Most self-inserts are exercises in vanity, and nothing says 'vanity' quite like Gilderoy Lockhart. But with a new personality and knowledge of the future, who knows? Maybe Lockhart will turn out to be a useful DADA teacher after all.

"I was at the nexus of galaxies, and I hadn't the foggiest notion of how I got there." A self-aware Worm one-shot, inspired by the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' prompt that's been floating around on this and a few other fanfic sites.

A Memorable History of Magic, comprising all the parts you can remember from Binns and Bagshot, including 103 Goblin Rebellions, 5 Chocolate Frog Cards, and 2 Genuine Facts. A companion piece to "Magical Me," inspired by my 'Map of Magical Europe.'

In the sky over Little Whinging, an owl dies in her cage. In the quiet suburb of Burbank, a cheerful Nerd Herder receives an email from an old college friend. At Camp Half-Blood, the new kid is claimed by a rather reclusive god. On the road in Westeros, an orphaned girl meets a Faceless Man. For each of them, the true adventure has barely begun. Ongoing one-shots, up for adoption.

Points of divergence in the Harry Potter universe. Those moments where someone really ought to have taken a step back and asked, "Wait, what?" An ongoing collection of one-shots. Episode 16: Why I Like You.

Points of divergence from the world envisioned by 'Magical Me.' This is a collection of the shorts and semi-random snippets that could have turned my self-insert fic into a very different sort of story. Episode 1: The April Fool's Day Omake.

Inspired by the video "What If 'Star Wars Episode I' Was Good?", it's a wholly re-imagined look at the 'Star Wars' prequel trilogy. Partly a script outline, partly a challenge for other authors, and partly a collection of scenes and snippets.

More points of divergence in the Harry Potter universe. These are those plot elements that, in the hands of a different author, could have driven the canon story-line right off the rails. An ongoing collection of one-shots. Episode 1: The Royal Wizard.

What is life like for a sentient hat? A first-person look inside the leathery brim, as Hogwart's famous Sorting Hat tells his side of the Harry Potter years. TO BE REWRITTEN.

Harry Potter shows up in the middle of the Council of Elrond, and shows them why all magic is equal, but some magics are more equal than others. Brace yourself: it's a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover kinda-sorta crack!fic one-shot.
