Dear Reader

Greetings and salutations from the Secret Weapon.

Hmm... I haven't been 19 for a while, nor updated any of my fics.

This was mainly due to writers block and real life, and then HBP came out and rendered all my fics AU. I was also incredibly annoyed that I had predicted that TMR had been able to control his magic and was borderline psychotic at an early age and this was reflected in my fics but my beta convinced me that this made him wildly AU and so I removed alltraces of that plotline. Which then meant I didnt know how to progress and stalled me for a couple of years.

Of course HBP comes out and it turns out that I was right. Hmph! With all due respect to the beta in question she was wonderful otherwise and any fic writer would be lucky to have her. But I still listened to her against my better judgement andfor this reason I now refuse to have my work betaed.

I'll still welcome reviews and I'm all for someone who will say - your work is crap, heres why. But dont ask me to have characters in my fics do something else because you dont think its very likely. I write HP/TMR for crying out loud - I know perfectly well that I'm on a sinking ship. Ok if Snape suddenly turns incredibly sweet and sappy or something I dont mind if you berate me for that, but I intend to ignore someone who says - please break up such and such pairing because it squicks me. (I have had such requests).

Thank you to everyone who has ever left me a review - especiallyyears after a fic has been updated.

About my fics:

Ashes to Ashes will bee cleaned upeventually - but I will post the adult version elsewhere -aff or somewhere.The sequel will be up shortly if I get my waybut I'm not promising anything.

Forever - I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. Again no promises - but am trying to revise and update.

More as and when.

Hugs and cookies
