I've changed, and so did my pen name. I was the author formally known as Sophia Lobato, but the person I was one year ago isn't quite the same person I am right now, obstacles, writer's block and personal life issue notwithstanding. I hope you all can respect that.

My stories are here, and they won't be abandoned. My main project remains to finish re-writing and re-posting Crossroads, as task that is proving herself to be one of the most arduous, reflective and rewarding things I've ever done. I'm also in desperate need of a beta, someone who's good with grammar, likes discussing characters motivations and voice at length and isn't easily annoyed, because it's not piece of cake, re-doing something you've been so inspired and certain about it two years ago, but is struggling to reconcile your original vision with the one you have now simply because you must do it - for yourself and for the people who'd dedicated their times to read it, to give back encouragement, constructive criticism and ideas for you.

I'm back, in small doses, and I'm hoping not to go away again. This is me, thanking you, for every kind word, every review and/or alert, every moment I've felt cherished, appreciated and seen in this fandom.

Love,

lachambre11, sophia lobato, sophia weasley - you name it.
