Name: Eliska Suchankova

Age: 23

Sex: Female

Country: Czech Republic

School: Currently I’m in my third year of university, studying English and History for teachers.

Hobbies: Tennis (both watching and playing it; I don’t have a favourite player at the moment, but until he retired, it used to be Alberto Berasategui ... such a sweetheart he was, too); reading; writing; TV (especially flipping through music channels); computer games; surfing the net; English.

Other interests = manias: Harry Potter, where my favourite character is definitely Severus Snape. I must say I’m absolutely obsessed with that man, and if it hadn’t been for him, I’m sure I’d never have come across fanfiction.net, let alone become its member.

I also like Hermione Granger (making the SS/HG pairing my favourite), Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Remus Lupin, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley and the Weasley twins. I don’t really like Harry Potter himself, especially not after reading Book 5 where I think he behaved like a spoiled prat, but I do have to admit that in the sixth book he has matured quite a bit, so that he was actually bearable.

Music (favourite song/s in brackets): Rammstein (I like too many of their songs to name them); Marilyn Manson (how can anybody call him ugly when he’s just sooo sexy?) and everything to do with him (Speed of Pain, The Golden Age of Grotesque, Coma White); Eminem (The Way I Am, Lose Yourself, Kim); Franz Ferdinand (Come on Home, The Dark of the Matinee, Walk Away); Keane (Somewhere Only We Know); The Beatles (Sexy Sadie); Therion (Ljusalfheim, Raven of Dispersion, Clavicula Nox); Placebo (Post Blue; One of a Kind); Muse (Invincible; Escape); The Rasmus (Liquid; Sail Away; Time to Burn) ... and a million other songs from various artists (e.g. Alan Rickman’s Intelligence).

Movies: Harry Potter; The Lord of the Rings; The Phantom of the Opera; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; The Da Vinci Code; Love Actually; Sense and Sensibility (I wonder why? Snape’s my number one, but Colonel Brandon definitely isn’t too far behind...); Emma; Dogma; The Hound of the Baskervilles; Sixth Sense; Home Alone; Help!; Bean; Johnny English; Mrs. Doubtfire; Austin Powers; Flatliners; Duel ... and, of course, countless Czech movies.

Books (favourite book in brackets): Harry Potter (The Prisoner of Azkaban); The Lord of the Rings; Hobbit; Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice); Agatha Christie (Towards Zero, Ten Little Niggers); Sherlock Holmes (The Hound of the Baskervilles); Stephen King (The Green Mile), Terry Pratchett (Light Fantastic).

Computer Games: Heroes of Might and Magic; Diablo; No One Lives Forever; Age of Empires; Harry Potter.
