I love how it’s JAMES telling REMUS not to be dramatic.

The Harry Potter Hookup Map needs your help!

HPHM is a scholarly project and fanfiction resource that is trying to investigate where queer intimacy happens in the world of Harry Potter. We’re reading Drarry and WolfStar fics and mapping each intimate or sexual encounter, trying to see if certain places within the world J.K. Rowling built are more open to queer sex than others. Does the Room of Requirement make the best hookup spot? Or is the Shrieking Shack more secluded? Or maybe its best to just make out in front of everyone in the Great Hall?

Our goal is to better understand how fanfiction writers make space for queer relationships, how they (or maybe I should say we!) interact with the canon, generate conventions, and what types of spaces in the wizarding world are available for queer sex. This will help us theorize about the way fanfiction writers read, form communities, and actively resist the largely heterosexual work of the canon. At the same time, the completed map will serve as a resource for fic-finding!

YOU CAN HELP! We desperately need readers to help with the huge volume of stories we want to catalog. It is incredibly easy. You’re reading fanfiction already, right? Why not fill out a quick form about your story and help the pursuit of knowledge! You’ll find the Google Form HERE (https://goo.gl/forms/63bsgMyOhvYcAUHJ3). Note that at the moment we’re looking for Harry/Draco and Sirius/Remus stories, but we will be expanding that list as the project goes on!

Are you a programming or computer wiz who can help two graduate students? We’re looking to make the map more self-sustaining and could use your help automating certain data processes as we go forward. If you’re an undergrad or graduate student we’re also more than happy to help speak with your department and try to get you class credit for your help! Email Eli ([email protected]) or Elle ([email protected]), we’d LOVE to hear from you.

Wait, so in Gryffindor Tower, if a boy tries to go up the girl’s staircase, it turns into a slide, right? What if one day a kid sets foot on it, but it remains stairs, all the way to the top, and at the top the kid whispers “I knew I was a real girl”

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz.

fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!
