mariannelee, who puts up with my strange word order problems, my early exclamation point abuse, and my endless questions of, "Is this supposed to be capitalized? Do you think this sounds silly? Is this too obtuse?"
I started writing fanfic in...hmm...2000? And I officially "joined" the online fandom, and began writing HP fanfiction, in November 2003. I went unbeta'ed for a very long time. I found someone who seemed like a perfect fit, but she abruptly became unavailable. Marianne responded to my whining by graciously becoming my beta and combing over sixty chapters of tLS earlier this year. She's awesome! I've definitely learned from her, and I feel much better about putting things out in the public eye because I know she's watching over my fic just as closely---or even closer!---than I am.
*hugs* to my sweet beta! Long may her ink run red.
