Writer's Notes
I can't say author's notes, it feels a trifle arrogant to label myself as such G but I wanted to share a few thoughts about the story and the posting thereof.
First I thought it interesting to note that this is not the story I had intended to write. I was reading Lord Dwar's "Harry Potter and the Summer of Change" at and the bit about the Department of Mysteries made me think about the Time Turner and the havoc one could wreak with such a device. Given the hard time I though Hermione must have had during her third year I mused that she might seek companionship with the only person in the world who truly understands her, herself. Unfortunately (or fortunately since I've received resoundingly positive feedback for "Sleepless Nights") another story soon began to emerge and I found myself going in a completely different and unexpected direction. I may get around to writing the Time Turner story eventually, but only time will tell on that one.
The second thing I wanted to share was my thanks. Those of you who took the time to review or message me about the story, or simply subscribed in the hope of seeing more of my efforts at fiction, have greatly eased the anxiety of my first posting. I'm very pleased that people are enjoying it, but also wholeheartedly welcome the opinions of those who may not, along with any tips, hints, or constructive criticism which might help me improve my skills to the point where I might be comfortable with the title of author.
