Hello,

20 year old male from Hobart, Australia. I spend my time studying at university here and the summers with my family in Canberra. First got into fanfiction in late 2006 and have been hooked ever since. Have yet to try out writing anything original as I am of the firm belief that I can't write (hence I'm studying a degree in business), but am more then happy to be a BETA if anyone requires. Other interests include computer games and following my favourite football team, Essendon, go the Dons!

Just incase anyone is interested, my pet hates in fanfiction are; stories that have half a story underneath in the form of author responses to questions etc, bad grammer and slash. I have nothing against homosexuals, but reading slashy stories just really doesn't work for me.

On the opposite side, my favourite pairings are Harry/Slytherin Girl, and by this I mean stories where he is able to achieve independence through marriage or cunning. Preferably Girl!Blaise or Black Sister (Narcissa is my fav). I don't mind Harry/Ginny so long as Ginny is an independent character that acts mischievous (in a slytherin or even fun loving Fred/George kind of way) and has an agenda of her own. My least favourite character is Ron, I think he is a jealous, idiotic moron who couldn't operate cutlery if it bit him. HPB was my least favourite story and I believe that the series should have gone along with Harry finally getting independence from Dumbledoor through either a slytherin romance (partner ect) or through some sort of action that would justify the sorting hats comments that 'slytherin will make you great'.

Cheers,

Will
