Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction"
(both original and fanfiction) where you can search
across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and
get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent
projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
The first thing Harry did that summer was to find one of the books he got over Christmas and read through it. It was titled Rare Magical Abilities and Species (Or, What the Heck am I, and Why am I Purple?!). The section on Summoners was fascinating.
Summoners were first recorded during the times of ancient China. It is said that they are chosen by the Gods because they possess certain characteristics which make them worthy. Though they are born from humans and are entirely human in appearance, they are generally considered to be demi-gods. Common traits of summoners include: extreme power, pure hearts, quick minds, and questionable sanity. (Harry shook his finger at the text. “Bad book! No donut!”) The last known summoner was Valerian Doodlemeyer, who led an entirely dull and uninteresting life which ended in an accident involving crackers. (“People can die from crackers?” Harry’s eyebrows were trying to reach his hairline. Ate smiled from within Jinx. “It also involved an anaconda.”) Merlin was the most famous summoner in history and is generally credited with inventing liver pudding. (“Well thank you, Merlin!” Two voices exclaimed sarcastically.)
