Thanks, lady. I like parts of the story a lot-- the Original Character of great grandfather Septimus is wonderful, as are some others. Sometimes the characterizations waver -- Snape and Hermione sometimes seem cut and pasted from an Austen novel and not at all themselves, and unusually talky. And Dumbledore is certifiable in places. But if you suspend disbelief at that, some scenes realy are lovely. And you're right-- the descriptions of the rooms and the society are really well done.
I may hit 50K this month, but I could still miss it if I slack off now. This is really the last weekend to accumulate tons of count, and I'm running out of ideas. That part is really kind of scary...
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. And get to work on your own writing, even if it's not for Nano.
