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.

    That was very, very good. I love your descriptions and how eerily the light is glinting off the knitting needles. The black yarn suited Snape. I really enjoyed this piece; it's very unique and thought provoking.

ONESHOT. Snape discovers some unsettling evidence that drives him to Number 4 Privet drive. What does he discover? Fic fest challenge response... (can be read as cannon, see chapter note).

    I really liked this, especially Sev's little fear. Good work!

Year Seven, SS through HBP compliant (Non Deathly Hallows Compliant) Severitus. Why is Harry's appearance changing? Is he being affected by destroying the Horcruxes in the same manner that Voldemort was while he was creating them? And just why is Snape acting so weird?

    This is pretty good so far, though I have a very hard time believing that the Dursley's would actually allow someone to stay over as Harry's guest. Good start to the fic!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, I hope you enjoy the rest as well. I started this before book 7 came out, and now, I too, have a hard time seeing them allowing anyone staying with Harry. But, I was convinced at the end of book 6 that Hermione and Ron weren't going to let Harry go anywhere alone. Oh well, that's what the AU category is for. :D Thanks again!


"Harry remained quite still for a moment, then hurled the mirror back into the trunk where it shattered."-Order of the Phoenix. Harry accidentally cuts himself on Sirius's mirror after breaking it. He then runs into someone unexpected, who has his own thoughts on the situation... Written for the "Accidental Cut Challenge"

    Aw! Snape actually cares. I liked that one; good job on your first fic!

This is in answer to my own challenge “Aesop Fables.” Harry and Draco get into a bit of trouble and are caught by Professor Snape.

    Lol, Sev really put them in their place. I really enjoyed this!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!

    I thought it was rather funny that Draco and Harry even imagined they were getting away without a detention. Silly boys.

    Thanks for reading!


Harry sat cross-legged on the floor, staring at paint chips. Did there have to be so many colours? And not only colours, but shades and tints of colours! Oneshot after TDH.

Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    That was very nice--I really like the reason he chose the paint and how he was so happy to finally get to choose something for himself.

    -P.G.

At the beginning of seventh year, Harry is told that there was a mistake made with his life. As he's shown how he was supposed to have grown up, he wonders what a Dursley-free life would have been like. But what’s this about Snape? [AU].

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: What Has Been 04 May 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    I think this is a great start to a great fic, but I'm a bit confused about what's going on. I feel like either Snape would have to take the Dark Mark and claim Harry after Lily died, or claim Harry immediately and run with Lily far away. How could he claim him in a Voldemort-free world when the world was not free of Voldemort yet? Maybe it'll make more sense as I read more.

    I do like the plot of this and the fates. Very cool.

    -P.G.

Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    This chapter made everything from the last much clearer for me. I'm glad that you made Snape such a loving father.

    -P.G.

Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    Oh? I'm glad I don't have to wait around this cliffie. Not go to Hogwarts? Well, I guess they are rather smart for their age, but still...

    -P.G.

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: What Could Have Been - Part Three 04 May 2009
Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed)
    I really do like this, though I'm a bit worried about the change because it might be hard for Harry to accept the different way that Snape will treat him.

    Great story!

    -P.G.
