(A little bit) About Me

Like most people on here, I've been writing "fanfiction" in my head all of my life, but didn't know that there was a name for it... or that other people did it too. I discovered internet-based fanfiction during the break between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, and went on to write some of my own stories at the Sugar Quill. Years later, I'm still an active participant in most things HP, but have expanded my horizons to include multiple other fandoms as well. Real!Life frequently tears me away from fanfiction, but I do my best to remain consistent with stories, reviews, and review responses. While I make an effort to personally respond to every review I receive, that doesn't always happen; if you left me a review that I didn't respond to, allow me to take this moment to thank you and to extend my apologies. I treasure every piece of feedback that I get, and constructive criticism in particular helps to make me a better writer. (Which, in turn, means better stories for you to read!)

I'm mainly on AO3 these days—I'm Phosphorescent there too—and I'm also on tumblr as phosphorescent-naidheachd. If you ever want to chat, feel free to send me a PM; I don't bite... much. ;-)

Finally, since learning and unlearning are a lifelong process, when I inevitably write something ignorant, offensive, and/or incorrect, please feel free to call me out on it. I genuinely appreciate the correction and will always do my best not to repeat my mistakes.

I like: hot black tea, roller coasters, theatre, music, crisp autumnal days, matzo ball soup, thunder and lightning storms, folklore, and history.

When it comes to fanfiction, I'm particularly fond of: time travel AUs, dimension travel AUs, canon divergence AUs, UST, outside PoVs, banter, found families, missing moments/gap-fillers, and narratives that acknowledge the importance of individuals and their choices.
