Sorry that your job is over, but at least having time to do things you want to is good. Thanks so much for using some of that time to come back here and leave me such kind and encouraging comments!
I'm really reassured to hear that you liked the twins' voices here, and thought they sounded different from the Marauders. The twins have a distinctive style in canon, and it's kind of intimidating to try to match that.
And thanks so much for commenting on details and continuity. With most fics, before I write a word, I've worked through imagining the scene as a kind of mental movie, so it's pretty visually concrete in my head, at least -- and lately I've been working on trying to include more visual details in the actual writing. So it's great to hear that you like the way that's going.
I hope you are able to secure some time before the year's end to polish off another chapter. :)
I'm going to try! I have large chunks of the remaining three chapters written already, so after the Meta fic (fingers are crossed that I'll finish that one by the deadline) and then one more R/T fic that's already about 80% finished, Order is the next thing on the list. :)
