*sigh*
Okay, so there's been a lot of people complaining about Scarlet being discontinued. And there have been a lot of questions about why, and if I'll write one last chapter explaining everything for you.
Well, here's sort of what you've been asking for.
I felt that, after reading The Half-Blood Prince that fanfiction, in general, was a pointless thing. The plot line of the Harry Potter series is so distinct, and so beautifully crafted that, to me, messing around with the characters, especially after the revelations of HBP, is like sacrilege. It seems wrong.
However, Scarlet doesn't seem to want to let me go. I still have the story in my head, and I still have the plot line stirring up ideas. So, I'm going to finish it, if not for you guys who have been with me since I started writing and those of you who have just joined in, but for me and for the characters I've changed and created out of JKR's dynamic world.
This is going to be my last piece of HP fanfiction, though. Don't expect more from me after I finish this. HBP made me realize that, as good of a writer as I could become, I'm never going to be able to touch what JKR has started with her books. So, I'm going to finish this up, and say goodbye to all of you. Thanks for dealing with me the past two years, and I hope you enjoy how this whole thing wraps up.
