Working a bit on my Raising Harry AU again. I’m basically beefing up the main story but adding all the flashback stories I wrote into the story as memory chapters. Obviously it already had a lot of memories but I’m adding all of the ones that feature Remus and Sirius.

Anything that is just James and Lily will for now remain their own fics until I can go back and combine all of them for a James/Lily specific prequel story.

It’s all a bit complicated but the end result will be fairly straightforward.

I did consider doing a version without the flashbacks but I think it would feel too empty. It was built around having flashbacks so I think it will make more sense to just keep them and beef them up and try to make them feel more relevant.

It’s finally here. 26 chapters and 30,000 words longer (it’s 27 new chapters because one chapter was deleted and reworked into other chapters.)

Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

Haven’t posted updates because I’ve been too busy working on it. I believe I should be able to finish TODAY. Unsure when I’m posting. It will take some time to prepare given the enormous amount of new chapters (27 I believe... yes, really, 27) and the fact that all the existing chapters need to get moved around and I need to look over EVERY single chapter before posting so... Yeah, it’s going to be an ordeal.

Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

Only 6 entirely new chapters left to write. It’s mostly editing from here on out. Unsure how long it will take to finish now but not too long. Maybe a couple of weeks? Certainly before the end of February.

Another Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

11 chapters, 16k ish words. Puts me at about half done for new chapters written. Feeling pretty good about reaching my spring goal. The only question is how long edits will take but I’m not anticipating edits taking long given that most of what I need to change is continuity stuff.

Another Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

8 chapters done, around 10k words total. The nice thing about planning to drop this expansion all at once is that I don’t have to stress about chapter length. These chapters range from about 2k words to only 800 (they average around 1300 words.)

I have 11 chapters to write before I get to the stuff I originally wrote, though there will be more new chapters mixed in with the old still. I believe in reality I have about 14 new chapters to write total, most of which should be short.

My goal remains having it done by summer but I’m secretly hoping to have it done a bit sooner than that. I think a spring release is entirely possible, if I don’t hit any major writing blocks before then.

Wrote a short new canon Marauders thing. Meant to have it up this weekend but I was tired.

So as promised I have deleted 3 of my incomplete works on AO3 that weren’t really getting much traffic. I had no plans to update them and I’d just rather them be gone so that no one finds them and has the expectation I might someday update them. I may someday revive them in some fashion but... not any time soon. But seriously, no one was reading them so I’m not too worried.

I have not deleted my space opera story The Legacy of the Wolf because I do plan to update/finish that at some point and I have worked on that AU in the background quite a bit.

Marauders’ Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion updates:

Eh, why not? Gonna make this a little more informal than my Poly Marauders updates.

So first a little perspective on how big this expansion is: Currently the published version is 14 chapters long. Right now just in terms of chapters that get us to where the fic ends right now, I have 35 outlined. Now it’s worth noting, most of the new chapters will be very short (not much more than 1k words). Just not enough meat on the bones for some of the subjects.

So far I’ve written 3 new chapters and I’m working on the fourth one, for a total of 3.6k words. Now, it’s worth noting that I only just finished working on Poly Marauders so the chapters that are written were done pretty randomly. That being said, this isn’t my only project right now so my energy is still split with other things (but not TOO many other things.)

My goal is to have this expansion done by next summer. I write around 200k words a year so 6 months is about 100k and I think that’s plenty to get this done and good amount of other stuff as well.

I have outlined to 50 chapters BUT I think I’m going to be posting the expansion once I’m caught up to where the fic already was since otherwise it would likely take more than a year for an update and considering it’s already been two years...

It's unclear but I'd guess a couple of inches taller since he's described so specifically as being very tall. Maybe in the ballpark of 6'2" or 6'3".

He's described as being small in the early books but later catches up to how tall James was at his age (and James is frequently described as tall.) So probably in the ballpark of 6'0" by the end of the series I would guess.

6 years and nearly 400k words later, my Poly Marauders story is complete. It’s definitely a slow burn but more because of the focus on friendship rather than endless angsty pining.

This is definitely a commitment but if you’ve enjoyed my other stuff this will probably be up your alley as well.

Poly Marauders writing progress:

And it’s done.

Poly Marauders writing progress:

Dragged my feet a little on finishing this one. But I wanted to get it (and the last chapter) perfect. At 9.3k words it’s easily the longest chapter in the entire fic.

People really don’t leave comments on fic anymore do they?

Hey, I posted a new thing! Sort of a lost fic as it is something I wrote years back and never finished. So, I gave it a bit of polish and added a few more thousand words.
