The Dream Trilogy

    Fan Fiction is generally disregarded by many as the useless witterings of teenage girls with a little too much time on their hands.  I have to confess to thinking this myself until I actually stumbled onto a number of sites on the internet that host some of the best examples of the genre in the world.  Two of these sites can be found in the Links section of Pylia.  I have found that writers who work within the parameters of an established cannon can often come up with the most innovative work.  Stories can take well known characters and situations into places the reader might never have though, and can explore unlikely situations or minor characters that would otherwise have been neglected by the cannon.  That being said, there is also a great deal of teenage witterings to be found, but that was what inspired me even more to write my own adventure in the world of Harry Potter. 

   'The Dream Trilogy' is (obviously) split into three stories; 'To Dwell On Dreams,' 'Dream A Little Dream For Me,' and 'To Dream Or Not To Dream.'  This work can be found in the Writing section of Pylia.  The plot in the first instalment follows Harry as he accidentally transports himself into an alternate universe where his family were never murdered by Voldemort, but everything else seems to be going horribly wrong.  Harry finds himself thrown into an unlikely set of events as he once again has to play his role as 'the hero.'  This third of the story is complete, and I have written about half of the second part, but I have found it increasingly difficult to invest my time into something that is purely for recreation.  Of all the works of fiction I have started, this is the one I hope to come back to as I feel it is a story worth telling.  However, I feel this is unlikely to happen at present due to my many work commitments, but maybe one day I will find the time to return to Harry and the many Universes of The Dream Trilogy.
