So I love this, but I have a different comment that I want to comment, and I hope that's okay...
So anyway, about six years ago I developed a massive crush on Professor Lupin and started hunting down all the fanfiction that existed about him, but got pretty grumpy because most of it sucked. I'd had this werewolf fascination for ages, but the mild politeness of good old Remus just made it somehow CLICK, and then I discovered your stuff, and it was like you were seeing into my head with the way you interpreted him. I think I read "An Interesting Little Legal Problem" about eight times in those days.
Fast forward to now, and I'm in my last year of college, and my werewolf fascination never quite waned (ha ha) and now I've found myself writing a proper werewolf coming-of-age novel, which is a bit silly but definitely fun to write. (Not QUITE the same as they're interpreted in Harry Potter. But similar in a lot of ways.) And then just last week I suddenly remembered how much I'd loved your stories, and I headed over to FictionAlley and I've been reading them in my breaks at work (I work in a Scottish shop that sells kilts to the millions of tourists that come to the little tourist town that my college is in -- but there are only so many kilts you can sell without going insane, so reading about Charlie Weasley and vampire potions is a good way to kind of rest. Also, I adore Celia the magical ethicist. IF ONLY she were canon.)
Basically I just thought I should tell you that your writing is brilliant and you should really really really think about publishing something original, because I'd buy anything you wrote in a heartbeat. Sorry if this is an awkward out-of-the-blue comment. But it's true, so please keep writing.
