Well, it's been an age since I've updated my profile so thought on this rainy sunday afternoon I'd quickly write a few words. HP & the seventh horcrux is nearly finished. Taken me an age and there was several occasions when I almost gave up, feeling that it just wasn't as good as Marcello. However, I have slogged on regardless, and in my eyes it makes a pleasant read even if it can't be claimed to be amazing.

I still have three ideas of which story line to follow up next... though I am also toying with the idea of trying for my own novel (rest assured, I will be putting a lot more work into gramma/details to even have a chance of getting it published!!). But just to give you prior warning that these stories may no longer hold priority. Sorry.

Anyhows, sequel to Marcello is still rattling around in my imagination, and little snippets here and there on paper. I'm a little fearful that it isn't going to be what you would like it to be though. I can always put flashbacks in to Harry's life, but I'll tell you now there will be no other original characters (except maybe Fawkes!!).

I also have started playing around with the missing years between last chapter and epilogue, which seems to be the craze of writing at the moment... the idea's are there, but are so similar to those already part written that I might just give this a miss.

Finally, I do have another AU fic that will be based in Harry's sixth year... really not going to write anymore on that idea at the moment. I might just start posting once I review and amend the first couple of chapters. It has the most written so far out of the three ideas so might be the one I pursue... but we'll see.

Right, better get on and finish the Battle of Hogwarts... I'd really hate to leave you all waiting so long will make every effort to get chapters up as soon as they're written.

Don't forget to review, I enjoy hearing from you all.

Oh, an in addition to below entry - I'm finally out of that dead-end job and now loving what I do!!

Take care, y'all. Kit. xx

Hi folks - long time no speak!!

Just thought that I'd let you lot know that i haven't dropped off the edge of the planet - but life hit hard and now i'm a 25year old working woman!!

I have still been reading lots (though admittedly not reviewing - sorry folks, but there are still a lot of great reads out there!), and have recently been bitten once more by the writing bug.

I have two, possibly three stories in the pipeline.

First - HP & the Seventh Horcrux. I started writing this before the DH came out - and whereas I know there are a lot of similarities, this was all my own work. The plan was finished before DH came out and most of the important parts were drafted out as well. I'm not going to be taking any profit or credit for this story - i'm just finishing it 'cause I hate leaving anything unfinished and have enjoyed where its gone so far.

Second - I haven't named it yet but takes place after DH completely ignoring what happened in the epilogue. I would go into more detail, but its still in the scribble stage and I hope that, whereas it isn't completely an original idea (I've read similar stories that have been applied to Harry earlier in school life), I think i could make it work in a post-Voldemort world.

Third - I have long since had idea for a sequel for my own fic - Marcello School. I even have the first couple of chapters written. However, even though I know where it wants to go, I'm having trouble creating the bad side. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear from you. Bearing in mind that this story will be set long time into the future - completely new characters (apart from Harry of course!).

Finally - I haven't as much time on my hands as I used to. Because of this DO NOT expect regular updates. I promise to do my best, and the more you review the more addicted I'll probably become. I'm going to focus on getting my stories up and posted in the above order. I apologise in advance for the long silent periods, but rest assured, if I start to post something, it will eventually get finished.

Once more, a bit about who I am.

25, Female from South-West England. I'm a manager now (hence lack of time), though hopefully to break from a dead-end job and try to find something more exciting!! I love Harry Potter stories, and whereas I love the originals, I also love to read everyone elses ideas as there are some very good ones out there!!

Will post soon. Kit. xxx
