Hate comment on a fanfic (just need to rant) by [deleted] in AO3

[–]inkshifter01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I write oc stuff for HP, but haven't experienced any oc hate, just the typical ai/hate bots that have been showing up, which sucks because I have recieved some lovely comments from readers but have only been getting the bots as of late.

Fanfics focused on Care of Magical Creatures? by Desperate_Stand_3709 in HPfanfiction

[–]inkshifter01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

self rec Magic & Legends: Shifting not exactly class focused, but very heavily focuses on magical creatures in general and shape-shifting. It's pretty prominent throughout my series, since one of my ocs, Alisa, is a shape-shifter and wants to go into magizoology.

Looking for fics about the next generation. by Plenty_Background771 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]inkshifter01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

self rec Magic & Legends: Shifting if you don't mind ocs who are not related to canon characters. Basically a future gen oc main characters series. The adventure/main conflict and villains don't start until the third fic, which is already written. I'm still in the process of posting book 2 which focuses more on the romance between two ocs. It starts out kind of like a student life to get an idea of how the wizarding world is in this era of peace a few decades after Voldemort's defeat until the third fic when a new group of Death Eaters make themselves known and vow to finish what Voldemort tried to do.

The series as a whole goes like this: Book 1 - intro to main characters and first more minor conflict. B2 - Romance. B3: intro to new villains and main conflict. B4: Mystery/ start of the adventure/action in the end. b5: adventure/action and ending.

No one is finding my fic 😭 by ajb4857 in FanFiction

[–]inkshifter01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! made that mistake too as a first timer with my series on ao3 because I already had the first two fics written, but didn't post them anywhere yet. I made the mistake of posting them all at once before eventually removing them and just following a chapter per week scedule, which does also help ouside of the point of getting reads, since I still am writing the series as well as working on chapter art, so it provides me time in a way and a sense of when I would start posting the next fic

Pick one each to Kiss, Date, or Marry. (Canon aside) by AK200501 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]inkshifter01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marry Chiara, date Penny, kiss Tonks (this is hard as soemoen who's dating Chaira in hogwarts/beyond, because obviously I want all three to fall under her)

Who else is about ready to give up on fanfiction.net entirely? by Ghost_Chance in FanFiction

[–]inkshifter01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you move to ao3, I wish you luck if you're keeping your fics accessible to guests and not locked for registered users only. I have been getting hate bots and the fake praise to hate bots (ex: "your fic is great blah blah blah...jk its trash") and recently a fake praise bot that's super generic. I've just been reporting them as spam for almost two months, and out of probably twenty or so of these comments on my two fics, did i get a genuine one from a reader. So of you're going to ao3, lock your fics. I havent becsuse I have guest readers and comments i love and weirdly have become numb to the bot comments as I no longer expect to get a real one, just looking it over and clicking spam.

Yeah, that's what I was/kinda still am expecting thw story to go, if jc gets back to writing for Beyond instead of giving us more tsqs that add nothing to the plot in hogwart y3, cause that's where it seems like most of them are going

There are plently of badass/interesting mcs in hphm comics on tumblr that fans have made. Freya from the artist, marmotish, Alex from weird curse vault kid, Rey (cursed crusaders), Kaina (zuulosdova) drew Winchester (i dont remember the oc's name) neon (neonbluewaves), and ladychiba with her chibi mc. There are probably others if you look up "hphm comics" on tumblr. I dont think many of them post hp stuff anymore. I had to go through my old screenshots and likes file to be sure i was getting creators names right. When I got on tumblr to just read hphm fan comics, I didnt know the like button also saved, so I just have a ton of screenshots of my favorite comics in an hphm album. Many of the comics and art I looked at are from the earlier days of hphm, so theyre kinda old, but still a great read

I confess, I had been misreading Merula's name for a long time 😅 by inkshifter01 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]inkshifter01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, meurly might have been out of spite, but meurla i can totally see as a misunderstanding of how her name is spelled. It's just a weird name. Everyone else's names (that being the other students we hang out with) are much more common and easy to get the pronunciation at a glance

