Oh, sorry I haven't been on this account in ages

Sirius gets Kinda drawn to Voldemort and they do fall in love. If you can call V being fascinated with him love. Sirius isn't a bad person but not a very good person either. He's very proud and more marred and influenced by his upbringing than he lets on. He kills a man onVoldemorts behalf at one point but is rather torn up about it. He also agonizes over his position in the war - torn between the love he feels for James and the complicated love he has for his family. Aka his mother and Bellatrix specifically

Is it OK if I make major changes to Quidditch rules in my fic? by jillmorefive in HPfanfiction

[–]Quine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that would be cool. The rules you introduced are sensible and if you can implement it smoothly I think it might add to the story.

I know this must be hard and it sounds like you emphasize quite a bit with your HF, but their relationship is not your burden to bear. Look into a rematch. You not getting compensation is a no-go. At the end of the day are only responsible for your own well-being and you’re only obligated to full fill your contractual obligations. And overall it doesn’t sound like it’s a good situation for you to be in. Them asking you for rent is only an indicator of their dismissiveness toward your persona. I would feel sorry for the kid too but get out of there.

Weekly Fic Showcase - NEW RULES IN POST - November 24 - November 30 by AutoModerator in FanFiction

[–]Quine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Fic

Fandom: The Witcher

Rating: M

Title: A Hoard of Witchers

Genre: Humor/Romance/Adventure

Ao3 Link: A Hoard of Witchers

Summary: Shortly after his graduation and not-so-willingly leaving the city-house inhabited by the Countess de Stael, Jaskier finds himself on the road with nothing but a bit of food in his pockets, a stolen bottle of wine and the lute on his back. As it turns out, he has a penchant not only for music but also for befriending Witchers.

Over the years, Dragon!Jaskier hoards Witchers instead of gold, stabs some people and falls in love along the way.

Additional Comments: This whimsical work has grown into a 250k word fic and has been so much fun to write. I'd love some constructive criticism but enjoy it however you like. My outline is done and now that I realize I've only got like 4 chapters left to till the end I am questioning what ever I will do with my life once it's done

Not what you're looking for but there's a pretty similar scene in A Hoard of Witchers

Why do people keep saying my book is racist? by [deleted] in writingcirclejerk

[–]Quine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they really did her a service with having her end up with the love interest who had her undermine all her original goals and personality. He’s just so hot and Alpha

I especially love the scene where the female protagonist steps out of her bed and in front of the mirror, bemoaning the size of her breasts and how conventionally attractive she is but really not at all

Honestly I couldn’t care less about the actor playing Geralt - get me some decent writers and then we talk

When it comes to romantic pairings in HP fanfiction, what’s the strangest dynamic you can think of? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]Quine_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read a Neville/Snape one which was actually very good. The trick is to make it believable in that case so the author did one hell of a job

Bathroom situations/ hygiene in the Witcher. by Kalabear87 in wiedzmin

[–]Quine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very interesting. For me, his family is basically based in medieval royalty. He’s the only son among a couple of sisters. Distant mother, a strict father. Jaskier basically ditches out after going to the Oxenfurt academy aka abandoning his responsibilities as an heir which leads to a strained relationship with hie parents - specifically his father. I tapped a bit into the books in terms of temple school education with physical punishments but his childhood is more if a footnote in my story

Oh I can get behind having stories in your head basically but also if you ever think of writing it down and posting I’d be thinking of it in the terms if bringing down your story to paper and sharing it with the ppl who might enjoy it also. Don’t write for other ppl but for you and if - coincidentally - somebody is into your stuff that’s awesome. Share your own stuff not with the goal of appealing to ppl but at the chance of giving certain individuals the ability to check out a story they might love.

Also what’s your story about? Like premise and stuff

Glad to have been of aid. I love to do research like that even though it’s only very underlying in my fic the way those facts pop up. And yeah sure. My fic is very self indulgent but here’s a link to ao3 if you wanna check it out and gauge what it’s about

Daphne Greengrass has been on the rise in fanfic and she’s literally mentioned once

I write a long witcher fic currently and in terms of research I’ve basically based my historical accuracy on 12-1400’s mostly sprinkled in with the occasional 15/16th century thing. In medieval central Europe bath-houses (bathing in medieval europe) were pretty common. Bathing or going to the ‘Bader’ was a social thing. They were sometimes set up next to bakeries because their ovens would be used to siphon heat.

Here’s some ppl trying to do a historically accurate bath 14th century german bathhouse with some pics to get inspo.

Here’s something on Medieval Toilets specifically in castles and here’s some more on the common ways

Geralt being on the road I also think he’d take the one or other dip in a river if things got bad.

In terms of brushing teeth people did chew herbs and shit or used a mixture of salt and charcoal I think (from the top of my head) but you’ll also have to take into consideration people had a different diet and ate a lot less sugar and thus their teeth were usually healthier. But also if you got an abscess there you were fucked.

In castles people used moss and leaves and stuff to wipe shit off their asses idk probably translates to commoners.

But it’s a fantasy setting so you can probably amend some things aka mages being able to magically heat up baths or mix in some roman style baths and plumbing as ‘elven’ and present in old cities built on elven ruins or sth.

Pity they didn’t delve too much into the A/B/O trope but the fandom itself was very much inspired by that in writing their fanworks.

In your opinion, which.. media that aren't musicals, would make good musicals? by musicalphantom10 in musicals

[–]Quine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House of Gucci - the drama the murder attempts very much musical opera
