GatewayGirl is a Harry Potter fanfic writer best known for her 2003–2004 Severitus epic Blood Magic.
Fandom History
GatewayGirl's first HP fic was the one-shot "The Interview" in early 2003, followed by the Harry/Draco novel Snakes and Lions. She has also written Robin of Sherwood fic.[1]
She writes of choosing the pseud "GatewayGirl" for her HP fic:
The name has _nothing_ to do with Harry Potter. A Gateway Girl is a girl who talks in science classes, causing other girls to talk in science classes. (That's really simplified, of course. See Dr. Vicka Corey's paper at http://www.andor.org/diss/physics.txt.) How did I end up using it? I was posting, very late at night, on a bulletin board that required me to be registered with a unique ID. After a dozen attempts to use something reasonable, I typed in GatewayGirl. That probably would have been that, but I posted "The Interview" on the same board, so it made sense to use the same name I put it on fanfiction.net, so I used it for "Snakes and Lions". Now I'm kind of stuck with it.[2]
