Some Excerpts

I started out a role player with a fascination for Severus Snape. In fact, that's who I played for years and years. It wasn't until I started playing Draco that I really got into writing fanfiction, much of that because of frustration over thwarted plot arcs in RP that just didn't work out the way that I'd wanted them to.

[Favorite story she's written:] Do you have a favorite child? I have a set of stories that I don't think are awful and some that I think are terrible, but the kids seem to enjoy them. Gay Aurors was the most fun to write. That and Change My World. Knives Out, Slut and Doll Parts were the most draining, but I consider them worthwhile.

Draco and Harry are rather easy for me to write. They've flowed and developed easily from role play. Snape didn't make the jump really. But I cannot, for the life of me, wrap my head around Remus Lupin. Every book he was a bigger mystery than he was the last book and now he's dead so I gave up completely.

[Describe fandom in five words:] Crazy, supportive, perverse, competitive, well-meaning.
