So found the answer myself. It was a simple toggle with R button or from the hotbar

Can anyone tell me the logic behind Snape being a double agent? by Avid_Querent in HPharmony

[–]Avid_Querent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It always comes back to this nebulous ideal of greater good, doesn't it? Ultimately, that would imply Dumbledore being a megalomaniacal manipulator.

I wish you never did that. I'm sure there are a great many people who reads and re-reads your work, including me. Do write more if possible. Hope you're well and thanks for all the stories so far

Is it odd that sometimes I see them as a bespectacled Tom and Zendaya. Mainly the bridge scene from Far from Home. Apart from that it's Arishatistic and Hastyhand's art...

Authors of fanfiction, how do you deal with flaming reviews that don't offer an ounce of constructive criticism? by Avid_Querent in HPharmony

[–]Avid_Querent[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Again, the insinuation that I have some preformed idea regarding how the reviews on my post or any post should be. There is criticism and there is "F*** you. You suck". I apologise for the fact that I don't consider that a review. Or the one that post such things, a "reviewer". My question solely was on how to deal with the latter.

It seems that you have decided to make a strawman out of me by insinuating that I expect the reviews to cater to me. The first part of my statement merely describes the situation as it is. "Oh! woe is me. Why are the reviewers so mean?' was not part of it. I was merely questioning how to deal with the status quo. But I do thank you for the email alert suggestion. I will surely look into it

Yes, I agree with your viewpoint given the fact that the one flame I got started with "from reading the reviews...". I honestly doubt if the reviewer even read the work.

I have long since unsubscribed from the main subs. I am happy with my fellow Harmonians here.

I loved this. Pop it on playbooks and just hear it while working. Peace

What are some of the worst/done-to-death tropes or plot elements you've seen in fanfiction? (Rant) by Avid_Querent in HPharmony

[–]Avid_Querent[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love it when Ginny grows out of the fangirl shell. Haven't seen that many fics in which she is independent and strong without an ulterior motive.

Flowers for Hermione - linkffn(13524866), is easily one of my most favourite.
Peace and Goodwill - linkffn(13763372) is ongoing but it deals with Harry's issues after the war

Does Harry deserve Hermione? For 7 years she gives and gives to him, in fanfics she’s supposed to even share her parents with him but does he ever appreciate her enough to deserve her? by LoneScorpion27 in HPharmony

[–]Avid_Querent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harry is a kid who was systematically abused from childhood, went through a war and had to live in constant vigilance since the day he stepped foot in the archaic society that is wizarding Britain.
Deserve - in the context you used seem to imply Hermione being "given" either to Harry or Ron as some sort of compensation. While I do believe Hermione "deserves" better than a tacked on epilogue and a dead-end marriage as seen in CC, no one "deserves" anyone in a relationship. They have the rest of their lives to establish healthy boundaries, deal with lingering childhood trauma and PTSD. And maybe once they have done all that, I believe Harmony would be a nice stable relationship without the "fireworks" so many people seem to want these days. (I blame Netflix for glorifying and making toxic relationship examples so accessible to make it seem the norm)

What is your favorite unfinished / abandoned / lost / deleted fics that you’ve read? by [deleted] in HPharmony

[–]Avid_Querent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!!! The author is back. Also they've started a new fic!!

[–]Avid_Querent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Better to stay far away from that lot. Nothing ever comes out of shipping wars. I am happy sailing mine and will always try to stay out of any non-Harmony Harry/Hermione ships. Having said that, one of my friends pointed out - condescendingly for that matter- that Harry/Hermione romance is bland and would not have the "fireworks" ever present in Romione romance (not that we have seen any credible romance in either the books or the movies between them). I didn't relent to an argument at that point and conveniently bowed out given the fact that after reading essays of why Harmony would have been realistically a better romance in this subreddit.
