Have You Ever Considered Just Writing Your Own Stuff Rather Than Plagiarizing Someone Else's

What made you guys first read Harry Potter?

I first read it because a girl I liked was a fan and I wanted to impress her 🙃 didn’t work, but now I’m stuck in this fandom heh

Why do people use ‘the anon switch’TM as an excuse to be assholes? Its intended purpose is obviously so you can fangirl over your fav writers’ updates at a level that would be embarrassing if they actually knew who you were

. "Someone out there vividly remembers something you said, which you have completely forgotten."

Most likely true, although it’s almost 5am where I’m from and I haven’t slept a wink and I get paranoid when tired so please explain this ominous ask 💀

Thoughts on Regulus

I am honestly conflicted on how I want to portray him in the story. Like, personally, I love him and the idea that maybe he created a public front where he pretended to hate Sirius and his friends and such, but when he couldn’t sleep he’d send his older brother an owl requesting to sneak around. I’m an older sibling, and I really could not imagine being separated from my brother like that. I would refuse, as much as I’d like to strangle him sometimes, I would also die for him.

But then, I also have some ideas on how it would be if I went the usual route of making Regulus automatically cut him off when Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor. BUT, also, what part of this rewrite takes the usual routes?

ANYWAY. I might use a combination of both. Because I think Regulus was a complex character who was, like his brother, abused.

Being abused by your parents is a strange thing, sometimes, because it can either develop profound hatred towards your abusers, or create some sort of attachment and need to please the very people that hurt you. And I really want to explore that with Sirius and Regulus and how each of them dealt with their issue at home.

On a lighter note, I read once a headcanon that said that Pandora (Luna Lovegood’s mom) was maybe friends with Regulus, and I loved that idea so much. Mostly, I think of them quietly rebelling against their families. And I wholeheartedly believe that Pandora helped Regulus with the locket after she was inevitably kicked out of her family for marrying Xenophilius.

unsurprising, indeed ┐( ˘_˘)┌

Am I throwing whatever JKRoach wrote about werewolves out the window for the sake of my fic? Yes, yes I am.

do you ever think about how you have such double standards for fic writers vs book authors and tv/movie writers?

like you don’t like when fic writers do xyz, but when you read it in a young adult novel you have no problem, or you see it on the screen and you love it.

that’s just so funny to me. the hypocrisy is so funny to me.

you’ll bitch about an age gap fic (even though both characters are concenting adults) but you adore call me by your name which has a 17 year old fucking a 24 year old (and i’m not bashing cmbyn i love that movie i’m just using it as an example).

you’ll bitch about adult fic authors writing minors having sex with each other but you’ll watch gossip girl where teenagers are fucking like crazy on screen.

you do realize that all of that was written by adults, right? most of the media you consume is created by adults. and when we write about teenagers fucking it’s not because we want to fuck teenagers. that’s gross. we’re writing about experiences, and we’re writing coming-of-age stories because we’ve already fucking been through that shit and we have life experiences that you don’t. if we didn’t the content you would have would fucking suck. it would suck.

most of your favorite fic writers are adults. your favorite novels and tv shows and movies were all written by adults. and if you enjoy that media anywhere except for when it’s in fics why is that? is it because fan fiction authors are more accessible to you? is it because you can find us on discord and tumblr and tell us all about your favorite and least favorite parts of what we’ve written? and you can’t do that with the authors of your favorite novels and the writers of your favorite tv shows and movies?

i just think your hypocrisy is bullshit, and maybe you should think more about what the fuck you say to people who write things for free. no one is forcing you to read anything. if you don’t like it don’t fucking read it and leave the people who do write it alone.

Send me "have you evers" and I'm gonna answer with yes or no

Before I get into the main post, I wanted to adress the tags. I appreciate you being unbiased, and respectful towards my own opinions on the Marauders, truly appreciate it. Also, I don’t remember seeing you interacting with the post, and I can’t really go back to the post and its notifications since I deleted it and also muted the notifications received from reblogs. Either way, I think the comments were fine, my main concern were the anonymous asks I was receiving. Neither you, nor any other Snape stan have to apologize, by the way. I know the death threats were wrong, but I am also partly to blame considering that I recognize that I came off very aggressive, so I guess you can say that I also have tone issues. I am okay, thank you for asking. 

