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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
