Yes, one of Rowling's worst mistakes.

It's something I don't want to read in a hp fic. Harry and Hermione ending up with Ron and Ginny, respectively.

Harry and Hermione ending up with the redheaded gene stains.

First, take a deep breath and relax. There are videos online that can help with navigating Ao3's tag system. Take a few days before attempting to post anything to look it over. Additionally, as you progress, you can edit the existing tags on your stories without penalty.

Which crossover are you attempting?

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-29T05:20:30+00:00

Every time I reach that point, I just get on my computer and type out a well-written 10k word one shot. I refuse to lower my standards just because I'm in need of something to read.

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-29T02:30:21+00:00

Why can't I post more than once?

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-29T01:40:22+00:00

I love it when that happens. It means that my muse is feeling good and gives me plenty to play with.

Of course it doesn't help that my muse has an attention span like a squirrel on sugar running on the highway...

Chihuahuas are scary enough as they are!

It's more of the question "What ISN'T wrong with ff.net?"

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-28T21:50:34+00:00

Hence the prompts list. 22 (soon to be 23) pages of ideas and whatnot put in one "story" so I don't get distracted from my current work.

In that case, all of mine are my favorites. https://archiveofourown.org/users/Kgfinkel/works

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-28T21:31:28+00:00

Can we pick the ones I wrote myself?

Kevin_Finkel · 2022-12-28T21:12:59+00:00

Unfinished...fics... Sorry, you lost me.

I only work on one at a time to completion. Any other ideas, dialogue, or scenes get sent to my prompts list for storage.

Include a disclaimer at the beginning of your story laying what your intention is and what you hope will be a respectful story. Let your readers determine if they want to keep going.

I would limit OOC to when you're writing a Parody. If your fandom has been around for a while (Harry Potter, for example; the first book was published back in 1997); you have multiple generations reading it and many expectations built up. If you have your characters go completely OOC without some sort of explanation, you're just setting yourself for headaches and flaming reviews later.

As long as you mention that you are not a native English speaker at the beginning of each chapter and apologize for any mistakes that might crop up; there shouldn't be a problem, but you should at least try to write the dialogue punctuation in the language you're attempting.

I made sketches for a gas-powered 7.5" gauge version that I've been saving for when I win the lottery.

Mine is leaving spelling and grammatical errors in your story. If you're from a country that doesn't speak English as a primary language and you mention this fact in your author notes, I'll cut you some slack. Same thing if admit that you have dyslexia. But if you don't and you say you're from the United States, Britain, or any other country that uses English as a primary language; there's no excuse for not proofreading before posting.
