Narcolepsy Quotes
These quotes had me laughing tonight. So I thought to share.
My invisible illness is more real than your imaginary medical expertise.
Narcolepsy, 0/10 would not recommend.
I don’t look sick? Well you don’t look stupid, clearly looks can be deceiving.

To the anonymous reviewer
This past week I received an honestly discouraging and rude review. Someone who hated any Death Eater + Hermione pairings, who thought to make them fall in love was sick and disgusting. Well, I have just one question for that reviewer: what are you doing reading them then? For that reader/reviewer I'd just like to say, I'm sorry you felt the need to spend your time hating on my writing and the writing of Death Eaters + Hermione, in general. You wasted your own time, and mine because I read your trash review, but there is enough fanfiction out in the world that you should be able to find something you like. Your disdain for Death Eaters is obvious, so maybe just ignore any stories that feature them.
This reviewer also said that "begging" for reviews is unbecoming of me, and I'll answer that with, I don't feel I'm begging. I feel mentioning at the beginning of every chapter is a reminder to the people who read this story that every word is compiled into a story that hopefully you enjoy. And if you happen to enjoy the words I've shared here that you would share your own words with me.
In the future to reviewers who believe it's appropriate to leave reviews like this one, please be aware that while I was capable of receiving this review and finding it ridiculous, not everyone in the fandom will be able to receive that review on a bad day and not let it affect their mood or self-esteem.

To continue from my last post, I'm going to go over some of the reviews left on updated fanfics.
Mine
"The moment I got the notification that this updated, I just stopped everything and started reading. Definitely late for class but no regrets!" -sibsty9: I'm sorry if you were late to class, but I'm so glad you have no regrets ;)
"You have the perfect blend of hot and sweet. Excited for more:)" -pgoodrichboggs: What a great compliment, I'm glad it's a good blend. I could always write him less caring but that's just not how I see Alphas as a whole acting. Unless you know you're talking about Cormac.
"Noo these are easy to short lol please write more soon!" -keahiast: these have been short chapters which I've been writing a lot lately. I'm not sure if that will change, but hopefully I'll have more frequent updates.
"OK I'm gonna need to dip in cold water lol" -Margareitha Malfoy-Nott: me and you both. -"She's perfect, and Malfoys settle for nothing but perfection. He should up his game and make sure she will never want another Alpha." -Black Banshee: Would Draco really leave anything up to chance ;)
Please leave reviews if you questions or would like to hear back from yours truly. Thank you for all your kind words.

I wanted to try something new and highlight some of the best reviews I received and also take the time to answer any questions about the story. I will cross post this onto my tumblr and share that I'm doing this on FFN & A03! If you see your name and want to comment feel free <3
Of Wands & Wishes
"So I’m in love with this! I normally don’t take a chance on works in progress but I saw the post on DEE and just had to read it! This is amazing and I can’t wait to read more! Great job grabbing the interest of the reader! I patiently wait for the next update!" -ScaryPoppins: thank you so much for this review, truly this is one of the best ways to feed my muse. I'm so glad you're taking a chance on my WIP, because even I struggle reading WIP sometimes. I'm glad I grabbed your attention and I hope you enjoy the next few updates!
"Loving this so far! Can you put the translation next to the Russian in the story? It can be difficult to go back and forth. I am so excited for more!" -Midnight997: so I seriously considered doing this, and I came to a compromise. For LONG translations where Antonin is speaking full sentences, I will put the translations next to them. For his constant terms of endearment I'll continue to put them at the bottom because eventually we might all memorise them (me included)
"So far I am really loving the way you are painting Antonin's interest in Hermione - he is curious and obsessed without being a complete madman, he retains his keen intelligence which is one of his best characteristics! I can't wait to read what else you have in store for these two." -Aayla-Secura.302: I am a fluff writer first and foremost and while I love to read dark and dangerous Antonin, I have never been able to write at that level. I'm glad you enjoy this mentally sane but still obsessed Antonin.
"Say you gain the allegiance of Ollivander's wand, you would control the wands Ollivander created, but he isn't the only wandmaker. Granted that's a bunch of wands in Great-Britain." -Black Banshee: So even JK illudes to the fact that Ollivander is a regional wandmaker, considering even Fleur who's only across the channel didn't have a wand made by him, instead having one with a hair from her "grandmuzzer's". So I would agree that he would with this loop-hole if you won over Ollivander's you would win over most if not all of Great Britain.
"holy fing f. I'm kind of in love with your muse..." -Bibbity88: I'm so glad, I'm impartial but I love her too. She's wicked and very playful.
"why would he stay in prison with all of the power he holds? Not that he wants to rule the world, but wouldn't he want to be free somewhere else in the world? This is the only thing I do not understand, but I am sure you have plans for all of this!" -frekles: oh I can't wait til you find out why he's staying in Azkaban ;) never fear dear reader I would never leave that question up in the air, for long anyways ;)
"love this characterisation of Antonin, seeing the deeper Russian soul is a great way to start my weekend -thank you" -Guest: I'm so glad this started your weekend off well. Antonin is very deep in my mind, as are all people and I just love his Russian heart.
"So basically the first thing the Minister and head of the DMLE should do is send aurors abroad ito get new wands from wandmakers other than Ollivander. At the very least the Ministry’s law enforcement should have wands that will be unable to be controlled by Rookwood. Once that’s done, other people should be able to get new wands, but the authors shuld be first because they’ll be on the frontline and will be useless without a weapon." - Guest: Such a great theory, you really should be a writer ;)
"Peak Britishness. A cuppa, lol." -Bibbity88: you have NO idea how high of a compliment that is for me.
Alright

