Marauders Lives

I fell in love with these idiots from day one of picking up the books and have never got enough of them.

Another update! Fucking crushing this, staying focused on one idea thing.

[marauderslives]

Writing fic is an ever constant

saying I'm writing

then staring at my WIP doc for hours

then giving myself a break to read fanfic

Repeat every day of the week

[marauderslives]

Finally read Crimson Rivers. I am in shock, my soul is in scrambles, how do I go on.

New Chapter!

Hope it's a vibe

[marauderslives]

The entire fic has be rewritten to be in 3rd person and to include a few extras I've been working on in terms of magic use and rules.

marauders commissioned by fangirl570, thank you very much!

[marauderslives]

I'd do anything to have a real life time turner. And then I'd abuse the shit out of it.

[hogwartsaheadcanon]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again since no-one has yet given me a valid reason as to why James Potter, lacking a wand, didn’t just transform into Prongs when Voldy turned up and like… fucking spear him. Why didn’t he do that? Like I don’t care how astonishingly powerful a dark wizard he was, no-one could ever be prepared for walking into a house and there’s just… a massive fuck off stag staring you down? How could you possibly react to that? 

You couldn’t, giving said stag the opportunity to put an antler through his eye and save the day. Not to mention, can you imagine the Prophet headlines if that was how it’d gone down?

[jilylicious]

Valid reason coming your way….

You need a wand to assume your Animagus form.

[warmhappycat]

You definitely don’t… Sirius did it in Azkaban.

[jilylicious]

Aha good point then yeah he should have impaled that motherfucker

[antisocialbislytherin]

He was unregistrated, right? I mean.. sure, he would have killed the dark lord, but still, it’s a crime. And then there’s the fact that the others were animagi too, which would lead to them being exposed and most certainly being accused of not getting themselves a registration. Their connections to Remus would be obvious, and I think he’d be exposed too. We all learned about the problems lycantrophy causes, and I don’t think James would have been stupid enough to risk that his best friend lost everything.

[phoneboxcorgi-deactivated201803]

To be fair, you try telling the guy who FUCKING IMPALED Voldemort that he had to go to jail for being unregistered.

[queenelvendork]

Also, it’s the ministry of magic. You could literally say that someone had created a stag by whatever means, and they’d buy it.

[hogwartsaheadcanon]

Another superlative point—"Where did the stag—yes, it was definitely a stag not a deer note that down please—where did it come from you ask? Oh, absolutely haven’t the foggiest Mister Minister Sir—it was just sort of there. Passing through I suppose.“

”…Passing through.“

“Yes.”

“Through your hallway.”

“Yes.”

“And stabbed Voldemort through the eye.”

“Through the eye, yes, and right through the brain: ghastly stuff, Minister, felt absolutely horrid.”

“It felt horrid?”

“I mean… I imagine so.”

“… right. And where did this deer go?”

“Oh, it vanished, Sir, quite spontaneously.”

“…uhuh. So the stag just wandered into your home, skewered a dark wizard, disapeared, and you saw neither where it came from nor where it went.”

“That’s about the size of it, yes.”

“… Yeah okay that sounds legit job done lads.”

[scrabblezard]

Also you cannot tell me that James Potter gave two shits about whether or not it was illegal

[gryphonrhi]

You can’t tell me that Lily wouldn’t say, with a completely straight face, that it was a surprisingly solid Patronus.

[joisbishmyoga]

James’ best class was Transfiguration.  “I made a stag from the coat stand.” “Oh, of course.  Excellent job, sir.”

[marauderslives]

Writing seems to be a never-ending cycle of having ideas, wanting to write that bit, and instead just rewriting a different bit for the millionth time

[pla1nsongg]

Lily: Can you keep a secret?

James: Yeah, we can keep a secret.

Lily: What?

James: Yeah, me and Sirius are like a vault. No one else will know.

Lily: No, I want you to know. I don't want Sirius to know.

James: If you don't want Sirius to know, then why are you telling me?

[vbecker10]

Well this is just annoyingly accurate...

[lavenderandliliesx-deactivated2]

‘you look so tired’ i know babe, it’s because i’ve spent all night reading silly little fanfics of dead wizards from the 70s and wishing i existed in the same universe instead of sleeping.

[catfirebrand]

Me, every time I reread a fic that I love:

[willowcrowned]

fanfiction is so unbelievably stupid you’ll be like oh i want to write about some finctional dudes and suddenly you’re knee deep in two hundred year old inheritance laws

[skadilokiart]

Wolfstar band au, featuring guitarist Sirius and bassist Remus. Remus will always be a bass player to me, he's got the height to pull it off.

Trans Jewish Remus is my new favourite headcannon. Also, clock the wedding rings 👀

[marauderslives]

I love band and music aus, they're such a vibe

[marauderslives]

Opinion Time

what perspective do you prefer to read your fanfics written in? (and if 3rd person what style of 3rd person)

1st Person (I, me, we, us)

2nd Person (you)

3rd Person (they, them, she, her, he, him)

Omniscient (where the narrator knows everything)

Limited (where the narrator but doesn't know motivations of all characters)

Objective (narrator doesn't know anyone's motivations)

[marauderslives]

Personally I prefer 3rd person limited. I find that 1st person is sometimes unsettling, and in omniscient the mystery is removed.
