Is it ironic that 3 4 years ago to the day, I was half-way through writing Before the Dawn when HBP was released, and now I'm half-way through reading it on the eve of the movie

Your fic was the first I ever read and still one that I go back to occasionally when I need a little SS/HG refresher. You know I was a SS/LE shipper even before it was cannon and cool, but BTD is still such a tremendous part of my HP fandom I am so incredibly glad you finished it. I remember being terrified you wouldn't.
I'm currently reading your story "Before the dawn" and I can't tell you how much I l.o.v.e. it (chapter 40 and counting). I've been away from the whole fanfiction-scene since 2003 or 2004 but got dragged into it by a friend a couple months back. Your story was on 2 LJ-friends' favourite list, so I decided to give it a go despite it being AU and such.
You've got a real talent for writing, each word is so carefully balanced and just... right. I wish you all the best with your Masters, I'm sure you'll pass with flying colours.
Canon-shafted is the right word *lol* - I feel your pain (even now, 5 years later) having abandoned my own WIP when a new HP-book came out and ruined my storyline. And now... I just can't get myself to rewrite it, I much rather take it easy and read other people's fanfiction instead - as long as it's worthwhile, like yours.

And that's why I'm a writer, not a mathematician :)
