New decade, new pen name. Before ff.net had rules for duplicate pen names, I went by "Lily Potter," then switched to "Anonygirl" when there were about 30 "Lily Potters" on ff.net. I've changed it again to "magpieforjoy" for something more appropriate for me and a bit less... anonymous sounding, I suppose. Hope that doesn't throw y'all off too much.

I was very young (and obsessed) when I wrote the Harry Potter fanfic archived here, and I'm not terribly proud of it... so there you go. I promise I have much improved in the 10 year interim (or at least I hope!), so I decided to try again with the Superman fandom, which I loved reading for the few years before I began posting that. I thank the very supportive people at 12 Days of Clois for finally pulling me out of my shell and Shado Librarian for asking me to post to the Big Apricot Archive - which got me thinking I should maybe post again here. I've been a fan of the movies since childhood, I still make myself watch Smallville, I love the DCAU, and I have been keeping up with L&C, Superboy, the George Reeves TV show, and some of the comics.

I also have to thank the HIMYM LoveJournal community (yes, we've renamed it because it's so full of love) for really getting me to write fic more often and to get involved in their legendary awesomeness. The people who have been most influential in this know who they are, and I love them dearly.

"Princess and the Frog" captured my imagination at the tail end of 2009, and I'm glad to ring in the new decade with all of the amazing people in this fandom and those in the ones I've held so closely in my heart for the past ten years, old and new.
