andrewducker: (Exciting)
[personal profile] andrewducker
One of my favorite anecdotes is from a writer who decided that he would write all the exciting, fun parts of his novel first, and go back and fill in the boring middle parts later. When he had finished writing just the fun parts, he looked over what he had, came to an important realization, and sent the finished work off to his editor.

From.

And on that note, I've just finished the first 21 parts (and first week) of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. And if you liked Harry Potter at all and aren't reading this then you really, really should be.

Oh, hmm...depending on how far you've read you might not have gotten there yet. But Harry lays it all out in a meeting between Snape, McGonagall, himself, and Dumbledore.

I didn't say sexual abuse. Harry outright says that Snape abuses children.

The way I read that scene (the meeting) there was no hint of sexual abuse. Just lots of other kinds of abuse and making kids' lives an absolute misery precisely as he did in the books.
