I never knew fanfiction existed until after reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when I became completely obsessed with Snape and went looking for more of him online. I fell into fanfiction and have been happily drowning in it ever since.

About myself - I am:
American, of Scottish, English, and German descent
Forty-Something
Single, with 6 cats, 5 dogs, and 2 horses
A young-adult librarian who loves fantasy, although my all-time favorite book is Jane Eyre

I have to tell you I own a Prius (hybrid gas-electric car) and I love it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a car.

Fandoms:
Harry Potter - I love Severus Snape and am always looking for good Snape-centric fics. I especially like angst, and JKR has given us many
hints with which to play with.
Phantom of the Opera - I went to see the musical last January (read the book first, of course) and came away with another obsession. Kay's
book Phantom is also wonderful. The movie was great, but I prefer stories that are not Gerik's. I feel he needs to be truely deformed in order
for the angst to be believable. Slightly scarred on one side and devastatingly handsome on the other just doesn't cut it. And of course, EC all
the way!

My fic - Through the Flames Comes Destiny's Child
This is my first ever fanfic. My main objective with this is to see if I have any talent at all. Sometimes, I think that I do; other times though, after reading such great works by Whitehound, Caeria, and Cecelle, I just feel dispair that I could never be that talented or creative with words. But, as they say, here goes nothing. I will have an OFC (and other minor original characters) - mainly to see if I can write them well and believably. Please read and review and let me know that you think. (in a nice way, please) Thanks in advance!
