I've been hanging out in another fandom where my fave author writes both for that fandom and HP. That was my transition into HP fandom (she tends to write Hr/Cedric lives or HP/Cedric lives). After exhausting the Hr/Cedric ship, I realized that I had always thought that H/Hr was the place to be (it's so obvious it's meant to be!) and found this awesome site. I've been reading fics here for about a month now and Penshoppe (gal-texter) over in LJ harryhermoine land moved mountains on a weekend to enable my registration here, for which I am eternally grateful. I'm so psyched I can actually participate in forums now! In my RL, no one really knows I'm into ff, and I've made some fic friends in my other fandom, but I'm really getting more into HP and would love to chat over here too. Thanks! Sorry I'm so long winded, but I feel like I had laryngitis for a week and I can finally speak! A.

Read our feature on author HARRYS MISTRESS! Props to my beta(s): Elodie Tristie and Dimethylmercury!	Hi Addison! awesome site is correct. I've discovered PK a few years ago when I'm still a budding HP fan. Then I lurked for some time before finally having the courage to participate in the forums. Well then Pen (gal-texter) deserves a glomp! glomps Pen for bringing Addison here Lemme tell you a little secret: Only a few people from RL knew I'm into fanfiction as well but I don't really mind. I can hog PK all to myself (J/K!)! So, where are you from? Ooo! The most important part! Ahem, ahem: Welcome to Portkey.org my friend! The home of Harry/Hermione shippers with Ron/Luna, Draco/Ginny, and James/Lily ships! -----> If you have any questions and concerns, there are about hundreds (ha!) of URLs thrown over the place for our FAQs and Help Desk. If those don't really answer your question, well then, ask the Admins and Mods. We'll be glad to help anyone out.

I'm enjoying it here so far! In the other fandom, I also write a bit, but here all I want to do is read, it's like being on holiday! It's fun discovering authors and styles etc. Thanks for your warm greetings!

I imagine it would be nice going abroad. Hey, maybe you can apply as an author here too! If you want, that is.

You're welcome. I oughta thank Anna (AdamantEve/DeliverMeFromEve) and StarbuckJr too; I followed them to the harryhermione LJ. Welcome to PK's forums. Plenty of useful info in our pages' margins here; these forum pages are the easiest to maintain of all PK webpages. Also if you've got questions for our interviewees, please post them here or PM me here. For Harrys Mistress, go ahead and post it on her issue's thread. I know you've read Ahn Na's and Anna's stories lately so we'd love to hear your thoughts about their work in or outside the Potter-verse.
