By this time I'd found ff.net and that is when I discovered the beauty and genius of bookmarks!. Seriously, it was the bookmark/favorite option that enabled me to read as many fics as my little heart desired. Sadly, as soon as I read a fic, I removed it from my list. This makes me so very sad :-(

I think I began my LJ in the fall of 2003.

It was a month or two after my ff.net discovery and after I'd begun writing my first fan fic that I discovered what slash was. I began wondering what it would be like for Snape and Harry to be in a relationship, but it seemed SO WRONG! One day I decided to take a chance and see for myself what people were doing with Snape and Harry. My first reading of a slash fic was actually a Snape/Lupin, but I'm assuming it did very little for me. The Snape/Harry won me over immediately.

After devouring ff.net I searched the web for fan fic and discovered the best fan fic ever written, If You Are Prepared! To date, that is my best fan fic discovery ever. Then I found the original Walking the Plank ... Best fanfic site ever!

I eventually started reading and writing Harry/Draco and loved those two together!

I've pretty much ceased being an active participant in the HP fandom, but I'll never close that door completely.
