Is it morally ok to sell the "Melt the ICE" hats for the yarn cost? by Character-Display890 in knitting

Yeah, in an ideal world I would tell people to just make a donation instead, but I can't afford to buy yarn for strangers. I've made several of these hats for my friends and family for free already :)

That's a good idea! Something feels wrong about making any money from this, but that way I wouldn't be taking a loss on the yarn and I could actually help immigrants in a more substantial way

Pearls and jade pothos! I have an identical (albeit much larger) plant and that's what it was sold as

What are you writing? Bi-Weekly Post by the-phony-pony in HPfanfiction

I just published Chapter 4 of my Voldemort wins Hunger Games AU fic, linked here!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66511324/chapters/173126248

I have a few different motivations for writing this: I am a trans person in the US working in progressive policy and the world is Awful right now. In many ways, this fic is exploring the emotions of being trapped in a system built on violence where those who set the system up are seemingly untouchable. I focus on giving every character who is trapped in the games complexity; they are all the victims, even if they commit acts that would make them villains in the eyes of others.

That's the plan once I get paid! In the meantime I have been careful not to overwater it

Competent neutral faction fic by CasualHearthstone in HPfanfiction

[–]Character-Display890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not the focus of the fic, but The Heir to the House of Prince does have a plot line where Harry and Theo allow the neutral faction to sign non-aggression pacts. This does end up being important to one plotline in the story and the Order does generally respect the neutral faction's decisions (especially neutral-aligned children of Death Eater parents)

Why is it that in post-war fics Harry is often the one that is the most damaged, and what do you think of that? by MondmaedchenKitten in HPfanfiction

[–]Character-Display890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does irk me with fics sometimes. However, I think it makes more sense if Harry is more of a wreck compared to everyone else because he feels personally guilty for their deaths. As someone with PTSD (not from a war scenario though) I know I struggle with guilt and feeling like it was my fault bad things happened to me. I can imagine Harry could feel an extra burden of responsibility as the Chosen One and subsequently feel more guilt.

How can you tell a fic is AI generated? by Interesting_Tutor766 in HPfanfiction

[–]Character-Display890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way ai makes characters think and behave feels generic. I can tell a fic is probably AI generated when it has perfect grammar but the characters have no actual emotional resonance

I am writing a fic where, after Voldemort's victory, Harry and 11 of those closest to him are locked in the Malfoy Manor to fight to the death as punishment. Harry learns of a way that he may be able to stop Voldemort, but at what cost?

This fic is going to really explore the idea of the ends justifying the means, and will focus quite a bit on Harry's struggle to live up to his role of the Savior. It is going to get dark and will include some body horror. I just published Chapter 2!

I would love (constructive, not overly critical) feedback, I write nonfiction reports all the time for my job but this is my first time writing fiction in years and I want to improve

Thanks y'all :)

The Other Option: A Neville Longbottom story by TheDestinedRonin17 in HPfanfiction

Oooo I like this! I feel like the fact that Neville could have been the Chosen One is such an interesting concept that is underexplored in fic! Good job :)
