Who is your favorite HP character...and why?

The Snape love interest characteristics entry was pretty thought-provoking. I really enjoyed all of the comments.

So I'm going to annoy you all further...

Who is your favorite HP character, and why? I'd love to hear the details, from the small to the large. Why did this character capture your interest? What made you first want to read/see/write/draw/etc. him/her outside of the books? What was the Point of No Return for you (when you realized you were truly hooked)?

I'll go first...

Severus Snape, as if anyone on this flist didn't know.

The first time I noticed him was

bookwench2096's fault. I had read a couple of the books and wasn't really into them that much, but then she pointed out Snape's...appeal. I was still unconvinced, but at the time we were exchanging smutty little stories we called "weasels," so I sent her a quick weasel featuring Snape and an OFC. (He was convinced she was hiding something in her robes...heh.) After I wrote it and sent it off, I thought that would be it, but somehow he began to curl around my subconscious, and pretty soon I was very interested in his character.

I reached the Point of No Return only after I began to read fanfic. I read a story on ffnet somewhere, and it wasn't that great, but there was something about him that just pulled me in. The dark eyes, the bitterness, the dry wit...all of the little things that sometimes were barely in canon were brought out in fanon, and I really became completely entranced with him after reading different authors' stylized versions of him.

I wanted to write him myself after reading so many stories; I really thought I might have something to offer, and I wanted to explore blood magic as well, and that ended up being a jumping-off point for me. I reread the books in order to prepare myself, and found that in reading so much fanfic I had somehow developed a rather distorted view of him, and I was very relieved that I reread them, because it helped me develop my own version of Snape. I didn't want him to be a walking, talking fanon cliché.

I think it was

switchknife, though, who finally and incontrovertibly sealed my fate. Up until I read knife's work, I had been...well...content with the ffnet stories. Once I found knife's stories, it opened up an entire new world of reading. Through knife and LJ I found many new, absolutely amazing authors who had written Snape-centric stories, and that was it. In their capable hands he became even more mesmerizing. One of the things I love best about him is that he is so well-armored; I adore stories in which he's made vulnerable, where he has to let someone help him, or worse, let someone in. His tightly-wound control is absolutely fascinating to me. I want to see the passion that I know is underneath.

So tell me about your character journey! I'd love to hear about which characters you love, and how it all happened.

I have a few - ever since Sirius died, I haven't had a single character to be totally devoted to. But Sirius was the first.

I can't really remember very well how it happened. I'd read Books 1 and 2, and enjoyed them very much - but it was Book 3, and Sirius in particular, who sealed my fate as massively obsessed Harry Potter fan. I think it was the angst that really appealed - the fact that he'd suffered so much for a crime he didn't commit. But I also really loved him in Book 4 - his advice to Harry, his caring - all while being in hiding - well, I really fell in love with him then. I remember him saying a few really wise things, like "If you want to get the measure of a man, look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equalks," or somwthing like that.

Of course, Book 5 had to come along and ruin it all - first by making Sirius a lot more crazy than before, second by making him contradict his own words in Book 4 by mistreating Kreacher, and finally, by killing him off completely! Granted, the first two make sense from a psychological point of view, but I like heroic Sirius a lot better than screwed-up-trapped-Sirius.

Re-reading the books, I found myself drawn a lot more to Lupin in Book 3. He's the sort of teacher I wish I'd had more of. And I don't care what the fandom says, I loved the Remus/Tonks thing at the end of Book 6. It was perfect, and it made perfect sense, and I loved the fact that for once, something good was happening to one of my favourite characters! I can totally see Tonks falling in love with him, and I can see him pushing her away because he thinks he's too old/too hairy/too screwed up (none of which outweighs the fact that he's kind, gentle and down-to-earth.)

I also liked Snape - the dry wit, his general nastiness, and the fact that he wasn't an obvious good or evil character all made him very interesting. I was really disappointed in Book 6, though I still hope that maybe, just maybe he was on Dumbledore's side all along. I really want Dumbledore to be right about him.

And finally, I think an honourable mention should go to Hermione. She started out as a swot, but as the books went along, I really started admiring her cool logic, her ability to be really cutting when she wants to, and the fact that for the most part, she's a good deal more level-headed and rational than Harry and Ron. Even the way she went out with McLaggen just to piss off Ron was a very deliberate, rational decision. I love her more and more as the books go on.

