I have written fan fiction for years, but until recently, they were mostly based upon 'real' people - or at least my image of them! Mostly pop stars! Finally started branching out into the fictional fandom world a few years back and I'm not going back (and no one will ever see those very early fics either :P)!

I love to write, it's my escapism and something I need. So I hate it when my muse goes AWOL on me, which she often does between pieces! One day, it is my dream to write something original and be published...one day!

I'm a fan of many things - Vampire Academy, Idina Menzel, Wicked, Disney, Murdoch Mysteries and more, but what I'm most passionate about is Harry Potter!

I truly believe that the whole Potter world is my happy place...my safe place. Because although I drift off into other fandoms occasionally and become obsessed with other things, whenever I become disillusioned with that new fandom or grow tired of it, I always, always come back to Harry Potter and fall a little deeper each time...the magical world is always there to welcome me home.

In Harry Potter world I adore Ron...I don't think his character is given enough credit and him with Hermione is adorable - they just work! They are my OTP and no one is blowing holes in my ship!! All my ships are cannon, I don't write much else besides Ron and Hermione (though other characters feature heavily) and I don't particularly enjoy none canon pairings. And whilst I'm at it, although I have a love/hate relationship with The Cursed Child (LOVED it in the theatre and thought the actors brought heart to characters that was missing from the script, but I don't really care for the actual story!) I pretty much ignore that it exists when I am writing.

I also have a soft spot for Sirius and still cry like a baby at the end of 'Order of the Phoenix' no matter how many times I read/watch it (I also always finish up in a complete mess of snot and tears during Deathly Hallows - but that's another story!

My story 'What's In A Name' won runner up in the romance section in the 2016 Ron and Hermione awards on Tumblr :)

I have a few more Ron and Hermione stories currently in the works or in editing stages and also one about George and Angelina I had a go at - plenty more to come!

(no spaces) I'm more of my geeky self on Twitter though - that is where you'll find most of my Potter ramblings and stuff.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or his friends or his world (sadly) I am not and have never pretended to be JK Rowling - I make no money from this, it just entertains me to write and I post to hopefully entertain those with sense who appreciate fanfiction!
