A Love So Deep
Author's Notes
A Tale Of Love By In The Shadows I Dwell

To the world you may be one person, but to one person; you may be the world.

As some of you may have noticed there are slight changes made quite frequently to lines, and parts of A Love So Deep, this is due to the fact that now that the story itself is complete, I am going back over it to edit with the help of several friends to improve it and bring it all up to scratch.

Armed with your suggestions, dictionaries, thesauruses (and a wide range of materials including the Harry Potter books themselves) and your reviews we are slowly going through the entire story in an attempt to make it a better fiction to read in general. So with that in mind keep reviewing, and be aware that at this stage nothing is permanent, only the really important parts.

So if you see or notice anything odd about the story e.g. strange lines that make no sense speak up! I don't care! In fact I welcome it; I know I'm not a brilliant writer and that I make plenty of mistakes! In fact that's how I learn, from those errors.

I'd like to thank you for your continued support and I hope to hear about the things you liked/disliked so that maybe in some way I can include/add more detail to the story which has been suggested already – that of which I aim to achieve, I know myself it isn't perfect and that there is little chance of it being so but I hope one day I can look back proudly and say – 'I wrote that.'

By the time we're through with it I'm hoping for a longer, more detailed A Love So Deep, one that leaves no loose end untied, no reader in question of what really happened. One where I will retain the same quality of the story right through. I thank you all for your continuing support and look forward to your reviews and suggestions when the story is changed, edited and finally announced complete once again. I decided I'd have a few FAQ in the mean time, most of which I hope to resolve by the time the story is complete.

FAQ:

What was wrong with Ashlea?

Well once I've edited I hope to include a part, preferably in Chapter Nineteen about the curse, it will be explained, I overlooked this funnily enough, but in fact Ashlea's curse was the direct result of her changing so much that she rejected her old self, forging a new being to exist. This pushed Hermione away, still existent however more dormant than before.

Why did Draco change?

Simple – His love for Ashlea caused him to reject how he once was and create a whole new person also.

Why did Ginny die?

That was planned from the point that I decided to extend the story, I'd originally planned for Ash and Draco to split earlier for example Chapter Fifteen, but there would be no justice in the world, and for me to announce that it was entirely complete I would have to be completely happy about the ending myself, and I wasn't so this idea came to mind that they resorted to time travel once again. I'm not sure but at this point I'm considering an additional chapter, I'm not positive at this point. But she died fighting, which in my belief would have been the way she would have wanted to go.

What is the symbolism behind the roses?

Simple – I've never received one however watching those around me receive them you realise just how beautiful and amazing they are, I guess I felt it somehow signified something rather special to me.

Wouldn't someone notice the handwriting – Ashlea and Hermione's would be the same?

Yes, easily, this was brought to my attention by the brilliant Recalcitrant and I aim to resolve this.
