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 people! Things are never easy, are they?

Title: Chapter 46: 46 : Silver Spring 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Ooh... nice. Great concept/idea, Soulshadow. Bit scary, but very cool!

Title: Chapter 47: 47 : Soulshadow 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Oh, poor guy.

    Again, I really, really like the Soulshadow concept - very well done. Wish I'd have thought of it...

Title: Chapter 48: 48 : Fearful Lion 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Oh, I hope it doesn't change Horris too much! The kid's got enough problems as it is!

    Great chapter - as always (even if I don't say it every chapter).

Title: Chapter 49: 49 : In too Deep 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Oh, no not good. What if... what if Horris was anchored to somebody else? I mean, ideally, you wouldn't want his will linked to that of anyone else, but if it's that or Voldemort...

Title: Chapter 50: 50 : Compounding Problems 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Ouch. >.- Well, Sirius was acting like an idiot. He does that a little too well sometimes...

Title: Chapter 51: 51 : Appeasing the Gray 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    No, Horris, NO! You can't think like that! Bad!

    Something's gonna go awry - I just know it. If not with the Soulshadow, then something else. I almost can't bear to keep reading...

    Oh. I knew it. ... but maybe, just maaaaaybe, it did work, yeah? Perhaps? ...

Title: Chapter 53: 53 : Somber Sunset 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Nononononononono! Neek! *covers face, whimpering in distress*

    Not. Good!

Title: Chapter 54: 54 : Endgame 01 Aug 2010
Reviewer: Dream Painter (Signed)
    Tragic end, but beautifully written from start to finish. As much as I can be a sucker for 'happy endings', I would not change this. In fact, in a way, it still is happy. Though, he no doubt regrets leaving those he cares about behind, Horris is free of so much that has plagued his short life.

    Excellent story. Definitely a favorite. Thank you for writing it.
