the real snapehide bio
 Author has written 41 stories for Harry Potter. My first (and so far last) foray in fandom was and is Harry Potter, although I think Downton Abbey has some fine stories that haven't been told by Mr. Fellowes. In HP, my favourite characters are Snape - obviously - and the Older Ladies. While I love good Snape/McGonagall, I'm a card-carrying member of the Old Lady Smut Brigade, and I've bedded Minerva with almost every older lady in sight. I don't have one OTP (I'm a Libra; we don't do choices), but I have a particular fondness for Minerva/Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank. . I'm a serial writer. Since the MM/WGP stories really are more fun when read in order, here's the list: 1. Sleeping Dragons 'Wilhelmina who?' you may well ask. Grubbly-Plank. Hagrid's replacement. Check out the pages of Kellychambliss and Tetleythesecond for more and truly wonderful stories on her. |
