Author's Notes

Dear Reader,

If you are reading this, you have reached the end of my first fic, Domino One. Thank you for your support and reviews. Understand this: I am extremely busy and hardly have any time to write. This is unfortunate, as writing seems to be one of my few vents of stress, and I hardly have any time to do it. Sometimes, my passion to write is outweighed my exhaustion, laziness, or annoying bouts of writer's block. But it is your reviews and support that keep me going. So that you for 1) making me finish my fic, and 2) taking time to relax.

Domino One began with Harry Potter Role Playing Game (RPG). No dice, no user manuals. just a bunch of people from a variety of age groups just wanting to have a little fun. And the more the story developed, the more I wrote. Soon, my character, some nutty American girl named 'Ana Anblick' became a deep, complex character. Two years of (obsessive) thinking led to where we are now, and I am not done yet. You have just read part one of the Anblick Saga. It will be a trilogy (God willing), when I am through. At the end of Domino One chapters, I would promise a chapter out "soon," or make what turned out to be empty promises about an update in "one month," "two months," etc. I can only laugh when you ask me when the next fic will be out. I don't know.

Tentatively named Midnight, I will be writing the next fic in one unit, and none of this posting-a-chapter-when-I'm-done-with-it business. I've written myself into too many corners already, and it's just smarter to do it that way. Furthermore, Order of the Phoenix will more than likely shed some information on the relationship of the Mauraders, and the character of Lily. If JK Rowling goes in the direction that I think she will, I can probably tell you that my next fic may not be canonical - meaning, that I may write it with only the information we have at the end of Goblet of Fire (e.g. if we find out Peter is a transvestite in OoP, I will probably write my fic using the character of Peter that I have developed, not JK). So that's just a warning.

About the symbolism in this fic, and I assure you, it is there. Basically my fic is a horribly embellished Bible story, which you may not understand until the next segment. But if you read carefully in Chapter Fourteen, and you investigate the development of places/characters in a way that I don't expect you to, you may see it for yourself.

In closing, stars be kind, especially to those who have worked with me to create this monster of a fic. For those of you who don't know, Ola, who is getting married in a week, has been my source of reassurance and advice before many chapters were posted. She also is the original creator of Berenice, and whose model of Remus I used for my fic. So hats off and thousands of praises to her. To my good friends in Louisiana, thanks for the encouragement, keep writing, and stay away from alligators, ya'll. To Ashely, Vespera, and Aaron, wherever you are, HP forever. Tessa, Lyz, Soon- to-be Dr. Karen, Jaderising, Krissy, Stephanie, Elusive Kat, Marvoless, Kiki, Twinkle Toes, Eleanor Branstone, Dracar, Belle, Rikka, Jess, Brasenia, Frootloop, and "Disturbed Dreams," and anyone who I've missed, I couldn't have done it without you.

Until next time,