Now, on to the main point of this post. For the Marauders’ Era of the rewrite, since there’s so little that we know of them, it’ll follow some of the main plots like the “The Prank”, the Sectumsempra incident, the Marauders becoming Animagi and such. However, once they graduate, I’ll take matters into my own hands. I think that the Marauders’ era will be more about fixing the original, messy worldbuilding and making the war to be a bit darker. I’m excited, as I’ve got a couple of twists up my sleeves. 

Anyway, I hadn’t really considered the scenes when Remus and Sirius try to keep Harry from going nuts on the assumptions that Snape is a Death Eater by this I mean I completely forgot about that, but if you can tell me which chapters, I’ll be sure to reread them and see how it works for me. Thank you!

I do believe a lot of what we’re canonically shown through Snape’s memories, I just have a hard time believing that it’s exactly as he says it is because there’s also a lot of other things that we also know that really don’t match up for me. However, you’re right. The Marauders, as we’ve seen several times, were more about actions than words - which I think worked well (given all the lengths they went for each other, and later, for Lily), but also horribly (considering how they would react to getting insulted). 

In my rewrite, I want to balance it out a bit so that it’s them constantly trying to one-up each other because of their rivalry (sort of like Harry and Draco). But, like I said, once the Marauders cross the line to humiliate Snape, a lot is going to shift for them. 

I would love to chat with you about personal headcanons or theories, as I find myself enjoying that quite a bit! Only if you’d like to, of course. 

I have some advice for a way to portray the Marauders and Snape's relationship! They bullied him, but Snape was never defenseless (except for That Prank) and I think it started from some animosity on the train during their first year, them Snape continued to be a jerk. Snape seemed to be the only person that they were constantly picking on, so must've done something to earn their ire. They were pranksters, but not normally bullies. Most of the students and teachers had mostly good things to say about them.

I think a good way to portray it is that the Marauders and Snape constantly being at each other's throats in small, petty ways. The Marauders would only go after Snape when he deserved it or was being extra bloodcult-y. They were bullies because they all ganged up on him, but I don't think that was always the case.

I think they had some kind of moral code - they were Gryffindors after all, if nothing else, their honor would've stopped them from always going after him physically - so it was usually just one on one or two to one. The others would be the lookouts, or help them plan. They'd insult him and he'd fire right back.

Most of their pranks were harmless, I think, except for The Prank. Mostly cutting words and petty actions that didn't mean much at the time, but mounted up to he quite annoying.

Hope this helps!

Hey Anon!

Firstly, thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it.

Secondly, I've been interacting with some Snape stans because I wanted him to be humanized. Snape, as well as the Marauders, are going to have a lot of flaws, but also a lot of good traits. There are going to be times in which the Marauders prank Snape unprovoked. There are going to be other times where it is going to be Snape who's going after them.

We're going to see a lot of Snape's softer side during their fifth and sixth years, after his relationship with Lily ends. Lily will be grieving for their lost friendship, and will sometimes talk about fond memories with Snape. I don't want to spoil it too much, that is all you'll be getting.

Now, Snape is not going to be defenseless. He will lash out and get his revenge when he feels is needed. But neither will the Marauders. For the majority of the story, it's going to be a mutual rivalry, until the moment they humiliated him in front of the school - this incident is going to shift something within a lot of people, for the better or for the worst.

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people

Hello! I hope you don’t mind me sending a request/idea via ask! :) For your re-write of the main series, I would love to see Sirius, Remus, and Harry get the happiness they deserve. They were done such an injustice in Roach’s series, because they had a lot of potential that was just wasted. I’d love to see Sirius get his name cleared at some point in your re-write series, and then he and Remus able to take custody of Harry. Then they become the mentors and parental figures he always wanted and needed to help him on his journey.

I would never mind anyone leaving asks or making suggestions! If anything, I love them!

Anyway, Remus and Sirius will get a much better ending regardless of whether they become Hari’s guardians or not. Although the story might indeed favor them as parents, since it’s what most of you seem to want.

You can read the first two chapters of the story now if you want, it might take me a minute to get to the third and the rest of the story due to college being a lot more hectic than i’d originally thought it would be. I’m still trying to find a good balance between school, socializing, and writing.

Thank you, Anon, for the wonderful request!
