Beast Within Poll Result

Veela and Dragons Really Like Each Other.

It was close with only a lead of 2 votes more than Veela Really Like Dragons

Beast Within Poll - Top Floor

Well, the 2nd version finally went through. Let's see how this one goes.

Beast Within Poll - First Floor

How do Veela and Dragons interact?

This is the 3rd attempt at posting this. I'm getting annoyed.

Beast Within Poll - Lobby

The next chapter will bring Harry to the Quidditch World Cup. This is the first time he's encountered a Veela. It would also set a precedence for how his interaction with Fleur would go.

I'm conflicted. I love pairing Fleur and Harry, if that isn't obvious with my other stories. Still, I don't want to do the same thing over and over if you all are tired of it.

Why not settle it with a poll?

Harry stood with the other Gryffindors waiting for the visitor's arrival. Ron stood beside him, the twins were behind them, pressed against his other side was Lavender, Parvati, and Hermione. Somehow the trio had managed to wiggle close to him. Katie was with Angelina and Al...

Miscalculation - Chapter 9

Harry closed his eyes as the Port Key activated. He felt the familiar pull begin to ease and braced himself for a landing. Even after all these years he hated most Magical versions of transportation. Port Keys were the least objectionable, but they still were uncomfortable. He did eventually become accustomed to Apparation. That didn't make it a pleasant experience.

He opened his eyes to see that he was standing in the entryway to a stately building. It didn't have any homey touches whi...

A New Potter - Chapter 9

Casting -
Katie Bell – Emily Grey
Penelope Clearwater – Heidi Romanova

A coil of nervous energy woke me up early the next morning. I went through my morning routine and found myself in the Common Room waiting until the others woke up. Ron grumbled about me not waking him. Instead of replying I just rolled my eyes at him and left. The walk down took longer than I had expected. Either the stairs had moved, which was a possibility, or I wasn't paying attention.

A Spider in Gotham v2 - Chapter 1

Peter watched as the world around him changed. Ned and MJ disappeared, Strange had sent them to safety as part of the spell. A golden glow surrounded them both. He raised his hand in a wave.  The world seemed darker without them around. He cocked his head to the side. That wasn't it. The world was actually darker. He noticed a spark from one of the various broken bits of machinery slowly arch through the air.

He turned back to find Strange still floating in the air before him. The ...

The Beast Within - Chapter 16

Apologies for he lateness. My power blinked while I had the file open and I had to dig through the temp files to find the work I had lost. This ruined my mood so I had to take some time away from the PC.

Harry looked around the restaurant. It wasn't one he recognized or even thought he had ever seen before. On top of all that, each booth was covered for privacy. The scent of the place was a muddled mess due to the variety of odors from people, their clothing, and vari...

Poll - The Reckoning

They keep pulling me back

Poll - New with New Car Smell

The same poll as previous, but (as suggested) with multiple choice for a clearer picture of the results. :)

Poll - New Car Smell plus

Second verse, same as the first.

Poll Result

The option with the most votes was to keep going with the HP parodies as the main focus. That's fine, I can do that. I wanted to test the waters to see if there were expanded interest. Plus, I've been wanting to write a superhero story.

Coming in second was the v2 of Spider in Gotham. I started to plot it out just for the hell of it. So far, it looks like it would be a slow burn with the explicit scenes earned. The first time around felt like the Peter/Stephanie scene was just kind of s...

Let's Try That Again Redux - Chapter 13

"I'll miss you, pup," Sirius said hugging Harry tightly. "Do you have everything? Trunk, wand, sword?"

"Funny," Harry rolled his eyes. "I'll miss you too. Don't get in too much trouble while I'm gone."

"I would never," Sirius clutched his chest in shock. "At least, I won't get caught."

The two looked very much like father and son. They were both wearing muggle style clothing with slacks, dress shirts, and oxfords. The shoes were made of dragonhide, and their clothes were mad...

Poll Part 3

I realized that I don't have to wait for one poll to end before I start the next. This will speed along the process.

Poll Part 2

Going forward, do you think 2 or 3 Polls would be better?

Spider-Man, Spider-Man - Poll 1

Just a quick poll.

Option #1 - Spider in Gotham v2
Similar to the A New Potter and Let's Try That Again. A second draft with plot planned out.

