I'm a middle-aged, professional writer of non-fiction and would-be professional writer of fiction who also writes Harry Potter fanfiction just for fun.
I’m a proud member of the Harry Potter Old Lady Smut Brigade, which means I’m most interested in the older female characters in the Harry Potter saga, particularly Minerva McGonagall.
If I had received my Hogwarts letter back in nineteen-mumble-mumble, I would most likely have been sorted into Ravenclaw, or so everyone tells me, probably because I’m a geeky data-freak (my Real Life™ requires me to read piles of medical journal articles.) I, however, think I’d feel right at home in Hufflepuff too, so I consider myself a Ravenpuff.
The fics I write may contain adult themes, and I will always warn for non-con, graphic violence, bestiality, incest, or underage sex. I don't warn for homosexual relationships or sex, or for threesomes/moresomes, unless they contain one of the aforementioned elements.

I maintain a master list of (mostly Minerva-centric) recs at Diigo.

Goodness. I think there is a lot of truth here, and who can more likely be called frightened soldiers than the children of Hogwarts on the eve of battle?

Thanks. I can't imagine what it would be like to know you were about to go into battle.

'' How can a man die better, than facing fearfull odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods.'' a MAN not a child, poor Minerva they were all children, fighting because the adults were hiding under the bed, waiting for Voldermort to die of old age.

So true.That's maybe the most horrifying thing in this whole "children's book series."
So true and so very chilling. And so very Minerva.
