What the title says. ;)

Anyway, my name is Rochelle, I'm 26, I live in the States, and while I
found the main list (HP4GU) awhile ago, it's taken me a few months to
join.  I think all the rules made me a bit nervous. *g*

I first started reading Harry Potter books about two years ago, when GoF
came out in the States.  There'd been a lot of fuss surrounding this
series and since the media reported that this book was where the series
took a darker turn (I have an odd affinity for that sort of thing), I
ended up reading the last book first -- in about three days.  From then
on, I was absolutely hooked and had to read the other three.

Almost a year later, though, my interest in the seies took an unexpected
twist: I stumbled across a Web ring for Harry Potter slash.  I was
shocked, of course; even though I'm a certifiable slash fiend and the
idea of Ron being what Harry would "sorely miss" [GoF, p.463] made me
go, "Hm," something in my brain just couldn't accept the idea of putting
Harry Potter and slash in the same sentence.  Then, someone told me
about the HPSlash list and... well....  Let's just say I got over
self-imposed inhibitions.

Going with the odds, nobody here has heard of anything I've written. *g*
But my main project right now is Dying of the Light, my version of
Severus Snape's mysterious past.  I adore the character, and I love to
pick apart his psyche.  If anyone wants to see what I've come up with so
far, you can reach it either through FFN (the link to all the stories
I've posted there is in my sig) or through the direct link to the story
on my site.  It's eight-chapters-plus-a-prologue long so far.  Right
now, I'm working on the ninth, and there will probably be twelve total,
plus the epilogue.  I hope to finish it by the end of the month,
although that may be pushing it.

I plan to write at least two more novel-length stories involving Snape
in the future... and both of them are... het? O_o The main reason I'm
taking them on is because writing these pairings plausibly will present
a nice challenge, and I never could resist a challenge.

My favorite characters include Severus Snape (naturally), Remus Lupin
(who can resist?), and Sirius Black.  I also have a morbid sort of
fascination with Voldemort.  What can I say, the man is DETERMINED, and
I tend to admire his sheer ambition.  Heh, I guess it's no surprise that
every single Sorting Hat quiz I take lands me in Slytherin.

I guess that's it; nice to meet everyone.  And even if you don't see me
very much, I'll be seeing you. :)

*Rochelle.