Sirius Black hauled you in?! Wow! I had no idea!

I liked Sirius in GoF, I thought he was a really interesting character, smart, competent, and cool. I was a bit surprised at how quickly he went from knife-wielding psycho to substitute father figure in PoA, but by the time I read GoF, I thought, hey, he's not bad! He's pretty interesting, and what a sad story.

And then OotP really shocked me, just like you. I was quite astonished by the switch from in control adult to out of control teenager in terms of his behavior.

Y'know, I've really started to adore Remus. He has that naughty bit of sly humor, and he's just become more and more awesome as I read fanfiction.

After I read book six, I spent an entire week moping about, completely upset. One of my RL friends was stunned that I'd care so much; and honestly, I was a bit taken aback as well, but I think that I had spent so much time reading Snape and trying to get under his skin that when he killed Dumbledore I nearly had a heart attack because I just couldn't imagine it. I mean, I knew that Dumbledore was going to die in book six, I was absolutely convinced of it long before, but I had no clue that Snape would kill him.

I diverge on your opinion of Hermione, however. She becomes more and more irritating to me with each new book, and I just can't deal with her that well. She's done a lot of awful things to get to the ends she requires, and it's really turned me off in some ways. I mean, I understand that my view might be warped, but the blackmail thing in GoF really shocked me.

I think Remus as a character kind of reflects what Remus would be like as a real person: he doesn't jump out at you straight away as someone particularly interesting or special. It's only when you get to know him better, or have a think about him, (or reread the book!) that you start to notice all the great qualities he has.

I kinda like the fact that Hermione appears all goody-goody, but she can be really quite nasty when she feels it's warranted. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side. :)

Thinking about it, I don't normally think of Harry himself as a "favourite character"; in my mind, he's not so much a character as the point of the whole series. But if I didn't like him, I wouldn't read the books no matter how interesting I found the other characters (which is why I gave up watching Buffy after a while). So I should list Harry first - he's a fundamentally good kid doing his best in some pretty bad situations.

After him, though, I find the generation above his fascinating. Snape was really the one who made me sit and take notice, from his first appearance in the first book. He may as well have a troupe of backup dancers and a flashing neon light saying "I'VE GOT ISSUES!" And then from PoA on, we have the Marauders as well, who add to Snape and are interesting in their own right (and who have in Lupin, unlike Snape, a character who you'd want to meet - I suppose I'd also like to meet Sirius, but I really don't think I'd be his type!). Ultimately, I find it interesting that Harry - and the reader - knows so much more about his father's contemporaries than about his own.

Of course Neville makes me go "ahhh", and I must confess a slight weakness for Lucius. I love a two-dimensional, moustache-twirling villain!

For me, Harry is only interesting in the books. I really don't care for him in fanfic, except the odd adult!Harry/Snape story. Otherwise, I never bother reading anything with him as a main character.

I love Snape so very much, though at first I didn't really pay much attention to him, except to think, wow, he's a meanie. After more reading and fanfic I realized that he was a highly controlled and completely messed up meanie, and then he became much more fascinating.

Neville doesn't interest me that much, but Lucius...yum! I love the glimpse we get of him lecturing Draco while Harry is watching (unseen) in Borgin and Burke's. He is another delicious character.

Ah, see, I think I'm missing the "fanfic" gene - I'm not very interested in it at all. My reactions only come to from the characters in the books themselves. Within them, what I love are those glimpses or characters when they're not dealing directly with Harry, which show just how limited Harry's/our understanding is - Lucius in Borgin & Burke's, Snape's reaction to Ginny being taken into the Chamber, etc. I think my favourite scene in all of the books is in PoA when Snape confiscates the map - the conversation he has with Lupin has a whole other world within it.

I'm a huge sucker for the whole, "Look they're human!" thing. I liked Harry more after OOTP. I never gave James Potter a second thought, in fact he bored me to tears, until OOTP. He's an asshole, yay! Now I love him.

Sirius both interested me and also pissed me off in OOTP.

Before OOTP, I liked the bad guys the most. They were just all cool and shit.

All through OOTP, and then in HBP, I've just loved Harry. Before that, he was almost too nice or something. Now he's great.

I love the idea that no one here is a perfect whitehat or blackhat. There is a battle inside everyone.

