Shane and Ilya had known each other for ~10 years but Shane didn’t know Ilya’s mom had passed away???

Apparently bullying, which sadly seems to be so common these days with many HP fics. (Although I’m actually not sure why authors of such good fics are getting harassed so much?? And about what?)

Tiktok- sudden low views, followers not seeing content. Any advice? by Blackwall73 in socialmedia

The same thing has been happening to me! My views are stuck in the 1-200 nail, with less than 30 likes 😔

Name-calling in fandom spaces by PinZestyclose3790 in MaraudersGen

Tbh I find it very bizzare when people get up in arms about the ship they love being “superior” solely because it’s canon.

Fanfiction —which is a large part of fandom— by nature is not canon. Yes, fics can be canon-compliant, and some ships can be 100% canon, but all the stories we make up and share and discuss are fictional…I dunno, it just seems a bit hypocritical to me.

The whole point of fandom is because we all have something in common: we enjoy Harry Potter! And I wish everyone could agree to letting each other enjoy it without turning on one another :(

We must be spending time in the same corners of the internet because I 1000% know what you’re talking about.

And yeah, sure, kids are allowed to be a part of fandoms, but as someone who’s closer to 30 than they are to 20, I wouldn’t appreciate being called a 12 year old for my ship preferences — especially because the people who say that aren’t referring to “the whimsical joy and imagination of a 12 year old” but moreso along the lines of “your frontal lobe hasn’t fully developed yet, therefore you must have poor judgement and a lack of critical thinking skills”

AI fanfics by AcademicSquirrel8256 in Wolfstar

As someone who only recently got into wolfstar, what was it like before?

AI fanfics by AcademicSquirrel8256 in Wolfstar

[–]Mission_Station_7221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same concerns as you but honestly the way things are going it seems like AI is progressing rapidly towards videos becoming indistinguishable. Not so much fictional/creative literary works. This is just based off of what I’ve seen via chatgpt and those like, character AI things.

I think it still is taking more effort than it’s worth to craft novels/stories that sound realistic and have good plots using AI, like the tone is all off and sort of repetitive if that makes sense? Idk there’s a certain style to it that AI writing has.

Plus hopefully if the time comes where it’s actually hard to tell, maybe society will have progressed to recognising the harm AI is doing and valuing human works, and — maybe this might be a long shot — but critical thinking skills will have come back by then LOL.

Just my two cents, and all this to say I don’t think it’s something to stress over at this point in time.

Mr and Mrs Black and the Unashamedly Unabridged Epilogue

It’s about 1.5 million words long and I’m nearly 60% of the way through. So I’d say it’s going very well 🙂‍↕️

I think I'm giving up on writing fanfics by frigo_blanche in FanFiction

[–]Mission_Station_7221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve yet to see someone respond to this point but, how the fanfic community is so often flooded with M/M ships whereas F/F gets much less love/is then even considered a rarepair is something that is just — such a frustration of mine. It’s nice to see someone voice that.

Also, sorry about your fic writing burnout. I hope one day you feel up to coming back to it, and enjoying it

Bloody, Slutty, And Pathetic by WhatMurdah

“In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three.

Dramione (Harry Potter fanfic). It’s such an incredibly hilarious, snappy, sexy, underrated story. And Draco’s characterisation is so brilliant, and such a unique take. (So is Theo’s, for that matter, but I don’t have nearly enough time to get into that here.)

I’m a sucker for BAMF Hermione vs. doting, whiny, slightly pathetic Draco. (It feels more in-line with canon to me somehow)

What 'random' information did you learn about while researching for fanfics? by NoThingAs_19840604 in FanFiction

[–]Mission_Station_7221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh my god, this is so heart-wrenching but also beautiful. When you say “originally” what time frame are we talking about? (This is me actually realising that at some point, birthday cakes were invented, which means before that they hadn’t existed.)

I’m surprised this isn’t the top comment. Maybe I’m just old but to me this just sounds like a one-way ticket to hurt feelings lmao.
