Yes, I am alive...

Ok, I know what you're thinking. He must be archiving his stuff somewhere else, right?

Wrong. Unfortunately, I had to get a job. And Study (university level). These two together chewed out my time, and before I knew it, I had to stop writing. I hate that I have no time to continue as I really LOVE writing, and it's been so long I'll have trouble picking up where I left off, but I will attempt to. Many, many thanks for the words of encouragement and requests for continuations, it really means a lot as does the continued interest - it makes me feel ashamed I can never find the time for it.

You're all great (except people like those showcased below), and thank you for all the great times. One day soon I hope to start a blog or something, as this would allow better communication - my email tends to send a LOT of legit mail to the spam list, so don't be offended if I don't appear to recieve some messages please.

Due to my life entering a rather strange time, I may (shock and horror) have time to start writing again! If so, I'll start flooding sites with Shadow play and Demon, and I'll post a blog with links to all of them etc. I'll try to make the stories worthy of the long, LONG wait (which will be incredibly hard), but till then I'll say goodnight and wish you all a great 2008.

Thank you all again.

PS -I recently found out I came second in a best fanfic award in 2005 - slightly weird I didn't know about it before hand, but hey - was nice to read!

The following will probably contain extremely bad language and vulgarities that some people will find rather insulting. Don't worry - those people will deserve it. Most others might even get a kick out of it, I dunno, but younger readers should really think twice about scrolling down - this profile should carry its own rating right about now. PG13, people, they're just words.

Feb 12th 2007 - wow, been a while since one of these - a little comment from someone calling themselves Bolko7:

Sorry I can not read this more, just sorry. You just do stupid think why in seven Hell would Harry tell the Order what has happened now. Come on, Harry should told them as soon as possible, not after few weeks. To me it seems plain stupid. It just doesn’t Make sense, Harry is just so OOC that it is not Harry any more. Why did he told them, he should keep it secret(he did not tell them before why now) it … Wr. Sorry but it doesn’t make any sense, and I just can not read it any more it is just to chaotic in Harry action.

YOU can't read anymore? Jesus, have some consideration for me you lazy fingered psycho! "You just do stupid think why in seven Hell would Harry tell the Order what has happened now." First of all, WHY is a QUESTION, and a question should end with one of these "?" (conveniently named a Question Mark). "You just do stupid think"? Do I need to say anything more? "You just do stupid think why in seven Hell would Harry tell the Order what has happened now." ANOTHER QUESTION MARK, JACKASS! And, have you ever considered that perhaps people need some time to come to terms with things? Also, it could be that writing to someone to tell them you hear voices in your head is probably not the best way of opening an open minded dialogue. Try it - write to your doctor and say, "Sorry bother you, I hear voicy in my minding, do you think im ok." I tried to write it in a way you would understand as I'm sure the way I've been writing has flown right over your head already and has enough clearance to make it to Fiji on gliding only. And guess what, if I was writing for Canon, I would be rather bored, and I write to relieve boredom.

And back to the question in hand, Come on, Harry should told them as soon as possible, not after few weeks. Do you think maybe he was glad to have the upper hand for a change, keeping them in the dark more than the other way around? And I would like to see what kind of character interaction and plot direction you would put in your fic - "Harry wake up one mornings and made breakfast. He aten breakfast and went out to the garden to get the oldpapers. Then he noticing the bad grammer and lack of commas or proper thought behind the story turned around and killed himself in the kitchen." Go fuck yourself you inbred mut (or your sister/brother, whichever applies to your four fingered and mutated family, critique me in proper English or admit the fact that maybe your grasp of the English language isn't really good enough to read, understand and analyse a piece of literature, be it fanfiction or a book of ABCs.

I'm not going to bother going through the rest of your, ahem, 'review' as I think I've made my point.

If there is a bridge near where you live - a tall one, the kind that base jumpers use, please, do the humane thing and jump off without the aid of a bungee cord or parachute. It would be kinder to keep you out of the gene pool to protect the continuation of the species and facilitate an evolution of thought and understanding.

October 8th 2006 - Ok, just uploaded the first two chapters of shadowplay onto Ficwad and they are also up on Hpfanfic.net, and the next two chapters should be ready by sometime tonight, or possibly tomorrow. Hoping to continue uploading so that by the 16th I'm all finished and the chapters will be readable. The the new stuff! Take it easy all, I'd appreciate any kudos you wish to leave me on my review pages, but thats up to you.

