GENERAL QUESTIONS

First, some general questions...

May I Borrow...?

If you want to borrow a concept, object, or idea from any of my stories, please contact me first and tell me the following:

  •  what you want to borrow
  • why you want to borrow it
  • how it will be used
  • anything else you think you should include
I'm usually cool with people borrowing things from my stories, but I do like to know about it.  Also, send me a link to your story so I can read it! 

Relationships/Romance

Not going to happen in the stories, folks.  Sorry.  I really don't care for too much romance.  I'll mention people pairing up and dating, but I'm not going to have characters spouting poetry at each other.  If things in a story change, and I decide that the characters need partners and pairings, I will make it obvious.  If, and it's a big "if", I decide to write a pairing story, I will warn you in the summary. 

Read and critique?

A number of people have asked that I read and critique their work, both fanfiction and original.  As much as I wish that I could do this for every person that asks, I simply do not have enough hours in the day.  I promise to read as many as I may in my free time, but I may not be able to leave a full critique.  Please don't be offended if that happens.

Translation

If you want to lend your awesome language skills to one of the stories, just send me a message and tell me which language.  I get a request from time to time, and I like to keep track of who is doing what so that I can direct people to the correct translation. 

Please check the Links section for links to the translations.

An Aunt's Love

Ah, my first fanfiction!  There have been loads of questions on this one.  Here are a few of the more common ones:

  • Is this story slash? - No.  I don't write slash.  Sorry to disappoint.
  • Will Harry have a girlfriend/boyfriend in this story?  - If he does have a girlfried or boyfriend, then he hasn't told me!  There most likely won't be a romantic interest for Harry in this story.
  • UPDATE!!! (and variations thereof)  - I promise you, I am working on the next chapter.  I wish I could update every week, but I have numerous activities, and work takes up a good amount of time. 
  • Have you abandoned this story? - No.  I've discovered my readers are unlikely to allow the abandonment of "An Aunt's Love."  They are not above death threats, and I'm sure a few are rabid enough to carry out those threats.  Updating happens when it happens, but I will never abandon this.
  • I demand you take this awful story down...etc etc etc - Sure thing.  Just as soon as I tell all 2.8 million people who've read it that I'm taking it down.  Can I come stay with you for protection, sort of like Witness Protection?  No?  Sorry, can't take it down then.  Too many readers....they'll kill me.  
  • People asked you to take down "An Aunt's Love?"  - Happens about once a month.  Meh. 
  • Did you get the idea for Khalid from the Twilight vampires? - I was amazed by the number of people asking this question.  No, I did not.  I had never heard of Twilight until the reviews asked about Khalid.  Khalid popped into my imagination.  Nothing more.
  • Why doesn't Harry just off Voldemort since he's so powerful? - Bleys told Harry that Voldemort needed to give Harry something of himself to complete the circle.  Voldemort hasn't given him anything yet.  You can find the explanation in the Bleys sections of the story.  It's there, I promise.  

What is Right:  Year One

This story is my first attempt at independent fanfiction writing and I've discovered something:  it's hard!  Here are some of the more common questions from "What is Right":

  •  How did Harry die? - His body just gave up.  Ron and Hermione were killed while he held them.  Voldemort's last spell was just a little "treat" for Harry, but Harry was standing on his last legs, so to speak.  He just couldn't take anymore.
  • Will Harry get away from his relatives? - I'm afraid you'll have to read the sequel to find that out!  ;)
  • Who is Harry's trainer/teacher? - Can't tell you.  It will come out eventually.  I promise.
  • Will Harry and Draco become friends?  - At this point, I would call them good acquaintances.
