Author has written 6 stories for Harry Potter. It took me over thirty years to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up - a teacher at Hogwarts. There's just one problem - REALITY! Instead, I've settled for teaching college math in the midwest US. Believe it or not, I still have to grade essays but, thankfully, they aren't 12 inches long. My daughter won't allow me to ship anything but Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny when it comes to the Trio. I'm okay with that since I'm more interested in the adult characters for fan fiction anyway. My pet peeve in the shippings I see is the pairings of characters who have had a student/teacher relationship at some point. I suppose it's my professional take on things and just can't believe it as easily as other ff writers do. There have been a few that used a setting far enough removed from the original relationship that I can go along with a well-written match. Looking at my stories, you may have guessed that my favorite characters are Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape. The first because I think she's a great teacher, a good mentor, a loyal friend and a brave woman. The second because he has a mysterious past, he had the courage to turn on LV and he keeps doing the right thing even when he doesn't want to. Update March 2011 It has been suggested that I change my screen name to ProfessorGonnaBe or ProfessorSoonToBe. There haven't been any story updates for a long while because I took the plunge and went back to school in search of those all-important little letters to put behind my name: PhD. Five (long) weeks left of coursework then the dissertation fun begins. I hope I get my fiction-writing brain back after all this scholarly junk!! Btw, the middle-school daughter who got me interested in HP fan fiction is now a college freshman and doesn't care in the least about shipping speculations. ;-) |
