The fanfiction you see below is being written for the The Harry Potter Not-Sue Challenge, and yes, I do understand the apparent sue-ish qualities inherent in it. The point is to "write with a handicap," i.e., "Can you produce a good story using an original character with the following sue-bits?" I won't lie, it's been a lot of fun, and I do hope that it's good.

I'm sorry for the delay and general lateness, but I am juggling grad school, an editing job, a meager social life, and a few hobbies besides Harry Potter fanfiction. The story is set in the Epilogue era, and I have tried to research and do my homework - when JKR says something, I will attempt to include it (Although there are a few details currently present which, if she were to contradict, I couldn't exactly change. I guess I'm not any more perfect than the rest of you).

I've also tried to mirror much of the structure and "feel" of the books themselves. To what degree I did remains to be seen, but it's still a lot of fun working and practicing on this. I hope you can get a kick out of it, too! Amusingly, this has made it hard to categorize the story - what genre are the books really in, after all? The character listing is not a pairing, it's simply a way to state that A: this is set in Epilogue-land, where everything is happy and the streets are made of chocolate blah, blah, blah, and B: there is an OC in here. That last bit is part of the challenge rules, of course.

Thanks, and enjoy (And review, please, of course)!