~Thor

October 3rd 2006 - Well, it always helps to check if the site you want to join is by invitation only lol. Fanficauthors is just that, which means most likely I won't be uploading there anytime soon - my fics aren't quite in the league of people like ruskbyte and Kinsfire (just two of the names I recognised on the site - I reccomend you check it out, the site doesn't seem to accept mediocre writers). So I've joined ficwad and hpfanfic.net, and have started uploading shadowplay to each.

~Thor

October 1st 2006 - Just registered with Hpfanfic.net - its a small site so I won't just be adding there, but over the next week I'll be uploading Shadow Play chapters there, so by sometime next week it should be up to date and all good. I'll probably join Ficwad as well, and perhaps fanfic authors - I haven't decided on the last one yet; up until now I've only published on FFNet, despite the problems I've had here. But I guess I could post on three sites - it'll certanily make it more available to everyone, plus I get new readers (at least I would hope so) at each site. Anyway, watch this space for news of when I'm done uploading the chapters - I plan to start tomorrow, but I'm going to re-beta read each one before upload just to be sure of their quality. The site also seems pretty responsive, so people with low bandwidth and older model computers shouldn't have a problem. Anyways, thanks to all for your help,

~Thor

UPDATE: Wow, just stumbled over a couple of Honks fics I did way back when, one that got pulled from FFNet for being too 'sexually themed'. I might find time to ressurect these at some point. What do you think?

September 30th 2006 - I've had a really nice ammount of responses as to sites I can post on, so thankyou to all you cool people that care. Currently, Hpfanfic, ficwad and Fanfic authors are the main runners, mainly because the PMs I've recieved have alll been filtered by FFNet and the addresses have been deleted. If you pm me the address, please try to write it w dot fanfiction dot net, as this is the only way it gets around the damn filter. This goes for reviews and PMs, but emails are fine (as always). Thanks to these great people :

(And special thanks to Charlie, who liked my torture scene alot. Thanks, buddy!)

I'm thinking in the interests of just saving myself the arduous task of choosing, I may upload to three of the sites simulataneously, so if you have a better idea than the three I said, feel free to let me know still. Thanks VERY much to all of you who gave me an email, PM or review on the matter, it's really appreciated. Thanks again,

September 29th 2006 (about two hours later) - I've posted chapters 24 and 25 on http://shadowplayff.blogspot.com/, and they are complete. I've taken them down from FFNet, so this is the only place you will be able to read them for now. Please note this is a temporary solution, I'm still looking into other fanfiction sites, so if you have a personal favourite, don't hesitate to send me a private message with your reccomendation.

Three hours ago I turned on FFNet with the specific intention of reading the new reviews and then writing a few thousand words for the next chapter. Now, finally, I can get started on it.

Please remember the content of my story before suggesting a site, and bear in mind I will need a site that allows mild sexual and violent references, so no sites populated by five-eleven year olds, please - if they have a mature rating, then it should be ok. Thanks in advance for your help in finding me another FFArchive.

UPDATE - having checked Demon Within, I see that ALL the formatting (mainly double spaces to indicate time lapse or change of POV) have been cleared from my stories, thus pushing me off the edge of the cliff of reason and into the deep chasm of dispair and annoyance. I'm giving up on this site, I'm sorry to say. I will continue to upload the stories here, but not until the problem with the chapter-cuttting is resolved, and I will definitely be uploading somewhere else as well just so people can read exactlly what I FUCKING WROTE! I may not even upload Demon Within here, as it's not as popular as Shadow play and it's mainly the stats on Shadowplay that I want to preserve. Again, PLEASE direct me to a site that will let me upload my chapters without butchering them in the process. Thanks very much,

~Thor

September 29th 2006 - thanks a lot to Joe Fenton for pointing out a problem with the third chapter of Demon Within. Demon Within, incidentally, is on hold for the moment while I finish Shadow play - the reason being thinking up diffferent plot lines at the same time is quite taxing and leads to more cases of writers block than anything else, so for now I'm focussing on Shaodwplay, which I have planned out to the last chapter.

