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

Reviews by Dream Painter

James Potter was not the great Gryffindor everyone claimed he was. Terrible secrets and evil deeds plagued his mind, his soul. In order to rid himself of these, he erased his memories, keeping them only in a small leather Journal where he revealed the entire terrible truth. This was locked deep inside a Gringotts vault with the hope of locking them away forever. His secrets are ready to seep out of the old, faded pages, changing people’s lives forever. All lies must end... "I was lied to about James Potter; a liar, a cheater, a thief. I was lied to about Lily Potter; her family, her past. Worst of all I was lied to about Harry Potter, for no such boy existed."-Horris

    *glares* I do no like this version of Dumbledore. Not to say you've portrayed him poorly - the character certainly has this in him - or that he seems 'evil', or anything. I just don't like him. Manipulative old codger, even if he does think he's doing things for the Greater Good.

    Uh-oh. Uh-oh, UH-OH! Oh, no... why isn't he talking? What did that BASTARD do to him???

    Great chapter as always. They're all awesome - I'm running out of unique things to say! lol

    Just when I get to thinking this tale can't get any more intense... Seriously. I'm practically glued to my computer screen.

    Awesome chapter!

    I tend to wander when I need to get my mind off things. Horris' method is probably a bit more effective, though.

    So, I'm guessing that Sunday "morning" was actually afternoon, eh? ^^ Sleeping in is wonderful, though - especially when one is tired!

    Poor Hermione must feel so conflicted. If she only knew they were one in the same...
