I'm Coriaria on all platforms. I've never done R/S small gifts before and had been taking a break from fests as I was struggling with deadlines but I got grabbed by a prompt and even ended up submitting early. It's exciting to be part of a larger fest too, because I've only been reading HP fanfic for about 5 years and writing for 4, and by the time I started writing all the characters I liked had been killed off and weren't so popular. I haven't read any other fandoms, this one's kept me happy.
I write non-fiction as a hobby, but it takes quite a bit of research to write the stuff I like to do and it can be too much effort when my life is spiralling out of control. So I write fanfic to relax, because I can do 90% of my research on the Harry Potter wiki etc (except when I end up requiring something obscure like a couple of phrases in the Kurdish language...). I also write HP fanfic for the discipline of writing every day.
Currently I'm mainly reading and writing Remus/ Sirius. I also write Remus/ Severus and the odd rarepair like Snape/ Moody and even a bit of the canon but rare Andromeda/ Ted. I like the older characters in the HP books because as someone who read HP as an adult, I identified more with the adults. I love to work with their character flaws as well as good points. I also enjoy writing these characters as friends (e.g. Sirius & Severus as enemies to friends) in fics where one or both is a part of a main pairing.
