7/28/18 - A year into writing my second-year story of Sirius and I'm not as far in as I'd like to be, but progress is still being made and I'm very excited about some of the events I have planned throughout the story. In fact, it may be difficult to top the insanity in the following years. I would like to apologize for not posting my story as I complete chapters, but I simply cannot bring myself to do that. As I've mentioned before, I go back and change things as the story progresses, but also from the perspective of a reader of fan fiction, I hate getting invested in a story and realizing at the last chapter that it is not complete.

On an unrelated personal note, I am going to see Another Brick in the Wall, the orchestral production based on the movie based on the album The Wall, which is taking place at Music Hall tonight. I have been highly anticipating this since the moment I was invited, as it is the closest I can ever get to experiencing true live Pink Floyd until we discover time travel (and it isn't at all really; I don't see any evidence that Roger Waters was involved in this production). Until I have a T.A.R.D.I.S. of my own, I can only dream of viewing each of my favorite musicians in their prime.

1/24/18 - It is a difficult period of my life right now. Aside from usual busyness of school and work, I've had to face some harsh realities. I've done quite a bit of pondering about my story, but my writing has slowed. However, we are nearing slow season at work, which is great because the more bored I am, the more I will write.

10/24/17 - Greetings people of fanfiction. Year two is well under way and it looks like it will be longer than year one. So far there is a lot more of fleshing out of characters and their relationships, but this will also be more plot driven than the first, which I think more or less just set the stage. I'm pretty busy with life stuff lately, but I might drop a few one-shots here and there to keep things interesting. If I do, they will be little 'missed scenes' from first year, and possibly the years prior to Hogwarts. Who knows, I might do something from the perspective of the other Marauders (because let's face it: Sirius can be nearly as oblivious as Harry sometimes). Thanks for reading!

7/12/17 - Yes, hello, I am still alive and year one is finally up!! Please read and review, it makes me very happy.

5/5/17 - Hello all you crazy readers out there. I have not forgotten my promise, and in fact I have completed eight chapters of my year one story. Now that school is out, I should have more time in the evenings after work to get writing done. Don't give up on me!

2/4/17 - In case anyone is wondering, I am indeed working on year one. I am on the third chapter, but I don't like to post chapter by chapter because sometimes details change as the story progresses. As a result, you may not see anything until I am almost done with year one. Sorry, I know that means waiting quite a while, but I swear it will be worth it!

12/31/16 - As an adult I am continuing to write Sirius-based fan fiction. Once I think of a title that isn't terrible, I'll be uploading a story about his childhood pre-Hogwarts. I have no time frame in mind, but eventually this will become a series of his life through the Hogwarts years. Thanks for reading!