Harry always annoys me in fanfic. While reading the books, though, I'm not nearly as irritated, except for OotP. HBP went a LONG way toward making Harry and Dumbledore more interesting characters (at least for me).

I love that everyone has something going on, something that tips them one way or the other. Except I'm a little sad about some of the background about Voldemort. I'm not happy that he was just ebil all the time. (I love the Gaunt family! I can't believe some of the stuff JKR has managed to fit in the books, honestly, other "children's" authors hardly ever do this sort of thing, I think.)

I liked the bad guys a lot before OotP, until the Keystone Spectacular at the Ministry.

That would have to be the Weasly Family.
If there is one thing that really makes the whole wizarding world seem believable, it's this middle-class family that will risk all to protect Harry and do the right thing, whatever the cost.

I also have slowly become a fan of Nevill Longbottom.

Hmm. The Weasleys, for me, are a bit grating. Especially Molly. I do like her character, in principle, but I'm a bit like Snape in that the excessive suffocating mothering she exhibits does kind of make me react "ick!" But that's just me.

I'm happy that she has Neville in the books, and I'm glad that she shows him as being pretty much indomitable. I like him for that.

Harry Harry Harry! I love the angsty little guy. I think he just reminds me of myself at that age - kind of clueless but ultimately well-meaning, outraged at the lack of fairness in the world... I am, as I'm sure you know, a Dumbledore hater, so my level of unhappiness on Harry's behalf at how he was treated by the old man knows no bounds - some people didn't like caps-lock Harry, whereas I was waiting for him to finally grow a backbone much earlier (of course, then in HBP he went back to being "Dumbledore's Man" which irritated the fuck out of me).

Hermione reminds me of myself, too, but not in a way that I'm very happy about. :(

I'm just not into Harry in fanfiction, but when I read the books that kind of goes away, and I find myself actually interested in his story. I always was angry with Dumbledore, until HBP, which went a long way toward redeeming him in my eyes, but still, the past bothers me. Anyway, I was very surprised how quickly Harry went to being Dumbledore's Man. I expected a bit more resistance there.

::giggle:: "angsty little guy" - that's just adorable!

Well, after I read HBP, I HAD to write the scene where Pansy finds out about Draco's secret. I was completely hooked on writing Pansy from the first few paragraphs. There's a little bit to go by in canon, but I get to make up the rest.

So, I suppose my favourite character is Pansy with Draco (with Pansy) and Snape tied for second.

Very interesting! I'm always fascinated by people who are into the more uncommon characters. I have to say, I've met very few people in the HP fandom who are into Pansy.

It must be very freeing, as you say, to have such an open-ended character, where you can conjecture about her background, likes, dislikes...and yet she's a canon character. Cool!

Though as to why...that's a hard thing to answer. I don't honestly remember if I liked him right away upon reading the books, which I did 1-4 all at once, and then the next two as they came out. But I got into the fandom because I suddenly got it into my head I wanted to read H/D and figured it must be out there--so I must have liked Draco then.

Once I started talking about him I think I probably realized I liked him more than most people, or saw him differently than many people, and he wound up just really drawing me in as a character even when I thought he was underwritten.

I've often tried to figure out why I like him, since he's not the type of character I usually like, but I think it's that he seems so loudly asking for attention and affection in a way I wouldn't, and also even pre-HBP he always seemed to clearly be a bully who wasn't really comfortable in that role. I mean, he had issues. It's not he seemed like something good instead of bad, it was just I always got the impression he was (as much as the word sounds wrong) misunderstood. Like what Harry and others thought drove him never seemed to be what did, and that was interesting--he was potentially interesting. And there were times in canon that I just felt affectionately towards him when he had his heart on his sleeve.:-)

For me, the moment where I felt something more for Draco was the scene in Borgin & Burke's, where Lucius is berating him about his marks at school. I was pretty happy about that scene when I did my first re-read; I thought it showed that the Malfoys were exactly what I had hoped for: a family. I was scared that JKR would make them cardboard standups, which she has done a little, at least.

With HBP she gave them even more details and emotions, and even though Draco is not my favorite person by far, I felt a lot more...tolerating of his personality.

Ron
Because he's such a boy . Despite being a series about magic and wizards, he stands out for being so average and unexceptional in terms of magical abilities.
It's hard to be the best friend of the hero, and he's perpetually overlooked in school and in his brilliant family, so I find his reactions, insecurities, and flaws the most realistic and endearing.

