As an old man reading lots of stories, I thought to try-out writing for myself. As learning to post stories the first got deleted the second unreadable. This site makes a bit confusing for me. When I started to read books, I was 18 (I think) and was more into comics and movies until someone gave me a book about a teenager who accidental went back to the dark ages in a time of children crusades. While traveling with the crusade he gets messages from the future and things happens to get him back. (Title Kruistocht in Spijkerbroek Crusade in Jeans)
That was the time I went into a reading spurt as I always had read the stories placing myself in the shoes of the main character which is a kind of (fan)fiction until I discover Harry Potter through my little nephews, I went with them to the movies and get myself the books in English (as the translating was awe full like chancing the names...)
To make it short I discovered fanfiction in 2010 and since reading most of them.
In my view JKR shouldn't finished the story like she did and Ron Weasley and Hermione as she self said planning to kill Ron and his character wasn't built very well after a while... but she liked Rupert...
Also, I am reading AI stories trying to get it Beter with Harry Potter to feed it suggestions (it's almost ideal ...) I am trying to let it make crossovers which it does Beter and Beter.
