What does my pen name mean?
Steppenwoelfin means "(female) wolf of the steppes" - a reference to Hermann Hesse's "Der Steppenwolf", a book about social isolation and finding the way to oneself (and those are only two out of many topics). Since I am a bundle of insanity who values her four walls highly and has a very restless soul, the name suits me wonderfully. The picture on the left is by René Magritte, one of my favourite artists.
As of 6th January 2008:
I am a 27-year-old college graduate with a Master's degree and can't stay away from the keyboard or from my pen and notebook - the last two items accompany me everywhere and are rather battered. I live in Switzerland but am originally Indian. I am a bundle of insanity with a misguidingly innocent and girlish appearance including a pair of enormous soulful eyes :-) However, I am also equipped with a shockingly sarcastic tongue and repertoire of caustic Snape-ish comments which keep annoying people at bay...But usually, I prefer solving things the polite way, so don't worry. As long as there are no flames!! And, of course, I have a definitely un-innocent mind...
I started with writing by submitting my stuff on fanfiction.net. That was six years ago. Then, after about two years of writing fan fiction, I completely abandoned this account and established myself on fictionpress.com, where I have posted and still post mainly short stories and poetry. But after reading all the Harry Potter books, one after the other, a few weeks ago, the fan fiction bug bit me again...and I decided to come back here and post Snarry stories. I also started a Snarry blog in November 2007; you can view it here.
If you want to check out my original fiction (warning: most of it is angsty and reeks of disillusionment), you can find it here.