He also reacts so strongly, sometimes, such as when Harry's name pops out of the Goblet of Fire. I really loved his reaction to that, which made me think, oh yes, that's right, he's young, and he's brave, but he still has that insecurity that comes from having such a big family with such larger-than-life brothers.

Well, my favorite character to write is Draco, and I think it's because I can make him work in just about any situation. Also, it's easy to get into his character for me. He's one of those characters that can say what he thinks--and therefore, whatever the writer wants him to think, he can say. He can be withdrawn and snarky, he can be an absolute slut and proposition Harry or Ron, he can be a drama queen diva and throw a flaming hissy fit, and hardly anyone is going to look at any of that and claim that it's out of character. In our everyday RLs, we can't get away with acting like that or talking like that, but this character can. This makes him enormously fun to work with.

In the books, however, I think my favorite characters would be Luna, the twins, and Snape. They crack me up ;D

Yes, that's so true, Draco has a wide palette of emotions to work from because he's not fleshed out that much in canon. Even better, we've seen in HBP that he does have feelings, so that's an added layer to work from.

He's certainly not my favorite character, but I can see why people would want to write him. It must be rather fun.

Hermione, without a doubt. i saw the first movie (yes, before i read the books - i know, i'm horrible) & that scene leaving flitwick's class where ron mocks her just cemented it for me - i realised, "wow, she's me!" and as the books have progressed, i still see myself in almost everything she does.

Wow! I'm not a Hermione fan, you see, so this is interesting to me. I definitely have had some Hermione-like moments in my life, but overall, she bothers me, because I'm a bit squeamish about some of the things she's done in the books.

I do like how supportive she is of her friends, though.

I think I had a crush on Professor Lupin almost from the minute we met him in PoA -- he just seemed so kind in an utterly unfussy, unflashy way, and cheerful in the face of incredible hardship, and yet he had a wicked sense of humor and just enough of a steely streak to keep him from being too saintly. I didn't automatically think "I want to see more of this character," though. I took it for granted until OotP came out that we weren't getting any more, because none of the DADA teachers from previous years had ever reappeared, so it wasn't worth thinking about. OotP was the book that really made me impatient for more Lupin, more Marauder-era backstory, more everything. All of a sudden Harry's world was darker and more complicated, and the pieces were fitting together in unexpected ways, and I was dying to find out where it was all going. I was also dying to talk about the book, so once the initial buzz of excitement had worn off, I started seeking out fan sites, and that's how I learned about fanfic and all its possibilities.

I read just about everything Remus-centric I could find for the first few weeks, but I learned fairly quickly that a) not all of it was good; b) much of it was slash, and while some of it was very well-written, I just don't like contemplating the prospect that my literary crushes might be gay. So I became more selective in my reading, and I also figured out that if I wanted there to be more of the kind of stories I wanted to read out there, I was going to have to write them ... so I did.

HBP did change how I read the character to some extent, but I fell in love with him all over again thanks to the "furry little problem" scene and also the way he takes the time to assure Hermione and McGonagall that Dumbledore's death isn't their fault, as shattered as he is.

Y'know, I didn't really notice Remus that much, until PoA. After I saw PoA I fell in love with David's portrayal of Remus. He did such a great job, just as you say. On rereads I found that I liked the character more and more, and I've become very enamored of him lately. He's smart and sly, and everything you say rings so true!

And I agree about HBP. His kindness shines through.

Here from the D_S. :)

I've got two favourite characters that I like for their own reasons: Harry and Draco.

In most of the books I read or the movies/TV shows I see, I don't like the main character, the one the story/plot revolves around; but, when I started reading HP, I quickly and easily identified with Harry.

My personality and character is a lot like his. I'm idealistic about people and situations, (usually) optimistic, and generally cheery, although I sometimes get into funks that can last days or weeks. I like people, but I need my own space to think about things, and I'm usually very private about my thoughts/feelings, even with those I'm close to--mostly because I don't want to concern or bother them. I follow the rules most of the time, but sometimes I break them in order to do what I feel is right or necessary. I have huge trust issues and self-esteem issues connected to that.

It's kind of eerie, really, but because I'm so similar to him, I can almost imagine myself in his place. Which is tres cool, haha. :)

And Draco?

