Hello!

A long long time ago, I practically existed solely on FFN, writing, reading, and editing Harry Potter fan-fiction. This was in 2001 shortly after I graduated from highschool, and was most heavy during the gap between J.K. Rowling's fourth book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and it's successor Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Then after college it waned off. I settled down with my boyfriend, whom I live with now, and thought I remained enthralled with the Harry Potter universe, I ran from the online fandom that had once overtaken my life.

All of the stories you see here now are inactive. I haven't written on any of them in years. Most of them have been thoroughly torn assunder factually since the completion of the book series.

I have no current plans to continue any of them at this juncture.

Mainly, after two weeks of password guessing, I have returned to FFN because an idea has struck me. In my last round of reading, I was struck by the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I had hated the segment originally, but it has taken on new life to me now. My focus has shifted in a direction that I wouldn't previously have thought possible. And a story has been playing in my head with the same intensity that these old bits of fiction did back then.

I have started writing again for the first time in three years.

It's not ready to go up here quite yet. But it will be. Feel free to read my old works. I have been...
