Something New Appendices

Appendices to Something New. My world-building notes to this Alternate Universe.

1. Introduction

Introduction

I've been working on the third chapter of my story, Something New (which I'm thinking of retitling), but I end up writing about the world instead of forwarding the plot. I like world-building very much but it shouldn't get in the way of telling the story and I'm not good enough yet to do both simultaneously without turning my dialogues into wikipedia entries.

Now I know this is basically not allowed in ffnet but since they don't allow for appendices in their format, I hope to squeeze by.

The information here is not necessary to forward the plot, if it is then I'll place it in the story proper. Instead this is to stem my verbal diarrhea and allow this come out without interfering with the proper flow of my story. Besides, I'm rather proud of my world-building and I kinda want to show off.

In the spirit of fanfiction, all this is up for grabs. If you want to use any of this, please feel free to do so just acknowledge me somewhere and we're all good.

All the information here will be in posted at pace with the story to avoid spoilers. When Harry learns something new, I'll update the corresponding entry. I'm thinking of giving each section/article its own chapter so it's easy to find and identify.

Unless otherwise stated, all my entries are fanon and written precisely to be used in my story. My primary reference for canon material is the Harry Potter Wiki. I know it's not as accurate as the HP Lexicon but it's easier to use so I'm using that instead. I'm not writing a dissertation here, for fanfiction-writing purposes, it'll serve.

Finally since the people who are here have an interest in world-building and perhaps curious to see how they can use my material for their own fics can I just please remind them that's it's DOLORES Umbridge, not Delores? Please? For Harry's sake it's not rocket science and it's not like you can't find this out. It doesn't matter if you don't have the books, if you can post it on the internet you can check out IMDb, the HP Lexicon and the Harry Potter Wiki. It drives me up the wall! Thank you.
