Okay, so yes, I’m putting off posting the Fire Emblem fic again, which feels bad because Engage is coming out so soon, and also because of the reason I’m delaying it yet again... But!
But, but, but!
Hogwarts Legacy is going to come out in a few weeks and I didn’t know who my player character was going to be, so naturally I made a wizard character, and then I wanted to flesh him out, learn more about him in preparation for the game, so I decided to put him in Harry’s year at Hogwarts and just run with the story.
I ended up making him a Scamander, because I was thinking about how if Rolf went to Hogwarts at the time Harry did he’d just be that one kid who’s literally perfect at everything he does but you can’t hate him because he’s also a ball of pure sunshine. you know what I’m talking about.
But my character had some issues pop up while I was brainstorming around year 3, so to keep the plot going I decided to just make him Harry’s brother for funsies.
So, I ended up with a twin au fic where Harry’s brother is adopted by the Scamanders, which is purely self-indulgent and is made entirely to examine the character I’m going to be using as my PC in the game.
I just finished writing year 6. Things go way off track of the books in year 4. I don’t know that I’ll actually finish year 7 before the game comes out - probably not, actually - but I’m considering posting years 1-6 over the weeks before release anyway
(Don’t judge me for not wanting to start posting the FE fic please. It’s 86 chapters. Even if I do my usual every other day posting schedule, which is hecking fast I should note, that’s still 172 days of commitment. Yeah, you read that right. I’ll be posting that thing for almost six months. Posting every other day. Do you understand my problem, now?)
#speak#is this a fic announcement?#sort of i guess#i probably won't do a formal one for this if i do post it soon#and I likely wont follow my usual schedule#probably biweekly instead#thats twice a week#because then it'll be all six years posted when hogwarts legacy comes out#and honestly at that point if youre reading fanfic instead of playing the game i pity you because you clearly dont have a machine to run it#then i'll post year 7 whenever i damn well get around to it#deal? deal#and yes it'll be chapters of wildly varying lengths#(year 1 is like a little less than 30k words and year 5 is a little more than 100k)#but i cant be bothered to break them into multiple chapters per year#there are line breaks within so just deal with it#i didn't write this initially with the intention of posting it anyway so formatting is LOW on the priority list lmao