I can't pinpoint why I like him, to be honest. There's just something about him that draws me in. I feel like there's a lot about him left unexplored by JKR.

/rambling. :D

Oh, I missed your second question!

I think I did an internet search for something ... ugh, I can't remember what, but that search led me to this and then to that, and then I suddenly stumbled on Harry/Draco slash and I was absolutely blown away. I could have my two favourite characters in one fic, doing very naughty things to each other! Woohoo! :)

It was while I was scanning that website for new fics or new updates, that a huge plotbunny landed on me. It was an original concept, as I hadn't seen any fic with this in it, and I thought I could write it since, by that point, I had read/found a lot of mediocre fic. I knew I could write better than some of the people who were alread, and I knew that my concept was original, so I just went ahead with it. :) From there, other plotbunnies kept finding and bugging me.

I knew I was really hooked however, when I started finding ways to apply every-day, ordinary things to fics. I'd hear a song on the radio and think, "Oh, that'd be a great H/D fic", or I'd see something on TV and imagine H/D in that situation. Pathetic, eh? Lol. :)

So you identify with Harry, because he's so similar to you? Very interesting! I think that's the problem with a lot of super-powered OCs...people just can't relate to characters that powerful who don't have realistic flaws.

That's really funny that an unrelated search led you to H/D slash! Wow! Were you repulsed at first, or were you immediately fascinated?

I do that with music, too. It's all the Snupin writers' fault. They keep mentioning Snupin songs!

Argh! That was me.

Draco. Hands-down.

From the beginning up through HBP, I've just loved him. Yeah- a know he's a little shit but I just do. There's no explaining it. I just like him a lot. It's not because of Tom Felton though, even though he's alright in his own way.

It really interests me when people like Draco so much, because to me, he's just part of the background. I'm not interested in his character very much, because at first he seemed extremely one-dimensional.

After HBP, though, I was wondering what Draco fans thought, because suddenly he had a bit of extra depth.

I think part of the reason he seems one-dimensional for most of the books is we're basically looking at him through Harry's eyes and well- Harry thinks he's an annoying git for the most part. To be honest, I like Harry- but he's not one of my favorites. But that might be my blatant "bad guys" bias showing through. ^_~

Here through the Daily Snitch:

I love Remus! Part of the attraction is how much he reminds me of my husband. (There were times I though JKR was channeling my dear boy. ;-) ) He's a sweet, gentle, polite, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, and unprepossessing guy that I had to take a closer look.

I knew right away that he was a powerful wizard. (He does wandless magic on the train when he deals with the dementor) I also figured out fairly early he was a werewolf (I caught the full moon hints.) He caught my heart though when he took special notice of Neville.

My enjoyment of him only grew throughout OotP and HBP. I love that we have seen how he's grown over the years and that even after great wrongs were done to him, he's able to put it behind him and move on.

I read all sorts of fanfic once I'd gotten through the series, puppy-shipping, RL/SS, RL/HP, RL/FW/GW, RL/OFC, RL/HG, RL/GW, RL/everybody and, of course, RL/NT. McKay's "The Taming of Sirius Black" and "Way of the World" were two of the the best depictions of Remus I'd read.

One of the things I like about Remus is how-well defined JKR has made him. In the gobs of fanfic I've read, Remus is always identifiable as Remus. (I've purposefully shied away from the few that seem to have Evil!Remus.) It's hard to have him be so OOC that he's unrecognizeable, the way I've seen with Snape, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny.

I read tonnes of puppy-shipping and eventually decided I didn't much like it. I'm not fond of the dynamic that appears in most puupy-shipping, except McKay's, "The Taming of Sirius Black." That's the first one I saved to my hard-drive, just in case the world ends, so that I always have a copy of that.

I've read some decent Lupin/OFC. (I like romance novels. I don't mind OCs. The only way for Lupin to have appropriate love interests with most of the women in the books is to wait for them to be adults.
These days, I prefer a Lupin who is straight and after Tonks.

I've been really super interested in Remus lately. I didn't really pay a lot of attention to him for a long time, though I thought he was a neat teacher, and I liked his unflappable nature.

The more I've read, the more I've enjoyed his persona. I really like fanfic writers and how they write him; he seems to be this lovely, strong, smart, sly-humored creation in so many fics.

