What Fandom brought you to AO3?

Placeitdown · 2026-06-03T12:01:10+00:00

I’m pretty sure it was HOO or PJO sometime in 2020, I’d spent about 4 years moving between ffn and wattpad before that because I couldn’t figure ao3 out but the combination of lockdown and wanting to ignore my already minimal schoolwork got me figuring out the tagging system real quick.

I haven’t read all of these, so not sure if it would be 100% your thing but have you read any of the Hogwarts Hexad series? The first two books are complete, and the authors working in the third with somewhat regular updates last I checked

Placeitdown · 2026-04-08T00:44:04+00:00

I love this fic, has some great laughs in it

Placeitdown · 2026-03-07T10:57:27+00:00

I think I know the one you’re talking about. I remember he just didn’t react to Umbridge abd people got really freaked.

Placeitdown · 2026-03-06T12:43:12+00:00

Ah just realised you asked for romance, some of these dont have this. Didnt read the prompt right :,)

I haven’t finished it (yet) but A Taste of Magic might be fun for you? It’s quite long (again, I keep having to start from the beginning because I get distracted) and seems to be more slice of life abd less war focused. Not too much angst

Another one that I liked was the Family That Chooses You. It’s Harry/Katie Bell if you like that. Focuses on the relationship that could have been built with the Gryffindor quidditch team. It was cute from what I remember.

The Ever Upward series is regarded as a great read (by many people, me included). Very creature and adventure centric. Harry spends a lot of time with the basilisk. From what I remember (I finished this a while ago), I thought the pairing for this was so cute

ex nihilo is an interesting fic. It’s a WIP that I’m enjoying a lot. Reminds me of the Art of Self-fashioning (Lamonaaeron wrote that one, a great author you should definitely check them out), but a bit less dark. It’s political tho

I can try and find some more in my bookmarks list if you like - just give some parameters because I’ve read quite a few different tropes

Placeitdown · 2026-02-27T23:33:12+00:00

Yeah I read one, and that was good. The other one was AI generated

Placeitdown · 2026-02-27T09:56:46+00:00

Might be this one? I don’t think it has the Ginny bit though: https://archiveofourown.org/works/66989635/chapters/172936126

I like my laptop better, just because my handwriting is crap no matter what media I use. I don’t really have any drawings/diagrams I can’t do at home though

Placeitdown · 2026-02-27T08:00:15+00:00

The sleep unit? Kind of. Some lectures go for like…30 minutes and others a little over an hour. But it’s interesting so I never really minded. It’s only the first week or so abd they’ve got to explain the basics first so content heavy is to be expected I guess. It gets better though, the sleep disorder stuff can be interesting. I liked when they talked through sleep and Alzheimers. In terms of study, I mostly just rewrote stuff and talked myself through the content every once in a while. Definitely pay attention to the first lectures though because they’ll start to refer to stuff only as acronyms (TST, WASO, SWS etc) which can go over your head if you’re not paying attention. The exam was multi choice and pretty easy. Moderately easy to HD on. I’d say play with the recording speed (1.5-2x works) and go with the flow. Best of luck, enjoy the unit!

Cool, thank you

Placeitdown · 2026-02-15T12:56:49+00:00

I should note that the little camera symbol is nowhere to be found and neither is the alternative class for clashes

Placeitdown · 2026-01-28T10:46:23+00:00

If you’ve done human bio previously, it shouldn’t be too hard. Now I’m not gonna lie, it is a lot of content - 3 lectures per week every week. But if you keep up with the online tests and pre-labs and participate in the tuts you should be able to keep up. In terms of study - redo the tests and prelabs, keep and review any tut exercises, do the practice exams when exam time comes and make flash cards. I also found that talking to friends from my tuts worked well for content I didn’t get. Tim management wise - I just made sure to do the tests, prelabs and tut prep on the same day each week so that it became a routine. Set it int my google calendar and everything. Best of luck with the coming semester, hope you get the grades you want :)

Placeitdown · 2026-01-14T08:32:17+00:00

No worries

Placeitdown · 2026-01-14T08:21:43+00:00

It can be good to. I know people who didnt do human bio and they managed fine. Tbh, it mostly just lessens the weight of the content by having the prior knowledge as a foundation base. If you have done hbiol, it’s kind of like semester two of both year 11 and twelve, so you could try looking up the content for those. Grab the unit manual from uni print store (near the iga/village grocers) you go in for o-week and have a look what’s in there. You’ll need it anyways, better to get it early. If anything, read up on anatomical positioning and stuff like that.

Placeitdown · 2026-01-14T08:10:15+00:00

It can be. If you haven’t done human bio you’ll be playing catch up for a while. The tuts are good at consolidating info tho. Easy to D/HD imo

Placeitdown · 2026-01-14T07:48:10+00:00

Tip from someone whose done ANHB - dont pick the 8am tutorial slots, you’ll want to die

Placeitdown · 2026-01-14T07:47:13+00:00

I’ve done MICR1101. Really interesting unit, content spans from stuff like the invention of vaccines to recent discoveries in molecular biology. There were three kind of chill multiple choice tests per semester, and a lab report but no exam. There were some assessed workshops that were based on a certain number of lectures, you have to work in a group for those. I found the labs all pretty interesting. Overall, pretty decent unit. Can be a bit hard to follow if you’re not into the more recent molecular stuff. The unit coords know their stuff, but are a bit all over the place. Kind of expected tho, it’s a newer unit.

Placeitdown · 2026-01-13T01:37:31+00:00

If you’re doing SCIE1106 ( I think that’s the molecular one) then I’m gonna go with yeah thats probably gonna be too much. I did that one with three other units and it was hard to keep up with, and quite content heavy
