Ratings Note:

There should be no reason to even rate this story so far but the rating system on many sites, confuses me greatly by its categories. So I will simply say that it is for general audiences with a more sophisticated sense of Science/Sci-fi, probably over 13 years. There will be NO (XXX) rated material, written by me anyway. However, innuendo may be present and other writers may indeed write generally harder core material. If written by me - "Steve's Place" anything one might consider inappropriate will certainly be very light, short or mild in comparison to others I have read even rated "General". There will naturally be some violence and character death but this is NOT a SEX, or even a romance related Story/Series and should be acceptable for all family members with a sense of Science and Sci-fi/Adventure/Mystery and Humor, to enjoyably read.

A Bit About Me.

First, I should say that this Story/Series is not your typical HP/British Magic community, standard type of story. It is in fact, much more written for the Science and/or Sci-fi fans, imaginative understanding and thus using four main characters from the Harry Potter stories, incorporating new directions and new directives for the four main characters to express their talents in.

Secondly, I don't write with a lot of banter, back and forth dialogue but more towards the actual story telling or narrative side of writing. Yes, there is dialogue and conversations that take place, I just don't make it a major part of my writing as most seem to do.

And Thirdly; Again, I write for an older, more Science/Sci-fi/Mystery/Adventure and some Humor type of audience that may be interested in reading something like this and very much. . . for myself, as this is how I think and this is what, and the way I like to write. Certainly there will be mistakes, if pointed out I will take steps to correct those that I miss.

If you want to read the usual HP/Magic theme story then this may not appeal to you. If however, you have a sense of Science/Sci-fi/some Mystery, Adventure and Humor, then I think this will appeal to those that have that.

If only one reader actually reads, understands and likes what I write, then I am a happy old man and I did the job I set out to do. I will also answer any questions in the SOS Potter Yahoo Group or in PMs, that anyone wishes to ask to explain anything that they didn't get clearly and I will make any changes that are suggested, that make sense to me.

I do not as a rule include any review responses or explanations anywhere in the body of a chapter or Episode as I believe story telling should speak for it self and be mostly, self explaining without the need for Author notes or review responses included in those story Chapters/Episodes. But that is just me, each to his or her own.

Having introduced you to the concept, I welcome any Writers /Authors that may wish to participate in this series to write your own, (Completed Episodes.) (10-25 thousand words there-abouts). You will be properly credited for your completed Fan Fiction SOS Potter Story Episode; should you choose to accept this mission. Think of it as any other episodic story series which can have many different writers for various episodes.

---------------------------

Series Summery.

The Star Roles in this Series are.

Harry James Potter - 1st Star; Lead Role
Dobby - 2nd Star; Lead Role
Fred Whesley - 3rd; Supporting Role
George Whesley - 4th; Supporting Role
Murphy's Law - Major Menace

Secondary Characters - May and likely will include any characters from TV series, Movies, Books or any other Fan Fiction story, if that Fan Fiction Author allows you to use their created character/s for inclusion in this series. Two such examples of Fan Fiction characters are Fangalla Marie's Eppy the House Elf and "Mr. Black in Make A Wish". How Mr. Black and Harry Potter could be two different people, I leave up to writers like Rorschach's Blot or nonjon to figure out, should either accept this mission. (see Disclaimer above).

As For Ships . . . The only ships that are likely to turn up in my writings/stories/episodes, that I actually write my self, are . . . Space Ships maybe Water Ships or perhaps even a Bathtub Battleship. My reasons are that these characters are all too young for serious, intimate relationships. This. . . H/Hr, R/H, H/G, H/C, H/NT or (H/slash anybody) etc. Is not likely to happen.

-----------------------

At the end of Harry's sixth year, Harry's life takes a direct, vertical, 90 degree, right angle turn from what we are used to. This could be classified as AU or not necessarily in Canon, although, I do try and follow canon to the end of HBP but I make NO promise it will remain that way.

In this SOS Potter series, Harry will be very independent and very much in charge of his surroundings. He will have great power, advanced technology and intelligence at his command, however, he is still a 16 year old and has most of the same failings as all teenagers. Harry will suddenly be thrust into a very responsible, new type of role, even for him, but does not have the years of seasoning, experience or wisdom as a seasoned leader of others would normally have. Therefore, he will be prone to panic and fear and will make mistakes as a result of that lack of seasoned experience.

Additionally, "Murphy's Law" plays a General role, you might even say that it is a 'Star Menace' throughout this entire series.

Harry will try and fashion his demeanor, thinking and new role after a perceived fictional character, that of Capt. Kirk as it had been one of his favorite Muggle, TV shows. Yes, even through the cracks in his cupboard he was able to watch some tele, and he has taken many valued life lessons from what he believes is the fiction of that TV show and the wisdom of some of its writers and tries to ask himself at times, what would (one of his favorite heroes) do in this situation. This is why, in his new role, he logs in as Capt. Harry J. Potter and is in fact, in charge of his newly commandeered and re-named Space Ship, The SOS Potter, and has suddenly become very responsible for the enormous power and previous mission this ship has placed at his command. He is therefore fashioning his new role and crew by the best example he can come up with, that being from a TV show from which he formed, great open minded wisdom and caring life values.

Little is known about Harry's first 10 years so it is quite possible he managed to watch and learn positive life values from some TV shows. He certainly didn't learn them from the Dursley's.