Also, responding to a review I got, I've just learned that for some reason the second half of chapters 24 and 25 didnt post, which has led to a very confusing transition between chapter 24 and 25. I'm not going to apologise for some technical fuck up on FFNets part, which it is - I can read the entire chapters on my computer, but FFNet will only upload the first 2742 words, and has left over half the chapter out. I have NO idea why its doing this, if someone does, let me know. For now, I will post the twenty fourth chapter somewhere else, where it might actually get UPLOADED. I'm going to look for another fanfiction site tonight and upload the story there, as the current problems with FFNet are enough to piss me off enough to give them the finger - half my chapters aren't being uploaded and when they are, they are cleared of all formatting, which includes all the fucking page breaks and POV change gaps I put in, so there is now nothing to indicate a change of time or POV. I'm fed up with FFNet over this to be honest - this year they claimed they would only be making minor tweaks as opposed to the major fucking constuction and overhaul they did last year, which not only deleted half the stories on the site but reset all the counters and annoyed the hell out of everybody. So, now the story will be posted somewhere else to get around this - as soon as I have found a suitable fanfiction site, I'll post it here and in Shadowplay's story synopsis. Till then, I'm taking down the last two chapters until I get the problem fixed (or FFnet figure out what they've got going wrong).

Take it easy all,

~Thor

August 11th 2006 - Hey all, nearing the end of my referral period. For those that dont know, I didnt do so well in my chemistry and mathmatics papers at university and got a referral in chemistry, which basically means summer work to makeup for the lost points. It sucks but it can't be helped, and it does take up alot of time. I have the plot lines for the next two chapters of Shadow Play and the next chapter of Demon within finished, just got to make the connecting parts now, which is usually the hard bit. After I've handed in my work I will take both stories off hold and start writing again.

In other news... I am considering removing Of Elves and Magic and The War of Good and Evil - neither get much attention anyway and they're quite embarrasing. Right now its just considering, but the possibility that thye may disappear is there, so don't be surprised if it happens (and you happen to notice).

Westpoint
ch 3, anon.

This fic sucks ass and your response to flamers in your profile are rather pathetic using sexual references as means of attack since you can't come up with any sophisticated intelligent response.

Wow. You know, I wasn't aware 'Sucks ass' was an intelligent and sophisticated insult. I do admire your mentality that allows you to downplay my intelligence when the concept of punctuation seems to have left you slightly behind. I guess you must have missed the class where they introduced the 'comma'. Also, you don't seem to be able to grasp the idea of using the plural of a word - I have made several responses to flamers in my profile, not a response - that would be what this is, as in one response. Also, the word 'are' is usually used in a sentence after a word with a plural context - "The people are protesting your existence," for example, or "Those gang members are about to shoot you", instead of, for example, "Your response to flamers in your profile are rather pathetic...". And 'Means of attack', in the context and syntax you are attempting to use should be, "Using sexual references as a means of attack". As a side note, I didn't really use it as a means of attack, I was merely suggesting that the person in question break the vicious cycle of incest and try a little genetic diversity, or just stop reproducing, which is far better. Well, I hope this response has been intelligent and sophisticated enough for you, please mention my name when you get to Hell for a free drink with Tantalus.

28th January - A review was left and I've posted it here in its entirety. It raises a good point that not enough flamers take into account. Here we go -

"First, let me tell you that I was doubting to post a review. That is because you are one cocky stuck up with your head in your arse bastard that just loves the attention he is getting. And you even don't deny it, you love the whole package in fact. -There is nothing so arrogant than to aknowlegde the fact that you are arrogant.- Thus posting a review about how good you are, or how ugly you are, would just boost your ego, the latter even more than the first. I just don't like giving people the feeling of such satisfaction. Secondly, I deem your stories worth of reading, in fact, they're quite good. I also enjoy reading your responses to the flames you receive, even if they are more bashing than something else.

Thirdly, I liked your last chapter. It gave me the feeling I have when I start playing an RPG.

Here we have an Harry who has an certain advantage in magic, thrust in an high-tech universe.
Will he save the day and go home? Or will he save the day and become one of the leaders? Or will he not save the day but become a dark demon lord that is set on conquering other alien nations, or other universes with the high-tech he then posses?

Anyway, keep up the work. It doesn't matter who writes it, as long as it's a decent read. Something the flamers should learn to understand."

