The Alternative Potter

Okay, you’re not allowed to click on this link if you haven’t finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yet, but if you have… The Alternative Potter. It’s a contest that the Guardian ran where people rewrote the climax of the book in the styles of various other authors. My favorite is the Irvine Welsh (who wrote Trainspotting). I like the idea of Voldemort as Begbie. (Link courtesy of Kevin.)

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
