I am a sixteen year-old, female resident of Illinois. I used to write fan fiction stories, but quickly discovered that I don't have the patience, organization, and clear sentence structure for it. My fragmented, distorted fictions are nestled safely in Word.

I'm not really a tart hoyden. My chosen ff.net user id is a respectful tip of the hat to the talented mind who produced Ouroborous.

I've been reading Harry Potter since I was eight years old, yes, since 1998, and have been familiar enough with the on-line fan community to be terrified of people like jodel and duj. My favorite Harry Potter-related sites are the WIKTT group, mugglenet.com, and redhen-publications.com.

I generally only read stories colored by Professor Snape and Hermione Granger. I still live in a pre-HBP fantasy, because I don't like the style of several stories that have been written accepting the HBP canon.

The ABBA song, When I Kissed the Teacher, is terrific and is so much fun to listen to! Other amusing bands are Draco and the Malfoys and Harry and the Potters. For Professor Snape fans, I recommend "Potions Yesterday"; on a side note, "My Dad is Rich" sent me into stitches.
