Sir Poley's Blog, page 70

I have to say that much like a real D&D random encounter, that chapter was hollow, tedious filler with no real weight or significance. Was that intentional? Your writing's usually more entertaining than that..

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m not entirely certain which chapter you’re talking about, as I’m checking this rather late. Probably what you’re feeling is the shorter chapters lately, which is a result of all of the action/plot that’s been happening lately. It’s much easier for me to crank out ten pages of light comedy and parody than five pages of action and drama, and as a result I’ve had to cut back on the length of individual chapters lately. As a result, there’s less plot advancement and hijinks per chapter, unfortunately. If I had the advantage of writing in a non-serial format, I would go back and amalgamate the Harry Potter and the Save-or-Die chapters into about 1/2 to 3/4 as many as there currently are. However, due to my (theoretically) weekly publishing schedule, I have to try to get something out, even if it’s only a few pages long, and only have limited ability to change what’s already out there.

Still, hopefully you’ll enjoy the next few chapters more!

it seems, that you are really still in the process of writing. i wunder. so far i've spent like 4 continuos nights reading this piece and i definately am craving for more. looks like really worth it, not to mention rich english (which for me as foreigner m

Weeerllll. It being fanfiction, I can’t actually sell anything. However, you are more than welcome to print out your own copy of the book from the downloadable files (just remember you can’t sell anything, or Hasbro/WotC or Rowling can come after you). As for illustrations, I have very little artistic skill, and I don’t think there’s been a lot of fanart for this fic (although I haven’t actually looked). If anyone out there has drawn something, I would be absolutely thrilled if you messaged me about it. Seriously, that would be the coolest.

(Thank you, btw! That was a really nice message to read)