It was left as an anonymous review which I'm a little depressed about. In fact, all the flames I've recieved (and I don't count this among them) have been anonymous, hence why I respond to them here - because I cant use the handy respond feature. Now, to the point I like - this guy doesn't like me. He thinks I'm arrogant (which may be true, I dunno, but I don't think I said I was), attention seeking (isn't everyone who writes something and has it published?) and that my ego is boosted by flames and reviews alike (and of course, I have my head up my own ass). But he likes my story, and that's what count's to me. My problem with the flamers is that they like to point out the flaws in my personality rather than my story, which is useless as, 1. they don't know me, 2. they claim their quarrel is with my fic but end up saying "You're an asshole" and 3. they are basing their views on the image I put out on this website and in my story, which is pretty small sighted but there you go.

What, you think I'm limited to boosting my ego with people who hate me? Let me get one thing straight with you - those reviews piss me off and so I vent that frustration in a response, which, because of their deliberate anonymity, has to be public, like this one. The one exception to that 'pissed off' rule is 'Harry's', because that chapter was supposed to be intense, however, I didn't like what he said so I defended myself in the way I do - with sarcasm and cynisism, both of which are part of the core of my personality. I readily admit that I am the person least qualified to judge my character by my actions, as I can only judge by my intentions. I'm sure a lot of people on this site think of me as an asshole and many other things besides, probably because of my flame bashing, and you know what? I really don't care. You're welcome to think I have my head up my ass, but I think if you met me in real life, you'd have a different view of me. You know what? Of course I love the attention I get from my stories - it keeps alive the notion that one day I may be able to get something published, and that is probably a dream of most authors on this site. But I don't want mediocrity - hell no, I don't want people to sya, "Eh, he's ok." I'd rather piss some people off and have everyone else really jazzed by my attitude and, more importantly, my work, and that's just how I am. I guess this turned into a bit of a confession about what I'm like, but that's ok, maybe it'll make people think.

There's just one last thing I want this person to know - not reviewing because you don't want to give "Such people" as me the satisfaction is something you should rethink; people are rarely what you believe them to be, for better or worse. The people on this site are wanting their work to be critiqued, and it's no good feeling to have no one think it's worthy of reviewing, because no matter what your intentions are, that is usually what the author will feel, and that sort of negativity, that mediocrity, can really damage a persons will to write. People like me, we turn the negativity around us into fuel - it's something that can keep you alive, keep your dreams alive and keep you from giving up. Those great people that give me great reviews do give me a boost, but the only boost I get from flames is when I blast them back, and I can use that to help me write. So maybe your right, maybe my ego does get boosted, but not from the attention so much, it's knowing that I may one day be good enough to get published. Thanks for the review, and for seperating the personality judging and story critique into two parts, it helps keep the important parts clear. And thank you for reading, everyone - both here and my fics. You guys are the BEST.

~Thor

December 11th - oh, here's a review I love:

Harry 2005-12-08
ch 4, anon.
"You are a sick sadistic BITCH you mother fucker you made me almost throw up and I happen to have a very high tollerance level for this kind of stuff. Shit face."

Oh Harry, you made my day. I hope you can make it reach new peaks when I experiment later and you really do throw up and that chunk of bagel gets lodged in your throat so you slowly asphixiate like Jimmy Hendrix and John Belushi before you. Please, it would make my day complete. I'll tell my mentors, Sirs Lecter and Beelzebub, that you approved of the impact of my writing, they will be most pleased. Thanks again,

Thor

November 7th - Well, I checked my reviews today to see I have a couple new ones, and this is what I'm greeted with when I read feedback for Shadowplay -

"This is a crap story. I hope you die a horrible death.
For the sake of humanity spare us your stupidity and take it down."

- Lame (Anonymous review, chap.1)

First off, I'm quite impressed that this person had the good sense to describe him (or her)self as "Lame" - it saves me the job of pointing it out for them. Another impressive feature is that this person could actually spell 'humanity', despite being the inbred hick fuck, spawn of Satan that they are. Obviously I have been misunderstanding all the feedback so far for Shadow Play - according to this one person, this one review out of 1132 (there were two previous flames from the same person, and this could very well be the same guy), everyone else is being blinded by the 'stupidity' of my fic, and it's a threat to humanity. Yeah, ok, fine, whatever you say. So yeah, let me take this moment just let you know- the Earth goes round the Sun, not the other way round, and I'm pretty certain the world doesn't revolve around you; when a scientist with a PHD tells me otherwise, I'll let you know.So you hope I die a horrible death. I hope you stop banging your siblings and get castrated/tied so you can't pollute the gene pool or the future generation with your demon cracker spawn of inbred little piles of infectious human waste that you will call your kids.Get the hell out of my face and off my page you shit spewing fuck burglar, you should have been a blowjob that sprayed onto the carpet.

