Born in Denmark in the year of '79. Drink a lot of tea and is completely an utterly addicted to my dearly beloved LJ account. Feel free to friend me if you're so inclined.

I'm only posting my own favorites and newer stuff here. All my other stuff can be found at my fic comm on LJ, but I'm a fairly mediocre writer though, so consider yourself warned.

There's a lot of Draco/Hermione, a somewhat smaller amount of Severus/Hermione and a wide-ranged smattering of minor pairings including but not limited to Adrian/Hermione, Neville/Lavender, Albus/Sirius, Filch/Luna, Draco/Ginny, Harry/Pansy and Ron/Voldemort. There's also some general stuff and some original fics there.

Thanks for the giggles. So nice to read a story where no one is killed or injured.

Just good clean fun among boys! They never grow up, do they?

excellent! I love how you start off with a beginning that puts you off balance. I wasn't sure if you really were going to accuse snape of being gay.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

Thanks. :) That's what you get when you create a plot this way. We were really just bouncing ideas off each other and it took shape in a most unpredictable way. :p(Sorry, I'm so late in responding)

ROFL. It's so excellent. I'm sorry I can't say more but I need to clean my screen from what has been spittled on during the reading process. I really need to rembember to NOT drink or eat anything while reading HP fancfic labelled as humorous.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

I read that as hummous at first for some reason. I must be hungry. :DSorry about the spitting. I'm glad you liked it. :D

ROLF!Please do a sequel with the backstory of Hermione and Narcissa's friendship and misadventures of their husbands through the years.....I'm sure they came up with the satin ribbons.Lovely job.

ROFL! This was great - poor Narcissa, I rather felt sorry for her there for a bit, what with all the ruined dresses!Really funny, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks!

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

Lucius can afford her shopping sprees. :p And he owes them too now, doesn't he :pI'm glad you liked it. :)(Sorry, I'm so late in responding)

Oh, that was brilliant! Very, very good. In all honesty though, I was half expecting to discover that Lucius and Narcissa had shared the same fortified wine.Still, a truly amusing tale and one that I was disappointed to see come to an end simply because it was such a fun ride.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

I'm glad you liked it. :)No, they didn't, I couldn't make myself do that. I can't help but cringe a bit myself when in Draco-centric stories the author suddenly decides he needs to be a big brother at the age of nearly thirty. :)(Sorry, I'm so late in responding)

Lucius in Narcissa's frocks? The visual is too much. That and Severus and Lucius as old geezers is just too funny. You are very twisted. I loved the story.

This is absolutely amazing. I laughed throughout the entire thing. =] You did an awesome job writing Lucius and Sev, and I believe that this has become one of my all-time favorites.

ROFL, very well done! I loved the bit where Severus hooks Draco up with Rose just to piss Lucius off!

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

Thanks. :) Well... Hermione was already taken. :p(Sorry, I'm so late in responding)

Quite funny. Thank you for sharing.I especially like the way Lucius destroyed Severus' manly reputation and what he had to do to get it back.They say the only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys, but I think in this story, there were only boys.

This story had me nearly falling out of my chair with laughter. I'm still chuckling at the image of Lucius parading around in his pink waistcoat.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you hit the floor. :pThanks. :D

Now that is hillarious. Though I rather think LM would look good in pink with his platinum locks.

Poor Narcissa. My family thought I was having some kind of attack while I read this.Thank you for a much needed laugh in a thoroughly readable story.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

Thank you. :D Yeah, I agree. Poor Narcissa. Lucius may have been badly mistreated, but Narcissa is really bearing the brunt of all of it. Serves them right for her to learn how to "disarm" their presents.

How difficult was it to come up with all these awful gifts and nasty things to do to each other? You must have been saving them up for a while.This was hilarious. And if Hermione wanted to get in Severus' bed that badly, that was the perfect way to do it. Smart girl.

Response from Moreteadk (Author of One-Upmanship)

Well, Bambu and I outlined the whole thing in that LJ thread. It totally ran away from us, so I had help. :p I could never have done it on my own (although I wish I had). The Insta-Beard Lotion was mine though, and I'm kinda proud of it. I imagine Lucius spent the next few days shaving every hour.As for Hermione, until the point where she actually landed on the mattress I think she really did believe the rumours.

Response from notsosaintly (Reviewer)

I can imagine her thinking, "All the good ones are either taken or gay," and then he went to such lengths to disprove it. And a hedonist. Oh, in my dreams.
