The Next Lord of Kobol

2013-03-01T22:01:19+00:00

Carried to the far end of the Galaxy by the veil in the Department of Mysteries, Harry Potter becomes a veritable stranger in a strange land. But all the obstacles he has faced pale in comparison to the Cylon menace. Starts in the middle of Harry's fifth year and roughly eleven years before the fall of the Twelve Colonies.

Turn Me Loose: A Harry Potter Adventure

2010-11-13T13:29:41+00:00

The sequel to Bungle in the Jungle. Told in 2nd person. Harry Potter has returned to England. In the jungles of South America, he became his own man, a hero of his own choice and not unfortunate circumstance. Is it enough to save him? To survive this time, he must overcome his enemies and perhaps even his allies. He must be faster, smarter, and better than ever. If he is to prevail, he must become more that a chosen one, more than a child with a clever moniker, he must become a legend.

With This I Smite You and Hell Hath No Pizza

These two stories were written for a contest promoted by Wil Wheaton (yeah the guy who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek) and John Scalzi (current president of the Science Fiction Writers Association and well respected Sci-fi author). The Prompt is at http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/05/30/fanfic-contest/. Perspicacity brought it to my attention and we both entered. Here they are for your enjoyment. The prize is double pro rate (10 cents per word) and inclusion into a chapbook with Wheaton, Scalzi, Patrick Rothfuss and several other big names in writing all for a charity book with proceeds going to the Lupus Alliance. Altogether, there were over 350 entries, so Pers and I aren't fooling ourselves that will win. Still we wrote some pretty entertaining stories and figured we'd share them.

Number Games

Ron Weasley, an aging quidditch player playing in the biggest game of his life, looks back at all the places where his life changed for the better or the worse.

The Inner Eye of Harry Potter

2010-02-12T12:12:02+00:00

Imagine Harry Potter raised by Sibyll Trelawney. He arrives at Hogwarts versed in the higher arts of Divination, Arithmancy, Numerology, and Palmistry. You know - real magic and certainly not that foolish wand waving and ingredient mixing.

Follow the humorous adventures of a decidedly different Harry Potter.

Better Watch Out

2010-01-12T08:47:39+00:00

This was written for the OftenInspired.com Christmas contest. It lost to an interesting story about Santa as a package of bacon, but I'm still pretty pleased with the result.

The Lie I've Lived

2009-05-28T14:13:55+00:00

Not all of James died that night. Not all of Harry lived. The Triwizard Tournament as it should have been and a hero discovering who he really wants to be.

The Rally

2008-11-04T01:36:59+00:00

This is an original piece that was written for Apex Digest's Election Horror contest. Since it didn't win and it sort of loses it's timeliness, I figured that I would go ahead and release it here for your amusement.

Enjoy.

Unlikely Allies

2008-04-25T08:59:24+00:00

Written for the March/April Potterficforum Challenge. I was assigned the characters of Draco and Ginny. This is a scene inspired by by Nukular Winter. His original idea was them arguing at the equivalent of a Hogwart's PTA meeting. Instead, I put them on the Hogwarts Board of Governors.

To Fight the Coming Darkness

2007-11-12T04:16:08+00:00

What is more frightening? The enemies Harry will fight in a war to control Magical Britain or the things he will have to do - the person he will become if he is to win? Can Susan Bones save him from himself? Follow them in their struggle against a realistic Voldemort. Expect twists on cliches and things you take for granted in the HP universe.

Bungle in the Jungle

2007-05-08T10:23:37+00:00

Get into the mind of Harry Potter as he experiences betrayals and self discovery. Told from the second person perspective. A look at cursebreaking and animagery like you haven't seen before.
