Me: I have a whole scene playing in my head, dialogue and everything

Also me: opens laptop, types "the man walked into the room" and stares at it for 45 minutes

What if I said Regulus's first word was "dada" but he was referring to Sirius and not Orion? What then?

here is your daily reminder to COMMENT ON THE AO3 FICS YOU READ! it goes such a long way, especially if it’s a multi-chapter work and you can only leave kudos once. ANYTHING is an acceptable comment—emojis, keyboard smash, screaming, in-depth analysis! i promise you, the writers want it ALL

Chapter 7 is live!! Enjoy :)

“I love you,” James said, looking away from their mirror images and looking directly at the boy beside him. “In an uncool, incredibly desperate, life-altering way, I love you.”

Little sneak peak of chapter 8 of My Bare Hands Paved Your Path ;)

Chapter 6 of my fic But My Bare Hands Paved Your Path is now out!! Highly recommend reading part 1 of this series, "Who's Afraid of Little, Old Me? (You Should Be.)" if you haven't already.

This is part of my First Wizarding War, somewhat canon compliant, somewhat canon divergence longfic. There's Jegulus, Wolfstar, Dorlene, Marylily, and Rosekiller with some Black Brothers AngstTM, Regulily friendship, and some other shenanigans! Part 1 is Regulus's 5th year, Part 2 is Regulus's and James's 7th year, and Part 3 will be Post-Hogwarts. I hope you all give it a chance <3

as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!

AROMANTIC PEOPLE

ASEXUAL PEOPLE

ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying
