saving for the epic and all of the warm fuzzies.
sociopathic Oh, Julian. I have a confession; I'd never written HP before Ashes. Ever. It was such a total whim that took me on a rollercoaster I could have never anticipated. I didn't think much of OCs, to be honest, and I was probably one of the mods who was wariest about your app. I was just so straight-line canon-obsessed that I wasn't really open to the notion of OCs. But your writing sample was good, so I gave my thumbs up, and I am so, so glad I did. I don't know if I've ever said it in these terms, but: he is the most well-developed OC I've ever had the pleasure of writing against. Period. No OC I've ever played against in HP or PB has surpassed him, and I don't expect that they ever will. Thank you for exploring the depths of madness where no one else would. Thank you for taking all the drama of their story as it came and never taking it personally. Thank you for doing more to define my character than anyone else. Whatever character depth I achieved, I owe to you, because you WENT there with me. I know it came to an unfortunate end, but the opportunity to revive it, even only for a few months, was magical to me. I'm sincerely sorry that my interest in the fandom waned. I hope, someday, that I'll get that muse back again, because no one goes darker than you.
