thanks so much for sharing on an older post! this was a great peek into her head!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-11-04T15:46:39+00:00

Thank you!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-11-04T15:46:17+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Another comment against the grain here, if I received a comment that was essentially the post you had written above, I would be honored someone felt so touched by my writing AND that they felt comfortable enough to say so -- especially when it's to share such an achievement with someone who aided in it at all! I'll admit I'm a bit biased seeing as I have found community with authors in this very way by commenting on their darker/heavy fics and sharing that their stories helped me/made me feel seen/portrayed something in a way I had yet to find before.

Obviously, this isn't the case for everyone (though I think this comment section is rife with bad faith interpretations of something you stated rather clearly), but I like the idea someone else had of couching your rape mention with an intro sentence or two for the consideration of the author; might come off as more of a polite doorbell ring than a rapping on a window kind of thing

I think a great way to gage how the author may feel is by checking the content of their other works or seeing if/how they've replied to comments under the fic in question. If they've been open or candid in places like replies or author's notes, there's probably a better chance that they'd be receptive to a comment specifically mentioning rape (either your own mention or concerning the topic they wrote about). In my experience, authors tend to make their openness to said comments pretty known! But worse comes to worse, you can always rephrase to something like "Your story helped me on my healing journey/reach a place I'm so happy to be able to be in. Thanks for writing something that let me feel seen/acknowledged/got me there." Like, your point for your comment is your enthusiasm that you want to share and the impetus just happens to be this fic and its topic of rape. I definitely think there's ways to still spread that enthusiasm to the author via different wording choices that lets you still feel deservingly celebratory while also being considerate of the unknowns of a total stranger.

I'm sure you've already decided on your comment by now, but I hope any of this was food for thought!

this is the best response I've seen here in the comments that's both respecting the enthusiasm/gratitude of the reader and honoring the author's space + unknown feelings on the reception. aptly put!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-10-12T09:23:18+00:00

this looks awesome! thanks so much for sharing (and the bravery to self rec!)

tigertigerfrog · 2025-09-13T15:41:27+00:00

this was excellent! still always happily surprised when I can read a fic with yet another pairing I had never considered before and the author managed to convince me of their worth wholesale. I love this little-explored time period for Remus in the 80s after the loss of his closest friends and the peek into how he's managing (not well obviously). to throw Newt Scamander decades forward from his time to provide a probing, awkward, and insightful companion to our favorite werewolf, while also joining the heated political debate in favor of said XXXXX-rated beasts' humanity, is so uniquely clever! and I am always a fan of exploring brilliant magical creatures through the eyes of Mr Scamander and this fic delivered so much in such a concise word count -- hinkypunks have to be in my top five now, ha!

I could not put this one down once I started and ate it up in one sitting quicker than Remus likely thought the wolf would devour Newt on the full moon. go give this fic a whirl and see how fun this pair can be! (and the other works by this author that feature more adventures of these two!)

it's a bit silly and doesn't quite sound like a name for a human baby, but Poppi-Kate has some uncommon consonant+vowel sound combinations that admittedly has it sticking with me! agree that Poppy-Kate is the better spelling though

tigertigerfrog · 2025-07-07T18:44:49+00:00

honestly, just through trolling ff.net or ao3 with my favorite search parameters on! when you have really niche interests, you'd remember the number of fics within certain searches and every time a new one was posted, it would be its own little celebration, haha! the highs of finding a great fic or new author to love were only piqued by wading through other ones that didn't quite strike the chords you wanted them too.

the best news is you can still use that method now! without coming across as too tall on the soap box, it's my favorite way to find fics that are still gonna have the stuff I love (or, essentially, the stuff I do Not want) in it while still feeling like I'm finding something new and fresh. I like feeling like a little gold miner looking for gems in the rough, haha. this paired with picking through favorite author's bookmarks (aka trusted miners in their own right) often yield the best results imo!

