Final Note 6 - June 2018:

Although it has already been a long time since I have posted or updated anything, it is time to make it official.

I will no longer be writing fanfiction.

I haven't come to this decision because I have run out of ideas or inspiration for my current works - to the contrary, I have put a lot of thought and planning into each of them. Even now, the moments and scenes I had planned live happily in my head. The issue becomes the fact that I have limited free time, so I must choose how to spend it. This is why there have so often been extremely long breaks between updates. In turn, this becomes unfair to readers, as I know that they often have limited free time as well and it is very easy to forget the plot of a story that wasn't born within your own head (and sometimes even then!).

Now, I know many of you would continue to wait for updates. We lovers of fanfiction are tenacious that way. However, since my free time is limited, I have decided that my focus needs to be on my original works.

In that spirit, though a part of me is saddened, I hereby abandon all my current works-in-progress. I will not be updating them again. However, I also open my stories up for adoption, should anyone be interested in continuing them in my stead. (Though, to be clear, I don't honestly think anyone would, but) I ask only that I be credited and that no large portions of my work, incomplete or no, be copied by another (so please link/direct readers back to my work if you continue it).

I've had such a great time in this fandom. Thanks to all who've helped keep the magic alive!

Warm regards,

Dream Painter

    Ouch. >.-

    I realize that is an understatement, but nothing else seems quite appropriate, either.

    Great chapter. Those poor guys, though...

    I like the way Snape elected to punish his mother, the foul harpy. No mother should willingly be the source of so much pain and anguish to their child.

    Well writ.

    One step forward... two steps back. *sigh* Nothing's ever easy, is it?

    Great chapter.

    Hmm... what is happening with Malfoy, I wonder?

    Good chapter. I especially liked the section near the end. Well done!

    Oooh... I think I like this turn with the Malfoys. Certainly caught my interest.

    Aw..! ^^ I like how Sev kept Lily's things - and how he's actually *teaching* this time around.

    Good chap.

    I like how Harry uses a 'dementor storm' for his mental defenses. And Snape is right - Harry really does need to let himself grief. I don't think he ever truly did, in canon, really. Not during the course of the books, anyway.

    Great chap.

    I knew it wasn't going to go well when Harry was told to earn a detention. *shakes head*

    Hope they can resolve this newest rift.

    Bravo! Well done on this chapter. Dunno about you, but I find emotional scenes oft-times difficult to write.

    Oh, dear. This bodes not well. >.- Acting without knowing all the fact = generally not good.

    Another awesome chapter - can't wait to find out more about What's Going On.
