Expected differences between Seattle Central and UW:
- Glamour of this time-honored campus
- More homework
- Better resources (libraries, technology)
- More specialized classes
Actual differences:
- Long walks (I am going to have buns of steel)
- Heavier textbooks (and be built like a small tank, or at least burro)
- Big puddles, invisible until you step in them (hiking boots it is)
- No elevators in old buildings (oh yeah, I'm getting in shape)
- More homework. Much, much more.
- Better libraries
- Worse computer services (congrats to Central's techies)
- Classes so specialized they gleefully give new meaning to the word obscure.
In fandom news, I recommend (if you can) getting your stories on the Sugar Quill. The reviews they give are detailed and beautiful. The trick is to have your fic ready and hit "Send" the millisecond their next opening is available.
The Metronome looks to be a hit.
( And the use of music, especially that diabolical organ. Was it something Tom found, and was he using Lucius to determine its powers? Or did he invent it himself? )
( I've never read a young Lucius fic before, but suddenly he's really interesting. Riddlemort is frightening, mainly because he seems human but isn't really. )
( I'm not generally a big Malfoy fan, but this fic really made me sympathize with Lucius, something that's never happened before. )
( But really, it's the irony of what Malfoy asks of Riddle that just makes the story. He binds himself to slavery to gain the shadow of freedom. )
( Wow, this is a beautiful work! Beautiful language. )
( Other than that, I thought you did a great job in making it believable that this sixteen-year-old could become the Lucius we all know from the books. )
( ...you show us a part of Lucius that is somehow worthy of respect, scum though we know him to be from the books. His character as you've drawn it is fascinating; not even JKR's Lucius has made me want to know more about him )
( Very interesting take on Malfoy; most stories I've read have him joining the Death Eaters because of the cause (ie-- eliminating non-purebloods). But this take on Malfoy's meeting -- and his requests/wishes -- is very believable. )
*Icarus rolls happily in Gen reviews.*
