Exit, Pursued by a Bear
In Act 3 Scene III of The Winter’s Tale, by William Shakespeare, there is an interesting and unexpected stage direction. A character named Antigonus exits the stage “pursued by a bear”. Antigonus’s role has been to take the baby daughter of Queen Hermione to – would you believe – the coast of Bohemia and abandon her to the wild beasts of the region. What actually happens is the baby survives but Antigonus does not, and we are given to believe that it is the bear in the stage direction that is the cause of Antigonus’s demise.

Fanfiction: storytelling tool or just smut?
Fanfictions or just fanfics are works of literature created by fans of a certain series or intellectual property. Those works are often published online to be read and shared by other fans of the series. Fanfiction has gotten a bad reputation of being themed smut with fictional characters. That is not all true. If the reader refines their research, they will find detailed, well-thought and creative stories that will make the reader emotional and pleased. Like a kid wrote that? This is way more engaging than I thought.

Scorned Pt. 2
Scorned Chapter 5 Sam rushed down the hall and out of the hospital; he wanted to run out of sheer terror of being found out. He’d parked on the far south side of the hospital and was kicking himself for it now. When he finally made it to his car, he slammed the door shut and sat behind the wheel trying to regain his composure. It was several more minutes before he realized that his fists were pounding against the steering wheel and he was screaming at the top of his lungs. He wondered what others would think if they happened upon him at that moment.

Why was HP so good despite being a Horcrux
Nature: Was it just down to genes? Harry Potter was born to parents who were by nature good and kind people. Lily and James Potter fought in the Order of the Pheonix against Death Eaters. This would be risky, they would have seen other members die or be mentally disabled for the rest of their lives - the Longbottoms for example. James Potter was a trusting person, he let Dumbledore borrow his invisibility cloak despite it being a powerful, valuable, and irreplaceable magic item. Lily was a kind person this is evidence in her wanting James to stop his bullying and teasing of Severus Snape. Lily and James were very fond of their friends, risking letting them visit despite the couple being in hiding from Voldermort. They also entrusted their friend Peter Pettigrew to be their secret keeper; this led to the eventual murder of the Potters by Voldermort. James and Lily also made friends with their neighbour Bathilda Bagshot whilst hiding out in Godrics Hollow, a lady much older than the couple. The Potters humouring the seeming ramblings of an old lady spouting mad theories about the Dumbledore family:

Just the night before he’d finally worked up the courage to tell Penelope how he felt; he was happily surprised that she felt the same way about him.

What is Fanfiction?
Fanfiction isn’t as strange of a concept to many people as it once was. The term has become more mainstream these days thanks to popular books that were once fanfics. There are many people who have an idea in their head of what fanfiction is, but that idea might be simplified or leave some questions unanswered.
