hi, darling!

i've a question and i swear it's not a nit-pick, i'm just curious bc i think i've been reading frank wrong in mgtstww (christ, those are a lot of letters).

anyway, in the first ch, it says that frank is the captain for the ravenclaw team but i could swear that i read later on that he was sat with the hufflepuffs???? is that me just being completely dumb and silly?

anyway, i do apologise if i read it wrong, i was just wondering bc the little we see of him in the fic is very hufflepuff-y, i suppose lol. also, again, if i read it wrong i do apologise bc i remember commenting that he's the epitome of a hufflepuff boy and now i'm embarrassed lol

hope you have a great day! thank you for the story, too. i fucking adore it.<3<3<3

Hi! Wow that is really lot of letters haha, just mgts or Marauder's Guide (mg) is fine!

Thank you so much for bringing this up because you're absolutely correct!!

Don't feel embarassed at all because I also see and write Frank as the hufflest of the puffs! There's a certain point I want to make in the story so I purposefuly put some of the side characters into houses that at first glance seem different. It's also to reflect Peter being in Gryffindor. So, Frank has many qualities that scream Hufflepuff, but he was sorted into Ravenclaw. But I bamboozled even myself and made a mistake in the story, he was indeed sitting with the Hufflepuffs. I never would have noticed so thank you!

I will have to correct it and also think about if he should stay in Ravenclaw or not but either way I'm really glad to know about it!

Have a great day too and thank you so much for your interest and your love for the story! Really really appreciate it! <3 <3

Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

Haven’t posted updates because I’ve been too busy working on it. I believe I should be able to finish TODAY. Unsure when I’m posting. It will take some time to prepare given the enormous amount of new chapters (27 I believe... yes, really, 27) and the fact that all the existing chapters need to get moved around and I need to look over EVERY single chapter before posting so... Yeah, it’s going to be an ordeal.

Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

Only 6 entirely new chapters left to write. It’s mostly editing from here on out. Unsure how long it will take to finish now but not too long. Maybe a couple of weeks? Certainly before the end of February.

Another Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

11 chapters, 16k ish words. Puts me at about half done for new chapters written. Feeling pretty good about reaching my spring goal. The only question is how long edits will take but I’m not anticipating edits taking long given that most of what I need to change is continuity stuff.

Another Marauders Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion Update:

8 chapters done, around 10k words total. The nice thing about planning to drop this expansion all at once is that I don’t have to stress about chapter length. These chapters range from about 2k words to only 800 (they average around 1300 words.)

I have 11 chapters to write before I get to the stuff I originally wrote, though there will be more new chapters mixed in with the old still. I believe in reality I have about 14 new chapters to write total, most of which should be short.

My goal remains having it done by summer but I’m secretly hoping to have it done a bit sooner than that. I think a spring release is entirely possible, if I don’t hit any major writing blocks before then.

Marauders’ Guide to Sexual Intercourse Expansion updates:

Eh, why not? Gonna make this a little more informal than my Poly Marauders updates.

So first a little perspective on how big this expansion is: Currently the published version is 14 chapters long. Right now just in terms of chapters that get us to where the fic ends right now, I have 35 outlined. Now it’s worth noting, most of the new chapters will be very short (not much more than 1k words). Just not enough meat on the bones for some of the subjects.

So far I’ve written 3 new chapters and I’m working on the fourth one, for a total of 3.6k words. Now, it’s worth noting that I only just finished working on Poly Marauders so the chapters that are written were done pretty randomly. That being said, this isn’t my only project right now so my energy is still split with other things (but not TOO many other things.)

My goal is to have this expansion done by next summer. I write around 200k words a year so 6 months is about 100k and I think that’s plenty to get this done and good amount of other stuff as well.

I have outlined to 50 chapters BUT I think I’m going to be posting the expansion once I’m caught up to where the fic already was since otherwise it would likely take more than a year for an update and considering it’s already been two years...
