FicWad

Hello, Hatter (Not the mad one, I presume?)

Thank you for your kind words. It was a long, tumultuous and often aggravating, yet wholly enjoyable part of my life. Kinda like raising my daughter. Crossovers are difficult to write because one must had a ‘feel’ for both ‘verses. I was fortunate, as I enjoy reading both, and have an eidetic memory, and most importantly, I limited the exposure to a specific set of books. Trying to include everything leads to trouble.

There are quite a few very good Harry/Ginny stories our there, ‘The Long Road Home’ and ‘Ginny’s Gift’, both by Ashwinder, are two of my favorites. I believe there would be fewer objections to the Harry/Ginny ship if Rowling had developed the little carrot’s character.

That you joined FicWad just to review my story is a huge complement for me. I thank you. (Bows in gratitude) I’ve been considering posting on FF.n, but their policies just keep getting weirder.

Sister. It’s been nearly two years now, and I find myself missing her still. She had the most unusual sense of humor, and was a walking encyclopedia. Three years before she died, she earned two baccalaureate degrees (English Literature and Social Anthropology) and took Cum Laude in both. She spoke four languages and could swear in twelve. (I only speak three and curse in seven…Le Sigh!)
She didn't even follow the Harry Potter fandom, preferring The Lion King, and yet, would take time to offer much needed (and often unappreciated) critical advice. Having an expert on literature, the English language, Mythology and anthropology, leaning over your shoulder making snarky comments about your writing can be a pain, but it does cut down on research time.

Don’t worry about the jobs. As a carpenter, all jobs are temporary. In fact, I believe construction is the only trade where you actually work to put yourself out of work. (Odd, I know, but there it is.)
Until the next post.
