annoyedgiraffehide bio
Hey there everyone. This is annoyedgiraffe here (duh). I am an avid literature fan, and I have quite a love for fanfiction. Harry Potter is a particular love of mine: the world, the characters, the story, and the magic. I have been reading for awhile, and have written short stories of my own for a while outside of fanfiction. But now I am turning to writing fanfiction myself. Right now I am focusing on HP, since Star Wars someone turned me off with the direction of the more recent movies (not Rogue One, that was a curveball and a breath of fresh air for sci-fi in many ways). My current projects include:
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy what I have coming out. |
