Aranxta is a website owner and fanfiction author in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Harry Potter fandoms.

Aranxta had a GeoCities website called The Kingdom of the Blind, which was online until GeoCities's closure in 2009. The Kingdom of the Blind included character shrines for The Hunchback of Notre Dame's Claude Frollo ("The Fireplace") and for Harry Potter's Professor Quirrell ("The Cult of (Saint) Quirrell").

She was also "honorary co-founder" of the HoND site Frollozone[1] and was active at the hond LiveJournal community.

Fandom History

HoND is what pulled me onto the Internet for the first time in 1996. I have been a fan of the novel and of Frollo since I read it in high school, and have been a fan of Disney's adaptation of HoND, specifically of their version of Frollo, since 1996. I became a cofounder of The Frollozone (also known as The Frollo Zone and the FrolloZone) in 1997. I am the originator and first author of Frollo fiction. I also gave unto the world the idea of Frollo as sadist, which is explored in my Frollo fiction, but not as fully as I'd like; I may come back in future and explore the darker side of Frollo more fully.

[...] Since I actually had a question about it asked to me by an acquaintance in real life, Aranxta Borja Tallón is not my real name. It's simply the name of my first (and best known) Frollo fanfic character, and is also the handle by which most people online know me.

She has also discussed writing Harry Potter fanfiction, specifically a Snape/Quirrell story, but it may have never been posted online.[3][4]
