Postgrad: A Review of The Golden Enclaves, by Naomi NovikPostgrad:

            It can a difficult task to introduce an entire world or setting in a fiction novel, or really any fictional story medium.  We see the cracks especially in movies, when taking the time to fully immerse an audience in a world can end up slowing down the pace, while skipping over world-building can lend to a feeling that things do not make sense.  Books, on the other hand, allow for other options, specifically in a multi-book series, such as a trilogy.  Some series, such as Naomi Novik’s Scholomance trilogy, take the path of keeping the setting relatively contained at first, then opening up the world to the readers and characters as a payoff after spending so much time immersed in a single locale.

Hogwarts HR: The Dark Tree, Sequel to Hogwarts Department of Human Resources, Is Now Available on Archive of Our Own

National Novel Writing Month 2022 has come to a close with another completed story! At nearly 60,000 words, Hogwarts HR: The Dark Tree is my longest nanowrimo project to date. The sequel to last year’s project, Hogwarts Department of Human Resources, this story takes place a few months after the first with the focus turned entirely onto the house-elves and their attempts to create the very first house-elf union. I had a great time writing this story, and I hope everyone will have a great time reading it!
