I’ve been a fangirl ever since I can remember, and I used to love making up new adventures for my barbies, She-Ra dolls, smurfs and other toys. I also used to collect different versions of fairy tales so that I could “uncover” the real version of the story. By the time I was 12, I wrote my first novel-length romance starring, of course, me and the members of NKOTB. Soon after I gave up writing new stories for characters I loved until I discovered the online world of Harry Potter in 2005. Up until then I was still fannish, mostly by converting my friends to the joys of Buffy or lurking on various online spoiler and discussion communities. But, when I discovered fandom and fanfiction, I quickly went from lurker to cheerleader to writer, and even enjoyed a stint as an editor for one of the daily newsletters on livejournal. I’ve also attended three Harry Potter conventions, as well as other scifi/comic cons, and have met some fantastic people who enjoy sharing their geeky love of source material.

There are fandoms for just about any book, movie or tv show out there, and I’ll be covering the highlights once a month. I’ll also do occasional con reports, mostly from the fangirl perspective (and by fangirl I mean someone who can get her geek on, not swoon over actors. Writers yes, pretty boys not so much). Expect the fandom report “Dru’s Corner” to contain links, info and a history of each fandom so you can dive in and meet other like-minded souls.
