About the Staff
Know to those on the forum as Lassie, Kat is currently attempting to finish her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. When she’s not studying, and not on Poufwa, she’s with her kids (yes, as Episode 113 establishes, she has kids), practicing for her Wizard Rock band – Pomona Sprout and the Hufflepuffs, trying to finish her manuscript, and once in a while you actually might find her sleeping.
She got her Hogwarts letter in 1999 on her brother’s birthday instead of her own (she blames the Owl Post) in the form of the first two Harry Potter novels. From the moment Ron started upchucking slugs, Kat was hooked on Harry Potter. She tore through the first three novels and then, decidedly bored and knowing there wouldn’t be another book for a while (waiting for book 4 was murder…), she searched on the Internet for a possible release date and found The Leaky Cauldron. Fast-forward to nearly a decade later, to the end of 2008. Kat had long found herself lost in a sea of fans on Leaky and Mugglenet, and was in search of some place where she could belong that was geared more towards adults. She stumbled upon Poufwa and it was love at first click.
As if Kat isn’t busy enough with her daily life, she was invited by Sue to be a Guest Peon in 2009, and after the Peon’s were upgraded to hosts, she became a guest host by “sheer, dumb luck.”
Past Hosts
A lot of our hosts have moved on from PotterFicWeekly and are now working on our sister podcast: The Poufwa Exchange. Others pop up once in a while, and we at PotterFicWeekly would like to remind them that they’re welcome back any time!
Ryan
Hometown: Massachusetts
Irked that he couldn’t locate an indepth Harry Potter fanfiction podcast, Ryan started PotterFicWeekly on February 11, 2007. Since that time, he has learned that goats make excellent lawnmowers, keys will sometimes come out of the ignition even if the car isn’t firmly in park, and that drugged-up podcast hosts = big numbers. He firmly wants PotterFicWeekly to be less structured and more casual than other podcasts, which is evident by its average three hour running time and by the fact that Jen frequently leaves halfway through the podcast to go get her laundry or to kiss her giant Snape blowup doll.
PS
The Plaid Slytherin (PS to her friends), holder of the titles Fakest Real Laugh and Shortest Poufwa Host, is a fanfiction author in the Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica fandoms. She is perhaps most well-known for her passionate love of Horace Slughorn, Jack Harkness, Haruhi Suzumiya and Saul Tigh. If anything can figure out what these four characters have in common, they deserve house points.
A lifelong SF fan who assuredly knows the difference between a toy boat and a boat boat, PS first read Harry Potter in 1999 and has been in the fandom for many years. She joined Poufwa right after Deathly Hallows was released and hasn’t looked back, having since become an H/G Jehovah’s Witness. Her additional loves include anime, baseball, clipboards and learning foreign languages.

Kezza
Kezza is a Harry Potter fan from waaaaay back – all the way back to 2006. She’s been reading fanfiction since then and started compulsively writing her own works in mid 2007 after the release of Deathly Hallows. A mother of three, she has sort of brainwashed the kids and now they go around calling their father Voldemort. Hey, he started it … she just bought them their wands.
If you are looking for Kezza, you can find her clinging to the bottom of the world while the rest of PFW sleeps. She is either writing fanfiction, reading fanfiction or studying. As a full time Education student at university Kezza spends half her time avoiding writing her Honours thesis and the other half risking her life by hanging out her washing and other such noble pursuits.
An unrepentant Harry/Ginny shipper, Kezza spends her spare time giggling with Jen2, squeeing over Harry/Ginny fluff and editing Potterficweekly podcasts.
