Okay, I think I need a beta.

I wanted to actually do up a proper intro for the Hellblazer: Hogwarts stuff- something that'd provide at least a semi-coherent explanation as to why John is currently in a universe he's really not supposed to be in. I've banged something together, but I'm not sure if it works quite right. I'd like to ask for someone to have a look at it and tell me if they think it'll work. It's not a humour piece, but then again it's not as if exposition is particularly suited to that kind of thing...

Anyway. I could go on disparaging my work for hours but I'm not going to burden you with that. Will someone please let me email this to them for a read-over and an assessment of whether I can get away with using it or not? Thanks.

All right, let's try this.

I've had a beta go over this (thank you, olna_jenn!) and I think we've scoured away most of the points where the Suck Fairy would've come to devour my work. Here, then, is what I am proposing as the actual starting point for Hellblazer: Hogwarts. Hasn't got the humour in it yet, but I wanted to shoot for a solid foundation first. Crossovers suck the most when there's no explanation for how the worlds got crossed, after all.