Conveying Worldbuilding Without Exposition!
(As requested by both an anon and @my-words-are-light)
One of the hardest parts of writing speculative fiction is presenting readers with a world that’s interesting and different from our own in a way that’s both immersive and understandable at the same time.
Thankfully, there are a few techniques that can help you present worldbuilding information to your readers in a natural way, as well as many tricks to tweaking the presentation until it’s just right.
Four basic techniques:
1. The ignorant character.
By introducing a character who doesn’t know about the aspects of the world building you’re trying to convey, you can let the ignorant character voice the questions the reader naturally wants to ask. This is commonly seen in cases where the protagonist is brought into a new world, society, organization, etc, but non-PoV character put under the same circumstances can be equally useful.
It works best when the inclusion of the ignorant character feels natural. They must have a purpose in the story outside of simply asking questions.
2. Conflicting opinions.
A fantastic way to convey detailed world building concepts is to have characters with conflicting viewpoints discuss or argue about them. Unless you’re working with a brainwashed society, every character should hold their own set of religious, political, and social beliefs.
Examples of this kind of dialogue:

To make up for my lack of art have some kylo cape snuggles
full resolution
I ship it so hard man, its killing me.
OMG!
Here is Kylo’s expression when Rey is being tortured up in the sky.
You can tell how hard his is for him to watch. He’s supposed to kneel looking down when in the presence of his master. But he stills a nonplussed and shocked look up quickly at her. But really quickly looks back down. He’s still afraid of Snoke. He’s that tortured and abused child in this moment.
He’s been through this before. But watching the one person he cares about in the Galaxy go through this… it’s his own personal hell. You can tell this shakes him to his core. But he can’t do anything about it yet.
This all changes though… because when Snoke slams her into the ground, hard and says you’ll have to die. That’s when Kylo finds resolve in what he’s going to do. He’s no longer shook; he’s livid. Angrier that we’ve ever seen him thus far.
He’s no longer that scared little boy; he grew up in an instant and put someone else before himself. He has a purpose now. And that purpose is Rey.
It’s important to note. That I think in that instant, he realizes he’s in love.
Snoke doesn’t care about him… but Rey does. She’s all he wants. And Snoke went way too far.
That’s when we get this look of pure venom. And you’ll notice when watching, he holds this gaze a lot longer than when she’s being tortured. He’s calculated what he’s going to do, and soon, her suffering will end.
^THIS IS A MAN WITH A PURPOSE AND IN LOVE.
The Galaxy beware….
(No wonder he’s so full of spiraling rage when she rejects him….)
He is not thrilled with her being tortured.
Love this moment 💛
