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

    Poor Sirius. So confused. ^^

    Love that last line... "A dark cover to protect the goodness within." Beautiful.

    Oh. Don't tell me it's Harry. Poor kid! He has so much going on already!

    And I see Sirius is being stubborn. How typical. *sigh*

    I feel sorry for Ron. He's so desperate to feel worth, not realizing that only he can truly attribute it to himself. After all, one has scarcely more value than that they feel for him or herself.

    ^^ And here Draco thought he could be a bit lazier, now. LOL

    Poor Remus - it must suck being expected to 'calm the waters', as it were.

    Oooh... a new player. Hmm.

    I loved the comparison and contrast in this chapter between Harry and who he evolved into as Horris.

    Nicely done.

    I can definitely agree with Hermione's sentiments. I still have a soft spot for several people who proved be anything but the best of friends in the long run. Poor gal.

Title: Chapter 43: 43 : Wrong Place; Wrong Time 01 Aug 2010

    I'm growing more and more curious about this Abdicaterra character...

    It would seem that things are starting to heat up in a major way. It's making me a bit nervous actually. As much as I'm all for a happy ending, I'm beginning to fear that such a conclusion could scarcely suit this story at all...

    So the plot thickens...
