That was so lovely! At times it almost reads more like a legend than a fanfic…if one thinks of Harry Potter as the sort of story that’s sunk that far into the subconscious of our generation, Hogwarts can be a setting for all kinds of stories. It’s both sweet to hear that you did that for your daughter, and empowering as a writer to see a talented and respected author who isn’t ashamed of fan fiction. Like another commenter said, it also reminds me of when my mother would write short Lord of the Rings stories for me when I was a kid.

I’ve been digesting this ever since you posted it. Finally, I know what to say:

Thank you.

So many reasons this is inspiring to me. A) It’s okay to write fan fiction (geez, do I really take myself so seriously that I thought fan fiction was beneath me? Yeah. Silly, silly me). B) It’s okay to publish simple, cute stuff. C) If Lev frickin Grossman can publish a little story for his daughter to his blog then for goodness sake why am I still sitting on all these stories I’ve written over the years that have never been “good enough” to submit to publishers.

So, anyway. Today I published one of my short stories to my blog. Tiny, teeny, little, bitty step.

Thank you.

That’s really cute. I don’t think this is fan fiction, this is firmly in the genre ‘bedtime stories’.

That was incredibly sweet. I couldn’t help smiling the whole time. She must have been delighted. Thanks for sharing!

This is the most poignant bit of fathering I’ve seen since a gazillion years ago, when my father used to do similar things involving poems, books, and diaries.

Very sweet, Lev

(Also, I love your books and can’t wait for more!)
