Hi! My name is Laurel. I studied abroad for a year, and now I'm a college student, armed with a computer and 7 Harry Potter books.

(Majoring in some combination of English lit, international relations and biology, and minoring in public health!)

I'm known as firefly114 on fictionpress, mischief1managed on fanfiction.net, and Mischief Managed on the mugglenet forums. Sorry for the confusing amount of names.

I write original fiction--my latest project is a steampunk thriller about a stowaway orphan on a big renegade airship. I'm currently working on a full length Harry Potter prequel series! Please follow my blog for more info, and always feel free to email me, message me, or comment on my blog to see where I'm at. Don't be afraid to contact me, I love to talk and I promise I won't think you're a creep!

Some facts about me:
I live on a farm.
I have two brothers, a sister, a greyhound, and a husky.
I met Rupert Grint.
I have a knack for getting impaled by rather vicious metal objects.
As such, I interned in an OR for a while.
I was also an EMT one summer.
I was once on a popular children's TV show.
My greatest ambition is to publish a novel, even though nobody in real life knows that.
I've recently started writing song lyrics.
I have a love affair with indie music.

I'm an erratic writer, especially when things get busy at university. It usually just takes one email asking "when's the next chapter coming out?" to get me going again, though. Will you be that person??
