[FFML] [FANFIC][HP][SPOLIERS] Harry Potter and the Defense Againstthe Dark Arts, Chapter One: "The Request"

[Kevin Callahan]

Good show. I feel like you just burned my English degree to ashes. But
this is why I always post on the FFML before anywhere else. I never
catch all my errors. Plenty of mistakes I should know better about. I
was also admittedly in a hurry, and I had written this originally on
paper and had to copy it into my editor...

I really, really appreciate the formatting corrections.

There is just one thing:

> >She held up the hand once more. "You graduated with Distinction,
>
> No need to capitalise "distinction."

Incorrect. It's a title of an honor. "General" was a typo, but
Distinction was intentional both times I used it.

And

> I'd be a little wary about putting a claim like this in your writer's notes.
> Real Life certainly has a way of butting into even the most serious
> writer's ambition.

shows that, oh, five year break I took from fan fiction was a bad
idea.That's something you tell to someone who is new to writing, not
to someone who has been fan ficcing since the mid nineties. No one
knows who I am anymore. *cries* I realize you meant it to be helpful,
but believe me, I am fully aware of how Real Life gets in the way,
especially when you don't set deadlines. Hence the weekly goal. Done
or not, the FFML will be getting something once a week. You may feel
free to rip it to shreds.

Thanks again!
