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

    This is such a fun start, Ebb! I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

    Ack, but I hope Harry's okay. Or... well... as okay as he can be, considering the circumstances.

    Awww, poor Harry - Fluffy needs him! Or does he need Fluffy?

    A good update. :P Wilcox is amusing, and promises to provide our dear Snape with plenty of frustration! Looking forward to the next chapter.

    D'awwwwwww. Okay, this chapter was rather sappy, Ebb. Like... sappy sappy. But I likes it, omg. :P

    Poor Severus, though.

    Yaaaay, a delightful close, Ebbs. Fluffy is freaking adorable. Poor Snape, though. :P

    Nicely done!

When James and Lilly died their son was presumed dead by the wizarding world. Few people know that Harry is still alive and has been raised as a Lovegood. When the Dark Lord returns it will be up to Luna, Harry, and Snape to save the day.

    You are evil. I know I have stated as much to you, but my point still stands.

    Poor Harry and Luna - first their mum, now their father. And that stupid Quirrel skulking around, now. *shakes head* Interesting that you have Snape aware of Harry's true identity. A good touch, I feel.

    Good chapter - look forward to the next.

When Hagrid gets in the way of a curse meant for Harry, the whole school must deal with the consequences.

    Wow, did Draco choose the wrong buttons to push!

    Poor Hagrid. The world must seem so big to him, now. :P

    D'aaawwwww - such an adorable scene there at the end!

    I was very glad to see that Snape reassured Harry without letting him off for his actions. It's a very important balance to be had. Nicely done.

Harry discovers a new side of Snape.

    Poor Snape. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of his torment. The Love Shack - lol. I wouldn't let him hear the end of it!

    A very heartwarming little piece. I really like it - well done!

Promt #2 No one would ever really know just how much Harry and Snape despised Halloween. Except perhaps Petunia, but then she wasn't any fonder of it herself.

    I do like it, however, it feels a bit like a prelude to something more to me. Perhaps you may wish to expound upon it, some time? Either way, it made for a good read. Well done.
