At the BEGINNIG there was Cartographer´s Craft, a fanfiction from HP universe, with depth and characterization which left me in awe. When someone made a writer with personality and his own bibliography to give his fanfic depth, then it is awesome in its own way. (more about biblo here
sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/72608.html) And when you read excerpt from his last book in A fanfiction... which its poetic and slightly slashy, who would want more? (retoric question)
So after year of waiting, there was the real Animagus Winter. But now its lost all the ground of HP fandom. (I can understand it - why not write something that stand alone and doesnt need the footing from someone´s else world? something that is more than a fanfiction?)
But for me, it lost all the silent magic, hidden between the lines. I was disappointed.
When the second draft was here, it was better, the magic and the style was back. It was not perfect, but it was more.
And when the final version was there, it was time to greet
Nameless and bid goodbye to idea of
Animagus Winter. But it was worth of it.
...The story about a small town near Chicago with its gossips, problems, tradition. Only disruption is a arrival of stranger - young man, who doesnt belong anywhere. But his searching for place in this world and for love....
