I had never thought about writing anything before 2006. I started out in the BtVS fandom, reading tons of fic, wincing at atrocious grammar... And then I volunteered to beta for someone. I know I should have probably researched a little on how one actually betas, but I didn't, ended up practically rewriting this girl's fic for her (many, many stories) and then we moved. I was able to extricate myself from her and suddenly found - crossovers. HP was my first crossover and goodness me... I fell in LOVE and had ideas and then wrote these little bits of dialog that wouldn't leave me alone.

Ended up with a 23 chapter fic that took me 22 months to write. I'd love to have the time to go back and smooth it out.

Severus and Drusilla were my muses back then.

So I guess I caught the writing bug from editing others' work and now I document all of my ideas whether big or small. I've even started growing characters for an original fiction... *scary huh?
