2021 Profile Update:

I have been away from P&S for so long (at least 8 years) that a lot of my favorite authors seem to have left, and a lot my favorite stories that were works in progress have been abandoned. But, I recently felt the desire to read some HP fanfic, and I remembered that this was once one of my favorite sites so I'm back! Here's a bit about me:

I'm a former Marine in her early thirties living somewhere in the USA. I read mostly fantasy books, with some science fiction thrown in, and I'll even read the occasional historical fiction, mystery, or horror/thriller, but my favorite genre is fantasy. For the most part, if a book involves dragons, I'm willing to give it a chance, especially if the dragons aren't just dumb beasts. The same applies to books about wolves. The first three HP books are my favorites.  

My hobbies include reading (obviously!), horseback riding (when I get the chance), archery (also a rare occurence), flying (when I have the money to pay for my lessons), co-writing a fanfic of my own (when my co-author and I aren't plagued by writers' block), cross-stitching, playing games (computer, console, board games, card games, D&D, or whatever...), and sometimes watching movies. I'd like to be a pilot someday, but I'm not sure if that will ever happen. In the meantime, I have a job that I enjoy almost as much, and I'm looking to buy my first house this year.

Also, while I'm not actively beta-reading anything at the moment, if anyone is in need of a beta reader, I'm definitely interested in at least looking at your story...
