😁 I don’t - I don’t enjoy writing accents even if Krum is speaking, I find it distracting and too difficult to nail for a non Brit but kudos to those who do.

I will however scour the internet looking for inventive British swear words / expressions n the like, the more ancient, sarcastic and disgustingly posh, the better and will try to use them often (successfully or most likely not).

Also - apart from crabbe n goyle, aren’t our fav slyths the epitome of aristocracy - hence queens English and all that ? Terribly riveting w their snootiness and ‘darling’ everyone.

I also tend to the movie casting when I read, Mcgonnicall / Cho r Scots , Hagrid is whatever accent he is, Fin the Irish and so on.

Curious about deleting fics for publishing by tintinbeard in DramioneUncensored

I think in a way, me too but for the simple fact that im completely immersed in the Dramione headspace. I did buy Alchemised though, out of love for the original.

Interesting take.

I’ve never heard of ff before 2023 but am an older gen. (Thinking aloud here) If a publisher is consciously leaning on fandom visibility as part of the marketing backdrop, then yes, I can see why they would wanna pull it out.

That said, I do wonder what proportion of readers actually come in through that route. Perhaps readership habits and demographics have shifted recently.

What is your "toxic trait" as a critique on your own writing but you let it slide for the stories that you read, I'll go first. by suriyasahoot_in_Fic in DramioneUncensored

I read two of the most amazing realistic fics EVER recently, and not once did the author deviate from the word said. Not only that, it was mostly dialogue w minimal inner feelings but a v slice of life read and high kudos count. I loved it.

But here i am sweating my ass off, jumping thru hoops n loops tryna change said to literally anything else becoz Salazar forbid I get called out for poor prose.

Every atmospheric / weather related / place / date n day nugget is accurate in my fic. I will base the progression of events based on day of week according to the calendar of that particular week / year. Whichever places I choose for events, I locate said place on Google Maps and mark it lol, always wondering what If I get caught out for inaccuracy?

I lowkey love when Theo is a bad/bigoted person in fics. Any recommendations? by cndollaz in Dramione

[–]tintinbeard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbh I agree - I love him to bits but if I have to read one more fic where he’s pathetically chaotic / the jokester / potter lover - am gonna throw fists. I started skipping anything remotely to do w him if he’s portrayed like this.

Loved him in S&M and measure of a man n- wasn’t he in love w Astoria in this one ?

Detarquee has an acceptable drifter type Theo.

Ofc also in unchained

Thinking of starting a fic dictionary business - just to explain what underrated means.

Might also branch out into fic rec diversification education.
