#ScribesAndMakers September 10: Our next featured creator is an acronym. Do you use acronyms in your work?
Yes. Part of the inspiration was the education system, and part was The Thick Of It, both of which are acronym soup. I knew that no one in government would deign to call wizards "wizards," so I came up with MAI (Magic Affected Individual) as a euphemism. I did not realize how dumb acronyms would get though, and I should have had it spell out MAGE.
