Fic: Develop, Stop and Fix

Title: Develop, Stop and Fix Creator: Anonymous Prompt: #266 Career Theme: Draco - Curator | Harry - Photographer Rating: Explicit Warnings/Content Notes: Light Angst, Accidental Identity Porn, Mistaken Identity, Misunderstandings, POV Alternating Summary: In his five years in New York City, James Black has earned significant fame as a photographer. In fact, he’s attracted the attention of London curator D. Black. Harry Potter uses a fake name and runs away. In a way, so does Draco Malfoy. How do these stories connect? It’s quite simple: they’re one and the same. Word Count: 15,000 Creator’s Notes: This somehow turned into a love letter to photography, to curating and to snogging in darkrooms. I could not have done any of it without the lovely humans who cheered me on, fixed my commas and my overused words and helped me edit the hell out of this. Thank you! ( Develop, Stop and Fix )

Summary:

Teddy Lupin is a fucking wreck.

When Draco Malfoy calls Harry to retrieve Teddy from Auror lockup once again, seeing a lot of his past self in the kid, he suggests Harry take the young man on a trip for some fresh air.

Harry for once, listened to Malfoy and now is stuck in Norway with Teddy for a month. Can he get through to the man he hasn't been close to in years or will this trip tear them further apart?

Its honestly so painful when the creator of something you love so deeply, rejects your very identity. It hurts. I don't blame anyone for wanting to leave the fandom at all. I keep hearing people say "if you hate j.Karen Rowling just leave the fandom" (okay, they probably don't call her that but i do 🙃) and if people want to, I get it completely. But I don't want to. Harry Potter is something that is a part of me now. It is a part of me as much as having been bullied as a child is, as much as reading to escape the real world is, as much as being queer is. It helped to shape me and I don't want someone else's hate and fear to take away something that I love. That happens enough in the real world and I don't want it in fandom. I reject that.

I've spent hours in thrift shops looking for merch (because I never buy new things if I can help it. This works out even better for me now.) I've devoted so much time to writing fic in this world and appreciating other fan creators and their works. I've got a huge tattoo on my arm showing my love of Harry Potter, a love I shared with the artist who created it. Without this fandom, I would never have met most of my closest friends. This is a big part of my life. It's something that's brought me a lot of joy and a lot of goodness, in spite of its problematic aspects.

If there's one thing I've learned from taking literature classes, its that you can be critical of a work and of its author and still enjoy it. Making that criticism, analyzing the text and the author's life and motives, can be part of the enjoyment. With literary analysis, you're free to take the pieces that have meaning to you and toss out the rest. You're free to connect dots within the story to create your own full picture. And if those dots include criticism of the author, that's OK. And if they don't include the author at all, that's fine, too. That's where I'm at right now.

Another thing that I think about with literature is that it doesn't hold much meaning for me personally unless I can put myself in it, unless I can move in and live there for a while.

Lord of the Rings is basically a story about people walking around the countryside until you feel like you're one of those people, wishing you could just stay with Tom Bombadil and ignore the rest of the world, wishing the ents would maybe be just a little bit hasty. The Stand is any dystopia until you're stuck in a tunnel heading out of NYC, hoping to get to Colorado. Or Vegas, depending on your inclinations. Hell, Ramona Quimby is any random kid until you're sitting in the lunch room with her as she smashes a raw egg on her head.

Harry Potter is just another story about magic and a child hero until you're stepping onto Diagon Alley with Hagrid, until you're brewing a potion in the dungeons and praying that Snape doesn't hate it too much, until you're kicking off on the Quidditch pitch and hoping your House wins. That kind of enjoyment doesn't come from the author at all. Their words have something to do with it, for sure, but it has more to do with our own imagination; it happens inside our heads.

And if there's one thing I learned from Harry Potter, it's that even if something is happening in your head, why on earth should that mean it isn't real?