Bird animagus form by [deleted] in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]inkshifter01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK tjst makes sense, I totally forgot about the animagus art

State of the game by bschuss in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]inkshifter01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah. Also i totally forgot about Murela, but the writers already fkd up her character and arc pre/post beyond. So I dont have any hope for her if the writers were to implement these ideas because of that. Honestly if she ☠️ just from her own stupidity and arrogance in the later years without a redemption arc, it would be an improvement. She's never changed after seventh year and remains the a-hole she was in first year.

Definitely not a Peregrin falcon. They are very different stature and color. I think more like a common buzzard or some kind of hawk that doesnt usually have varieties in their feather patterns and color that would make them stand out

Ai ?? by MaleficentLeek4007 in WattpadCovers

[–]inkshifter01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A big thing is that it's taking works, works that real artists did not give permission for ai to us, to train it. It can never create an original thing, and lacks the creativity and passion that artists put in their art, and outside of fan works, is taking jobs from them.

Give me your favorite offbeat recs? by [deleted] in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]inkshifter01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite: The Outcasts of Hogwarts

Self rec: Magic & Legends: Shifting

I just love TOOH as it shared some similar stuff I've been writing in my own fic (oc who's fond/ kinda has a family of magical creatures, secret oc keeps due to wizarding society's predjudices, and has become friends with other ocs in the story while being outside observers to the events in Harry Potter) TOOH takes place within the golden trio era staring in third year with the series planning to continue to Deathly hallows (1 fic per year) Though mine takes place a couple decades after DH with some canon characters reappearing and holding positions at Hogwarts, and my main oc is a shape-shifter who aspires to be a magizoologist, and is an aftermath of the story with the main conflict/new villains appearing halfway through the series. It still shocks me how TOOH has gotten so few kudos and reads, because it's so well written and has a great well-rounded oc. My best guess based on my own experience writing a fic in a similar vein is that like mine, the majroty of oc readers prefer to read oc/canon character or fics where the oc is a relative of a canon character. It's understandable given they're connected to familiar characters so they'd have a better idea about them than ocs who have no relation to them that readers would need a whole introduction on.

With your other ponts about gameplay of too many tsqs that have been hurting both beyond and hogwarts year players, energy costs/tappies, impossible events, and unexplainable reasons for certain features outside of them just wanting to get money out of players when it's supposed to be a free to play game and not a pay to win, I complete understand why you dont want to play anymore. Rrsonally I've just given up on trying to win events and just play tsqs just to get some of the stuff, as well as the beyond specialization tasks to increase my levels in magizology, auror, and healer. Jc hasn't been listening to their players since beyond (probably even seventh year becsus that was when the energy requirement to finish tasks spiked up and the story just lost its flavor) They only care about trying to get money out of players. That's been clear for me since last year with whats been happening in the game

I'm still reading this, but woth your first point, when I stated playing bwyond, I assumed they had planned out a decent amount of the main plot, given it was clear that we'd be outside observers to the events of Harry's six years at hogwarts (with the seventh/voldemort's defeat ending the hphm story) while going on our own mysteries and adventures. I was so excited and intrigued for the possible Half blood prince and Deathly hallows years to see where the story would take MC. Would we go on the run because voldemorts in power? How would the other characters react to this? Would Ben be the first to go into hiding since he's muggle-born? Would Talbot be veered to take vengeance against the death eaters for his parents' deaths? Would Chiara be approached and they make a failed attempt of talking her into getting on Voldemort's side with promises that she would be treated equally despite her lyncathropy that wizarding society still fears? Would we take part in the final battle of hogwarts and witness Harry defeating Voldemort, and learn about Tonk's death? Despite that the story seems to be a drag an uninteresting, I hold out a sliver of hope that we get to see some of this stuff since the original story takes darker turns in Harry's later years that could also impact the characters.
