I'm a fan of Harry Potter, but not a fanatic. What I mean is, I enjoy the books, but I haven't obsessed over or memorized every single detail in them. That said, if you catch any discrepancies in my writing, unless it's major, just try to ignore it and enjoy the story for what it is.

I only have one story published so far because, as I said earlier, I just started. If all goes well I may write more.
