Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

Lily: I don’t know what i should be for halloween.

James: my girlfriend.

Lily: you’re right that would be scary.

so! you want to rip a fic from fanfiction dot net?

I’m sure at this point we’ve all seen the posts about FFN’s inevitable demise. Not to downplay how much that would suck, for all we riff on FFN–but people have been saying that for literal years at this point, and while I do not doubt that FFN is dying, it’s probably not going to up and vanish on us in the next week. It’s got some good time of chugging and wheezing along left yet.

But among the panic there are people asking sincere questions about what can be done to save fics from FFN in the case of the site going down and taking literal decades of fandom history with it, and I’m seeing a surprising amount of people saying that the only way to do it is to either screenshot the fics or type them out yourself because copy/paste does not work on FFN. And that is just blatantly not true. There are many ways in which you can save fics from FFN. Here are just a few:

You can copy/paste directly from the mobile site. This is probably one of the easiest methods for anyone to do. Just click on the URL of the chapter you’re reading, and change the www. to m. Hit enter and the page will reload in mobile mode. You can now copy/paste the chapter right into a word document. You will have to go chapter by chapter.

CTRL+S. Go to the fic you want to save, and hit ctrl+s. Save the damn webpage. This will keep it in the exact format of the webpage, which you could see as a pro or a con, but it will also keep the ads, which does suck. You’ll also have to go chapter by chapter with this method but it does go a lot faster than manually copy/pasting the text.

HTML to PDF. This method I’m admittedly a little less sure about, since when I used it it was like, 2013 and I was in highschool so I’m not sure how viable it still is, but–just a quick google search should find you a website that will let you save a webpage as a PDF file. I have folders and folders of fics I saved back in highschool using this method. It will again have to go chapter by chapter and just like saving the webpage will keep the format of the site intact–down to keeping the ads.

Use a fanfiction downloader. Two I’ve been using for years are FF2eBook and FicHub. You put in the link of the fic you want to download and it converts the entire thing into a file for you. Yes, the entire thing–you don’t need to manually go through chapter by chapter. By default, both sites download in epub format, though FicHub does have a few other options. I’ve never really experimented with them though because I’m personally fine with epub, and there are a million epub to pdf (or other file type) converters out there.

And there you go: a handful of ways for you to save your favourite fics before FFN goes under. Again, I don’t think it’s something to be too worried about, but the best time to do your part for fandom preservation was yesterday. The second best time is to get started right now. There is no reason to wait for FFN to be on its death bed to start saving fics. I’ve been doing this for years just so I have fics to read offline. 

I’m a little too young to have been around for livejournal, but I was one of those weirdos that posted their first fics on quizilla. I remember when quizilla just…changed. And so much was lost. Looking back, almost none of what was posted on quizilla was actually good, but it was still something that someone put time and effort and passion into creating, and it was important.

There is almost no way that when FFN inevitably goes down that its entire archive will be saved. But we can do our best to save as much as we can. Stop panicking and start saving.

I think that, undeniably, the funniest part of Harry Potter is the fact that Draco and Harry are constantly taunting each other in the Great Hall, even though they’re separated by the Hufflepuff AND Ravenclaw tables. which means that they’re literally yelling at each other in front of the entire school. here’s a scenario I’m picturing:

Scene 1: dinner in the Great Hall, camera zoomed out, whole hall in view

Draco: *yelling* Hey! Hey, Potter!

Harry: *yelling back, even louder* What, Malfoy?

Draco: Heard you and Pretty Boy Diggory have a date coming up in the Prefects’ Bathroom!

Harry: Fucking YEAH we do, Malfoy! *smirks* Why do you ask? Interested in stopping by?

Draco: You— *blushes furiously* Just wait until my father hears about this, Potter! You just wait!

Harry: Ah, well you can go on and tell Lucius that he’s welcome to join, too!

Draco: *squawks in disbelief, then storms out of the hall*

Scene 2: camera follows Draco running for the bloody hills, zooming in on Blaise and Pansy as he passes behind them

Blaise: *fork hovering halfway to his mouth* Potter is a bloody LEGEND, Pans.

Pansy: *reading Witch Weekly, literally hasn’t looked up in seven (7) minutes* Yes, Blaise. He’s a cheeky little shit. We all know this by now.

Scene 3: camera cuts to the head table, zooming in on Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape

McGonagall: Mr. Malfoy appears to be rather besotted with Mr. Potter, Severus.

Snape: Indeed, Minerva. One can only hope that Mr. Malfoy soon recognizes the error in his throes of unhinged passion.

Scene 4: camera cuts to the Gryffindor table, focusing in on Ron and Hermione whispering to each other

Ron: What the bloody hell was that all about, Mione?

Hermione: *gives Ron a pitying look* Oh, Ronald. They’re clearly interested in each other!

Ron: What are you getting at?

Hermione: They like each other, Ron! Romantically!

Ron: Oh. *pauses briefly* Then why does Harry have a date with Diggory?

Hermione: Honestly, Ron!

Scene 5: camera pans over to the Hufflepuff table, centering on Cedric

Cedric: *frowning at his plate* Hold on... *looking around desperately* I didn’t mean he should take a bath with ME! His egg! He needs to take his EGG in the bath!

everyone: *confused silence*

Scene 6: cuts to Heaven, James looking down at the scene proudly, Lily nearby

James: *tearing up* Oh, Lily! Our boy is worse than Padfoot and I were combined!

Lily: That’s... maybe not something we should be encouraging, James.

James: We’re dead, Lils! We can encourage him from up here all we want! Bloody brilliant, that is!

headcanon that after the war all the students come back to hogwarts to make up for the lost year and get their NEWTs and it becomes a thing that each time a minor inconvenience happens they just go “harry potter didn’t die for this shit.” everyone loses their mind when harry spills pumpkin juice all over himself in the great all and audibly gasps “i didn’t die for this shit.”

‘you look so tired’ i know babe, it’s because i’ve spent all night reading silly little fanfics of dead wizards from the 70s and wishing i existed in the same universe instead of sleeping.

james potter was twenty-one years old when he watched the most powerful dark wizard alive walk into his home to kill his son and faced him wandless to give his wife and child just one last chance at surviving and i feel like that is not talked about enough
