part one progress so far:

being able to track progress by scene in each chapter is so good for keeping things organized and paced for me, but once i transition from scrive to gdocs for beta review, backporting and re-splitting into scenes is a huge hassle. hence why ch7 is 6k in scrivener still and my posted version is... 8.5k. ch 8/9 have already been ported into gdoc for betaing and are also... substantially longer lol. if someone made a live editing compatible version of scrivener i would actually slob on that so hard.

there are a couple gaps still left in part 2/3, particularly w.r.t. harry's training arc and some magical system stuff.

i am absolutely wallowing. tfw you wanted to build something original and now you have to actually put in work to develop a wholly unique power system and update your already 7000 word final battle sequence with it to make the payoff sufficiently badass for your badass heroes.

i did bang out like 3k words for a very important emotional confrontation in the mid-arc that was not there on the first draft and i'm happy with how it's turned out :3

Chapter two of the Big One I’ve been working on :D

Draft is @ 137k so far and posting ~weekly. I'm grateful for anyone that joins me for this wild ride until we're done!

In the garden of Wool’s Orphanage, Tom Riddle meets a tiny little snake, and she becomes his first ever friend. Billy Stubbs kills her with a trowel.

That same year, a tired and grieving Harry Potter arrives in snowy London to save the world – but he’s got paws instead of thumbs.

If this is Death’s idea of a joke, no one else is laughing.
