[antuhsa]

Hi,

Nice to meet you! I'm new here. My name is Antuhsa, which means 'human' in a language that died out long before Christ ever set foot on this planet. I am a human, of the female kind, and was born and raised in a small country on the European continent.

I started this journal mainly for fanfiction purposes. I discovered fanfiction about two years ago, more or less by accident. Of course I had known about its existence for much longer, but I wasn't interested. It turned out I just hadn't come across the right kind of fanfiction. In the end, all it took was a a lightning bolt shaped scar, combined with an equal amount of black, greasy hair, just a hint of acerbic wit, and I was off.

I haven't looked back since.

In the process of making my way through all the Snarry's on AFF.net, I became acquainted with fanfic-reader-frustration No. 1: becoming well and truly hooked by a great fic, only to discover it has been left unfinished for years. Tormenting as that experience was, it did motivate me to start writing myself and bring an old hobby back to life.

And so I did. I started writing and the ideas flowed from my pen, fic after fic after fic. I outlined them, wrote the first few chapters, and started on the next one. Outlined, started writing, and moved on to the next idea. And again. And again. And again. I must have a dozen half-finished fics lying around by now. All of which I look forward to sharing, but.... I've got to finish them first. Realising I seem to be unable to do so on my own, I decided to join DW. I discovered many of my favourite writers were here, so I hope I will find what I need here too. I've already seen the Snarry community is absolutely lovely, so I have no doubt I will one day manage to overcome my anxiety and go for it.

In the meantime I will use this journal to keep track of what is going on in the Snarry world and connect with others. Looking forward to it!
