I would recommend reading this before starting on “BANNERS” my new Hogwarts AU, as there is a lot of things that won’t be clear from the start.
I have been wanting to do a multichapter, and decided that now was the right time – Except this turned into so much more than ”just” that. There is no way this won't be confusing at first, so here I am, making an introduction to help simplify things slightly.
So – As many fanfiction readers know, there is always, always, ALWAYS a Hogwarts AU. And this fandom probably has one or more too, I haven't looked it up because I don't wanna get inspired by others for this, I want it to be my own completely.
This Hogwarts AU is gonna work a bit differently though – Since it has so many characters (I think I ended up with 19 queens?) it will not be like a regular multichapter where each chapter is a continuation of the previous.
Instead, the chapters will be from different POV's at different times doing the school year. Chapters also won't involve all the queens – Instead it will involve the queens relevant to the character who's POV it is.
Let's say a chapter is in Roy's POV – Then it is likely you will see the other Ravenclaws (Sutan, Brian), some of the other year 7 queens (Ben, Latrice) or Adore (because Roy's main pairing will be with Adore, so they will likely have many chapters together.) and less likely that Sharon and Alaska for example, will appear. But when it's from Adore's POV, you might see both Sharon, Alaska AND Roy appear in the same chapter. They're all tied together through different friendships.
Next thing I need to explain: The male/female names.
To me, drag doesn't work at Hogwarts. It is just to much work to make it. Instead, I have decided to do a cis-AU – Some of the queens are female, and will be written with their drag names, and some are male and will be written with their bio-names.
I considered doing a cis-girl or cis-boy AU, but to me it seems unlikely that all of my characters are gay, so I have made a mix so we will have all types of couples (m/f, f/f, m/m)
If this bothers you, now is the time to leave the fic.
If you are not very familiar with the queen's bionames, I will add a link at the beginning of each chapter to a document containing a list stating: bio and drag names for the guys, and house and year for everyone.
This way you can also quickly look up to check if you forget what house/year a certain character is in (It's a lot of people to keep track of, so it's probably gonna be needed)
The queens will be in years 5, 6 and 7, which means they will be between the ages 15 and 18. (in reality some in year 5 would be 14, but they aren't in my AU.)
There will probably not be an over-all plot in this, and it will mostly contain of everyday life-pieces and the various relationships going on between the characters, but if you have any ideas or things you'd like to see that you see fit in this fic, just let me know and I'll be happy to read your ideas!
There will be tons of different couples, including, but not limited to: Biadore, Trixya, Pearlet, Shalaska, Pharon, Jivy, Jalaska, Rajila, Witney and so on. If you have couples you'd like to see, just ask and I'll consider it!
With that said, ANY questions are welcome, you can ask me on my personal tumblr here, so we won't spam up AQ :)
I hope you enjoy it! xx