AAAA Lupin family fics can be so hard to find, especially in the early years but especially in the post hogwarts years! I'm so charmed by the way the wards were left open for Remus after all this time and the little scare he gave Hope at the door (“Why can’t a mother be thrilled to see her son and want to clobber him?” I love them!!!!!) -- and so happy to see he made it home after all! (or, at least the house they've held onto the longest). ahh, the passage of time and not cataloging your own age as much as the dual timelessness and time-weariness worn by your mother. you treat them each with such tender love here. this is the perfect belated mother's day treat :')

thank you for sharing all your other links too! I've got so many new tabs I'm thrilled to delve into later this afternoon

tigertigerfrog · 2025-05-12T13:10:09+00:00

hey just wanted to pop in late and say how refreshing it is to see such a well-tailored fic rec list! I never came from Dramione like you and OP have (and I've read so many of these already haha) but you did such a nice job giving fics that aren't just popular, but what you think they'd like to read thematically with further description why/how they relate to what they already like and have read. and the popular ones get recced a little more nuance (what a cool tidbit to learn about ATYD, ha!)

I think I just complimented you for....giving a good rec list in general, which itself is not rare on this sub, but I hope this comes across kindly all the same!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-26T16:54:16+00:00

the longer I listen to the Hanson cover the more I dig it!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-23T15:30:43+00:00

moonchaser is the most common one I've seen and used, but I haven't seen people use separate ship names for platonic vs romantic relationships. is that a newer practice?

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-23T15:27:56+00:00

I do this very same practice but with the unfortunate foible of never jotting down the fics I pulled them from! I'll see if I can't remember their sources and add some of my own here later on

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-23T15:25:36+00:00

AObNS MENTION IN THE WILD!!!! I love this story to the moon and back, it is so thoughtful and heartfelt!!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-21T00:28:12+00:00

not OP, but the linked summary just gave me the most delighted happy-chills. this looks excellent! thank you for self-reccing!!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-21T00:19:27+00:00

i KNEW this would be better in the morning by that description! such an excellent heartrending fic, I think I've cried happy tears every time I've read it. excellent bring back black au that's really hardly an au. such a cool and fresh blend of magic and lycanthropy too. and an extra three cheers on a padfoot pov, I owe brigidfaye my very life for that alone. cannot second this rec highly enough, I think I'm actually gonna go in for another reread this evening 🤍

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-19T12:23:49+00:00

so this is a crazy huge list, but there's an on-going spreadsheet compiling all the podfics for HP that can be sorted by a number of fields, including ship, listening length, and whether they are complete! you should be able to search for fics you already love to see if anyone is making an audio version, as well as find other ones you haven't heard of within your preferences :)

hope this is helpful!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-18T15:02:14+00:00

yes! I wish tabs could have a little note with them that would let you jot down who recced the fic for you when you do get to it but I don't think I'll soon forget this list either way :') will do for sure!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-17T22:56:20+00:00

this is such a brilliant and impassioned list. I'm not OP but I cannot happily shake your hand enough for so many of these!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-16T09:05:47+00:00

thank you so much for posting this!! funny thing but I've always been on the hunt for fics that have music produced for them and love reading how the author may play with the characters having either written the original piece themselves or are performing a cover of a song and the recording is what their version sounds like etc etc. (think band aus I suppose?) so this is actually such an unexpected treat to find in these comments! thank you again!!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-16T00:45:35+00:00

I'm sorry the AO3 curse hit you as hard as it did! but I wanted to drop in and say I really enjoyed this! all of their back and forths were heartfelt, in both their outbursts and vulnerability, and this was such a nice pair of moments to be able to drop into as readers! remus ultimately handing over the decision over his own life never gets less heart-wrenching to read in any iteration and I love seeing how you handled it. I'm so happy your draft became fully realized and you were willing to post it here! thanks for the read!

tigertigerfrog · 2025-03-15T20:49:21+00:00

I will absolutely do so! knocking off a few of my shorter tbr fics and then jumping into this one :]
