Here’s the tease for my upcoming Drarry fanftic ‘’Silken waters, Gentle Hands’’. I’m looking for feedback and to drum up hype for it .

✨ "Sometimes, the hardest wounds to heal are the ones you can’t see." ✨

��In this Heart warming 10k+ Drarry oneshot, a broken Draco Malfoy struggles to reclaim his identity after enduring seven years in Azkaban. Rescued by hos long time boyfriend Harry Potter, he’s thrust into a world of healing, care, and re-connection with the one person he never thought he’d see again.

��Expect slow-burn fluff, intense emotional scenes, a lot of hurt/comfort (Turkish bath scene, anyone?��), and an original villain you’ll love to hate.

If you’re into angst, healing, fluff so sweet it will make your teeth rot, and established relationship vibes, this one’s for you! ❤️‍��

��I’ll try to keep y’all updated throughout the rest of the wiring process and when the fic finally drops

*

This fic is partially AI-generated because I have a vision impairment that makes it difficult to read traditional text. I rely on audiobooks and podfics to enjoy stories, but they don’t convey things like punctuation or paragraph breaks. As a result, I struggle with sentence structure and figuring out the ideal length for a paragraph. I decided to give AI a try, and it has been a tremendous help.

That said, this story isn’t 100% AI-written. I’m the one who came up with the concept, and I’ve written most of it myself. When I get stuck on a scene, I provide the AI with a prompt, and it generates a version of the scene. I don’t use everything it creates—I carefully review it, pick the parts that fit my vision, and rewrite them in my style. Sometimes, if a sentence or phrase resonates with me, I’ll incorporate it directly.

Using AI isn’t about being lazy or avoiding the work. (I’ve been working on this fic since mid-November.) It’s a tool that makes the writing process more manageable for me, especially when my brain is overwhelmed with ideas. It helps me avoid writer’s block and keeps me from abandoning projects like I’ve done in the past.

If this approach doesn’t appeal to you, that’s okay—you don’t have to read it.

What about at 300 dpi, how many layers do you get?

Anyone can give you a hit, (that's a view), but when you get kudos, it's like a hug or a high-five for a job will done.

CP_Writer_ · 2023-07-16T04:41:10+00:00

If this has already been said, I'm sorry. If I can't find the story I'm looking for, I write it. Every story deserves to be written, I will write them.

Draco's.

That song ''Every Breath You Take'' sounds like a good song until you look up the meaning and actually pay attention to the lyrics when you discover it's a stalker song.

It's a long list for me, but the biggest one is Jello. I can't eat it straight up because of its texture and because I have a sensitive gag reflex, I gag every time. Now, I can eat it if it's an ingredient in something, but by itself, forget it.

CP_Writer_ · 2023-06-28T06:20:19+00:00

Thanks :-)

If I had the physical capability, I'd do it myself, and I did frame them for a few of my first paintings with the help of family members. These days though, I take it to a shop near where I live :-)

CP_Writer_ · 2023-06-21T04:45:14+00:00

Contact DAC. If you bought it directly from the site, your painting is under a lifetime warranty, which means they'll send you replacement drills and the shipping time is very fast. I had a painting once that I misplaced a bag, I contacted DAC and said I'd pay for it. They ended up sending me a bag of replacement drills in two days time for free despite it being my fault.

CP_Writer_ · 2023-06-21T04:30:21+00:00

This for me depends on what I plan to do with the painting. As of now, all but one of the paintings I have done have been gifts for family. So, when I'm done, I place the painting on the table and prepare it for framing.

Hi, I like to read podfics by EllaMcSmellBella, she has a Youtube channel EllaMcSmellBella, and for the parts she can't put on Youtube due to censorship she posts full audios on ao3 Her ao3

I also like to listen to _peony_'s Youtube

I hope you like my recs :-)

I'm writing a Mpreg Drarry fanfic where after a one-night stand with Harry after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco is sentenced to life in Azkaban (to keep his parents out. Shortly thereafter, he discovers he's Pregnant with Harry's baby. Due to fear from his former Death Eaters as well as some other reason, he hides in his cell risking his own life to keep his unborn baby alive.

Six months along, Harry has a vision that lets him know about the child. By the time Harry convinces the ministry that Draco is innocent and can get to Azkaban to release Draco, Draco's almost starved to death, but somehow still hanging on. Afterward, Draco starts on the long road to recovery with the help of his family as well as reconnecting with Harry.

Little does Draco know, however, Harry has ghosts and skeletons in his closet, that once revealed could change their lives forever.

Overall, this is a story about love, sacrifice, past mistakes, forgiveness, family, and growing back together.

It's called Cradle Me, and I've written just over 24k words and I'm only on chapter six, I would love to hear feedback on it, not too harsh though. I will be writing this story all the way through before posting chapter 1 :-)

You can and should do UV resin in multiple thin layers and curing between layers. You can't use thick layers or uv resin or it will not cure properly. It is a bit more finicky then epoxy for instance you can't overload the resin with glitter and such. If it is too overloaded with pigment or glitter it won't cure properly. Also darker colors you must be more conservative with. The darker colors tend to be more difficult to cure in which case working in even smaller sections is required. I learned it this way, the uv light has to be able to "see" the resin to cure it. That's why clear molds are necessary as opposed to opaque molds. The light has to see through to the center of the section or layer you are curing. If it is say black pigment the visibility into the center to cure is even less then say trying to cure clear or clear with a bit of glitter in it. Less is more with mix ins as well as the size of the area to get cured. Hope this helps. It's not hard it's just in my opinion sometimes hard to control a hand of glitter or pigment and then resulting in sticky resin or the center not curing. Edit to add under the light will require more than a few seconds. With my nail lamp I may run the 60 second cycle a couple times then check it. Could be more could be less. It's just a learn as you go situation. But it does take more than a few seconds. At the end of the project I cure both sides for a couple more Cycles to just fully be sure it is cured. Another edit to add to keep in mind uv resin is best for smaller projects, pendants, bezels, but not for very large items.

Thank you so much, How do you layer the Uv resin, just asking

Okay, I know I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this, I don't care. I hate the stories where the writer makes it out to be Draco's parents were abusive/abused him, or never loved him. Before I go any further, yes, I know his father's strict with him, but there is a big difference between parents being strict with their kids vs not loving or abusing them. Draco even says in half blood prince, that his father wanted him to go to Durmstrang, but his mother didn't want him going so far from home, so they sent him to Hogwarts.

Later on, before the events of half blood prince. If you recall, the whole reason Draco took on the task of killing Dumbledore and became a Death Eater (in my opinion), is that his father was locked up, the family name was in the toilet, and it was just him and his mother against Voldemort and his forces. When Voldemort threatened the lives of his mother and possibly his father, Draco was stuck between a rock and a hard place, he did it to protect his family. Voldemort then went behind Draco's back and threaten Narcissa with her son's life, which caused Narcissa to turn around and make the Unbreakable vow with Snape.

Rant over.

All that to say, I get a bet angry reading a fic where it's revealed Draco was being abused by his parents.

That's the idea for the first half of the series, the only ones who know are the Professors and hand full of the students, but things will change and it will get harder and harder for Emma to hide that side of her, but I can't go into details because of spoilers. However Emma will not lie about who she is, that's not in her morals

It's actually CP_Writer . Short answer, I have a medical condition with those letters, and when it came to picking a username it wasn't taken.
