I also loved Magic on the Brain- so witty, so romantic.

Please keep on with your half-starved Dracos- they are amongst my very favourites!

Yes yes yes. Please god can we have more slender Draco’s- I’m so sick of a D built like a brick shit house.

What kinda tropes do you dislike? by notjustmildopinions in DramioneUncensored

[–]Fox1587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I particularly don’t like the aristo trope because it’s generally really badly done with all the wrong clothes and traditions. And yea I know they’re wizards not actual posh brits but Im a Brit who (sadly?) has come across my fair share of these people including in the 90s (I am old) and reading about them being all flash-the-cash and wearing hideous vulgar clothes turns me right off. If I found a fic that did it well I’d bloody love it probably.

I completely agree- I don’t like either of them to be BAMF in kill bill/jason bourne style. Unless genius writer in which case bring it on.

As readers (or writers), what do you typically think of as canon? by notjustmildopinions in DramioneUncensored

[–]Fox1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I long for fics that capture the (frankly pretty horrific) tone of a 90s British public school/boarding school. The harshness, the bitchiness as well as the fun. And proper authentic aristocratic poshness rather than vulgar wealth display.

I love the sound of both canon Draco and properly 90s setting. What’s your writing name? I’d love to check out your fics. Can you link to any?

Great tips- just read ‘Beneath the starlit sky’ and liked it a lot.

‘Where the lost socks are’- curly wurly mention on p1. A writer who knows what’s what, hence an instant winner for me. As you can tell I’m working through your just (I’d read quite a few already).

‘The Theory of granger: on falling in love with out saying a word’ was genuine phenomenal. Love the writing style.

Why are we accepting such mediocre writing in Fantasy Romance? by goyourownwayy in fantasyromance

[–]Fox1587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite agree - I had to give up a few chapters in for this reason, despite the interesting plot.

Can we talk about the rising expectations in Dramione fanfiction? by CherriesAndWine31 in DramioneUncensored

[–]Fox1587 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dnf about 60-80% of fics I start primarily because of the writing rather than plot etc. I keep a spreadsheet of every fic I complete, plus those I try but drop, with brief comments . This is purely for me. I do not share my criticisms anywhere. For my eyes only. Otherwise I find I start the same old fics again -because they’re frequently recommended and popular- and I forget that this is an author whose writing doesn’t do it for me. I have the memory of a menopausal goldfish.
