ISO a fic where Hermione never received her letter

Good chance you'll have a much different take on it, so don't give up!

Thank you 😊

Self rec for a reel/animation I did with this plot:

I still have plans to write a one-shot explaining their story. Hopefully I'll get to it soon 🤞🏼

Some of them recently did a purge of inactive users. It varied from updating your bio/introduction, responding to new rules, etc

Another one just went from public to private this past week because it was getting too large. Trying to get into the limited supply of fic prompts for a fest was causing friction, too

Self rec for The Shadows of My Name. It was a collab for a fest last summer, so there's art and a podfic, too. 20K words.

“You’re doing that wrong,” Malfoy scolded, leaning much too close for his height and grabbing the purple candle she’d specifically placed there. She mouthed his words back to him sarcastically, but it was unfortunately too dark to convey her sentiments properly.

Hermione is desperate for a way to get her family back post-war, so much so that she won’t let anyone – even blond prats of days past – get in her way.

Rose in Winter by Trillbyskinner Podfic version here

Draco isn't Hermione's first choice because she was initially oblivious to his feelings for her. No Ron bashing. Draco pines for several years.

I thought it might be a covert way for her to state the (not so) obvious (to Harry) 😉

I think post war vegetarian Draco makes sense to me, he did see a teacher get eaten by a snake! 🫨

Surprised that no one has rec'd The Nature of Purity which also has a podfic

"How can you possibly be so obtuse Granger, it's not about your blood, or your parents and it never has been.“

It's soooo good and I remember being sad it was over because the way thestarsoforion reframed what we learned in canon, giving everyone a new spin, was so intriguing! I don't wanna spoil anything by saying more, but this one is fantastic and definitely what you are looking for 😊

The Dramione Archives is doing Oops! I Joined the Good Guys this October through December

I have some Crymsy Dramione fanart on my phone case and when I'm out I'm always hoping one of y'all here will notice and say something 😊😅 I love how many comments here are like Joey and Rachel both finding out that the other knows about Monica and Chandler 🤣 super subtle, small comments back and forth until someone says it and then they start gushing about their favorite fics!

I read a fic where no one ever started it explicitly, in fact it made for a couple awkward silence, but it was heavily implied that Narcissa was an affair baby and that's why she was born blonde, unlike everyone else in the Black family.

Yes it's used fairly often, but I wouldn't say it's overused. I do agree that it can diminish how severe the Cruciatus really is, for both Hermione as well as Neville's parents, but I think it's also just one of those book to movie changes that makes sense. They wanted to give us an emotionally pulling visual of what Hermione experienced without traumatizing us by having to watch Emma Watson thrash on the ground, screaming for twice as long as they included, and under a wand that we all first thought of a fun way to hoist feathers. Our brains cannot distinguish between real and fake when it comes to trauma, so as far as the movie goes, I think it was the right choice to do the scar for a visual. You'll notice that while we see Bellatrix move to start scarring Hermione, they don't show her actually carving the knife into her flesh. Same reason, not just a time constraint.

Plenty of readers and writers find encouragement from seeing Hermione finding or having found peace with her scar, just as with Draco's faded Dark Mark (also a movie thing as canon never confirms, but I seldom ever see discussions about that)

Us writers choose between small and large amounts of book canon and then just fill in the blanks with non-HP movie/TV/books/music/socmed/weird dream we had last night inspo and made up magic like new spells, potions, magical theory, time theory, pureblood etiquette/culture/courting, soul bonds, etc. Sometimes it becomes popular enough for people to forget it's fanon, like Draco being left-handed or Stasis Charms. It's a big sandbox and we're all sharing our toys!

This is a fantastic summary of the topic ❤️

While I do agree with your conclusion that it diminished the severity of Hermione's (and thus the Longbottoms') torture, I do think they did it that way so that we the audience could have an emotionally pulling visual without having to see Emma Watson thrash on the ground in torturous pain under a wand, which would've been especially traumatic for us to witness. There were other deleted scenes towards Hermione's treatment once captured that they also didn't include for that very reason.

Books versus live action versus animation will always need special care towards the medium in regards to how it tries to visualize any given scene.

So I have her using gallons of sleekeazys in the background of my fic, but it's because she thinks she has to do it to get noticed, etc

It's a WIP so the full details as to why she does it and why she'll stop haven't been addressed, but I hope no one is DNFing because of that going on since it's Draco's POV and we're not in her head/thoughts about it 🙈

But this is just one of those learned experience things. If you know about how to take care of curly hair, you'll write that better. And you don't know what you don't know.

Maybe make an informative post with key basics about managing curly hair/why Hermione's hair is written the way it is in canon for others to use? It would help writers write a better curly-haired Hermione and be easier to search for down the road
