> Consider that Mr.Yudkowski [CH 122 spoiler](#s "pretty much provided us with an open world to explore, albeit one with some magically bound agencies, Harry Dumbledoring, and a few main quests to tie down. You could do nigh anything.")

> I'll try to read and leave reviews on all spinoffs that are attempted and shared, and I'm down to bounce ideas and drafts. This seems like a golden opportunity to dip toes into rational/rationalist writing.

>>> Ye, I am aware of these marvellous compositions.
|
|
>>> But with the Harry Potter & Lord Voldemort story complete, there's now a sandbox world of a rational universe that can be explored in any way desired. One could have humanist, rational but non-rationalist rebels fighting against a utilitarian dictator Hermione, the political career of the Girl Who Revived could be a story, or one could spin a tale of a super-powered unicorn Heroine wandering the earth, doing moral deeds and scratching lethifolds. It's like we finished the main campaign in Skyrim, and we can now do whatever we want.
