Oh, excellent on the novella! I think I'll be friending you on LJ to keep tabs, and because I like your writing. And yeah, it felt like you had prepared enough of this world to support much more--not in a bad way, in fact it's one of the things that most impressed me, how I could feel a past and future that didn't happen to be shown in this particular story but were still out there. (Especially the future! I'm feeling the long, plotty exploration of James out of Azkaban and society all a-twitch!)
