Authors Notes:

14-Dec-2012:

Harry Potter and the Founder's Chamber started.

In reading chapter 14 of ‘On the Wings of Dragons’ by Bobmin356, they recommended some short story from ‘AlaskanKing’ (‘The Last Potter in England’ story number 6028270). A very good Harry /Hermione short story.

‘AlaskanKing’ also had was a challenge where Harry claims Hogwarts (‘Lord Hogwarts Challenge’ Story number 6786218).

To summarize the challenge:

Harry assumes the title of Lord Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and Protector of the Mystical Forest (Now called the Forbidden Forest) and is answerable only to the Crown. Ancient Treaties come back into play.As Head of 5 Most Noble and Most Ancient families, Harry must wed/betroth women to reestablish the family lines. (6 if Harry is Lord Black too).

This is an Alternative Universe (AU). Anything can happen, however, there will be NO sex scenes.

I decided to take a shot at it, even if it only turned out to be a one shot story. A lot depends on if I have time and interest in working on it in the future.

Idea for a new Harry Potter story. (Basis for HP and the FC - see above)

I'm thinking about writing a story where Harry has just left Dumbledore's office after being told the Prophecy.

Yes, that means Sirius is dead, and Dumbledore has been holding important information from Harry since he entered the world of magic.

Blinded by grief and anger, Harry somehow arrives at a certain location on the seventh floor, and starts pacing back and forth while thinking 'I need someone to help me make sense of all this. Why have all the 'adults' in my life been taken before I could get to know them?'

He is brought out of his thoughts when a door appears before him.

Wondering what the Room of Requirements has in store for him, Harry turns the handle and walks in...

Possible titles:

o - Room of Requirements: Guidance Counselor
o - Harry Potter and the Heart of Hogwarts
o - Where can I turn for Truth?
o - Harry Potter and a Chance to Prepare
o - Harry Potter and 'Dallas' Season Eight
o - Harry Potter and the Great Pensive

Please let me know what you think of this.

25-Oct-2011 - I can't believe I forgot to update my Profile regard Essences of Lily being complete!

As most of you know, I finished my latest story on 16-Oct-2011. I must say it has been fun and somewhat rewarding. Now when I read a story I have a little better understanding as to all the hard work and time some of these authors put in to write such wonderful Fan Fictions.

Some times I wish we could be like the Star Trek universe where it seem like there are thousands of titles that actually get published and sold at the local Wal-Mart store. I would love to see some of Jeconais', Bobmin's or Aaran St Vines from FanficAuthors.net, or Bobmin356, Brent Braten, Clell65619, (or the one that started my interest in Fan Fiction) RossWrock in paperback. I think they are that good.

Yes, I know some of those authors listed in FFA are the same as in FF, but sometime people like reading from one site more than another.

Well, Thanks for Reading. The jury is still out as to if there will be a sequal. Let me know what you think.

Harry / Hermione
Harry / Tonks
Harry / Bellatrix (if done right. See Earl of the North by Lord Silvere)
Harry / Gabrielle (See 'Hope' by Jeconais at jeconais(dot)fanficauthors(dot)net)

Things that will never happen:

Harry / slash
Draco having any redeeming qualities
Snape having any redeeming qualities
