I've decided to remove Fate's Follies from the 'net as it has been brought to my attention that Nora Roberts prosecutes for use of her characters. It saddens me to have to abandon this fic, but it's not worth the hassle I've been receiving from some people about the fic. *sad face* I still love the idea of The Three Fates in general, so I may rework the idea into something not quite so like NR's book. Feel free to flame all you want, I've already cried about it, so it's okay. My H/R/Hr is on-going, as well as the Abandoned!Harry fic, so I'm not dropping out of fandom at all!! This is actually kinda a good thing, as I can concentrate more on my studies and more orginal works than this. I'm really sorry to all the loyal fans who've stuck with me through 14 chapters!! This may not be the end of the fic, I will just have to re-work it so it's not so recognizable I suppose. A new plot, but same pairings and general scheme of things. Thanks for all the support!!

:( I didn't read because I don't read WIPs until they are done. I'm sad though, I did read the first chapter and was interested. So sorry to hear you got grief about it.

I know!! :( I'm very sad, but I don't want to risk a law suit and it's been known to happen. Nora Roberts and her publishers have done it before I guess, and I don't want to cause any problems, because I really do love Nora Roberts, lol.

Now I'm pissed. (Not at you though.) I read the first two chapters and loved it and I had the other chapters saved in my links, so I'm upset I can't finish reading them. I'm sorry to hear this darling, but I understand!

I'll send you the file, if you'd like. I still want people to read, but I don't want to be sued, if you get my drift, so shhh...

*cries* But I liked that story so much. I didn't realize NR came down so hard on fanfic.

I was just wondering what had happened to you since you suddenly stopped posting anything. I really like your Trio fic, too.

Can't wait to read something from you again.

Neither did I, but I kept getting e-mails from people on ff.net and hp-fandom warning me of the dangers, so I just took preemptive steps.

Trio!fic should be coming soonish. School is a lot more hectic than I thought it would be, so things have slowed down some.

Ah, I'm really sorry to hear Fate's Follies has been...well, delayed for you. Okay, I'm sorry for us, your readers! But I completely understand your caution, and we've got your back. No worries. I have to admit, I really really really hope you're able to rework it with ease so it can be reposted speedily! It's been one of my favorite WIPs to follow! Best of luck on it, and I'm glad to hear work on your other fics is progressing--I'm keeping a look out for them as well! ♥

I'm sorry too! I'll be honest, I won't have much time to rework until winter break from school, but I haven't completely given up on it yet. It's still my baby!

I'm so sorry! I'm not familiar with Nora Roberts' work, but your story was absolutely wonderful. It's a shame, but you're right, better than litigation I suppose. Still, I'm just really glad there's the other two stories you're posting, it'd be sad if such a good writer as yourself went completely on hiatus. Now, when may I hope for the next chapter of abandoned!harry?

Thanks! Anything is better than litigation. Abandoned!Harry is slowly coming along. The first part was easy, him being abandoned, since I got the basic premise (being left in the park) from Doctor Phil, but it's what's coming after that's holding me up. I have seperate scenes in my head, but I don't know how to link them all together.

::hug:: I'm sorry! I was really enjoying the story. Is there any way you could post a synopsis of what happens (if you know the ending?), 'cause I really grew to like these characters and I want to know what happened to them :)

In might just do that if I decide not to remix the whole thing.

OMG NO!!! It was one of my favourite fics ever!!!
Are you really going to stop writing or is there any way you could continue it and like, email the chapters to us or something. Your story was SOOPUR AWESOME... :(

and technically you're not using her characters... only the plot. Unless she just doesn't allow fanfiction in general... (which is kinda mean IMO, and I know Anne Rice does it too... :/)

She doesn't allow it in any form, though to be honest, some of her fics read like fanfiction to me, her newest book Morrigan's Cross among them. It's all about vampires and shape-shifters and witches. It was like reading Buffy fanfic crossed with Highlander and Harry Potter. Anyway, I might do a mailing list thing, but I think I'm just going to remix the story with a slightly different plot device. It will take awhile though, so we'll see what happens.

But, omg, can you imagine what would happen if Joss Whedon and JK Rowling pulled a Nora Roberts? I actually think the internet would die from shock. Seriously!

I know!! The internet would be dead without Buffy and HP fandomness, I think.

Anyway, good luck with everything. Too bad it had to be pulled off the internet... I didn't even archive it or anything. :( *is stupid*

I hear that! I'm going to try to re-write what I've got, but since it's so long (182 pages) it may take awhile!!

again, I'm really sorry to have sounded so rude in my message on FFnet. i guess i was just having a bad day. Please do try to redo the story though. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking you could do an awsome version of NR's story!

It actually wasn't your comment I was upset about! Yours was nice and polite and concerned! I replied to the wrong message! Someone else sent a message that was really rude and insulting! Sorry about the mix up! And thanks for the support!!!

oh this were such sad news to read, I love Fate's Follies so much, I just can't believe this. I really sit frozen for a good 5 minutes just staring at the screen.
Oh I'm so sad, I mean I completly understand you, but so sad.
And just when H&R finally happened.
A question though, is there a place where the story is archived? I saved a couple of chapters but not the whole thing.
Thanks.

Thanks! No, I took the whole thing off the net, but I can send you the file if you want. It's quite large, as all the chapters are in one document, but if you'd like it I'll send it to you. And it's not dead, just resting. I'm going to work on it on breaks and such, but it might be several months before it's redone and ready for human eyes.

Oh please do, that would be great. My email is harryeron@yahoo.com.mx

I can wait, believe me I so can. I really don't care if a WIP takes years to be over as long as it does. Did you ever read "A lacking of Foresight"? The author wrote it, then just stopped and picked up like years after but it was done, and it was perfect, and I'm sure yours will. So take your time, but please have it done.

lacking of foresight is finished? how'd I miss that!! Now I'm excited. There are quite a few years long WIPs that are still not finished (*cough*Mirror of Maybe *cough*), so i dont' feel too badly about it, lol. I'll send you the file when I get home tonight!!

You did not know about "A lacking..." oh I will have to keep my emotions on check then so I won't spoil it for you, here is the link
http://www.ravenswing.com/~keelywolfe/lacking.html

5 years to finish it, but see it was perfect, so I'm sure yours whenever you get to it, it would be great too.

Oh WIP not finished, yes, there's more than one that I go so upset over it, but oh well.

Well, just one more. Damn. Damn, damn, f'in damn!! Okay, make that four.

Hey, don't worry! I'm working on re-doing this in a slightly different way, so NR doesn't sue me. Hopefully I'll get a chance to re-write the majority of the plot during Xmas break, and again during Feb. break. I'm doing some research now on other dieties and powerful artefacts that would work instead of the 3 Fates, and changing some other things around (pairings are staying the same!). So, all is not lost, just on hiatus for awhile.

Awwww rats. I was really enjoying it. I will be curious to see where you take it in the re-worked version. Could I friend you so I won't miss it when you get a chance to work on it?
