Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

Harry Potter

I started reading the Harry Potter  books when I was sixteen (that's eight years ago, for anyone keeping track) and I discovered the fandom right before Goblet of Fire was published. Nothing on this page goes quite that far back - count your blessings - but there there are a few things from 2003, which is about the time I started writing stories I'm not utterly ashamed of.

I'm not writing much new in the fandom at the moment, mostly on account of my disillusionment with the last book, but there might some new stuff in the near future, either tag-fics or holiday gift fics. These are listed in the order I posted them, newest stuff first.
