FOREWORD TO "THE MARAUDER MONOLOGUES"



DISCLAIMER: I own absolutely nothing you will read here except for the OC's and some of the actions that the characters take. Everything belongs to J. K. Rowling (yippity-hooray!! We Love J.K.!) and should remain that way. You, however, are free to read and enjoy the vignettes before you, and free to write your own stuff – which is what makes this world so great. (Double yippity-hooray!!) Thanks for the attention here.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: "The Marauder Monologues" are written from the Marauders' and other characters' points of view. They discuss mainly what happened at Hogwarts while the Marauders were in school, although some reflect upon the other stories associated with Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Although I don't see how it is possible that you haven't read the whole series, this definitely contains spoilers for everything up to the third book, and possibly the fourth as well.

I wrote this in the style of Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" and Rebecca Wells's "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." This is basically a collection of monologues/essays from different characters' points of view. I am currently in the process of writing more than what are posted here. So please review when you have read these! (Flames, however, will be used to read the Marauder's Map while the boys are prowling the school grounds and ignoring nasty, hurtful comments.) I am looking forward to reading your comments, and would love some suggestions. Maybe you can think of a character you'd like to hear from…? So come on and tell me!
