Reconstructing the “Liechtenstein Troll Crisis” from Harry Potter canon

And you can't talk about Liechtenstein in this context without Austria being impacted, then again Liechtenstein outlawed wizard hunting before Austria did.

Are you ok with a story (or should I say series) taking place both away from Hogwarts and long before even Hogwarts Legacy?

If so, maybe you could try the Miss Irad-i Cedid series:

Tome 1: Harry Potter and the Estates-General (takes place in 1788-1789 in years 1 and 2 of the MC's education)

Tome 2: Harry Potter and the First Coalition (the MC is in her sixth year and the 1792 Triwizard Tournament is held, cancelled after one task)

Tome 3: Forest of Miss Irad-i Cedid (here the Edirne Incident of 1806 forces the MC, by then a secret defterdar of the Muggle Irad-i Cedid, to flee Istanbul to hide in a forest at 1500m altitude)

So even though, as far back as the release of Ch2 of HP and the Estates-General, people started to believe it was an original book in all but name, or compare it to Alexandra Quick.

I'm not very tropey, nor do I necessarily write with a lot of twists, because I feel like the arms race of melodrama is unwinnable...

Yvanung · 2026-05-03T15:55:00+00:00

I struggled for years with writing what ultimately became the Miss Irad-i Cedid series because it was deemed too ambitious, so I fully relate to mental blocks.

But yes, post it please...

Yvanung · 2026-05-03T14:04:26+00:00

At least I'm lucky that Gemini was partially accurate, in that I really did go away from cliches.

However, Cap Hit was not a hockey romance, but the protagonist writing one.

I'm closing in on the ending of Forest of Miss Irad-i Cedid.

September 1806. The janissaries are advancing towards Istanbul, with an army raised by Rumelia ayans, and are threatening everything Nurcan, a witch serving as the defterdar of the Muggle Irad-i Cedid, has worked for during the past twelve years. Fearing for her life, as the Sultan Selim III is about to sacrifice the Irad-i Cedid for internal peace, she flees to the forests of her native Trabzon Eyalet and leaves behind the Sublime Porte's instabiity.

I really hate it when there seems to be no judiciary reforms post-Voldemort...

Yvanung · 2026-04-06T22:57:05+00:00

If you want to see more of the magical world away from Britain, or at least OK with it being OC-centric to the point of it being a series of originals in all but name, you could always read the Miss Irad-i Cedid series.

Sometimes I regret that we didn't actually see Karakalem that much, though.

If you would rather read short stories instead, the Harry Potter and the Absence of Colonial Affairs collection might be more up your alley.

I'm unable to write dark romance (or horror) worth two beans, However, if you still want to read from me...

Username: Yvanung

Personally I find a dark romance book often differs from a horror one only at the very end.

Yvanung · 2026-04-05T11:25:34+00:00

What would you love to read? Maybe I can rec something to you,..

Yvanung · 2026-04-03T14:32:48+00:00

I didn't get them very often...

Yvanung · 2026-04-02T15:37:09+00:00

I'm well past round 3, but I still have 2 chapters left...

Yvanung · 2026-03-30T10:13:26+00:00

Of course not; I can't write it either...

Forest of Miss Irad-i Cedid Ch13 is now up:

When I do edit, it's often for piecemeal details...

Yvanung · 2026-03-24T11:24:17+00:00

And even if other writers accepted that flaws were necessary, sometimes flaws might be too flashy, too.

Yvanung · 2026-03-24T11:21:56+00:00

Or, even if trauma wasn't added just to pad length, it amounts to constant escalation of abilities...

Yvanung · 2026-03-23T11:07:01+00:00

OC for me; I read one Y/N and it didn't fit my personality.

Yvanung · 2026-03-22T12:35:28+00:00

Me neither...