In other news, everyone else's feedback has been excellent. My internet access is very limited at the moment, but I hope to get some more writing done tomorrow. Don't know when I will be able to update though, but as soon as I can, I will. The news that the hits system had to be reset is saddening, I was just about to breach 100,000 hits with shadow play (which would have been a great dirthday present), but hey - it just means I'll have to rebuild. The stats for faves, alerts and C2's weren't affected, so I still have those. Thanks to all who read and much love to those who review, you guys all rock.

-----------------------

Recently I have recieved some flames regarding my fic Shadow Play, and as I can't respond to them in my next update (as they most likely wouldn't read my next update), I think I'm going to have to do it here. These are the Reviews:

From Allison (anonymous, left in the last update):

"Sorry, to be rude, but I think this story is deteriorating more and more since you got rid of Orion. This story is getting more and more unrealistic and I've talked to a lot of other authors about this story and we've all agreed that this is becoming one big fanfic with a mixture of other fanfics put together. I think you need to take a break from writing and start back after the release of the sixth book because your writing is starting to stink to be honest. Plus I'm not a fan of female Blaise because I know for a fact a reader told you after you wrote the chapter that the Zabinis died in that Blaise was a boy and you totally bitched that author out in your profile. It was disrespectful and the more popular your story gets the more you seem to get disrespectful. Your readers are starting to think you're a cocky son of a bitch and I'm starting to agree with them. You're a good author, but the popularity is going to your head. I've been around the fanfiction world for 7 years and I think you need to get your head out of your ass and listen to your readers when they tell you something.

-Ali"

From Hate (also anonymous, left in the first chapter):

"snorts Yeah, I want you to take down your fic. Blaise is a boy not a girl and I have a huge problem with it considering you were told by reviewers immediately after you wrote the first chapter as Blaise a girl. I don't care for you as an author nor do I care for this unrealistic story. You're a very rude author...I saw your original profile after you blew up on a reviewer for telling you that Blaise was a boy and than you didn't even apologize after it was confirmed by J.K. Rowling herself. So, yeah I want your piece of shit story taken down and I'm obviously not the only one if you're bitching in your profile.

-Hater #1"

Now, seeing as these reviews were left on different chapters and not with their pennames, it's quite possible they are the same person. However, for the sake of arguement I will address them as different persons. First, Allison.

If my story is deteriorating, then telling me why is a good start. If you've spoken with a lot of other suthors, I would like them to contact me personally about the matter as they should, instead of having an anonymous middleman. Your claim (and that's what it is until you sign in to prove it) of being a member for 7 years is neither here nor there - it has no bearing on the point of your complaint and is suspect until you back it up by leaving a review from your penname. If my readers think I'm a cocky son of a bitch, then I will apologise to them, but they haven't come to me, you have, with an anonymous review. By your mentality, I've been around the 'authors' world for fifteen years, because I started reading The Hobbit with my Dad when I was 4.

I didn't realise my fanfiction was such a hot topic of conversation out of the hundreds ofthousands that are on this site, so I'll have to thank you for bringing it to my attention. As for blasting that guy who told me Blaise was a boy, you seem to have missed that I had stated - several times - that I wasn't going to change my fic entirely because JK decided on a gender for her next book after I wrote the chapter. Pointing out that you aren't a fan of female Blaise is irrelevent, your complaint was about my treatment of a reviewer, which was unfair, but I had recieved the same message twenty or so times and he knew that, and had reviewed the information merely to annoy me. If my fanfic is starting to become a mixture of different fanfics put together, then please - tell me which parts are sounding similar, as I could change the offending material for you. And just a question on the contradiction - you tell me my writing stinks, but then say I'm a good author; which am I supposed to believe? Saying I've got my head up my ass - hey, I probably have, but I never claimed otherwise, and pointing out the faults in my character are hardly relevent to a review for one of my fanfiction pieces. This is me listening, Allison - you're just not saying anything of use. And for the record, none of the people who review my fic have said I'm a cocky son of a bitch. A couple of them, in response to your review, have assured me I am not.

