Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • I Knew It!: Yudowsky was very impressed by how many people guessed how Harry was going to handle Hermione's trial.
  • Schedule Slip: Around Christmas 2011, nearly four months after Chapter 77 was published, Chapter 78 was finally done, but to spare the readers the nerve-wracking wait between its cliffhanger and Chapter 79, the author decided to finish Chapter 79 first. When that one was finished three days later he then decided to finish the whole arc first because his speed had improved so much.
    • But three weeks later, he was already finishing chapter 81 and explaining that he was still making backwards edits to all the unposted chapters. So most of the complainers have stopped complaining and asked him to just post more often on his progress :).
