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, that was sad. How could Severus have known though and what were the chances of that happening? It's truly terrible--something that will haunt him for the rest of his life, I imagine.

    Despite the sadness of the story, at least Severus gave Harry a few more months of happiness. If he'd left him in the dumpster, he wouldn't have made it through the night.

    Good writing--I loved the descriptions of Severus' run down apartment and how resourceful you made him. Nice work.

    Oh, you had to go and make me sad...:( That dream was really depressing. But, maybe the potion will have the desired effects after all. I guess we'll see...

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Sorry, but on a brighter note...I've been giving out free boxes of tissues!!

     

    Don't fear PG, poor Harry will soon have everything he ever wanted. While he can't bring back Sirius, he'll finally have the father figure he deserves.

    Aw, I liked that so much! Great fic!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Thanks PG!! I can't believe that you reviewed every chappie, that was really nice.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Best Laid Plans 04 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Hooray for Severus being concerned about Harry! I'm starting to hope for a happy ending...I could be wrong though. For a while, I had a sneaking suspicion that Severus would die once Harry had finally come to accept him as a guardian. I think I'll be upset if it happens now--I'm growing rather fond of this Snape.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Aw, c'mon, I love sappy endings. I can't resist.

     

    You don't honestly think that I'm that evil. Even the EDQ wouldn't do that!! Yeah, I'm fond of old Snapey-poo too. (Please don't tell him that I said that!)

    I loved Harry's reactions to Snape's kindness! He's so confused that Severus is giving him what he needs when the Dursley's didn't. I also enjoyed the part where Snape storms up to Harry's room to berate him for being late, then backs down when he realizes all that the boy has been through.

    I'm really enjoying this fic!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, Harry was very confused over his own conflicting emotions.  Severus may be a reserved man, who keeps his emotions close to the chest, but he'd never physically abuse a child, even though he hasn't been above psychologically abusing one. He's always made excuses for his own maltreatment of Harry, but now he's forced to examine his own shortcomings and really see Harry for who he is. He's had to admit that Harry is not all he thought that he was. He's had to admit that the boy has been though hell and back, and some of it was at Snape's own hands.

     

    Severus is determined to make up for it, without giving up his pride. Not an easy feat!

     

    Thank you P.G.

    Oh boy... I can't wait to see how the potion influences them. I wonder if Harry's opinion of Snape will change...

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: I think that Dumbledore was hoping that the potion would force them to really see deep inside of each other, but the hard work is for each of them to let go of their pre-conceptions of each other.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Say what? 04 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Somehow, this seems like a bad idea. I imagine Harry is about to go ape-nuts on Dumbley, and with good reason. Who's to say this will actually help Snape and Harry? I'm not sure that it will provide the results your manipulative Dumbledore is after.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Aw, but Dumbleydore has plans, within plans doesn't he?  The greater good and all that... But I really do think that he wants these two to put aside their differences, and he really does care about both of them, and he is very old and although positively barmey, he is brilliant!  He knows things about this potion that Harry doesn't.  Also, he knows how much Severus loved Lily, and that with just a little push, that maybe he'll care about her son as well.

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Retribution--Moody Style 04 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Ha! "You can't just turn Muggles into farm animals at will!" I love it! I also really enjoyed seeing Dudley's more caring side. Spoiled or not, I think he'd have a hard time ignoring that sort of abuse going on in the household. I mean, who knows? If his father is willing to do that to Harry, he could possibly also do it to him if he made a big enough mistake.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    The abuse part was hard to write, but I had a lot of fun turning Vernon and Petunia into farm animals. I just thought that Moody is crazy enough to do something like that, and Kingsley is the voice of calm reason, with his deep, soothing voice. I find Kingsley  sexy in the moviies!

     

    I think that you are exactly right about Dudley. I'm sure that that was flashing through his mind. How horrifying to see your own father treat your family that way, and ever since the incident with the Dementors, Dudley has really been doing some soul searching, and not liking what he's seeing. After all...he's done some of his OWN abuse towards Harry, hasn't he?
