Hello!

I'm a twenty-something-year-old from Oregon, in the U.S. I have been reading fanfiction for about 10 years, though have written sparingly since then, it's only been within the last couple of years that I've gotten more involved.

I have a rather unhealthy obsession with cats, being that they're the only animals where they appreciate me as much as I do them, and I write Harry Potter fanfiction -- hence the name "MagikCat."

Nowadays I mostly write gen, but when I do ship I stick with canon. I read and enjoy a lot of Rare Pairs and writing about characters we know nothing about. I tend to update my livejournal faster than I do here, so if you go to my LiveJournal at , you'll likely find a fic or two not published here.

Quotes for some reason are my friend, so a lot of my stories have them, and I'm always on the lookout for a good quote.

I love reviews and comments , and I'll be sure to respond if you do so.
