Hi! My name is Sally. Thanks for being interested enough to click my profile.

The Blessing and the Curse is my first and only fanfiction. I have no plans to write any new fanfic, but I am writing some original fiction. If I ever had any news to share on my original writing I'll let you know by one of the methods below!

My beta on TB&TC was the wonderful bookbag.

Copyright (c) 2009 The Blessing and the Curse, The Black Arrow, all rights reserved worldwide. Reproduction is prohibited without written consent.

Contact me, but before you do, please know that:

No, there is no epilogue planned. TB&TC is complete! You will need to imagine your own 'afterwards'. I'm sure I could never write anything that matches your imaginings of it, so I won't attempt it.

I reserve the right to remove TB&TC from this site whenever I see fit. It belongs to me, and if I decide to take it down, I expect that I will have your respect and understanding. I see other authors vilified for taking down their story, and in my opinion it is a privilege to be able to read other people's writing for free on this site. A privilege, not a right!

Please note, at this point I am NOT authorising any more translations. Sorry. For reasons above.

I do not under any circumstances authorise anyone to repost my story on any other sites. I need to keep control of it. If you see TB&TC posted elsewhere, you can be sure that it is without my permission, and I'd appreciate it if you would ask them to remove it. I hope my decision to freely share my story online isn't abused. A link to TB&TC on your website or blog is fine, and of course you can review it or rec it if you choose to, as long as you don't reproduce the story.
