About me:

On May 28th of 2002, after a lot of deliberation and thought, I became Ponytail Goddess on fanfiction.net.  Looking back, I can't help but wonder why I chose such a silly name.  Clearly, I never thought I'd grow out of my ponytail phase during my freshmen year of high school.  Oh, how things have changed...

Anyway, I guess I could tell you a few less than interesting facts about myself, such as the fact that I am a music education major or that I live in Illinois, which is known for it's unpredictable weather.  However, that's not too terribly interesting, so I will bore you no longer.

I am here to write a few good fics and my main focus as an author is creativity.  I strive to write intricate fics with highly detailed plots that have not been seen before.  I like tricking people into believing one thing when they should believe another.  I also believe that a story can be satisfying with a less than happy ending.  Not everything in life ends happily, so why should all fics end happily?  Variety is the spice of life, so I'm going to flavor my fics in different ways to please you.

Please enjoy my Harry and Snape works here and do take a moment to check out all of my other works on fanfiction.net.  I think you'll enjoy them if you give them a chance.  Thank you for your time and for supporting my writing! 

08/19/2010:  Hello all!  Thanks for stopping by my profile!  I've had a terribly busy summer, but will try my best to post some new stuff very soon!  Have a good one!

-P.G. 

Current Projects:

Her Secret Obsession-A Sev/Lily pairing with mysterious connotations.  Harry plays a very interesting part as well; please enjoy this time traveling adventure.

Wish Upon a Star-Found on fanfiction.net, Severus wakes up and finds himself in a different world where he has apparently been leading a very different life.
