Apparently, I was supposed to post here about twenty posts ago. My apologies... I have yet to introduce myself. Good enough. Here goes nothing and everything.

I'm an 18 year old guy enjoing the summer at his parents house before he starts college at Norwich U. in Vermont. I work full time for a moving company so I'll probably just be appearing nights and weekends. My posts are often full of sarcasum, and if you take it personally, that may or may not be my intent. I'm an obsessive HP fan who has read more pages of fanfiction than all the text I've read in the past 12 years of school. And what has it taught me? Well, it's taught me that most people can't write, and a few can.

The HP book six platform left huge varied possibilities for fanfiction, but I don't believe that book six leaves much to work with. I haven't read a fanfic since the release of six, which I am in my fourth reading. I though the book to be the best of the series so far, by a long shot.

I won't return to fanfiction untill I've read HBP five times cover to cover- so that I can keep a level head amongst all the incorrect information that will be undoubtably released within them, like people brewing felix felices in a week.(for the record it takes over six months)

I like to type, I like to discuss HP and I have a few theories. So you'll probably see a bit of me, now and then. I also have one challenge- write a H/Hr story that makes some sort of sence. This is the challenge for myself and everyone else. I know it isn't going to happen, but it's a fic form that can come off as a really great twist if done well. I look foward to the attempts. I doubt many will sound err... feasible... but it's possible. Just really really hard. Therefore the challenge.

Awesome intro, and welcome to HPC! I can totally relate to the HPFF part of it, lol. "wow!" about the fourth reading... already. Personally, I didn't find the sixth book as good as the others, so I haven't done the usual read-it-again-because-you-can thing. Maybe I'll get around to it some day... And I totally don't agree with the H/Hr FF. Those are, in my opinion, the worst kinds of FF. Of course, you're right about the twist thing, but so far I haven't read a story that's pulled it off.

Welcome... again

Hello i'm Shelby and I believe I will have a lot of talking to you, although you are quite a few years older than I am. I also believe I can give you a run for your money!!!
