Hi!

My name is Jen. I'm the main admin of Last Resort, an alternate universe (AU) Harry Potter (HP) role-playing game (RPG). The site has been around for fifteen months and I have no intention of simply letting it go under anytime soon. My forum roleplay experience has nearly reached four years, and I have helped with running or run an RPG for nearly as long. When I first started out, I thought one-liners were the greatest posts on earth, but I have come to learn that brevity does not always make a great post. The forums I have been part of and run have helped me grow as a writer both in the role-play and fiction writing worlds.

Writing has been something I've been interested in my entire life for the most part. On my first day of kindergarten I came home upset that I couldn't read, and I pretty much taught myself. It wasn't too many grades gone by before little bookworm me was trying her hand at writing a few plays. I attempted to put a few of them on, but only one made it so far. It was a bit of a comedy where my friend and I acted like news reporters for a made-up news station (WNC, Wacky News Channel) and we did segments of made-up news and weather (with ridiculous temperature highs and lows) and even made up a few commercials. The one that sticks out most would have to be one where we were offering like four cantalopes for a dollar and several honey dew for $.50, lol. But anyway, eventually I progressed to fiction writing. I lost my first attempt at a story, but around the time of Lord of the Ring's release, I dabbed into the world of fan fiction. A couple years later, I discovered there was a role-play world out there, but as by then I was an avid book LotR fan, I couldn't find any that matched my desires, so I decided role-playing was not for me. It took my little sister begging me to join a Warrior's RPG of hers to get me into it. I soon found a Phantom of the Opera RPG, joined as Meg, and I had a ball. When one of the admins there messaged everyone with a link to a Harry Potter RPG, I joined despite gut instinct not to (my dad was very anti-Potter). This RPG was the beginning of this series, which so far has spanned five sites, including LR.

I have enjoyed these past years and I am hoping that those who are currently members enjoy their time as well as those of you who may join in the future. Just know I'm always here if you have a problem or need to ask a question!
