Jul. 15th, 2008 06:07 pmStupid LiveJournal is telling me the post is too large again, so I will have to link you to FanFiction.net. Sorry about that.

The Alchemist - Chapter 73
Jul. 12th, 2008 05:09 pmAuthors Note: Some of the dialogue in this chapter was taken directly from pgs 595-604 of the American Versions of J.K. Rowlings "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".
I would also like to take a moment to apologize for the fact that it has been nearly three weeks since an update on this story. I have been out of the country on vacation, and not had time to write. I hope to get back on track with my writing schedule now that I have returned, so you can all look forward to some new chapters in the week ahead. Again, thank-you to all of my readers for your continuing encouragement and support.

Random thoughts on Trelawney
Apr. 9th, 2008 10:52 amI don't know why, but this morning when I woke up I was thinking about Trelawney and why Dumbledore kept her at the school all those years when she was quite obviously a poor teacher, and a drunk to boot. I hardly think it was out of the goodness of his heart.
There were a few motivations I could think of, the first being that she does sometimes give out accurate prophecies, and seeing as that is the case, Dumbledore might have wanted to keep her close just in case she ever had anything else useful to say. He may have also thought that her life would be in danger if due to the fact that she had been the one who delivered the original prophecy about Harry (the one that was destroyed in the ministry incident). But then I also wondered if he possibly kept her around as a constant reminder to Severus, sort of a way of daily reminding him of his betrayal, keeping the guilt and shame of it alive, if you will, just to make sure he stayed loyal. That's fairly sick, to be sure, but there are alot of things that I just didn't understand about Dumbledore after "Deathly Hallows".
Just some musings...

The Alchemist - Chapter 50
Mar. 29th, 2008 08:15 pm Well, here we are at chapter 50! We are about 1/3 of the way through now. I really want to thank all of you who are taking this journey with me. You don't know how much it means to me to hear all your feedback and thoughts on this story, the characters and the human drama we are all experiencing together. This story has come to mean so much to me. These characters are infinitely precious to me, and I feel so blessed to have met so many wonderful people along the way. So thank-you.
This is a short chapter, but it made me cry to write it. I hope you enjoy.

The Alchemist - Chapter 47
Mar. 23rd, 2008 09:23 pmWarning: The rating of this chapter is definitely mature for depictions of love making, sensuality, etc.. I just wanted to make sure you were properly warned. I suppose now you know that you are about to get a taste of what you have all been waiting for. I hope you enjoy! Oh, and the chapter is too long for Live Journal again, so I have linked you to my fanfiction account. If you are reading it here, and if it isn't too much to ask, I would really appreciate it if you commented here rather than at fanfiction.net. It sounds weird, I know, but the comments go to different email accounts and I try to keep them seperate... Rather anal I know. Sorry about that.

The Alchemist - Chapter 45
Mar. 18th, 2008 08:53 pmThanks to all of you who responded to my post this morning. It apparently helped me get past my writer's anxiety. Chapter 44 will be left as it is. I wrote this chapter in 2 hours (!!!) and am very happy with it. I give the credit to Severus and Lily. They are just so inspiring I can't stay away! Here you are then:

The Alchemist - Chapter 22
Feb. 10th, 2008 09:14 pm Wow, I'm on a role today! I suppose I owe it to you all after taking so long to update.
I do want to add a warning to this chapter for domestic violence. I don't think that it is enough to push the rating from PG13 up to mature, but if that sort of thing bothers you then you may want to skip the flashback in the second half of this chapter. It is a little graphic.
That being said, I hope you enjoy. Here is

The Alchemist - Chapter 19
Jan. 29th, 2008 06:09 pmPlease accept my deepest apologies for not updating sooner. I was sick and then I had to travel for work, and then I got sick again. Sheesh… I hate cold and flu season. Anyway, I am getting better now and ![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
spikesminx was nice enough to remind me that tomorrow is Lily’s birthday, so I thought I had better post something or risk getting the pants hexed off me by Severus for not showing her birthday the proper respect.
Hmm… Come to think of it, I don’t think have my pants hexed off by Professor Snape would really be an effective hex because…. Ahem… Never mind.
“Hermione had darted ahead to fulfill her prefect’s duty of shepherding the first years, but Ron remained with Harry.”
So without further ado, here is:

My day for posting videos
Jan. 21st, 2008 05:16 pmWell, this seems to be my day for posting videos here, doesn't it. I found this on YouTube and just couldn't help myself. I'm not big on fan videos but this girl has her editing down pat and her videos are very well done (plus I love Joaquin Phoenix and the movie "Quills", even if Mr. Phoenix is a bit too lovely to play Severus). She has disabled embedding, so I guess I will just have to link you. The video is "The Phoenix Lament". Also worth checking out while you are at her page is "Call Me When You're Sober". Oh, what the hell, I'll put a link to it here too. Hope you enjoy!

The Alchemist - Chapter 17
Jan. 8th, 2008 09:46 am Sorry this took so long. It was a little hard to get back into the swing of things after the holidays. I will try and get Chapter 18 out this week as well. After that I will be out of town for a week on business, so it may be awhile until I get Chapter 19 up. Here you go:
