Bio:I'm a 26-year-old graduate student living in Ohio. I don't have a lot of time to write, but reading Harry Potter fan fiction is one of my few guilty pleasures. I'm firmly in the H/G camp, but I do enjoy reading other pairings from good writers. I'm particularly impressed with most of Jeconais' work. If you're feeling slightly open-minded, I'd recommend checking out Hope over at fanficauthors.net. It's very well written and doesn't engage in Ginny-bashing like a lot of non-HG stories I've read. (I don't think that will run afoul of the link restrictions, but I'll change it if it's a problem.)
I also occasionally write stories outside the HP universe, but most of them have never seen the light of day. Perhaps that will change if I ever get around to cleaning them up enough so they're fit for public consumption.
Most of my ideas seem to center around the Chamber of Secrets in some fashion. That's probably because I've always considered what happened to Ginny something of an abomination, and I've been itching to fix it for years. I thought about trying just that without invoking Future!Harry or an overly-mature Harry, but at some point the idea turned into a satire. It's called Harry Potter and the Butterfly Effect, but it's purely in the concept stage at the moment, and I'm not sure when it'll go farther.
Other than that, I've got two post-Chamber stories in the works. One I've already started writing (and posting), and it's called The Long, Lonely Road. The other is purely in the planning stages. I might try to work on it in parallel with LLR, or I might not. I've also got a few shorter stories in various stages of completion, but I've set them aside for the time being. Look for them when you see them.
Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright. --Sam Seaborn

The first day of Harry's second school year started rather badly, and the rest of the term was looking glum, too. He was beginning to think it might have been better if the train ride had never happened. The unusual sorting only confirmed his feelings. The only highlights were his two new friends, an old black diary and a young redheaded girl.

Chary Potter and the Years of Reluctance by Hippothestrowl [Reviews - 183]
Friendless, bullied, seen as worthless by the Dursleys, Harry's natural rebellious and adventurous nature was repressed. Life was only bearable if he kept out of the way so he grew up unwilling to step out of line. He lives by his wits but has high ideals and courage below the surface. Harry is simply reluctant to draw attention to himself — it's less painful that way!

Saving Harry by The Seeker [Reviews - 1040]
** Winner of the March 2008 Dumbledore's Silver Trinket Award for Best Overall ** What if JKR had never intended the Harry Potter series to be for children? How would Harry’s time at the Dursleys been written? This story focuses on the years Harry lived in the cupboard under the stairs at number four Privet Drive, as well as his first appearance at Hogwarts. The treatment he receives during his decade there is not described in fairy tale terms. The boy who initially develops is not the Harry Potter we know. The story is liberally AU, with different personality traits, events, and relationships used to reflect the changes in this very different Harry and the environment in which he grew up. In the end, through the assistance of a certain redheaded young lady, Harry ultimately finds the life he should have had and rediscovers the qualities he always had inside of him. While I am not a psychologist or child development....

Sonar Location by GinHarryFreaks [Reviews - 21]
*** The author has been reminded via the e-mail address on file that this story is listed as incomplete and has not been updated in over 2 years ***
The first night is always the hardest for the new kids here. The quiet solitude of the nighttime let their traumas come to life and sink in. It was the absence of their parents’ hugs and comforts that made them curl themselves into a ball; it was the dreary walls and strange faces that made them rock themselves in an attempt at comfort; but it was the traumas of their all-too-recent pasts that made them cry and moan, the knowledge that life as they knew it was forever over that made them wish for nothing more than for the nightmares to end. It was on these nights, the nights of new arrivals, that the lad known as Sonar would take to wandering....
