Everyday I feel older, and everyday I'm happy to realize that I am not. It isn't for fear of growing older, but for fear of being ignorant to so many life experiences.

—S. J. Iolanthe,

Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

I've been writing for a long time now, but I always seem to bite off more than I can chew. I'd engineer a plot that was too big and convoluted and before I'd even started writing I had given up on it.

But that changed when I found this site... sort of.

My only story right now is Harry Potter and the Newest Beginnings, an elaborately planned and methodical piece of work if there ever was one, HPNB is a very demanding story, and not only do I feel that I have to make it as best as I possibly can for my readers, followers and fans, but I also have to satisfy myself, and make the story live up to what I have built it up to be in my mind, as such it takes a while to get things right and I will have to stop occasionally to do rewrites of earlier chapters, but I only do it to make the story better for you the fans. The story has spent 6 months in planning (really only 3 moths of serious planning) and now it's finally seeing the light of computer screens, I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

Anyway to the 5 people who may actually bother to read all of this, I'd just like to say thank you for the support. :-)
