12.14.08 So, to be honest, I haven't really updated with news about my stories because I've been feeling guilty. All this while, I've been promising updates and then, nothing. I was working on them, I really, really was. But then, around the beginning of November, my hard drive crashed and took all of my fanfic along with it. I've been stumbling along ever since. I've tried finding all my back-ups and re-writing them again, but I didn't have any heart in it...until now. Now, I am going to try my hardest and my best to write them all over again to be bigger and better and I will update. Please don't give up on me. I still love hearing from you and reviews are always appreciated.

Stick with me, and I'll tell you a story.

All my love,

~Turtle

I'm Turtle. I like things like reading and writing. If I didn't write to empty my head, I'd go mad. I believe in the beauty of words and how they can create a sense of life that gnaws at us. I love the swirl and swing of them as they tangle with human emotions. I absolutely adore books and what they have to offer every time you dive into their pages--an instant break from the world. I'll kill you with kindness. Things almost never go exactly the way I want them too and it's frustrating. Then there are some people in this world whom I just want to run up behind and wax their chin, honestly. :D

I'm a writer, I'm a reader, I'm a nerdfighter, I'm a youtuber, I'm a potterhead, I'm a geek, I'm a dork, I'm a horrid perfectionist, I'm eternally pessimistic, I'm a fanfictioneer, I'm a british wannabe, and I love the way I am.

I, The Awkward Turtle, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I read, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.

The Sober Universe

I am a supporter of the Sober Universe (SU)
I refuse to believe that JKR's recent revelations regarding post-DH ships are canon. I subscribe to the Sober Universe where we can use our imaginations to decide who ended up with who, and where my version is as true as yours.

JKR has given us a wonderful universe to play with, but she has finished writing the books. Either she should have given us a decent epilogue to DH, telling us what we wanted to know, rather than what we could have guessed, or she should have kept her ideas about post-DH events, ships and names to herself. It is my personal belief that if she had actually tried to write any of the ships that are now "canon" (particularly George/Angelina), she would see that they do not work.

I am aware that, by its very nature, fanfiction is not "canon", and cannot ever truly be canon. However, for those who showed enough respect to Jo Rowling to make every effort to keep their fics in line with her vision - some of her recent decisions have been rather disappointing. Had she included any or all of this information at the end of Deathly Hallows, that would have been wonderful - I'm sure many of us would have preferred a more fully complete edition of the Epilogue, which we were not afforded. I love the universe Jo gave us in first seven books but beyond hardback canon, the only canon I stick to, if it isn't AU, will be SU canon.
