The fact that people can make such beautiful things ASTOUNDS me. Like, how?! How do you just wander around while also having such immense talent?!

Top Tier fanfic. It's so fucking good and the fact that this art has the shirt!! Yes!!! <3
"I thought we'd be doing a lot more bending...and stretching." Malfoy's brows went up. "You're certainly ready for action." Teach Me How To Forget by the amazing @scullymurphy Where Hermione's conscious af about her first-day-of-class outfit as if Draco's literally not checking out her bum.
If you haven't read this fic, you're missing tf out. What's better than hunky teacher Draco and student Hermione? Yeah, I'll wait.
Also I've no clue what wand holsters look like but boy am I 100% certain I want to be one. And pouty Hermione is my new fave thing to draw besides Draco's veiny arms/hands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This one has been on my to-do list for far too long! If you were patiently waiting for the smoulder, well, here it is! 🥰
Happy Valentines!! 🌸☀️

What people think why i became a bookbinder: Oh she wants to explore her artistic horizon with those pretty leather bound books of hers. She even gives them out as gifts to her friends. It most likely helps her with anxiety or maybe she just wanted a more special costume made notebook.
Why I actually became a bookbinder: I just illegally downloaded and printed out several of my favourite fanfics and books and started binding them into books cuz I love reading them but looking at screens for too long gives me headaches.
YES this is GOLD DUST. I cannot count the amount of times I've come away from something and gone, "Shit. I didn't bookmark that!"
Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it
@tlaquetzqui thank you so much! This is spectacular. I've been looking for days trying to work out what rank he'd be in - my initial thought was Pilot Officer, which I think might still be right. Such a shame, as Squadron Leader felt more fitting, but he'd be too young, even in wartime. I don't necessarily need the historical accuracy, but I want it to at least make sense to anyone reading it, you know?
My MMC is 25, my FMC is 23 - I'm also looking at the roles she would have played during the war, though I'm kind of looking more into the Night Witches sort of arena for that.
Thank you so much again - clearing up some very confusing and vague aspects of my research here! :)
Help! I can't work out my character's Royal Air Force ranking. I'm looking online but it doesn't make it clear what age bracket you'd fall in to be these roles, especially in WWII...?
Does anyone know or have any resources they found particularly helpful?
No offense to Bonnie Wright in any way, but Book/FanFic Ginny > Movie Ginny. Every day.
And this artwork is top tier.
Happiest birthday Ginny Weasley-Potter !!!!

being a writer is so embarrassing sometimes like awww no my feelings got hurt guess i'll go make up 90,000 words about it. ugh
This is wonderful but my god, why do I keep finding the ones that aren't complete?! I want to know what happens now!!
**Joking aside, this is brilliantly written and the slow burn is delightfully built up.
Commissioned by @willowingscribe for her fic "Lovefool"😊😊!! New chapter is out, GO READ!!

cardan’s letters to jude in a nutshell
That’s a waste of pap— that’s a waste of grief, begging, love and I quote, “indiscreet promises”
the “I expect you to come back now that everything is settled” letter
lol the “I want you to come back but I don’t want to say it so just come be angry at me closer” letter
The second half part though- 😭. the “just come home I don’t care what you do to me but just COME BAAAACK” letter
Cardan be like: tf does this queen think she is not responding to my letters, AKA the “YOU HAVE NEVER DONE MORE OF A SIN THAN THIS JUDE DUARTE” letter
Also cardan: yeah I’m doing something wrong, how about I address this to The High Queen of Elfhame, ha this will definitely work AKA the most heartfelt, poetic and longest letter
At this point cardan just gave up and started doing what he does best: writing Jude’s name in an angry, passionate and grieving fashion. This is called the, “ I give up you win” letter.

Literally writing a verbal fighting scene and it's tense af. My entire body is reacting as though I am the one having an argument.
Am busy doing this.

2. Everyone You Recommend This To Will Love It As Much As You
3. A Clear & Concise Summary Of All Human History
4. A Novel You Once Loved But Have Since Forgotten

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
Character Development Qs
I'm writing a character who thinks her partner is cheating. I'm trying to come up with the list of reasons one would think their partner is cheating.
The usual suspects outside of straight up seeing them out with another person or messages or full-on evidence, kind of eludes me.
Some people I know say their partners acted completely differently (colder, crueler, etc.). Some say they were extra nice. I understand it might be different across the board, but I just want some real-world ideas behind this.
I apologize if this upsets anyone, but how did you/your friend/family, etc. KNOW? What tipped you/them off?

Learn to write by reading lots
Apart from writing as much and as often as you can, the best way to improve your writing is to read.
Read often. Read widely. Read critically.
Learning from other writers is the best way to improve and grow.
