About the Staff
Hosts
Sue
Sue found Harry Potter through school children she worked with, it was love at first read. It wasn’t until after Deathly Hallows that she discovered fan fiction. She is willing to try anything, once, but it has to be well done to keep her interested. Soon after she discovered fan fic, she found Poufwa. At first intimidated by the forums, she soon became a regular contributer. It wasn’t long before she was sending in voicemails and Poufwa warnings, that lead to PeonCast.
In real life she is a preschool teacher and lives on a Herb and Chicken farm. At least once a week finds her washing 10 to 15 dozen eggs, usually while listening to a podcast. She loves to garden, kayak, cook and make herbal remedies and salves, which she sends to friends and family.

Scott
Scott started reading fanfiction in 2001, became more active with fandom things in 2005, and discovered PFW via nomination round in October 2007, just weeks before the Halloween Ball. Interest caught, he’s been hanging around the forum with a fair amount of constancy ever since. His Sorting saw Hufflepuff very narrowly edging out Ravenclaw, and he’s been at various times a Prefect, Head Boy, Wizengamot member, and even Acting Head of House for one weekend.
Scott first appeared on the podcast during the inaugural Christmas special, and went on to contribute a few clips for intros, a voicemail and some podcast editing. His first appearance on a standard episode was #45, and while not precisely a regular, he has been on several since. Scott can also be heard singing a PFW intro song that he and Kismatt collaborated on in spring 2008, playing various parts in Masterfic Theatre and other skits, and reading audio fic in the Media section.
With the close of Season 2 and Peoncast Season 1, Scott was asked if he’d be interested in becoming an official Peon, and has thus been recording Peoncasts pretty constantly since December 2008. Scott lives in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, uses the word ‘interesting’ a touch too often, and has rather enjoyed writing this in the third person, once he worked out what to say.
Kismatt
Ryan made me do this.
I was born a poor black child.
Okay, maybe I wasn’t. I just love Steve Martin movies.
I’m Kelly, aka Kismatt, and I’m a Harry Potter addict. I have been a member of the PotterFicWeekly forum (and family) since January 2008, when, after months of denial, I finally caved and listened to the first few PFW eps about After the End.
Let me back up a bit. In 2004, my best friend and I took her adopted daughter to the movies. She couldn’t decide which to see? Shrek 2 or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? so we went to both. It was my first HP movie, and I was fascinated. I read the books and watched the movies that were out at that time, but since I was fully entrenched in the Stargate: SG-1 fandom, I didn’t look for anything Potter-related material online.
Fast forward three years to a month before the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The conversations at work started to revolve around the previous books, and soon several of us were reading and listening to the books in anticipation of the release of DH. I decided to go to the midnight release for the book, and spent most of the following Saturday reading. The following Monday I finally saw Order of the Phoenix, and I was hooked.
I did manage to resist the urge to read fanfic until a friend sent me a link to ArtDungeon’s collage-like “Big Damn Anvil” which then sent me to more art, of which one had a link to a fic. Ack!! I read fanfic for a few months, and then discovered PFW and the bunch of crazy people called a Forum. The rest, as you know, is history.
