There are 21 new icons up - 1 Draco, 2 Draco/Harry, 18 H/Hr.  Feel free to take and use; just e-mail me, please, and credit me if you can.

6-27-04

Right - so I've spent hours upon hours during the past two days setting up the Floo network, if you will.  Now, at the bottom of every fic, be it in the Archive, Productive Partnerships, or Symmetry of Power, there are links to return to you the main page, the page you came from, and a link to review.  You may get a bit confused if you click the review link because it takes you to a guestbook - but I set that up for reviewing, so have no fear.

And please, do review if you read here (and I know plenty of you have been by; the hits counter wouldn't lie to me).  I can always use a bit of constructive criticism (or an ego boost ^^), especially on newer fics and Symmetry of Power.

6-26-04

New fic in the Archive: "In the Liquor Cabinet"

6-18-04

18 new icons.

6-15-04

8 new H/Hr icons, and the fanart page has been switched around a bit - it used to be fanart by other artists, but considering the rest of the site is all about my work...I thought I'd just stick in all of my own sketches and doodles instead.

6-13-04

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last update, especially if you've been checking often for new work.  I will be better about this, I swear.

Updated areas:
The Archive - Chapters 4-7 of Sanctuary are up.
Symmetry of Power - The page for my novel-length fic has finally been created.
Icons - Over 20 new icons up, now organized by fandom.  Enjoy.

1-23-04

Sanctuary III is up in the Archive.

1-4-04

Three new fics up today - though they're not extremely new themselves.  Sanctuary II, Change, and To Break and to Mend, all in the Archive.  Coming Soon: Symmetry of Power.

11-22-03

Well, I've got a new fic up - Sanctuary (a mini-series in progress).  However, I can't get it to work for me right now.  Maybe my computer is just being stubborn.  Eh, never mind, it's working now.

11-15-03

Two new fics up - Entrapment by Nargle and Entrapment by Nargle II.  They're not sequels, but two separate fics with pretty much the same plot (mistletoe fluff), yet two different pairings.

10-26-03

I've posted a Halloween special in the Archive called "Message in a Pumpkin."  Don't let the title mislead you - the pairing isn't as obvious as it sounds.

10-13-03

I've put up more of my icons.  I've also put up a ficlet that's fresh off the grill...er...keyboard.  It's called "Anxiety" and it's at the top of the Archive.

9-28-03

You guessed it - a new fic, "Second Thoughts" is up in the Archive.

Also, I've put up some icons.  Three of them aren't showing up yet; I'm blaming that on Geocities.  I made the icons for Livejournal, but they can be used elsewhere if you like.  Feel free to use them.  The link is up in the Floo Network.

9-1-03

Another fic is up - my response for the Post-OotP Witch Weekly Challenge.  It's in the Archive, called "When Mars Is Near"

8-30-03

I've got a new fic up called "The Consequences of Buying Sugar Quills."  You can find it in the Archive.

7-27-03

No, I haven't abandoned the site!  My latest fic is up in the Archive - "Knee Deep" - and we've got a lovely sister-site, The Quill and Cauldron.  It's still under construction, but be sure to have a look at it.

6-13-03

The Recent Fics, Miscellaneous Fics, and Witch Weekly pages are down, but the Archive is up, which contains pretty much every fic I've ever written.  The Productive Partnerships page is where I've got all the round robins and roleplays I've participated in. Next, I'll get to work on fixing things up some more - adding return links to pages, making the text better, etc.  For now, happy reading!

5-26-03

I put up an un-MST-ed version of Chapter 22 of HGYOA.  You can find it with the rest of the story.  For the record, no, it is not finished and never will be.

5-25-03 -

A short new fic is up on the Recent Fics page.

5-20-03 -

The webmistress is finally active!

I updated the website today (*gasp*) with my latest fic.  I'll be putting fics up as I write them from now on.  That's the new Recent Fics page.  I hope to make a full archive for all my fics this summer, but I can't promise anything.

Sometime ages ago -

A Major Announcement:

I've stopped writing HGYOA.  There will be no Chapter 22, nor will there be a sequel as I had planned.

Before you come at me with pitch forks and flaming torches, let me explain myself.  For one, I don't even like writing this bloody fic anymore.  So many bad things I did earlier in the fic cannot be dropped, and I certainly don't want them around, and even moreso, I don't want them in a sequel.  Also, I asked that Madelyn write an MST of chapter 22 in its current state.  For those who don't know, an MST is a type of half-fic that uses other characters to sort of critique a fic.  Often, viciously.  Yes, I asked for one, and I'm glad I did.  It allowed me to really see the mistakes I've made, and just how lazy I was with chapter 22.  On top of that, I don't have the energy to rewrite the chapter.

So, I won't be finishing the chapter.  If there are quite a few people that would like to see what would have been, I will post the MST.  This way, you can see what I had planned, and also why I gave it up.  Likewise, there will not be a sequel, since there is not a complete fic to write off of.

However, I'm going to be starting something entirely new with a few recycled ideas from HGYOA.  I've only got a rough idea of what I want to do, but it may turn out to be a singular fic or perhaps go all the way to a trilogy.  This one should be much better than HGYOA, having lost all the bad cliches and poor characterization.
