Caitlyn is a Harry Potter fan writer best known for her Harry/Ginny stories. She was an administrator at Gryffindor Tower and was involved in a number of other Harry Potter communities.

History with GT

Caitlyn became an administrator (or "Queen") of Gryffindor Tower circa February 2002.[1]

Graphic for the "Caitlyn" result of the Which QoHG are you? quiz.

When Gryffindor Tower closed abruptly in September 2003, Caitlyn did not have internet access and was not involved with (or aware of) the surrounding wank. Fandom Wank reports that "poor Caitlyn showed up a week later not having a clue what had happened."[2] Caitlyn herself asserted:

"I didn't have anything to do with it at all [...] if I had been around, I know I would have been begging them to stay open like I did about a year and a half ago when something else happened and it would have been really awful."[3]

After GT's closure, Caitlyn remained active at The Sugar Quill, Werewolf Registry, and Mischief Managed.[3] She helped Carissa start a Lemony Snicket site, Yeeka.net.
