a lot of fic rec lists focus heavily on long fics but here’s a shoutout to short fics they give so much snack-size joy i hate how writing short form is sometimes looked down upon it has its own challenges and deserves so much more respect and love because a well executed short fic can ruin your life in 20 minutes
thank you to @rae-lune for the tag <33 so happy i have something to share this time! here’s some more platonic moonflower from lotf ch 4! they’ve honestly taken over the chapter a bit and i have no control over it 😌
“God, Lily, why do you let me do these things?!” Remus wails, flopping down on the bed so his face is squished into the pillow.
A giggle comes from his phone. “I don't have any control over you, Remus. You did this yourself,” Lily says.
“That's not true! You know you do!” he whines. “You encouraged me to flirt with him!”
Lily sighs. “Yes, well, I didn't think you were going to have a great big panic about it.”
“That's not true either,” Remus complains, exaggerating the pout already present on his face. Never mind that she can't see it through the phone; she'll know it's there. “If you don't know me better than that by now that's entirely your fault.” He finishes strong by sticking out his tongue.
She sighs again, and Remus begins to feel rather offended. What has he done that's worthy of two sighs?
np tagging @goldenprophetwrites @madefortherain @tortoisebore!
I don't like this notif 🥲
“I either do one shots or 800k fics no in between” “700k is the average for me” “60k is a short fic for me lol” what if I kill you and then myself
GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
When I tell you that I have read fanfic characterizations so OOC that they'd classify as an original character, trust me I have read THOUSANDS. But you know what I don't do? :) Tell the author of those fanfics that they might as well classify that character as an original character if they're going to write them like one. Because that's fucking rude. People don't owe you your preferred characterizations. The back button is free.
the tiktok marauders fandom is actual hell on earth bro. were you guys actually planning on watching it until snape was cast as a black man? were you all not pissed about this remake the second that it came out? sorry but this is clearly JKR’s last attempt to cling onto any bit of relevancy that she has and you all are just… buying into it! i literally do not care if you pirate this show, you should not be giving it any sort of attention whatsoever! if your final straw with this reboot is snape getting cast as a black man because it makes your fav fictional characters look racist, you really need a reality check. this reboot was full of problems from the beginning and everyone chose to ignore it because “yay new harry potter content!” genuinely so unbelievable
