Wondering if I can get away with just writing a summary of what happens during the summer so I can start writing 3rd year. I hate when they're not at school 😭

Cosmo is hiding in one of the pics. Can you spot her?

So I made some title pics for my fic...

And I had so much fun making them that I got a bit carried away and made four alternate titles for both the years written so far...

Year one:

Year two:

For anyone wondering, the next chapter is in progress. I've written 13,600 words so far.

Casamancy teacher, Professor Brockhouse's lesson plan...

Are there any lessons you'd particularly like to see in the story?

July 1973: Professor Gawkroger has submitted her lesson plan for her third year Arithmancy class...

Professor Lightfoot's submission for Ancient Runes, third-year class

(These are mainly for my reference when I'm writing third year, so I don't have to keep coming up with ideas for what they did in class or have for homework, but I thought some of you might be interested to read through them. I'm making them and it's making me want to go to Hogwarts so bad)

Tif's lesson plan for Artismancy is complete (Even Dumbledore doesn't know their full name)

Update: we've reached chapter 90/99 of the reread, so it won't be long until I'm writing again now. I'm also practicing Finnish by translating the story. Finnish is an insane language (so different to English) but I'm having a great time learning it 🤓 Also, we'll be getting married on Thursday 28th March, and we're both very excited 🥰

Hi, how are you?! Hope everything worked out well and you are in Finland enjoying with your soulmate!

Hi 👋

I am extremely wonderful and deliriously happy. I moved to Finland 2 weeks ago, and everything is going brilliantly. Our children are getting on very well despite not sharing a language (Google translate is very helpful 😂). Finland is beautiful, and I feel very at home here 🥰

We are currently reading through Sanctuary together to remind me of everything that's happened so I can start writing again, so it'll be a few more weeks before there's an update but it is coming.

I want to thank everyone for their support and patience. You've all been so lovely ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I think it's time to admit to myself that I'm not going to get any more writing done for at least a few months. If you've read the most recent chapter of Sanctuary, then you'll know that I found my soulmate a few months ago. What I didn't mention in the a/n is that she lives in Finland, while I'm in the UK. Being in a long distance relationship results in a lot of time spent texting 😂 and I'm in the process of wrapping up my life here to move there to be with her. I just don't have the focus for writing with all of this going on. But I will be back, that's a promise, and I expect to be in Finland by October at the latest ❤️

[cyborgsquirrel]

Just to say I hope you’re having a good new year and January hasn’t been too hard.

Hi anon 👋

That's so sweet of you 🥰

I am having a very good new year, thank you, and January has been filled with smiles and laughter. I've been very busy and thoroughly distracted, but the next chapter is coming, just very slowly.

I hope you're having a good new year too ❤️

Thanks to the UK postal service strikes my Christmas present from my friend in Finland was delayed, but it finally arrived today and I'm so delighted. Look what she made me 😍

I have Marauder chopsticks. This is the best present ever. I'm so happy 😍❤️😁

Sanctuary has basically sustained me throughout the last two weeks of holidays, work, and a general loneliness. Not only did it help me through a tough time, but also allowed me to make a really difficult decision a lot easier. Thank you for writing such an amazing work :) I look forward to the next chapters.

Hi anon 👋

I'm sorry to hear you've been having a hard time, but I'm so pleased my fic helped you to cope with it. I've always used stories as a source of comfort in my life and nothing makes me happier than knowing my writing is doing the same for others, so thank you for taking the time to tell me this. I really hope things get better for you soon. Try to remember, nothing lasts forever ❤️

I haven't been writing for a week because I've had excruciating back pain and being creative in that way was impossible, but to distract myself I decided to turn all the written communication in Sanctuary into pictures. 170 of them, which is why the word count has gone down by 21,000 words 😳. That includes letters, event posters, wedding invitations, newspaper articles, notebook messages, and that one florist card. They all have unique fonts for each of the characters that (imo) fit their personalities/backgrounds, and I just finished uploading them all 😁

[cyborgsquirrel]

Hi, I just want to send you some love and HUGE THANKS for Sanctuary, it is truly a masterpiece and I enjoy every chapter!

Hi 👋

Thank you for taking the time to send me this. Waking up to such a lovely message has made my day ❤️❤️❤️
