Well, I guess I should formally introduce myself to everyone! My name is fallingrock, and I've been a Rickman fan since Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I have to confess that there are several movies that I haven't seen and there are some, like Big Fish, that not even Alan's presence will not induce me to suffer through. I'm not buying that line about not knowing whether I'll like it or not unless I try it, either. Anyway, giggin, invited me over here and I'm glad that she did! There are people here that understand me!!! I also see a lot of familiar names from the Chamber of Secrets, so HI! Thanks for welcome, cissy!

I'm the Cornerstander, as I live in Winslow, Arizona and have been here off and on since the early '60's. Also, our house is on a well traveled (in our small town) corner, so it seems appropriate. I am Cornerstander on all boards I participate in. My husband and I have 6 grown children and 12 grandchildren, soon to be 14. I work full time as the administrator of a community college work-based education (vocational) program at the local state prison. When not working, my hobbies are my grandchildren (of course), HP forums, HP books, reading, and all kinds of needlework.
Have just had a very Merry Christmas and a quiet but very Happy New Year's celebration with 2 granddaughters having spent the night here. We watched "Azkaban" and then played with their PS2 EyeToy until midnight, while their grandfather slept, and then set off noisemakers in the front yard, and ate ice cream by the fireplace. Plenty exciting for us!!
I see nobody here is on line, but wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Back to work on Tuesday!
I'll check things out evenings later this week. Adieu.

*blushes* This is so hard because I'm hopelessly shy, but here goes...I'm Olwen and I recognize so many of you from the Chamber of Secret forums. Giggin told me about this website and I've been lurking about for awhile nd finally decided to join in. I've been crazy about Alan since I heard that incredible voice in Die Hard and found looks to match. He is such an incredible actor, and it's great to find so many others who feel the same way. Happy New Year to all!

lovely site hmm, intro.. I'm a 30 year old mother of three living in Texas I've been an Alan fan officialy for about a year though I loved his charactors before I knew who he was. I'm fairly regularly found in the Alan/Snape threads on the WB Harry Potter site, someone from there invited me though I don't know her sn here. Unfortunately there are several of his movies i've not seen but I'm trying to remedy that and my favorite so far would have to be Blow Dry with Galaxy Quest falling very closely behind. I look forward to checking this place out further ;D
