"You're going to brazil" isnt a threat, its an inevitable fact like carcinization. All roads lead to rome? Wrong. Brazil

Hi! I like you version of hp yoi au, but it always bugged me that Viktor is in Durmstrang even though he's Russian. I mean I get it is for the plot but Durmstrang is not really culturally close to Russia, especially when there is Russian own wizarding school. So I wanted to suggest maybe you could create a little Koldovstoretz!Viktor au? I mean there's not much information about the school itself but it still would be a very interesting version - and so much freedom to imagination :) Thank you!

Hello and thank you!! I’m replying you under a read more, if that’s alright.

There is a reason I particularly didn’t choose Koldovstoretz for Viktor, neither Mahoutokoro for Yuuri, and it’s simple!

It’d limit the amount of people who would enjoy it - there aren’t many people who haven’t seen the movies or read the books, but now, fans who actively sought more knowledge on the lore beyond these two pieces of media are considerable smaller in number. I personally got into HP in this level only two years ago!

I may get some info wrong sometimes, but I DO worry about accuracy and actually did research(this little jab goes to everyone who keeps messaging me stuff like “3rd years can’t enter the tournament” or “beauxbatons is a mixed school” because I’m so tired and these questions were already cleared if you guys took the time to read my posts carefully). But the thing is, between accuracy and enjoyment, I prefer the latter.

In other words, I wanted to create something I’d enjoy and connect easily and share this experience with other people!

This also relates to what you said: “it still would be a very interesting version - and so much freedom to imagination”. You’re absolutely right, and it is a wonderful idea, but it has its flaws. It takes much more work to relate to a universe where I created most of its structure, instead of trying to stick to an already known one(Hogwarts).

Not mentioning that it gives ME much more work, too, and this is why I’ll also decline your offer! Currently I have my hands full with IRL stuff and commissions, so I’m not accepting requests. After I get my Yurio and Chris ideas out of my system, I’m probably focusing on my own personal projects, as I’ve already said once.

Anyway, I hope I didn’t come across as too bitter about this whole ordeal! I really, really enjoy the positive feedback I’ve gotten from everyone so far, but I I felt like i needed to establish some boundaries. While I did say that I was open to suggestions on the AU, I never thought the post would attract this much attention. ol-

Oh, there’s also a minor reason, a more personal one- I’m not particularly a fan of these other schools. I mean, the ideas are cool and all - I personally like the idea of Mahoutokoro’s uniform, but I have lots of mixed feelings. While I really admire Rowling’s efforts on expanding the lore, sometimes it feels ….meh.

I’m from Brazil, but have you seen the brazilian school? Its name literally mean “wizard castle”, and of course it’s in the middle of the amazon rainforest- that’s so Brazil, right?

But I digress.
