So Grim has suffered the same fate as the EIA draft and I have to thank the fest mods for handling the situation swiftly, reaching out and re-posting, as well as sharing their copy of comments. (I have now commented in the new version replying to all the wonderful feedback received. There were around 16 replies in total that I am aware of and no comment has been forgotten.)
I also must thank the superhero beta-reader team, whose names (a shout-out and a huge thanks to Antuhsa) I can now provide in the story header without breaking the anonymity clause of the fest.
Grim is a quiet and an understated tale (at least that's what I've been going for), and I've been writing it with Sinick in mind, so it's a story for her as much as anyone. It's interesting to look back at the writing and examine it to see which trends and habits are uniquely mine, but guess what, after writing with someone for so long, you realize how huge of an influence they are, even if they're less of a direct influence this time around.
As for the rest, the intro already states:
"This is for all the dogs I've met that would make a great wizard, for all the humans who aren't really dog people, and for anyone brave enough to risk a change, be it tackling house-cleaning as therapy or sharing childhood traumas."
