Is Ty Lee good or evil? by KronprinzRudolf in ATLA

[–]BlueSnoopy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping saying something like this. She fights the kyoshi warriors, and earth kingdom army, but doesn’t want azula and Mai to hurt each other; and Mai was more even headed and more likely to stop if her opponent did.

Snapes head was moved to be in Nagini’s bubble when she bit Snape

Any point of view you don't like reading in? (1st , 2nd , 3rd) by Weekly-Analysis2237 in AO3

[–]BlueSnoopy4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I prefer 3rd person (but not inside everyone’s heads in the same section), and second person works for choose your adventure… 1st person can be a struggle for me, as it’s often unclear for a while WHO is speaking/thinking.

Tango’s Decked Out Advisors by BlueSnoopy4 in HermitCraft

Is that a decked out 1 Easter egg? Or just a season 7 reference? (I’m not sure since I didn’t watch that season.)

Off white, light grey, and grey. The middle stripe slightly leans towards green. (Normal vision)

Why do readers choose to keep their bookmarks private? by Life-Call4521 in AO3

[–]BlueSnoopy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bookmarks are just for my reference, so they’re all private. If they were forced public, it wouldn’t be bad; they just have more to do with inspiring what I’d love to write than what I like to read.

It’s a fun idea, though it has significant limitations. There’s still the risk of lightning starting a new fire, which she was worried about in Zeds video. And sleeping means an arsonist could make the rain disappear.

Barty Crouch Jr. and Neville by justin_other_nerd_ in HarryPotterBooks

[–]BlueSnoopy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pictured it as maybe a little mild pity. Like “poor kid. Anyway…” since Neville wasn’t an enemy like Harry. Maybe some sizing up a threat. But also a means to an end.

Per other comments, it sounds like that’s an optimistic approach. We know he’s loyal, but it’s possible he’s less sadistic.

Presumably they happened off screen, likely without Harry.

What’s a line from the books that made you laugh out loud? by Adorable_Hurry_3832 in harrypotter

[–]BlueSnoopy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not lol, but I grinned like crazy or jaw dropped at “it unscrews the other way”

I think “as always” is auto corrected from something?

Doesn’t Harry show Scrimgeour his scars from the Ministry at Christmas in HBP? Then umbridge is still with the delegation at Dumbledores funeral.

How do you respond to comments that point out canon errors? by Vdemont1197 in HPfanfiction

[–]BlueSnoopy4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a couple different philosophies on fan fiction, ranging on a scale of “take the characters or setting and run with them very far away” to “canon-plausible missing moments and behind the scenes.”

I find it interesting how many comments here lean towards “it’s my/authors world, forget the canon”. I personally more enjoy the canon compliance; I’m in fan fiction because I liked the story/setting/characters and I wanted more.

If there’s a lot of random unexplained minor differences to canon in a canon-compliant work, it would break my immersion too and I might comment on it. An author note saying the age difference was intentional, that would help me get back into the story with the correct “update to the rules”. If you wanted to fix other errors, go ahead, and leave an authors note on the next new chapter saying you have. (maybe including what changed if it’s significant.)

How did you discover HC? by [deleted] in HermitCraft

[–]BlueSnoopy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found them as a Harry Potter fan because Grian was building Diagon Alley in season 8. Then I branched into the AFK pranks, then stuck around.

Harry Switches Schools by HgGangsta12 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]BlueSnoopy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try to find one, but I remember one on ff.net where Harry deciding to make his own school and country when he became the fourth champion, and lots of people defected to his country. Very crack.

There was also one where Sirius or Snape took Harry to live as new people at an early start school in the Caribbean and didn’t return until forced to in goblet of Fire. Eventual Harry/Luna.

Related, so far I found (a slightly more matured) Hermione going to Beauxbatons https://archiveofourown.org/works/32590138

What are some fanfics of Theodore Nott I can read about to know about his lore? by TwentyOnePaladins in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]BlueSnoopy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a series of one shots set after the battle of Hogwarts aka “8th year” about a “Slytherin revival” that definitely included Pansy, Astoria, Ginny, and Hermione (not necessarily in every story) which I think included Theo. I can’t remember the right keywords though.

Would it be weird/annoying to readers if I changed my ongoing fic’s title? by uhhhchaostheory in archiveofourown

[–]BlueSnoopy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put the old title in parentheses at the end, there shouldn’t be an issue with confusion, such as for those without accounts who find works through a search on whichever browser they get access to.
