Author has written 12 stories for Harry Potter.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

Once upon a time, I was a bored high school student who loved writing–and I suppose that's how I got my start writing the completely nonsensical and hilarious True Confessions. Now, I'm a busy college student majoring in History who still loves writing, but I have a hard time finding the time to do it. While I know this doesn't excuse my lack of updates, it's the main reason. However, as a resolution for my last semester of college, I decided to spend more time writing. For one, it will help me get through writing blocks when I'm working on my thesis for graduation. But mostly, I just want to finish what I've started because–trust me–these stories have been bouncing around my head for years.

I also think it is very kind and thoughtful when readers take the time to review. It means a lot as a writer to get feedback.

And finally, to Readers it may concern:I can't say I have anything in the works except finishing what I've already posted. I'll be sure to update this in the future if that changes.

The following works have been completed:
-It's a Bitter Sweet Symphony, a Star Trek fic co-authored with WHASHMACKITY. [here]
-The True Confessions of Elizabeth Reynolds, and accompanying one shots.
-A Bird in Flight: Revelries of a Quidditch Captain, and accompanying one shots.
-The Twelve Days of Christmas, a self-imposed challenge collection of HPcanonOC one-shots for winter 2010.

These are still in the works:
-Wee Birdies Sing: Revelries of an English Export, a sequel to Bird in Flight.
-The Course of Empire.
-Rolling in the Deep.

Mischief managed.
