It’s dumb fun and I’m guessing that’s all that’s intended. Enjoyed reading through.
Hiatus, I took a summer semester at college plus extra lab time and it’s been really fucking up the amount of free time I have.
Computer broken
Got sick, was in and out of consciousness over the last 48 hours, might be a day or so as I still am recovering.
No chapter tonight (I know this makes two days in a row) Lab deadlines got moved up and I will probably be writing and editing that for the next 26 hours, there’s a chance if I finish early tomorrow. I promise that when that finishes, I’ll get back to the grind. Thanks for all the support, it does a great job of keeping this fun.
I’ve seen lots of Author Reviews on this site so I decided to do one as well. Overall I like to think I’m doing a good job and most of the comments I’ve received have been really positive. There are a few valid criticisms, the first being the MC will be overpowered, I want there to still be stakes and for the MC not to drift aimlessly, but in my mind she will have to be strong for a student to actively impact the wizarding world. A second valid criticism is the way that I write. I am a few credits from an engineering bachelors, I don’t have a minor in English or anything of the sort. I use AI tools to fix my mistakes and edit for me. I am still trying to figure out a good balance between keeping the words I put on the page and using the words that the AI likes. If something looks too Computery and you think it detracts from the story please make mention of it and I’ll try to fix it. Finally I am a little loose with canon, I’m going to reread the books when I get to each of them in story beats, I am trying to avoid “future knowledge” showing up in the story, but the preventative measures could be leading to me misremembering names and specific spells. I also sometimes just add stuff that I think could be interesting. Tldr: Author has a few errors I plan to work on. Criticism is more than warranted and please continue to give it. Author snorts glue professionally and therefore should be treated with a grain of salt.
TA is a teaching assistant. In most colleges the amount of students is too many for a single professor to grade, so a TA or group of them is needed. They also answer student questions and usually hold office hours in my experience. Some are incredibly helpful and grade kindly. There are also quite a few who have the modicum of power they are given go right to there heads.
You are correct, I'll make sure to make mention of it, there will be a few lines about magically increasing bone density and strength in the next physical focused chapter. I was thinking of talking about a variety of magical animals whose by products have heightened nutrients, like a cow like creature's milk having insane amounts of calcium and/or a fat fish creature having unearthly amounts of vitamin D. I would then mention her increasing the amount of osteoblasts post damage and osteoclasts to create that damage.
So real, not everyone can be that cool or even approach that level.
There is a “little” blind faith in Snape, a lot of students trust a professor to stay unbiased, and a lot of us think very positively on our role models.
