Author has written 27 stories for Harry Potter.

Joined by chance fandom after HBP, I discovered, unexpected, a wonderful bunch of tales and after some time I too dared to start some writings... despite the fact that English is not my first language.

Bookworm AND teacher can't help but love HG SS stories, which after DH I find to be, even more than before it, the most gratifying to be read and to be written.

Two fan fiction have been the milestones of my love for this relationship, and they aren't romance: True colors by Elephas (I still cry every time I re read it) and Who Lives in Disguise by Duj. Every time I think to HBP the moment where Snape meets Hermione and Luna at the end of the book is in my mind and in my heart that written by Duj, I can't anymore feel the original story without that heartbreaking scene.

And that rhyme from the riddle of the Sphinx, well... all that poem has inspired my recent drabble series, The Last Thing to Mend.

Many insightful comments or explanations about everything related to Snape I've read in the wonderful stories by Whitehound and in her essays, comments and website. What she does is a gift to everyone that cares for this character, and it's very helpful for those who, like me, love canon-compatible (even if EWE, of course) stories.

After DH's release I thought that the AU scenario of which I wrote in my first tales, which are almost all related, had become completely impossible, because the role of Headmaster, that to me had seemed a way to give him the respect and the importance that he deserved, surely couldn't have been endured anymore by Snape after that awful last year.
I begun to cope with that fact writing a few fourth-wall drabbles where the characters lived an indipendent life; then, some months later, I'm pleased to say that, through my three last fan fiction and thanks to the reading of many hopeful and wonderful stories (that are listed among my favorites) I've put things where they were before July 2007, and that they make sense again, to me.

Other tales followed, some happy and some sad, some for a good laugh and some for a good cry, as life goes.

Just one more time, Forever, Homecoming and Giving Hostages to Fortune form my last series since I like to go on in these alternative universes and to see what happens next...

I’ve recently started a Live Journal, where I’ll try to say more about good readings, favourites & c, as a reminder to me and to everyone who is interested.

Rosemary is for remembrance and Snape, together with my memories, is even more the unforgettable hero that inspires my writings.
