Because it just wouldn’t be December if I weren’t running this, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be hosting 25 Days of Draco and Harry again this year. For those who may not be familiar with this challenge, I have included the detailed rules at the end of this post. You might want to read them first, so that you can understand what the rest of this post is talking about. And for the loyal fans of 25 Days of Harry and Draco: In 2020, we will be doing both Early-bird and Traditional prompts as usual. Again, we’re running on LJ, DW and tumblr – the rules will be the same as last year. I have two announcements and I hope you’ll be as excited as I am! First, given life right now, I’ve decided to make the early bird prompts available earlier than ever before. This year, early bird prompts will be available no later than: Sunday, October 25th!! That gives writers a full 5 weeks and some change to work on their posts. Second, there is going to be a Discord server specifically for 25 Days of Draco and Harry participants. The details are being worked out – but this will be a place where early bird participants can discuss (in a room just for them) the prompts and how they might use them. Traditional participants will join the general section of the server in December. More on this later.

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.

In an attempt to curb his desperate loneliness, he ventured into the Muggle world. There he found more than he could have ever dreamed. Harry Potter was a mess after the war. Isolated from everyone he had ever known and loved, he ventured into the Muggle world to lose himself. Instead, he found himself and so much more. Or how Lucius and Harry learned that sometimes being different is exactly what you need to be sane. A/N: Special thanks to my amazing beta, @moonlitmarauder Prompt: Self-Prompt Extract:
He brushed soft kisses over Harry’s forehead and over his black curls. “What do you want now, Harry?” he asked.
Harry wanted to sleep, right here against Lucius, the gold of his skin firmly pressed to the silver of Lucius’. But he knew that’s not what he was being asked about. “I want you,” he said simply. “You have me,” the man replied. Harry could hear the smile on his face in his voice. “I want you to be my Daddy,” Harry whispered softly, a bit nervous that he was taking it too far.
Lucius’ breath hitched sharply and his arm squeezed Harry’s shoulders almost possessively. “I would like nothing more, darling boy,” he said with an intensity that delighted Harry. Harry grinned. Different but better, indeed. Read ‘Something Special, Something Sacred’ on AO3
