I'm a bookworm with a passion for travelling and nature. I love camping, hiking, wild swimming, and going places off the beaten track. I write whenever I can.

My stories...

"The Divide": Juliet and Jennifer Belstone are twin girls, but catastrophically for them, only one of them is born a witch. When Juliet is forced to go to Hogwarts and leave her sister behind, they are determined to find a way to become reunited...but how? An epic adventure begins, as they embark on a journey that takes them far beyond Britain to places of ancient magic, in a quest to turn Jennifer into a witch.

"The Otter and the Hare" is a one-shot (I love the idea of Animagi and if I could choose one magical power this would be it). I have ideas for other one-shots brewing and I'm also eyeing some forum challenges with interest, but for now I will mostly likely just be focusing on "The Divide".

I've read HP fanfiction for years. I enjoy Marauder-themed stories most, and Remus Lupin has always been my ultimate favourite character, but I have many other interests.

Here are notes on a few of my current favourite stories:

Jess Pallas' "For Want of Silken Thread" - read if you are also a Lupin fan. It is so well-written and suspenseful.

I have found a few amusing poems recently: Hexterior's "Snape" cracked me up, as did two poems by InkandPaper, "The Ballad of Odo" and"Hoggy, Warty Hogwarts".

Hexterior's Dahl-esque one-shot "Teacups are the Nemesis of Small Furry Animals": a story derived from one tiny event in HBP: the Prime Minister's teacup which Cornelius Fudge turned into a gerbil!

If you like Minerva McGonagall and want to find out more about her past then look no further than Swooping Evil's "What defines us is how well we rise after falling", a long series of one-shots covering McGonagall's whole life.

"Harry Potter and the Troublesome Transfiguration" by mdauben is high on the list of my favourite favourites! If you enjoy Animagus stories, read it. Harry gets stuck in Animagus form. It's very funny and sweet.

"Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall" by i love music is a lovely story about Draco and Astoria and a handful of utterly hilarious and adorable kids.

I have lots of other favourites and will add more now and again. Recommendations are welcomed, especially for awesome Marauders or Remus stories. In general, humour is preferred to angst, canon to AU. I particularly like fics that fill in blanks in the books, or character histories.

Lastly, I love all reviews and find them very motivating. Any constructive criticism is welcome to help me improve, but just checking in to say you are reading is always very nice, too.

Anyway, enough from me here. See you around!
