Author has written 10 stories for Harry Potter.
Ah, the wonderful world of fanfiction. The wonderful world of Harry Potter. The world which I will no longer truly be a part of.

I have grown, developed, and overall changed, both as a writer and as a person, since I began writing my fanfics. I have had a wonderful time writing and reading all things Harry Potter related. And while Harry Potter is still a wonderful and fascinating story that I love to read and inspires me to aspire as a writer, I feel that I can no longer do my fanfics justice. I have been trying to write, and waiting for inspiration to hit, since the summer began, and it has gotten me nowhere. I feel that, since I am no longer the same writer I used to be, it would shame my simple fanfics to try and change them to suit my new style.

I will still, of course, read the new matserpieces that many people will still spout off, but I don't feel that I can write anymore of my own.

If anyone reads this and requests that I finish a certain story, I will do my best to acquiese to your request, but I cannot garuntee that the results will be at all satisfactory.

I am not giving up on these stories. I am simply moving on and embracing the changes I have undergone. I cannot write my fanfics and continue to remain me, the most vital part fo any indiviual essence any great writer must be.

And so, while I may now and then spout off short ficlets when the inspiration hits me, I am afraid that I must bid the fanfic writing world of Harry Potter adieu.

I will still be in love with reading the wonderful Lily & James fics that you all turn out, and any other inspiring works I may find, but I can no longer reciprocate such work on my already-posted stories under good conscience.

I want to thank any and all of you who reviewed my stories. You inspired me to keep writing and aspiring to improve. You gave me such joy to know that someone appreciated my work, and any who flamed me simply urged me to push forward, and write more.

And I will continue writing. It is one of my favorite things to do in life, and I will not stop now.

I will be writing on fictionpress.com under the name gryffcat as soon as I progress a little further in a fantasy I am writing, and I do have several songs already posted, if anyone is interested.

Until my fanfic muse returns or when I feel that I can write fanfiction again, I wish you all luck in your aspiring greatness. There are great things ahead of any who are brave enough to try.

Never stop trying. Don't be afraid to move on. Learn the difference.

Much love to you all, and especially to my reviewers,
