I am a site admin for The Red Chair, an original fiction site that specializes in assisting Harry Potter writers in writing original fiction (which is much harder than it sounds!).
The site also has a new Livejournal community named the_redchair. Please go on in and friend it. You're more than welcome to join our ranks on either website.
I am a 25 year old midwestern (formerly southern) person who works in the newspaper industry. I hope some day to work in the fiction publishing industry, either as an author, editor or publisher. I accept and offer any assistance regarding the industry, and will pass any information along to our site users.
Contrary to my publication dates here, I've been on this site since it opened in November 2004. I've also been a mod and admin on this site for about half of the time. My first completed novel was Year Six (Now entitled Life of the Legend). My more famous (if you can use that word) is All's Fair, the story of my OC and Bill Weasley, set in an alternate year six and seven.
Please feel free to message me. I don't bite, and it's great meeting other users of MNFF.
