Re: words
Thank you for being honest about what you thought - I admire that very much. I must admit that I'm baffled as to why you were *blinking* at my mention of foreskin - everything I said about it, which was minimal, was accurate. I wonder if you thought the same in the other two fics in this exchange that mentioned foreskin. I know some people are simply grossed out when foreskin is mentioned, but most English males grow up with them and I thought that would be a natural thing for Harry to look at and be a bit awed by since he no longer had his.
And yes, that aspect was perhaps sharp compared to the focus of most of the fic, but that's life - we don't get to choose what happens in our lives and how those things happen. Sometimes things are rough and sometimes they are easy. I prefer my fics to reflect that.
Perhaps that is why I am not an author who gets rec'd right and left - I really do write what I want to write, and don't care much about conventional styles or themes.
I am seriously considering playing in this universe some more - there is a lot more to share, so if I get the time, that could happen.
