Facts, Fics, and FAQs

I’m Lovesbitca8, AKA Julie Soto, AKA Juls Beth. I’m a professional author and fanfic writer. 

I’m not taking any requests or prompts at this time for fanfiction. 

All of my works can be found on my AO3 profile. 

My Official Transformative Works Policy is here, including information on translations, bookbinding, etc.

You can follow my author Instagram or my fandom Instagram. 

As of April 2021 I have closed my tumblr Asks so I can cut back on social media time. 

As of December 2024, THE AUCTION is no longer available online. I do not support it being reposted to fanfiction websites by individuals who are not me.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do I have to read The Right Thing To Do/All The Wrong Things before starting The Auction? A: It is not necessary to read TRTTD and ATWT before starting The Auction, but is it highly recommended.

Q: What order should I read the Rights and Wrongs series in? A: Suggested Order: The Right Thing To Do All the Wrong Things Birth Right  The Auction When What’s Right is Wrong (oneshot) Wrong Time, Wrong Place (oneshot) All Right (WIP)

Q: Are you writing a Draco POV for The Auction? A: I have no plans to write a Draco POV. It would be a very dark work, far darker than The Auction already is. Yes, I could only write the “happy, angsty, sexy parts,” but that doesn’t interest me at this time. I never intended for The Auction to have a Draco POV counterpart.

Q: Where can I read the happily-ever-after drabbles from the TRTTD universe? The babies, the wedding, Grandpa Lucius, and babysitter Harry? A: Those are posted in my WIP fic All Right. 

Q: Do you have any fic recs? A: Unfortunately, with how busy my schedule is, I don’t have time to read as much as I’d like to. My fear in rec’ing is that I’d leave off many wonderful fics if I provided a list of recs. 

Q: Did you take down your Reylo fic The Food of Love? Can I still read it? A: I did remove it from AO3. I am turning it into an original novel! I am no longer sending the PDF out.  

Q: What does your username mean? A: It’s two great Buffy the Vampire Slayer quotes smashed together.

My Official Transformative Works Policy

In light of the questions I’m often asked, as well as some recent developments in fandom, I wanted to share a formal policy about engaging with my fanfiction content.  💜

(1) I do not allow my work to be reposted in English on any fanfic platform (i.e., Wattpad, AO3, FFN, or livejournal). The linktree in my bio contains links to my official fanfic accounts, where you may read my work in English.

(2) I allow non-English translations of SOME of my work to be posted on fanfic platforms as long as I am properly credited as the author, and a link is included to my original fanfic on AO3 or fanfiction.net. As I am slow to respond to DMs, please assume this policy to be your approval to translate. Once your translation is posted, please send me a message with a link so that I can refer fans to it.

As of 12/31/24, I have removed The Auction, Wrong Time Wrong Place, and When What’s Right Is Wrong from all fanfiction platforms. I no longer allow translations of those works. If you previous completed and posted a translation into another language, I would appreciate you removing it. 

(3) I allow anyone to create a podfic / audiobook, fanart, fanfic, songfic, fan edit / aesthetic, fan video, or live action fan creation inspired by my fanfic, as long my story and authorship are properly acknowledged. These creations must not involve any profit, except for individually commissioned fanart (which I do allow). If you post a fan creation inspired by my work, please include a link to my original fanfic on AO3 or fanfiction.net. If I’m on the platform, feel free to tag me so I can admire it. 🥰

(4) I allow individually-made bound books of my fanfics for personal use or gifting purposes, as long as they are profit-free and my authorship (and any artists) are properly acknowledged. You may make them yourself or order them from a reputable fandom book binder.

(5) I allow individual commissions of book bindings of my fanfic, as long as the charges are strictly for materials and shipping, and no profit is made. I do NOT allow my fanfics to be printed using any type of commercial / mass printing platform (e.g., Barnes & Noble, lulu).

(6) Whether the bound copy of my work is for personal use or a gift, and whether it is self-made or a commission, permission must be obtained directly from the artist(s) BEFORE printing any fanart within the pages / typeset of my work, or as cover art. The artist(s) must consent to the manner in which their art will be used, including text overlays. If you are commissioning a bound book of my work, ask the book binder they have received artists’ permission before you order.

(7) I do not allow typesets of my work to be hidden behind a paywall (e.g., Patreon) for any reason. I do not allow fandom book binders to charge people for “slots” / the opportunity to commission a bound copy of my fanfic.

(8) I allow merch depicting concepts that have appeared in my fanfic (e.g., a canvas bag saying, “My Saturday Girl”) as long as no reference to my fanfic, my pen name, or Warner Brothers’ intellectual property (e.g., “Harry Potter,” “Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger”) appears in the description or title of the product. The merch must be disambiguated from Harry Potter IP. I ask sellers to be fair in what they charge / to not take advantage of fans of my work, and encourage people to learn how to make their own merch.

(9) Recently, I became aware that fans have found a way to group together and order multiple profit-free commissions of my fanfic from a non-commercial book binder for a reduced price. Unfortunately, given recent developments, I am no longer able to allow anything other than individual, profit-free commissions.

Thank you for supporting my work, my policies, and for the beautiful things you’ve created to help share my work with others.
