I hope readers will like it should I ever get around to actually posting it. That requires working on it though, and that happens very sporadically for me, even isolating as I am. It will be compliant with the first four books. Readers won't need to know the video game as I explain how the weapons work through the story (through the training) and I also plan to have some author's notes providing some more details, but I want to make things clear in the fic so I don't have to do some long exposition separate from the story itself (not the mark of a good author if they have to further explain something rather than telling it in the story itself). The difficulty comes in making some aspects work in the HP world, but so far it's not going too badly since what I'm creating is something that wouldn't be out in the open in the HP world anyway. It's no different than earlier stories creating their own aspects of magic in that universe.
Ah, I see. I for one can't tell that English isn't your native language. It's fairly common on AO3 now for authors to indicate if English is or isn't their native language when they post a fic in English. Sometimes it's easy to tell and sometimes it's just as fluent (or even more so) than a native speaker's English.
I'm not well known either considering that very little of what I've written is up on AO3 and that's not likely to change any time soon. I was reasonably well known in the Snarry community because of how prolific a reader I was. One year I read and commented on every single fic and art posted in one of the Snarry Games fests and I got an icon to indicate that, lol. That set a precedent for the next fest, but I didn't comment on every fic that time and I didn't even read them all since some fics had premises and plots that didn't appeal to me (I'd give it a go and then stop). As it is with fandoms now, I'm not at all well known. Fandoms have, in my opinion, gotten larger thanks to the internet and because of how fanfic has become almost mainstream. It's not uncommon for actors and such to get asked questions about it and/or shown fanart, and most are good sports about it. In the early 2000s even with the Internet making things easier, fanfic and fandom in general were not something openly talked about.
