Preface.
Welcome to Mark's thought bubbles.
My thanks J. K. Rowling for permitting her creation, Harry Potter, to be deconstructed and re-assembled in such unique ways. The differing ideas I have read have been amazing.
Salutations all the authors who have the courage to publish their work.
I spend a lot of time in aeroplanes and way too many nights away from home in random motel rooms. Of late, my reading of choice has been fan fiction, specifically Harry Potter fan fiction. To date, I guess I've read 100+ stories.
On long road trips through regional Australia, there's only so much country radio you can listen to – if you're in coverage. There's only so much music you can listen to before you crave something else. For me, the third option is usually the Harry Potter talking books. On a long drive, listening to Stephen Fry's narration of Harry and his friend's dramas is a regular sanity saver.
Whilst reading, or listening, random ideas, thought bubbles if you like, often pop into my mind:
- Why does xxx happen?
- Wouldn't yyy make more sense?
- I wonder what would happen next if zzz happened instead.
Anyway, this is where I plan on posting them. I'll be interested in your thoughts.
Oh, by the way, Harry Potter and the Harry Potter universe is a creation of J. K. Rowling. I appreciate her allowing us to twist that universe in so many ways. I gain no material benefits from my efforts.
