Fanfic (re)recommendation: Marissa and the Wizards

[inverarity]

I have recced Marissa and the Wizards, by JCCollier, before. It's one of my favorite HP fan fics, starring a Muggle-born girl named Marissa who is a parentless child of the São Paulo slums, before being invited to attend the Witness Stone school of magic located deep in the Amazon rain forest. Anyone who likes "foreign magic school" OC stories (admittedly a small niche) cannot miss this little gem.

Sadly, though, the story appeared to have been abandoned. So imagine my surprise when a new chapter was posted today -- three years after the last update!

I can only hope this means JCCollier is writing again, and there won't be another three year wait for the next chapter.

I happen to love foreign magic school OC stories. Do you know of any others?

OC Wizard Schools

Well, there is Für Das Größere Wohl (http://fanfiction.mugglenet.com/viewstory.php?sid=80838), by Tim the Enchanter.

There are several other American school fics in my America in the Potterverse (http://www.fanfiction.net/community/America_in_the_Potterverse/55015/) list.

I know I've read a few others, but I can't remember them... there was one on FictionAlley set in Russia.

I thought I had put this on my story alerts but maybe it expired or something. Anyway, I really liked this story too, so thanks for letting us know. :)

Thank you for reminding me to bug Tim about updates...

And that I really need to work on my China story. I think I'm going to have to scrap what I have and start over. *sigh.
