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

    "Merlin... If Snape was trying to tell him he wanted to talk about sex with him…well, Harry would just head straight to Voldemort and his entire army of murderous Death Eaters right now..."

    LOL! Every teen's fear, I should think! :P

    Love this chapter. Killer of cliffie, though - dunno how I would've survived this fic if I'd been reading as it was posted.

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Acceptance 16 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Yay..! ^^ I really like that little scene at the end. :D And I had to smirk at "even in the privacy and relative silence of his own thoughts." Tis a foreign concept to me - there isn't any silence in my head! LOL

    Wonderfully written. The more I read, the more I love this tale.

Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Belief 17 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Each an every chapter of this tale is so good! I love how you portrayed everyone. Again, nicely done. ^^

Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Up is Down 23 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    I find myself exceptionally curious about Hermione and Ron's reactions earlier in the chapter. Oh, and I do not like that chapter ending - seems rather ominous to me. Poor Severus.

    Great chapter all around; humor, a little romance, a dash of intrigue, a dose of angst - what more can a girl hope for?

Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Revelations 17 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    ^^ I loved the exchanged between Severus and Harry there at the end. It definitely made me smile. And I also really liked when Sev showed Harry how to better control his emotions.

    Awesome chapter.

Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Promises 17 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Aw - that was so sweet of Severus to turn his office into a bedroom for Harry. ^^ I wouldn't wanna think about Halloween, either, though.

    Looking forward to seeing what happens next...

Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Never Enough 17 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Oh, I am not so convinced that really was just a nightmare...

    Somehow, this whole chapter has given me a horrible sense of foreboding. Something's going to happen - I just know it.

Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Dance of the Death Eater 17 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    No... Poor guy. But, he can't be dead! I refuse to believe it! He CAN'T! *stamps foot for emphasis*

Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Broken 18 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Oh, I was so nearly convinced he was actually dead until Remus finally said he wasn't. Evil writer person.

    And though I hadn't promised them before, I *am* withholding any hugs and kisses until I am satisfied poor Sev is put (reasonably) back together again.

    ^^
