I always feel extremely strange when I'm writing these things, having never really been all that good at talking about myself. In any case, here are the basics: I'm a 41-year-old Canadian who started reading the Harry Potter books about twenty years (!) ago just to see what all the fuss was about. I wrote my first fanfic about a year later, and I've been semi-active in the fandom ever since. I am very musical; I play the bagpipes, I've played the violin since I was about nine years old and I sing with two choirs (a community choir I've been singing with since 1997 and a church choir I've been singing with since late 2008). Writing is also one of my many obsessions, and (much to my relief) the monstrous case of writer's block which grabbed me for a couple of years seems to be gradually letting go. Even so, should I submit any chaptered fics here, it's reasonable to assume that the updates will be pretty far apart even if they're actually finished before I start posting. It's not intentional; I'm just, at times, a little forgetful.

What a great idea, Getting confused even after the other Riddle's death. and calling JKR on her 'convenient' middle name for Tom Riddle. How amusing! And you mentioned him in the tent revival! not the other Tom Riddle, but mad lord whatsis. Hooray! You are so funny!

Response from Pennfana (Author of A Change of Name)

When I write a humour fic, I try to make myself laugh, and I hope that other people might enjoy the result. I'm glad that it worked, in this case. "Mad Lord Nolvroot", as I think I said in my notes at the end of "The Dark Revival", was just too strange a name to not use again. It seemed to fit the tone of that story, so I thought it was worth including there.Thank you for reviewing.

Yay! Such a cute premise and you have executed it so perfectly. And can I just say that "Mad Lord Nolvroot" is deeply, inherently funny.

*still giggling to self*

Response from Pennfana (Author of A Change of Name)

Thanks. When I write humour pieces I try to do what Helen Fielding did when she wrote Bridget Jones' Diary—I try to make myself laugh. Generally speaking, I've gotten the best responses from readers when I've done exactly that, though sometimes I hear that they've laughed at things that hadn't struck me as funny when I wrote.

Thanks for your review.

*snigger* It's almost enough to make you want to overturn the Ministry :D

Response from Pennfana (Author of A Change of Name)

That's the sort of thing that bureaucrats seem to thrive on, all right. Thanks for your review!

That's very close to being the best compliment I've ever received for one of my humour pieces. Thanks!