Option #2- I came here for Harry Potter Parodies, not Spider-Man

Option #3- Spider-Man Beyond aka Beyond
Previous Poll Winner

Part 1 - Open to All Tiers of Patrons
Part 2 - Open for will be for Large and Extra Large Tiers
Part 3 - Open for Extra Large Tier

I think this will be how Polls will work from now on s...

Wild Magic - Chapter 33

Harry had a lot to think about on the way back. Now that he had 'found' a room he could approach Hermione about setting up a study group. It was nice of Percy to offer his office, but Harry didn't want the group to be discovered and have it come back hurt his new favorite professor. Percy had proven himself not only as a competent teacher, but as an intelligent man who knew how to ask the right questions. The often-overlooked Weasley knew he publicly he couldn't say he believed Harry. The fac...

Time Keeps on Slipping - Chapter 19

~§~
I'm focusing on increasing the per-chapter wordcount. Aiming for a minimum of 5k with a full goal of 10k and it is slowing down posts. Started reading a story that was roughly 1200 words per chapter and found it annoying. Felt like each one ended at the halfway point. I don't want to do that.

Harry and the others returned to Hogwarts without any further discussion. The nervous energy that he had on the train was gone now that he had something else to focus on. D...

Mordred's Bane

-Note-
This was a one off for now. It was an idea that struck me and I wanted to get it out in case of further use.
-Note- 

Cedric was dead, Voldemort was back, and Harry was stuck in his room. It made no sense. He had hoped that someone would come break him out. Fred and George had done it before. Surely, everyone could see it needed to happen again. That had been his hope at first. Now, it had been two weeks and there was still nothing.

Harry stared out his window, th...

Miscalculation - Chapter 8

Harry adjusted the cuff of his right sleeve again for at least the tenth time in the last minute. He had opted for a charcoal gray long-sleeved dress shirt and black gloves rather than rely on a glamour. His cufflinks and lapel pin were emerald, green to match his eyes. He tried for a more casual look but wasn't sure how successful he had been. In an effort to appear less stuffy he had ditched his cloak. On the muggle side of the world, he could blend in easily with a high-class crowd. It did...

I am sick

What I thought was a bit of bleh turned out to be a cold.
Will try to get a chapter up soon.
Sleep time now

Apologies for the Delay

The next post will either be later today or Saturday. Currently, the chapter is sitting at around 4,500 words and there are still a few plot points I want to hit before it's done.

Thank you for your patience. I'll make sure it is worth the wait.

A New Potter - Chapter 8

I met up with everyone in the basement. It was a nice surprise to find that Tonks and Fleur were there as well. Hermione rushed over to the blonde witch when she noticed her. The two fell into a rapid conversation in French that I couldn't understand at all. I scanned the rest of the gathered group to see if they were caught off guard by this as well. They didn't react to the duo, other than Ron pinching himself every time his eyes went distant.

"You ok there, Ron?" I asked with a wry s...

Time Keeps Slipping flavor check

I'm interested in what everyone wants the story to be.

A New Potter - Chapter 7

Dobby and I were gone for thirty minutes at most. The little elf wasn't so excited when we got back. Either the house was giving him bad vibes, or he wasn't happy about what I had just done. We appeared back in the study where I had been before. A new stack of books was placed on the table beside my chair with my wand on top.

I grumbled to myself as I took the wand and slid it into my wrist-holster. Just because I could feel the magic in the air and manipulate it didn't mean I was going...

A New Potter - Chapter 6

Edited to fix mistakes

A short while ago

I looked down at the two journals in my hands.

"You two are awesome," I chuckled. "Did you take into account that numerous Death Eaters will try to tear this apart and track the source?"

"Of course," One twin said.
"You wound us, sir," the other said.
"They can track it if they want, it's in the cloud," the first twin preened.

That phrase tickled a p...

Which choice should Harry take?

A New Potter - Chapter 5

A stampede of footfalls greeted me as we stepped inside. The approach was interrupted as Tonks tripped over an umbrella stand that wasn't there a moment ago. Shouted slurs from the other room shifted the attention to the uncovered painting.

"Shut up, you damn old bat," Sirius yelled at the painting of his mother.

I leaned into the room just enough to see inside. The haggard wizard draped a thick blanket over the painting. It served to muffle the screaming. After a moment the sound...
