A/N from H_HrFan: This collaboration has been an incredible experience to this point. I am writing things I'd never be able to write and I am having more fun then I ever thought possible with this type of writing. I'm still learning, but HarrynHermione is so great, wonderful, and patient that I just (I think anyway) keep getting better! In the short time we've been working on these stories she has opened my world to a whole new realm of possibilities in the form of writing.
This collaboration was inspired by one of my own challenges (LOL). I looked at HarrynHermione's bio (had sent a few emails back and forth with her previously during 'Fairy Tale') and immediately asked her to collaborate with me! I hadn't even read anything of hers yet (at least not knowingly). Somehow I just knew it would be great! And it has been fan-bloody-tastic! LOL!
HarrynHermione is a fantastic writer and now that I have caught up on all of her stories I've discovered that we write quite a lot alike (although I readily admit that does not make me a fantastic writer) and it's made this process incredibly smooth.
Make Like Strangers is the "umbrella" name of what will become a series of stories that will take Harry and Hermione to many different locations with many different scenarios that will progressively get steamier as the stories go on. Each story (or part) will be unique, but will tie in with all the others-sometimes in an obvious way, sometimes not.
We don't know how many parts there will be because the possibilities are endless! Part 1 in the series is entitled Cut! And Action! and is five chapters in length. The subsequent parts will probably be about the same.
Any ideas for what you would like to see as the stories continue are welcome. Perhaps we'll hear a fantastic idea that we haven't yet thought of…in fact, if I may, I challenge you all to come up with something that we haven't. Something unique…
Thank you all for reading and for all your great support! Drop us a note and let us know what you think. Since I gave the option on the story that GreenEyeSparkle16 and I submitted earlier, I thought I'd give it here too. If you need ten words or more you can borrow these (just copy and paste into the remarks)….
You guys are incredible! I can tell already that this story is going to be hot, hot, hot! Totally looking forward to the next chapter! Keep up the great work.
(Again…I'm just kidding…although a quick note would be most excellent!)
HarrynHermione you are WONDERFUL! I am so glad you sent me that first email…I've had a blast talking to you about everything and working out these stories! This collaboration is…well…indescribable! YOU ROCK!
Take care,
H_HrFan

A/N from HarrynHermione: Well, I think my esteemed collogue has pretty much summed up everything I was going to say.
After H_HrFan gave us the gift that was Fairy Tale, I decided to email her on the side to tell her how much I loved her writing and how brilliant I thought (think!) she was (is!) (Yes, you are!) After several back-and-forth emails, she asked if I would like to do a collaboration and this is the outcome! Her imagination is boundless and her grasp of Harry and Hermione's relationship is truly inspirational. In fact, I was inspired so much by Fairy Tale that I pooled up the courage to post my first story here back in December. And it's been a blast for me! So here, after only four+ months, I'm collaborating with one of my favorite authors!! YAY ME!! Thanks SO MUCH for the opportunity!! HUGS!!!
I hope that you all enjoy this new baby of ours. It started off as a single idea (for the record, it was H_HrFan's idea) and after talking (for what-almost four straight days total now??) it has blossomed into something HUGE! Harry and Hermione are probably going to be very cross with us…then again maybe not! (wink wink)
Please review with comments, criticisms, ideas, etc. We'd love to hear from you! And we will do our best to reply to each and every one of you!
Oh! And a brand new Firebolt to anyone who can come up with a scenario that we haven't! We obviously can't reveal what's on our "scenario list" for fear of giving away too much, but we'll be honest…honest!!
Let's see…what else. Oh!! 121 more days until Half-Blood Prince!! WOO HOO!!
And by the way, H_HrFan, you have truly humbled me with your kind words! Thanks, sweetie! This collaboration with you has been a great experience! And if you tell me again that you can't write smut, I'm going to have to hex you! OR…I'll just get Hermione to do it! (hee hee hee)
Cheers!!
HarrynHermione
