Hello, everyone! Welcome to my new and improved version of my very first story that I ever published on this site, Light in the Dark World. This story was originally published on October 20th, 2005. I was in eighth grade at the time, and you can really tell that I was by the rushed nature of the writing. Therefore, I am going to go back and redo the whole story, now that I have more experience, and have found my own style of writing. I went through and re read my story, and it is very rushed, with no real descriptions of scenes or settings, and every chapter starts right with the main action, there's no build up of tension beforehand. It all kind of goes like, "Hey guys, here's a chapter! OH GOD! DRACO MALFOY HAS A PET DRAGON THAT IS WEARING A TU-TU AND IS GOING TO WOO HERMIONE WITH IT! AND NOW THERE'S RADIOACTIVE SLIME ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR NO APPARENT REASON!"
I hope you guys enjoy this new version of the story. As a consolation to the people who told me that they loved the original version while I was writing it: NEVER FEAR! I have kept the same plot, the same main action points, and the same character development. I just went through and added more depth to the story. I also might go back and redo the sequel, which never got finished, due to my lack of ideas. I guarantee nothing though, as I will be the first to admit that I cannot write original stories, because I lose interest in my own ideas too quickly.
Okay, so the real point of this Author's note was because I want there to be twenty chapters, and one of the chapters in my original story was about 4 sentences long, so I am just going to combine it with the previous chapter, and that would leave me with nineteen chapters, and I have a thing about odd numbers...I'm weird, I know. Accept it and move on. If you would like to open a new tab in your browser with the original story in it to compare, you can copy and paste this address: .net/s/2627190/1/Light_in_the_Dark_World. Weird. When I went to publish the story, the whole address wouldn't go on. you'll have to just type the first part of this websites address before the .net yourself. Sorry.
I hope you guys enjoy the story!
