Hello Penguin, welcome to my journal! I'll have to alert my friend _vocalion_ to your icon - her ship is Potions & Pineapples :-)...
Wheee! you like my writing too! That makes my day. As for my English, you haven't heard me yet; writing does come easier to me than speaking, and for my stories I have a wonderful beta.
'Slightly obsessed' doesn't cover my 'affair' with Snape in the slightest, I fear :D. After the stories I've written and the pictures I've drawn I'm not inclined to call him vile and evil; I adore him - though, as you say, I wouldn't want to meet him, LOL. As a fictional figure, and a fictional mask to use in writing, he is really great and exciting. I think that is what JKR means: when you write Snape, you know you are being base and mean, but it's wonderful to have a mouthpiece that allows you to discard the restrictions of who you are in real life. Mind you - I say 'wonderful', but I felt really bad after writing "As She Likes It". It has my nastiest Snape ever, and it was hard to come to terms with the fact that he came out of my head. Fortunately I'm very different from him in real life ;-).
My stories are indeed posted at several sites. Occlumency holds them all, without exception, and in the most recent versions - that would be here (http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/viewuser.php?uid=367). The only story you won't be able to access via this page is "As She Likes It", because of the R-rating. In case you really want to read that story, I'll have to redirect you to FictionAlley, here (http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/sigune/). That site holds all my stories (and my HBP Snape essay) as well, but the ones written before OotP haven't been updated. FA has all the original versions.
Thanks so much for the praise! *floats away on a pink cloud*
