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

    Beautifully written! I really like the way you wrote what went on inside Sev's mind - very nicely done.

    Beautiful chapter. Hope you're still expecting hugs, 'cos I'm not sure I could refrain. ^^ Bravo!

    Mm. Harry really shouldn't lie to his father. >.-

    Great chapter, as always. Though, Harry isn't the only one left turning the conversation over in his mind... Hmm...

    A very entertaining chapter! The image of McGonagall having a fit at the breakfast table was just sooo amusing - I could definitely see. And Severus dreading having to have A Talk with his son concerning his girlfriend... ^^ Poor guy!

    Wonderfully done. Love it!

    Oh, that is so not good. >.< I keep trying to think of how Harry could possibly make amends for saying all that, but I am at a loss. Just...

    Ouch.

    Well written, as always, though, I rather suspect Harry will take some time to forgive himself for speaking in such a way to his father. And poor Severus, feeling so inadequate. :(

    Loved the scene between Severus and Remus. ^^ Great chapter.

    Oooh... I like! Very nice idea. I need to start thinking of some of these things, myself. LOL ^^

    Great chapter. ^^

    This is such a delightful chapter! I liked the little wedding and LOVE how Harry and Severus are experience each other's emotions. ^^ And the Birds and the Bees!

    Brilliant, all of it! Well done!

    Good chapter - I like how you had Albus have a reaction to the horcrux. Well done!
