folks, this is Nigel. Seeing as I've been writing with this pacifist, er, I mean fellow, for almost six months now, I thought I'd best not let Avatar do all the talking on our bio. So hello ladies, gentlemen, undecideds, aliens and whomever else is out there. Nice to meet you all. Well I've been writing fics for at least 5 years now, mostly Paris/Kim slash in the Star Trek Voyager universe. When Avatar asked me to help him with "Remembrance and Renewal" in the Harry Potterverse, I was unsure of it because it was an entirely different fandom than I'm used to. And writing something non-slash is something I haven't tried and even suggested putting some in and...well to make a long story short, Avatar went a little green in the face because prudy boy can't stand the slash. So you'll be happy know that "Remembrance and Renewal" will not have slash, or any pairings for that matter, (with the exception of the implied Severus Snape/Lily Evans pairing of course, as it is a Severitus fic and Harry wasn't conceived via parthenogenesis) Why no pairings? Well aside from the fact that Avatar has no experience writing romance, Harry and company are still a bit young, and I doubt they'd even do much in the way of serious relationships. Hmm...I thought I'd have more to say. Oh well, no one reads this stuff anyway. I'll prove that no one reads this...

Nigel:Yo Severus! Get your arse in here.

Severus:Will you stop that infernal shouting, Nigel! I was working on a sensitive potion...

Nigel:I don't care if you were dancing the naked hula in there with a rubber chicken on your head, Severus! I just wanted to prove that no one ever reads these bios. After all, no one cares WHO writes their favourite stories, they just like to read them. See I'll prove it. *Tats gets naked and goes streaking around the room* See Severus? No one will ever know I just did that! No one saw me. Oh well except you of course, but we're both blokes, so what's the difference eh? *puts clothes back on*

Severus: Am I to understand that no one will ever hear us? In that case, I would like to discuss with you the erectile dysfunction potion I am currently working on, and make a comparative study with methods commonly used in the muggle world.

Nigel:*Whispers* I don't know if you're aware of this, but why would you need that potion, Severus? You're the most virile dude in the whole Harry Potter series if I'm not mistaken. Do you realize that you've been paired with everyone from Albus to *ulp* Voldemort?

Severus: Precisely the rationale for brewing a potion of this nature. I get not a moment's rest, and surely you understand that a man can only...perform...so much in a twenty-four hour time period.

Nigel: *cringes* Ouch! Well thanks to my prude of a co-author, you haven't had sex in our fic since 1979, so at least we've granted you some respite.

Severus: I don't require that much respite! Oh but it is welcome as I am required to perform for all the other artfully written stories out there. If you will stop being an exhibitionist to people who aren't there, I would like to discuss my potion...

Nigel: Very well. I'll go fetch my Andrologia and Urological journals, we can discuss the latest muggle interventions for erectile dysfunction. By the way, at least no one paired you with the sorting hat yet.

Severus: So you believe, Nigel. So you believe... See? No one ever heard us
