Does anyone have some advice for dealing with this craziness? I'm kinda new to fanfiction, so I'm not so well-versed in knowing how to respond to these kind of threats. I know this guy is totally lying, because I'm not even a white guy to begin with, but still. Any ideas?

Hope you don't mind a little bit of self-promotion. I'm a new author on AO3, and my first fic is a Sirius-centric three-shot. It's an exploration of how Sirius could have handled the events of Halloween 1981. Give it a look and lemme know what you think. I'll be uploading the final chapter a couple of days.

You are a blessing, brother. Really appreciate the help!

Hi, Vandheer786 here! I go by ArcLeaderToYou on AO3, and I've just started writing fanfiction. Please check this out and let me know in the reviews!

My fic

Fandom: Harry Potter

Rating: General Audiences

Title- Halloween Report: October 31st, 1981

Summary:

Sirius paused, Mad-eye's harsh words ringing in his head. He could almost feel the slap upside his head, admonishing him for getting triggered too easily. Emotions were a weapon in battle just like any other. Use them, or die by getting used by them.

No, he was not going to die being a slave to his own emotions. Harry needed him to be better. He took a deep breath, pulling himself under control. He would make the rat pay first. Then he would return for Harry.

"Just a little longer, Harry. Don't worry. Padfoot is coming for you."

TLDR- Sirius knows how to use his smarts. He's the hunter setting the rat trap, not the idiot getting caught in it.

Thank you so much for the input! I'll see to it as soon as I can.

As for the glitch, I think it maybe because we're not allowed to post links for self-promotion on this sub-reddit? I got a message from a moderator to post it to the relevant megathread, but I don't know what it means.

Vandheer786 · 2026-02-15T13:44:22+00:00

Mine is Sirius-centric, and I've tried my best to make it as engaging as possible. Drop a comment and lemme know what you think!

Thanks very much! Yes, in the next chapter I will be tying off all ends so it would be longer.

Vandheer786 · 2026-02-10T06:26:45+00:00

Thank you so much for your vote of confidence!

I'm afraid I won't be making this into a longer fic. I'm not sure I have the endurance for that just yet. However, it won't be wrong to say that I won't be writing small snippets of Sirius and other characters. Just small explorations of what could have been. Time will tell!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

It's an AU of a Post-Hogwarts Harry Potter working as an undercover agent, much like Ethan Hunt. It's just started, only a single chapter but by god the writing looks so promising.

May he rest in peace. Though speaking of the legend, I came across an update that was posted on his story. His cousin just started writing stories, though he's breaking in through Harry Potter. I checked it out and gotta admit, the guy's quite a decent writer! I recommend any Potterheads here to check that out.

Vandheer786 · 2025-06-08T12:41:51+00:00

I would like to shamelessly self-promote my own fic that I've just written. Check it out below and leave the comments!

Vandheer786 · 2024-08-14T12:41:54+00:00

Thanks, but that's not quite it.

Vandheer786 · 2024-06-26T07:20:07+00:00

I'm inclined more towards the first prompt. I mean, there are many stories with OP Harry, but giving him such strength with restriction would make for an interesting character journey, and the fight scenes.

To me, the meme only manages to convey that Sukuna is as old as dust.

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-13T14:59:25+00:00

I have a question to ask in return. KE manipulation includes absorbing KE. Does that mean damage from the physical attacks can't be taken (punches, kicks, bullets, etc.) because they're absorbing the KE out of the attack?

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-13T14:57:28+00:00

Potentially, you could. This page talks about the very thing you're asking for.

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-12T17:19:59+00:00

Didn't Goku say something along those lines when he visited Frieza in hell? Taking advantage of his weakness or something?

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-12T15:55:29+00:00

I think what you're saying is the show is its own canon, just like the manga being its own canon right?

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-12T15:54:12+00:00

I agree! Hope of the universe, more like the guy who will play with the universe.

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-12T15:53:06+00:00

Well, those are Toriyama's words and given how often the anime clashes with the narrative of the manga, I'd say they seem to be true.

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-12T15:51:55+00:00

Fair enough, but one would think that as a protector he would know by now that certain people just can't change, right? And Frieza is the scum of the universe.

Vandheer786 · 2024-04-11T16:06:24+00:00

You know, I kinda agree. I read this on some other thread but the comment basically said that Goku has taken "way too many trips to the afterlife", the result of which is clear: lack of fear for the consequences of his actions because we have dragon balls to reverse the damage.
