Awesome Story

That's the beauty of JK Rowling's world. It's the idea of another world with a different culture and society that a talented writer like you can elaborate exponentially on.

I've been reading a lot of your other stories and I especially love how that when you characterize Remus, you always explore lycanthropy's place in society and the financial issues that come with being a werewolf. You always have this link between Rowling's world and our world (like diseases like AIDS or just being disabled).

In Kaddish, the part where Remus talks about how wizarding culture doesn't quite accept trousers from muggle society reminded me a lot about of how developing countries try to emulate other more modern cultures but at the same time feel their traditions are threatened by it. How wizards are fearful of muggles and how religion kind of factors into that really kind of parallels reality.