I guess my point is that I enjoy Harry Potter by analyzing it, by being critical of the text and the author. (And I am critical of her. I hope that she gets some help for the irrational fear that she's propagating, but I don't think she will. She's not there yet, at the very least.) And perhaps more importantly, I enjoy Harry Potter by being a part of it, in a myriad of ways. By being there with Harry throughout the story, by writing about Snape, by looking at the incredible art that people create of the characters I love so much, by discussing it all with other fans. And that kind of enjoyment has nothing to do with she-who-must-not-be-named at all. It belongs to me and to the people I share fandom interactions with. That kind of enjoyment is ours alone.

Yes, she is toxic. And yes, she has hurt me. She's hurt people that I love and people that I don't know who have my love and support, nonetheless. But I don't need her. I reject her. That's not me being a snowflake or whatever you want to call me. That's just me holding on to something that is important to me. Her books, the wizarding world, would be nothing but paper and ink without the fans loving it and making it real, sharing it with our friends and building it in our imaginations. So this is me, this is us, taking our love and our imagination, taking our analyses, taking the pieces that have meaning to us, and tossing out the rest. This is us moving in and living there, free from hate, in the world we've become invested in.

And to the people who say "find another book to read"... I have. I've found a lot of them. But I like this one and I want to keep it. I divorced Anne Rice a long time ago for her treatment of fans, but I still love Lestat and Louis and Armand and Stella and Julian... This isn't new to me. It looks like ima do it again.

Day 9

Title: How to Win at Love and War By: @evenmyzefronposter​ | RoonilWazlibMalfoy Rating: E Prompt: B51 Summary: There was no harm in having fun with some Death Eaters, as far as James was concerned. At least, there was no harm until he hooked up with the Dark Lord himself. That was when the real problems began. Word Count: 10.1k Tags: Marauders Era (Harry Potter), First War with Voldemort, Enemies to Lovers, Humor, Crack Treated Seriously, Blow Jobs, Rimming, Hand Jobs Extract: “Looks like the coast is clear,” he whispered. Long pale fingers wrapped around his hip and he turned, a cocky crooked grin on his face, and sarcastically murmured, “My Lord.” Crimson snake-like eyes gazed at him from an incredibly handsome face, the corners crinkled in vague amusement. Soft waves of dark hair fell over his forehead. Impulsively, James pressed a quick kiss to full pink lips, loving the contrast of the man who was known as the darkest wizard of their age having such a soft mouth. “You could still join me,” Lord Voldemort said, his grip tightening on James’ waist. LINK

Title: how i met your father By: @RickaBlack| Wintermorning Rating: not rated Prompt: F8 Summary: It’s the first school year for the marauders and they are meeting in the Hogwarts Express. There is a reason, however, that Sirius does not tell his godson a detailed getting-to-know story. Word Count: 1.1k Tags: First Meetings, Hogwarts Express Extract: “We met on the train, we were together in one cabin.” He told him now, trying to think back while his gaze wandered absent minded  to the family tapestry. LINK

Title: Just The Way I Am By: @moonlitmarauder​ | MoonlitMarauder Rating: G Prompt: F1 Summary: The Marauders have almost completed their masterpiece, The Marauders Map. The problem for Remus is now he has to tell them his deepest darkest secret. Word Count: 2.4k Tags: Fluff, Coming Out, “Text Fic”, Marauders Era (Harry Potter), Hogwarts Fourth Year, Marauders Friendship (Harry Potter), Marauders Fest Extract: Soon they would see that he was not actually going to St. Mungos once a month for treatment for a ‘family blood curse’. Once the map was completed they would see he was only going as far as the Shrieking Shack. But how did one just come out and say ‘I know we’ve been friends for four years now but did you know that I’m actually a monstrous werewolf?’. He knew he didn’t have much time, there was only so long he could delay putting the charm on the parchment. A charm he’d actually mastered three weeks ago. LINK
