It seems like HPMoR is on hiatus... not sure if it's been abandoned yet, but I wouldn't expect an update any time soon.

This was rather lazy of you. If you had just checked the latest author's notes you'd have noticed that Eliezer mentions a hope to post the next chapter before March 11th.

Even if you don't expect his update to come that soon, this hardly qualifies for a "hiatus" or even worse "abandonment", when the author expresses the desire to post the next chapter at start of next week...

I guess I had the author's notes page cached; I force-refreshed it just now, and saw the latest update. Good catch.

What bothers me is that the AN dated 28 Feb was posted on 7 Mar. What happened in the intervening time?

(My personal guess is that Eliezer was attacked by ninjas.)

Edit: Oops, that's exactly what the great-grandparent is about. Never mind.

The note was edited-in as part of the 77th chapter, so it probably updated as part of the mirror of that chapter quickly, but was explicitly recognized as a note only a few days later and copied in the correct section.
