Let’s hear it for lurkers
So apparently round umpty-zillion of “people are killing fandom by not commenting” is going around, and I’ve seen a few posts trashing people for lurking/viewing/reading instead of actively participating.
My journal and my fic has always been a lurker-friendly zone. I think lurkers are great and people can fight me on this. Here’s why:
We all started out as lurkers. Or at least most of us did. Come on. I’m sure some people out there must’ve jumped into fandom with both feet and started writing and commenting right away, and good for you if you did! But I sure didn’t. I lurked for YEARS. And even now, though I’ve been in fandom since before Y2K, whenever I get into a new fandom or a new social media platform, I still lurk. I hang out around the fringes for awhile to get a feeling for the place before starting to participate. Back in the mailing list/bulletin board days, it was usually recommended that people do that on purpose, watch and listen and learn the local lingo and social rules before diving in. So you know what? You are not doing anything wrong and you are not doing anything that most of the people you see out there commenting and creating and reccing things haven’t done themselves.
We all have lurker days, weeks, months …. Nobody is 100% “on” all the time. Participating in fandom (commenting, reccing, creating content, and so forth) is WORK. It may be fun work, but it still takes effort! Even if you’re sometimes very active in fandom, then you’ll have life fall on your head or the brain weasels flare up, and you won’t have the time and energy to give. Don’t feel guilty about not being able to give fandom your extra spoons. No one in fandom has a right to demand a single spoon from you that you don’t want to give.
Some of today’s lurkers may be your friends tomorrow. How do I know this? Because I’ve made friends with some of them myself! I’ve had people delurk in my comments to say hi after YEARS of reading my fanfic without saying a word. Which I am totally okay with, by the way. And some of these people are good friends today.
So, in conclusion:
It is okay to feel too shy to come out of lurkerhood in fandom until you feel more comfortable there. It is fine, in fact, if you never do.
It is okay to be too busy and have too few spoons to comment or create stuff. You still have a perfect right to be in fandom and read and reblog whatever you want.
It is okay if you meant to comment on that fic or go back and press the kudos button but never got around to it.
It is okay if you have too many accounts already and don’t want to create a new one just to comment/participate on a social media platform.
It is okay if your personal situation (a stalker ex, controlling parents) makes it unsafe for you to create an account or comment on things.
It is okay if you can’t or don’t want to comment or do any of the other things that constitute non-lurkerhood, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation for why.
IT IS OKAY TO BE A LURKER.
This post is a good way to balance a lot of the “COMMENT ON FIC COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT” stuff that I post here. Content creators will always be happy to receive comments, and comments do in fact breed more content but… sometimes you can’t, and you aren’t obligated to. It’s fine to passively enjoy content for whatever reason.
I spent the entirety of my hp fandom days lurking while in a major depression. Lurk away, friendos. You owe nothing here. 💟

“Naturally. Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!”
I'm excited to announce that I have signed a book deal with Del Rey at Penguin Random House in the US and Michael Joseph in the UK for my debut novel, Alchemised, a standalone dark fantasy set in a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy, in which a healer with amnesia is taken as a prisoner of war and must fight to protect her lost memories and the secrets hidden among them. It will grapple with themes of trauma and survival, legacy, and the way that love can drive one to extreme darkness, and it is, as you may be able to tell, a reimagined version of Manacled.
i love mutual pining to lovers because it gives some of the vibes of a love triangle without the needless drama. alternatively it’s like a love triangle except the third person is just mutual stupidity.
No thoughts, just Death Eater Draco. 🫠

We all know James and Lily live a long happy life together but do you know how they met? Was it on the Hogwarts Express where one accidentally bumped the overhead luggage and caused it to drop on the other? Or was it because Lily wanted to know who lets their dog pee on her lovely Petunia that she keeps next to her door and waits to yell at him as he went about his morning routine? Who knows? Who will tell? And just so everyone can know the different answers to the above question, this year’s theme for jilytober fest is…🥁🥁🥁🥁 ‘MEET CUTES/UGLIES!’
Disclaimer: this post is a lil’ long
Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.
Sometimes she can't help but feel like this...thing with James has been years in the making. Then she tells herself that's ridiculous.

Very controlled, put-together, cold characters losing it™️ is one of thee sexiest things in fiction
Hi so Besides Ginny, do you have any other favorite Weasley?
I could write a love letter to every single Weasley. Not just a crappy little “I Heart You” Valentine– a full-on, Darcy-worthy, three-page letter in calligraphy with a wax seal fastening the back.
Even Percy. I also owe him an apology because I keep cutting his best lines in my WIP.
However, about fifteen minutes ago I fell into another subtle Molly-bashing fic. She’s on my mind this morning, so let me throw some love her way.
If you start to think about it, the Weasley kids are accomplished. Smart, funny, capable. Also, consider that none of them (save the twins, but that’s an entirely different subject) have the same interests, the same passions, the same temperament. That doesn’t happen in spite of parenting, it happens because of it. Despite the fanon idea that Molly Weasley is controlling, the fact that her children follow their passions, are brave enough to forge their way forward (and yet, still visit all the time) would seem to indicate that Molly Weasley allows her children the room to grow, discover and be themselves.
She does, though, have boundaries and they tend to revolve around safety. Not a woman who is freaking out about every scraped knee, though. She’s got perspective: here’s a woman who lost her two brothers in a war – her concept of loss is not theoretical, she knows it, she lives it – there are Gideon and Fabian shaped holes in her family, and if she pushes back on the idea of her teenagers being in a war, or doesn’t want them listening to Order meetings, that’s why.
The saddest thing (and most unappreciated) about motherhood is if you do it right, your kids are independent, strong, responsible and they don’t need you anymore. Good grief, the whole job is to make yourself redundant in the end. She’s done that. Her kids take for granted her way of providing safety: home, hearth, a good meal, a laugh, a shelter in a storm.
And that’s okay – it’s the way it’s supposed to be.
Except for Harry. Here comes this kid who needs Molly Weasley’s particular kind of love language so desperately- he recognizes it for love, he sees its value. At a time in her life when her kids are pulling away – as they are supposed to – in comes a kid who needs a Molly Weasley in his life. What her kids see as fussing or hovering, Harry sees as love.
Harry’s as much a gift to Molly as she is to him. Harry gives Molly an “I see you, I value you, what you do and how you do it is important.” He doesn’t even have to say it, he just thrives under her care, she can see. Of course she’s going to stuff him full of treacle tart, made especially because he likes it.
OF all the truths @fizzyginfizz has dropped in her impeccable writing, nothing has ever resonated with me as much as this:
The saddest thing (and most unappreciated) about motherhood is if you do it right, your kids are independent, strong, responsible and they don’t need you anymore.
