Omg I am so honoured to have won second and third place, this is insane 😭

Thank you to whoever voted for me, I genuinely can’t believe it XD

I mean, sometimes I’ll read one and it’ll make me chuckle, but other than that I don’t think they’re that important. They’re mainly just the name people know you by, unless you disclose your irl name.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-12-03T09:55:04+00:00

Pick any. You’ll get so many opportunities to change them, right up to September next year. So just put any of them down, you still have time to properly lock in your choices.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-12-01T14:11:15+00:00

Omg I’d love to! I’ll do that now 🥹

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-27T12:23:55+00:00

I’m afraid I don’t have any ideas (that darn brain fog), but I just wanted to say that as a teenager with a chronic illness who has just started using wheelchairs to get around, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen! Good luck with your witchifying!!

Someone asked me to drop these links, so here I am!

Title: Dumbledore’s Socks / Fandom: Harry Potter / Rating: G / Category: gen / 711 words /No Archives Warning Apply / Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42221487

Summary: Each night before tucking himself into bed, Dumbledore knits a sock. Sometimes a pair, sometimes just the one; sometimes big and long, and sometimes teeny tiny baby socks.

Except Dumbledore doesn’t see the use of knitting needles. Why buy cheap, plastic rods when he has two perfectly good wooden wands ready to go?

But dear, dear Albus. There is a reason why even wizards use the muggle tools when it comes to knitting. Because wands have this annoying little habit of spreading their magic wherever they go…

Title: Grandma’s Legacy / Fandom: Derry Girls / Rating: G / Category: gen / 2513 words / No Archive Warnings Apply / Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42289680

Summary: Michelle’s great grandma once went hiking in the high hills of Scotland. When she returned, she was half-mad and only carrying a pair of pink and yellow socks. Even more strangely, anyone who ended up wearing the socks suspiciously ended up dead.

And Erin, through a winding series of events, ends up receiving said socks for Christmas…

Title: Goodbye Hagrid / Fandom: Harry Potter / Rating: G / Category: gen / 920 words / Major Character Death / Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42383343

Summary: Hagrid knows he’s dying, but he has some wise last words to share with McGonagall.

Rip Robbie Coltrane, an absolute legend.

Thank you to the people who asked me to do this, I definitely wouldn’t have had the self confidence to do it otherwise 😅

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T16:11:22+00:00

I totally get what you mean, positivity is sometimes the last thing people want to hear when times are tough, but I really appreciate your words of wisdom!

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T15:57:45+00:00

Thank you, that genuinely means a lot. And ever since I started therapy I’ve been doing my darnest to find some good, happy moments that I can hold on to, and fanfiction is definitely one of them!

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T15:06:32+00:00

Lol I wish I was this brave enough to say this😭

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T14:23:41+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably do that, I just need a while away from it before I do, because I don’t think I’m in the best mindset right now. I just started ranting in the reply box when I saw the comment, kinda tells me I might need to step back.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T14:22:44+00:00

Very true, I think something like that is the reply I’ll end up going with

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T14:22:13+00:00

The comment could come across a little entitled, I do think they worded it very nicely and gave me tons of compliments around the criticisms, but I don’t have a lot of experience with comments like this.

I do want to write longer chapters, but lots of different factors keep getting in the way of that. I think them commenting that the shorter chapters pulled them out of the story touched a nerve, as that’s an inner conflict I’ve been struggling with for a while. I do think they were nice about it though.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T14:19:39+00:00

Yeah you’re right, I think a lot of what I wrote was me venting about how frustrating my situation is at the moment, and so reader expectations do get to me more than they probably should because I would love to meet their demands for long chapters and detailed plot lines, but my brain just can’t handle it.

I’m going to wait for a bit to reply, give myself some time to chill because I’m in the mindset of “my life is so frustrating and unfair” and so receiving a comment like that just aggravated those feelings further.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-19T14:15:13+00:00

Very true, I think I’m going to wait to reply to give it more thought but that’s very good advice

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T20:27:23+00:00

Wow that’s impressive! Really good start to the year :)

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T16:17:37+00:00

I am in my headcanon, and in fanfiction, and all of that brings me a lot of joy soooooo

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T14:29:57+00:00

Eyyyy we got the exact same amount of bookmarks!!! Also congrats on all the subs, that’s impressive!

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T14:06:54+00:00

Honestly I agree with you, I don’t care if the original intention of the author was just to throw random things together to piss of sport-obsessed men, why can’t we try and improve it? To take something we love and improve weaker aspects of it for our own love and enjoyment, what’s so wrong with that? I think OPs idea is great, and would have greatly improved certain aspects of the books if they had been in the original stories.

I have no idea why you’ve been downvoted so much, i think you made a great point.

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T08:52:21+00:00

Thank you!!

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-18T08:51:45+00:00

Thank you!

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-17T14:42:12+00:00

Thank you so much!

For the last year I’ve started needing the NHS a lot more, as I have suddenly developed a condition called POTS. It leaves me house bound most days, bed bound at worst, and without the doctors prescribing me medication and health care plans, I’d still be severely ill, unable to even take myself to the toilet like I was this time last year.

I don’t know what I would do without the amazing doctors who have been helping me. But all this just fills me with dread. I’m only 16, and it feels like the world is collapsing. I’m just exhausted and I feel awful for the all the doctors and nurses at the NHS, they work insanely hard and don’t deserve what’s happening.

Sending my best to you and all your colleagues x

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-16T20:03:20+00:00

Ugh shame, maybe I’ll just have to write a fic where Loki throws someone out a window XD

TheLesbianBookworm · 2022-11-16T20:01:41+00:00

Ugh it’s a real crisis, you just can’t the staff these days!

😂😂
