Bludger, Please! A Hogwarts AU, is now posting!

IT LIVES 

My betas, @sexydexynurse and @sailorsav are my heroes and I could not do this without them. Shout out also to Sav and @acepoindexter for all the cheerleading and research help during nano. And to the entire Check, Please! 18+ Discord for cheering me on as I slowly lost my mind over the month of November.

Chapter 1 is up now! 

Muggleborn Liam Poindexter has never quite fit in at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That’s all about to change, though when he goes out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. There’s only one problem, he gets put on a Beater pair with Derek Nurse, who seems to know how to push all of his buttons.

Derek Nurse is stoked to make his house Quidditch team with his two best friends, Chris and Liam. What could be better than chilling with his favorite people all the time?

Updates on Sundays

Nursey: I wasn't hurt that badly, the doctor said I was bleeding internally.

Nursey: That's where the blood's supposed to be.

what do people without a hyperfixation think about all day??

[shitty-check-please-aus]

AU suggestion

Dex’s family runs a tree farm. He spends his days baking cookies and wrapping trees in twine. Nursey, an aspiring writer and heir to the Nurse Artificial Tree Company fortune, is sent by the company to research what exactly draws people to real trees as opposed to fake trees. Derek isn’t expecting a Christmas romance, but soon falls for Will’s rugged looks and the smell of real trees. The only question is: will Will forgive him when he learns the truth?

100 notes and I’ll write the gay Hallmark movie we all deserve.

Getting a new hyperfixation:

[cfiesler]

I have talked to four journalists today and have agreed to write a press piece that I need to start on, but obviously it’s important that I finally sit down and post on Tumblr, too.

This is a weird feeling: I literally think that I am the world’s foremost effort on the potential impact of Tumblr banning adult content.

Here’s why: I’ve done a bunch of research about the genesis of AO3/OTW, and most recently, a large-scale study of fandom’s migration across platforms over time. I can tell you for a fact that both fanfiction.net’s and LiveJournal’s bans on adult content resulted in fans leaving those sites–and in LiveJournal’s case, essentially the death of that platform for fandom. 

The image above, if you haven’t seen it before, shows fandom platform use over time, and the red line that dips drastically is LiveJournal, after “Strikethrough 2007.”

Here’s another finding from that study: That policy was the #1 reason that fans left LiveJournal. For every other platform, fans mostly left because something better came along, but nope, for LiveJournal, it was specifically because of their crackdown on “obscene” content, and what that signaled to fandom about how they were unwelcome there.

I’m going to be posting more about this in the coming days, so watch this space, but here’s my tweetstorm from today, here’s a CNN article I’m quoted in, and here’s another Tumblr post with an optimistic view. As I wrote recently in a TWC piece about how I see the future of fandom, “fandom is not helpless to external forces—to platforms, industries, or even policies.” I believe that.

If history repeats itself, then Tumblr might fall as LiveJournal did - but something better might come to take its place.

I finally finished the @omgcheckplease POP set complete with Lardo and Frogs. I love how these turned out.

every few months when the haus is in need of extra repairs Dex turns into gritty and intensely fixes everything, he has no memory of this. .
