I must be mad.
I really must be mad.
And it’s all Trisha’s fault.
Remember that interview where Trisha asked me what fanfic plot I’d love to read but haven’t seen written yet?
I answered that I’d like to read about Dumbledore’s schooldays.
And I’ve spent the last four days obsessing over it.
I’ve got lots of great ideas. And they all involve lots of research, lots of speculation, oodles of planning, and tons and tons of writing.
Not to mention a lot of guts.
. . . . . . .
And I think I’m actually going to attempt it.
Jen and Rachel have both offered their help in the research/plotting/speculation aspect of it, although it looks like I’ll be doing all the writing on my own.
I’m scared. It’s an awesome task, to be Dumbledore’s biographer. I don’t know if I’m up to it.
But it’s going to be great fun to try.
Wish me luck.
I’ll need it.

Wow! Are you sure? That is a monumental task! And you won’t even be paid for all that work. How do you know that JKR won’t try the same for a sequel someday?

Dont worry, JKR might hint at things in future books, but I doubt she’ll go back and write Dumbledore’s biography.
Good Luck Emily. If you need help next month I will probably have more time then.

My hat is off to ya, sister. I would never attempt this on my own. If you need any help, I am more than willing. Good luck!
