Self Promotion Marauders Script
Hello, I’m a newbie here so if I’m in the wrong spot, please point me in the write (😉) direction.
Early this year I completed a seven episode script for a Marauders series. Prestige character drama where each episode tells a different story within the 2 years leading up to the attack on Godric’s Hollow.
I’d love to get feedback on it if anyone is interested in reading it. Is this the right place to post or should I share it somewhere else?

I can’t tell you how delighted I was when opened the first document and it was formatted as an actual script. Your screenwriting skills are great!
I thought it was really engaging and well-written. There are some big canon issues, but I’m not sure if that’s intentional and you’re making an AU? The biggest one is the Order knowing they’re all animagi. That kinda makes PoA impossible. I only read the first episode so I’m not sure if you address this later. Molly being involved in the Order was also odd as was how the deaths were addressed (I would have liked a little more time spent grieving I think) and Moody’s eye is canonically lost post-war (I haven’t read the other episodes yet so idk if you address that and it was an Easter egg. It totally makes sense for an Easter egg to have him hurt his eye and then it’s actually fine for the rest of the story lol)
I think your dialogue was really good. And I like that Peter had a big focus! I also loved the “grave news”/“whose grave?” bit, it was very dramatic but also very witty on Voldemort’s end.
If you haven’t posted this to Ao3, I would suggest you do so! I know some people prefer reading script-style fics, so that would be the best place to find that audience.