Here's a review I got from a reader concerning your 'comments', allison -

Neferseba (and a SIGNED review - take a hint, ali): Ok... I read your profile and saw the flame about this FF... Dear Allison.. if I were you, I would think about who is a totally bitched son of an asshole.. Go, sign yourself up and write a story.. it's damn hard to get ONE REVIEW.. and then.. look how many reviews this story has... if you don't like Blaise as a woman... sorry, but nobody can help you... When I first heard the name Blaise I was sure that this is a woman... common.. should he remove the whole damn good story, just 'cause a little asshole like you doesn't like Blaise as a woman... dream on.. AND BTW; YOU WERE(or better: ARE) RUDE!

Thor I don't think you're bitced up someone; and everyone has the right to write what he likes...and I hope we'll get the next chapter soon and that the chapter will be like the others have been: unique... update soon ;)

To Hater #1.

About the Blaise thing (again) - I already knew about the confirmation and it was already in my story. If you don't like my story, no one ever forced you to read it, sorry if you think it's unrealistic, I'll think about putting an AU sticker on the front for you. I'm a rude author - sure, ok, but you can't say I don't give people the chance to have their opinion - look, I've put your review on my profile page. You want my story taken down, I'm sorry to hear that. I will note that you did not sign in for this review, so I could just delete your review and be done with it, but I'm not going to - you have an opinion on my story, and you decided to express it in an offensive way. Considering this, which of us is ruder?

Remember, both of you - as a writer on FFNet, I will take advice from other authors. If I start getting reviews from people who do have stories and are acomplised fanfic writers, telling me that I should consider taking my stuff down, then I will most likely listen to them and forget the whole thing. Telling me these things in an anonymous account means absolutely nothing to me except that you either couldn't back up your claims or that your just trying to annoy me. Sign in when you next leave a flame, I'm not gonna flame you back just for the sake of it - I'm not THAT much of an asshole, and I have more integerity than that. So get all the authors that have been reading my fics and ask them to make their opinions known, but don't do it through anonymous reviews, because it won't mean anything.

To point out the evidence that these are the same person, just for a filler - Both use the same wording - Unrealistic story, bitching in my profile, zabini, zabini, zabini, they have the same way of signing off, left on the same day and on different chapters. No smoking gun, by any means, but enough circumstantial to convince. To that person - get a hobby. Do something that's hard and demanding and very subject to the recipient, pour all your time and energies into it, and then have someone tell you to destroy it because its not any good, because its a little abstract or because not ALL the details are exact. Then, my friend, you will understand the feelings you evoke in people when you write crap like this.

Well, now that that's done with, sorry for taking up the space on my profile and anyone reading this who isn't Allison and Hate.

Stories Info - Of Elves and Magic was my first serious piece, despite the story I had done before it (now removed cuz it was made in a constant state of disregard for plot), and is of Harry finding out his backgrounds and unlocking some serious powers. The War of Good and Evil is the sequel, and I plan to make a third, although I have hanged plots half way through these stories so many times that it will be hard to finish it cleanly-the many OCs once had a part in the grand scheme of things, altho now they are just line fillers i suppose. Feedback on these has been great though, and I am proud just the same.

Shadowplay was my second serious piece, using some discarded plots I had envisioned for use with OEAM and TWOGAE, and a couple ripped right out and revamped, glossed over and toned down so you won't recognise them at first glance. Harry does inherit new powers in this fic, although he is much less omnipotent and more dark. This fic has more ships (Harry/many) and is, in my mind, more realistic to the OEAM series, if a story about magic can be called realistic. The main plot about Harry is his fusing with an ancient spirit named orion, and his using the 3000 year old, forgotten knowledge that Orion dishes out amongst raging hormones and battles with old Voldie. I've kept to the idea that Harry is, unfortunately, human, and so he will not be as wise or knowledgeable in this fic as he was in my last, but he will be powerful - a volatile mix that should prove... interesting. So far reviews have been great, except for one thing which I'd like to clear up - Blaise Zabini.

I do know that Blaise Zabini has been confirmed as a boy character, but a lot of you seem to think I haven't been informed. Now come on, what the hell do you want me to do? The story's written, I'm not gonna change Blaise's character now, it would be unfair to ask me to do so. Maybe I will someday and make it an OC, I don't know, but please stop telling me what I already know.

If you have any comments/suggestions, feel free to leave them in a review or email them to me at Thor_nairda@yahoo.co.uk
