Started writing HP fics in 2005, did it for a looong time, got busy and stopped. I'm back to it again to blow off steam between writing my "real" books and applying for grants to continue doing thus.In my free time, I like to cook and write fiction (HP fan and otherwise). My favorite HP pairings are SS/HG, HP/DM, but I also lilke Hermione with Lupin, and I also enjoy Moody and Dung is hilarious. Not a fan of Ron, HG/Dumbledore, vampires, or Snupin. Nothing against fans of those, just personal taste.
Reviews for Can't Be Too Careful
Excellent. One comment is that it could have omitted the self-referencing stories. Playing it straight would be better, but that's just an opinion.

Thanks for your review! Glad you enjoyed. I think you are right about the references. I wanted to jog everyone's memory since the other stories are over 3 years old, but I probably could have left well enough alone.
As per the initial author's note, are you acquiring the skill of stealing instead of borrowing?Melodrama? What melodrama?
Response from severina (Author of Can't Be Too Careful)
Nope, just joking. Sorry if it offended you. I've actually removed that disclaimer in favor of the usual "nothing is mine." The melodrama as in hamminess of the murder's internal monologue and the way he sounds like a cliched villain at first. Thanks for the review!
Response from Amita (Reviewer)
It was intended as a compliment as in the quote attributed to both T. S. Eliot and Picasso: 'Good artists borrow; great artists steal.'Got the villain part, but it could be a realistic depiction of a psycho.

oooh, lol, wow, I'm pretty slow on the uptake today! I love TSE, I can't believe I didn't pick up on that. Guess that's my cue for more sleep. I'm glad you like the story so far 
Great melange of characters with scenes ranging from madcap comedy to realistic bickering.
