Hey people biggrin.gif

Haven't logged in the forums for...a long time...
Few, if any of you remember me...after the last book came out, I haven't been terribly active on the forums, and real life demanded my attention a bit too much...school currently takes a big chunk out of it.

On that note, when it comes to updating my stories...there are a few on the schedule...

Full Circle: A Second Turn - been in the works for a about a year and a half, and I will focus on getting ahead over Christmas...

A Strike Upon the Hour - the unnamed sequel - has been planned out, and just needs to be written...those plans were unfortunately frozen in September, but will be thawed out soon too, I hope...

As well, a Christmas oneshot...which I might post tonight as the first story I've written on my almost new laptop...biggrin.gif


All in all, it's good to be back...look out for me in the fanfic section. smile.gif

Welcome back to you as well. I also remember you. Real life is the enemy of the fan fiction author, isn't it? I've had issues with it as well. Hopefully some of the other older authors will come back as well and we can bring life back to the fan fic side of the site.

Hi there! Yeah, a lot of us PK-ers go onhiatus for lots of reasons. Anyways, I've been reading this story. The author notes sing praises for your work as beta for that fic. Good job!

Thanks man...I appreciate it smile.gif And yes, the real world is indeed the enemy...I haven't written anything in nearly 4 months, and that oneshot got put on hold for lack of creativity and too much politics over last term...

And yeah, Cauldson Eagle's story is one, which I've been beta-ing since last year, and currently the only one which I have time for...I like it as much as you do, and the way the drafts are written leaves little work for me...biggrin.gif

Again, thanks guys!

Hey,
I've definetely seen your name crop up loads when I'm browsing through the forums and some of the early DH discussions! Welcome Back to PK! Nice to have you back here!

I think we all understand the need to take a break, and hiatuses. Don't worry there are some authors who haven't literally updated in several years *ofcourse I don't judge them even if the story is fantastic tongue.gif RL gets in the way* Anyways welcome back, and hope to see you in the boards smile.gif

Fire,

Thanks for the welcome. smile.gif I see you're one of the more recent supermods...congrats on the appointment, although my timing does suck...tongue.gif
I'll be working towards a more consistent presence...and yeah, the DH discussions was the last time I was considerably active...

And yeah, I've seen the same thing...amazing authors, who haven't updated in years...don't want to become one of them tongue.gif Thanks again, and i'll be coming back in style...

It's 2:00am, and I'm starting it...I've put it off long enough...

Do you write by chance? smile.gif
Along with that, FCII will also be getting an overdue update...and thank you. biggrin.gif
Just between you and me, I'm planning a story along the lines of the Gladiator further down the road...watched the movie, and I think it'd make an amazing storyline...

I remember you!

Welcome back! Glad to see you haven't been lost to the cobwebs yet wink.gif

Real life really is the killer of fanfiction authors, especially my favourite D/G ones. I'm also trying my best not to become one of them. Good luck with your fanfics!

Oh don't worry, I am up at absolutely barmy hours writing something because it struck me, I think all writers have experienced this before. Actually, I don't TECHNICALLY write, like no I'm not a PK-Author or anywhere actually, but yes I do write - umm by myself, and I need a beta if I want to remotely post something tongue.gif LOL! O-M-G. There was a period when my parents were obsessed with Gladiator, and I curled up to watch that movie and it really stuck with me. I would be BEYOND interested to see that written! Good luck! If you dooo. Ahh this is torture tongue.gif

I typically write in the wee hours of the morning...'s the only time i have biggrin.gif
FF.net is a good place to get started...I post my stories on there too, but I haven't been keeping up lately...their statistics page is amazing...it shows visitors to your stories by country. biggrin.gif If you wanna do a short story, I can go over it and tell you how it is...for the next 20 days, I'm free as a bird on crack...

I have experience adapting movie storylines to HP...I did it with the Titanic, and it's a story, called My Heart Will Go On...some name confusions in it, but it's all explained...hopefully it'll alleviate your impatience while I get my othe stories done...tongue.gif
