Thank you SO much! I never in a million years would have ever considered writing her had Corvidae not prompted me and sent a bunny nipping at my ankles.
Honestly, a few of the things that happened to Millicent in the fic *did* happen to me or people I knew; I just wizard-ized them and adjusted them to the personalities of the HP characters. The carriage thing DID happen to me, but it was a car, obviously. :))
This was both hard AND easy for me to write - easy because I could identify with Millicent, and also HARD because of the same reasons.
I really didn't want to make her go get beautified or go and lose a bunch of weight or anything because that just felt *cheap*. Besides, we know that doesn't usually happen in real life, and I wanted this to seem real or at least identifiable on some realistic level.
I am thrilled that you enjoyed it so much; I wasn't sure this would go over well. :D