Y'know, I've tried reading puppy fics before, but I'm just not interested at all. I'm not certain why. I much prefer Snupin.

I prefer Snupin as well. Lupin is one of the few people unruffled by Snape's behavior.

I tried a couple of summers ago to write a fanfic that started out at the end of GoF, when Sirius was sent "to go lie low at Lupin's". I could never quite get the hang of Sirius. He's an incredibly difficult character to write and I've read too many puppy-ship stories that get the dynamic wrong.

The truth is, I love almost all of the characters! I could no more pick a favorite than I could pick a favorite Marx Brother. Separate they are all great, but together they are FABULOUS!

Some not already mentioned: McGonagall for being such a badass; Luna Lovegood, especially her Quidditch commentary in HBP; Fred and George and Lee Jordan; Umbridge, because she is just so sadistically creepy; Tonks - in book five; Viktor Krum - in the books; Stan Shunpike - what's not to love? And so on and so on....

Luna's Quidditch commentary was hilarious! I loved it when she pointed out the clouds.

And Umbridge was a really fascinating character. I know that I talked to a few people who really thought she was Voldemort's through and through, but then I pointed out that there wasn't much canon backing for that, and they were totally surprised. I think she's just a zealot, myself, though I'm usually wrong about HP things.

She's not a Voldemort supporter. And that, ultimately, makes her even creepier. She's on the side of the Good Guys. Which, IMO, is one of the many reasons why JKR is so brilliant.

Ron Weasley, without a doubt. And I know somebody else said it first, but it was exactly what I was going to say: he's such a boy. Sometimes he thinks with his downstairs brain, sometimes he worries too much about his reputation [or lackthereof] and sometimes [okay a lot of the time] he's just really, really oblivious to whatever's going on around him.

He's fretful and he's flawed but he's fun. Harry's all, 'I have to save the world!' and Hermione's all 'I have to go to the library!' and Ron keeps them both grounded, pulling pranks and telling jokes and having hissy fits over nothing in particular. He's passionate - about Quidditch and about friendships - and sometimes he goes about this in entirely the wrong way but that's what keeps the excitment going.

And then beyond all this, he shows his true character by helping Harry, by standing up to the plate [or whatever Quidditch analogies you can think of] and saying, 'Look buddy, I'm scared out of my mind over here, but I'm not letting you do this alone'. Ron is real, and that's why I love him.

...wow.

Can I just say I love your definition of Ron? You bring up so many points I've never thought of. You're absolutely right - Ron brings out the normalcy of two very abnormal characters.

I always remember Harry and Hermione bitching about Snape, and Ron saying sagely, "Poisonous toadstools don't change their spots."

Ron has this remarkable aptitude for the strange truth in the books, and I've always wondered if we'll find out that Ron's right in the end.

Ron is definitely real. Excellent character summary!

1. Hagrid. I feel a bit bad for the poor guy; everyone thinks he's an idiot, but if you ask me, he knows what he's doing. I know he can be more like a big kid at times, that part I don't necessarily like... I like the part of him who is loyal, and actually very wise.

2. Tonks. I can't explain why.

3. Remus. He's just to much fun to try and write, and not easy to figure out by any means.

4. Neville. He's so brave and loyal in his own way.

5. Luna. She's just interesting.

6. Sirius, though mostly because he's so complex. I don't know how much I like him as a person - but as a character, man. He's reckless, but cautious, and a master of tough love. (I truly think he loved Harry and James... as a son-brother and brother.)

I'm not into Hagrid at all in canon; in fact, he drives me crazy.

But Hagrid in fanon, particularly with Snape, is a much more interesting character. I've read many Hagrid fics that I've liked.

I totally agree with you about Remus, too. He's deceptively simple, until you really start looking at him, and he shows hidden depths.

Snape is my favorite as everyone who knows me is aware. :)

I was trying out the first book as an RL friend of mine recommended it to a few of us, and she's not an easy-to-please sort of person. Innocently reading along, I felt sympathy for the poor boy Harry. Then I read the chapter of the first potions class, and most importantly Snape's Speech. That was it; I found a dark, intelligent and compelling character. I'm a sucker for those, and HP has been my main fandom since then.

Four years ago, I decided to see if HP had any fanfiction. Wheeeee!

Dark, intelligent, and compelling? OOohh, yes. A delicious description!

Four years you've been in fandom? Wow!
