To SMiki55, the idea of the new Witcher game incorporating a Lynx School that mirrors the fan-fiction isn’t an appealing one.
This is what makes recent events surrounding The Witcher series and the School of the Lynx so interesting: it began life as a simple fan-fiction article on The Witcher wiki before suddenly being teleported into the limelight when CD Projekt Red announced its next game.
Though, for Witcher fan-fiction writer SMiki55, one of the two authors of the School of the Lynx fan-fiction along with Witcher190, the last few weeks haven’t been much more hectic than usual.
The story behind the Lynx School fan-fiction certainly is interesting and a tad ironic, given that SMiki55 admits to having been sceptical about the merits of adding more schools to the franchise at the time of The Witcher 3’s release, explaining that with the arrival of the game “Witcher schools seemed to increase in number but the lore for many of them continued to remain very shallow”.
