morrigan was an early Harry Potter fan who wrote fanfiction in early 2000, before the publication of Goblet of Fire.
She is best known for the story "Draco's Days of Darkness", one of the earliest Draco/Hermione fics[1] and the inspiration for Cassandra Claire's Draco Dormiens (the first of the famous Draco Trilogy).[2]
morrigan was active on Harry Potter mailing lists including HPforGrownups[3] and ParadigmOfUncertainty. She was listed on HPFGU's Fanfiction Database, compiled by Neil Ward in January 2001, with the description: "Lots of beautiful writing; humour and Draco. 'Slytherins are Sexier' and 'The Other Side' are both excellent."[4] Flourish included her on their list of Some Notable Oldies in the Harry Potter fandom.
morrigan is also a Discworld fan, and co-wrote lyrics to the "The Hedgehog Song" with NS and Peeves is Peeved. The lyrics are posted at FanFiction.Net and an MP3 was recorded by Peeves is Peeved.
