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.

    Wow, the tensions are running high! I'm as shocked as Severus about the way Harry is acting towards Draco on such a day of unity. I hope the jealousy he seems to be experiencing doesn't go too far; Harry doesn't realize how powerful and potentially dangerous he is and when his emotions run high like that, anything is possible. I hope Severus tells Harry about his powers before it gets even more out of control, especially if Draco's hanging around all the time.

    Lovely chapter!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Oh well, let's just say that Harry is not going to be done with jealousy for a while now, and with reasons. But you're right, this can't be good for anyone! Even for him!

    I felt so bad when Harry failed his potion :(.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Yes, the class was a vastly different experience for this Harry, even if the result was about the same.

    Sad--I hope there are some happier moments soon!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: There are a few smiles here and there.  :)

    Yay for figuring out the origins of the fic's title!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Yes, that might come up later...

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Against the Other Wall 19 Mar 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Oooh, I'm excited for the next chapter! I bet Harry will do a really good job in Potions!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: The odds are good...  :) 

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8: A Potent Brew 19 Mar 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Lol, that last sentence was awesome. I also enjoyed the following paragraph:

    "Points?" the boy asked. "First time for everything, I suppose." That remark got him a jab in the ribs from Granger. He looked at her, and then noticed several classmates staring at him in puzzlement. "Ah…I mean, first time this month." More stares. "First time today?" he asked in astonishment.

    Hilarious.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: It was fun to write a Potions Class.  The  whole series could have been set in that classroom, as far as I'm concerned.  ;)  

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Catching Up 19 Mar 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Oh dear...I imagine there is no way for the conversation to go anywhere but downhill after that, lol. Great chapter! I especially liked how Harry compared Hermione's mind to a "steel trap" and is really appreciative of her intelligence. The other Harry takes it for granted, really.

    I'm very curious about why other world Hermione pities Harry; is it because of his mom?

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Yes; this Hermione knows about his mom.  Everyone at the school would, since she works there. 

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: A Parallel 19 Mar 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    OMG, I can't believe I've never read this before! This is right up my alley because I adore time travel/plane travel fics! I really like how you conveyed how upset Snape is over loosing his son. It wasn't overdone, which is better than a soppy chapter. I don't think Snape would let his emotions show about it, at least, not in front of this new Harry.

    I'm off to read more!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: A new reader!   Hello!  :D  Thank you for reviewing!

Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Oh my goodness, that's so sad! You almost made me cry when Harry got the news, but especially when Snape treated him in a very unfatherly way. :(

    Despite my frowning face, I'm very much loving the plot here. Good work!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: :)  I'm glad you're enjoying it!  Even if you're almost crying.  ;)

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Lost at Sea 19 Mar 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Poor Harry. I wonder if he'll ever be able to embrace the love that Snape will probably want to give him here. I mean, it is a possibility that Harry might not make it back and will have to live in this new world. I hope he'll be able to accept things as they are eventually.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Hmm...well, I'm not giving away plot points.  You'll have to read on and see!
