Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

In time, I started to cook up ideas for them. They promoted the Cat-Chasing Clockwork Mouse as ‘a Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes exclusive by Jessie Tickes.’ Grandfather, to put it mildly, was not pleased, though it took him a full week to figure out who Jessie was. My first name is Jamesina, since there must always be a James Tickes somewhere in the family, and after my brother, they suspected the shop might one day fall to me. Dad and Uncle Gard called me Jamie, and my grandfather had always called me Jims. When you have a horrible first name, sometimes you find novel ways of defusing it. The girl with the multicolored hair whose watch kept stopping at half-past one simply refuses to acknowledge hers, and Fred and George’s littlest brother’s friend patiently pronounces and re-pronounces hers. I still can’t remember it most of the time, though. I’m not very good with names.
