THE NATURE OF PROPHECY:
A prophecy shall not create events, it shall just tell of them. This is in contrast to the idea that prophecies create or make come about the events they tell of. No, prophecies just tell of events. This would mean that even if the prophecy was never made the events would still come about. The events, thought, would not be put in the context the prophecy could put them into. They would not be made as significant as the prophecy could made them.
Still, if a prophecy is made and it is a true (real) prophecy, the events it tell of will happen. You could say they were set in stone (or paper if the prophecy is written :).
THE GIVERS OF PROPHECY:
Usually, those that receive prophecy have a tendency towards those types of things, but it is not limited to these alone. If the situation call for it, a person who has no record of such things may receive prophecy. Nor does receiving a prophecy once mean that it will ever happen again.
THE GIVING OF PROPHECY:
The actual giving of the prophecy will be something outside the person chosen to tell the prophecy. It is something they will be compelled, as it were, to say. They will not have a choice in the matter. It will be very evident that what this person is saying is not of themselves. The origin of prophecy will not be delved into at this time.
NOTES:
[Monday, February 7, 2005]
Much of this is slightly different then biblical prophecy. Prophecy in the bible seems like it was usually told to a prophet by someone (or something) or some kind of knowledge that they have. Remembering that biblical prophecy isn’t always telling of the future but is telling of God and proclaiming the truth (which may be truth about the future). So it is a different kind of prophecy then the one that will be used in the story.

FanFiction.net
The largest fan-fiction site on the Internet that I know of. It has stories based on almost everything. If you want to find fan-fiction based on a particular story then you can most likely find it here. Be warned, though, it is slightly (or maybe more then slightly) addictive.
My user name is Mirax Myra Terrik (a character from the X-Wing series) and the URL for my profile (with a list of the very few and short stories I’ve posted) is http://www.fanfiction.net/u/55085/

...and it begins
This site was created for the purpose of writing down notes and thoughts about the various stories I’m currently working on. I’m hoping that it will help me to organize my work as well as provide a way for the people who are helping me to know what is going on with the stories (especially in the case of one particular story).
I mainly work on fan-fiction. That means the characters (or universes) that I write about have been created by someone else and are owned by them. Fan-Fiction is done purely for fun and with permission (in that they don’t stop us) from the authors. All credit for non-original characters and settings are given to the author they belong to.
With that said, I mainly concern myself with Star Wars, Stargate, and Harry Potter fan-fiction. Although I also am quite fond of Lord of the Rings, I can’t bring myself to read (with the exception of one) or write anything about Middle Earth. I’m quite content with the actual published work. Anyway, there are three stories I’m currently working on. By working on I mean gathering information about how the fictional universe works, figuring out plot, creating characters and history, and all those wonderful things. Only after that can the stories be written. So…
(1) The first story I’m working on concerns the Jedi Order and is set in Old Republic times sometime before The Phantom Menace (I haven’t decided exactly how long before). It is a story about a Jedi Master and a Jedi Student and how they come to be Master and Apprentice. The main characters are my own (as in original characters).
It shall be referred to as Jedi Apprentice 1.
(2) The second story I’m working on is, in a way, a continuation of the first. It is about the Jedi Student (now a Knight) and how she comes to take her first apprentice.
This story will be referred to as Jedi Apprentice 2.
(3) The third is probably the largest and most time consuming thing in history (at least it sometimes seems like it). This project comes from an extreme dislike of the fifth Harry Potter book (I hated it) and a vow to write my own version of the fifth year. So, that is what it is… My version of Order of the Phoenix (and it shall be referred to as such).
At the moment that is all I’m working on in the way of stories. I have several other ideas I’d like to eventually write, but I’d like to finish these three first. I say that as if it is possible to finish these three. We will see.
