Tess, also known as TessFawcett, is a Harry Potter fanfiction author.

Most of her fanfiction was written in 2002 and focuses on minor characters. She posted at FictionAlley and FanFiction.Net, but has since deleted her stories from both sites. Her fanfiction is still online the Yahoo! group Angsty Bludgers, which Tess started in February 2002 for updates and discussion of her fanfic.

Tess is best known for Love on the Quidditch Pitch, which was updated until 2007 but remains an abandoned WIP. It tells the story of a seven-day 1953 professional Quidditch match mentioned in the Comic Relief book Quidditch Through the Ages.

Tess was one of nine "HP Muses" who shared the Yahoo! group Pierian Springs.

Bio

From Tess's FanFiction.Net profile, circa 2002:

I am a student; I write mostly Harry Potter fanfiction. I belong to a number of [SCUSA] ships, some very odd, on FictionAlley, which I won't bother to list here.

I'm at work on about five billion projects at once, as always. More information can probably be found at my LiveJournal ( it's certainly more frequently updated! I've also recently set up a Yahoo group (Angsty Bludgers) to discuss my work, so I can easily be reached there.

• Between Shadow And Blinding Flame. "It had been so many years... The Ministry regrets to inform you... I love him, I love him, ran the patter of her lips.

Typical Ravenclaw, Arabella, Miss Arabella Eysell with her head in a book... Who had Snape told?... There's rosemary, that's for remembrance... Arabella Figg prepares to teach at Hogwarts."
