Hello all!

News is in.  I now have two new betas on board joining me in making this a better story.  Helping me from nearly the beginning have been Cateagle and Sparky40sw.  They have been a great help through al of their suggestions and corrections.  Joining them are Rictor, as you saw at the top of chapter 44, and GTheFinder, who has shown me his work and has been found well qualified.  GTheFinder will be contributng starting on chapter 45.  I thank these four people for their continuing and future efforts in making my writing better.

I would also like to thank Kat Armstrong who Britpicked for me through chapter 10 and then was unavailable any longer for an unknown reason.  If anyone knows of her whereabouts or her situation, please send word to me that she is well.

Also deserving our thanks is Donalddeutsch, who is leaving us as a beta.  Thank you for the work you put into this story.

Thanks to these people from me, and I hope from each of you.  Without their help, each and every chapter would be that much worse for the favor.  Any remaining mistakes, after their work, I claim as my own.

Feel free to send them your positive thoughts through my forum.

I have posted on my forum a request for a beta or two for my writing.  Please check it out and let me know if you fit the bill.

There it is, the last chapter to have been posted on another site.  From here on out, we are all new.  The next chapter is in the can an will be posted this weekend.

Do not expect as frequent of updates from here on out, due to having to actually write each chapter, rather than just rewrite.

Thank you to my Betas.  They have been a great help in making htis story the quality that you enjoy.  And thank you to Tim Joy (Jeconais) for answering some questions about British terminology for this chapter.

Thank you to everyone for reading and thank you, especially, to those that shared their thoughts and feelings about each chapter by hitting the review button at the bottom of each chapter.

I have added a new site logo, as you can see at the top. I like it and it was not too hard to make. Tell me what you think.

Mike.

Kinsfire has been kind enough to the Authors at FanFicAuthors.net to offer us each a forum for discussion of our works. As such, I offer mine to you, my readers, for discussions about Cracked Reservoir or any other story that I post. Please read the rules, as they are brief but important.

Yes, some of you may remember that I was up to chapter 41 (about 130,000 words) when FF.n deleted my story. You may ask why I don't just hunker down and post it here this weekend. Well, I respect this site a lot more than FF.n, and so i am doing something that I have never done before...I am using the Beta Process. Four wonderful people, Donalddeutsch, Kat Armstrong, Cateagle and Ken (AKA Sparky40sw) have decided to help me out with my re-write/re-edit. This will be a time consuming process for myself and my Beta's, but I will get the chapters posted as fast as possible. As always, thank you for reading and reviewing.

Hello and welcome to my new site at Fanficauthors.net. The other members of this site were gracious enough to invite me to post my stories to this site. To that end, I have re-edited my story 'Sadie Hawkins Dance', a one-shot, and got it Beta'd by Donalddeutsch. It is the first to post here and will be followed by my epic 'Harry Potter and the Cracked Reservoir' as soon as I can get it re-edited and Beta'd. Thank you for reading.
