If i was hypothetically considering expanding a certain Viking one-shot, should i:

- keep Harry Potter names for all the other people in the court even though they are terribly terribly anachronistic

OR

- use the historically accurate real names of the people the characters are loosely based on (a sort of fan fiction in itself) but which have no relation to a Viking ‘Harry potter’ universe.

Considering that this is a muggle AU anyway so it is basically as far away from hp as you can get…

Are you working on anything new? I love Creep and HGD - can’t wait to read whatever’s next!

Thank you so much!

So in theory, yes. I have three wips. In reality…

*primal screaming at my google docs*

I’ve been finding it very difficult to find time and brain space to write this year (booooo) for a combination of reasons.

1) I’ve just started the third year of my dphil (eek) so workload is increasing and brain capacity decreasing. I’ve actually seen a decline in the amount of fiction I’ve been reading too which I think is associated, which leads me onto…

2) I went through a stage of reading fiction that wasn’t very well written and therefore wasn’t very inspiring? Wanky/controversial thing to say because I love to read trash and I think it is very important to read trash! But have recently realised I feel like you do when you eat too much crap food and want some vegetables. If you have any recs of *actually well written things* please let me know!

3) I’ve put out a few shorter/one shots that funnily enough I wrote after reading something I really enjoyed (I am really proud of my pansy/daphne one shot On bombs, broken glass and love). My big multi chapter wips are slower to produce and so take longer to share! Normally I try to have at least half of anything written before I start posting.

4) all my ideas are bigger than my talent lol. One of them is set in the Victorian era so I’ve been messing around with historical research. Another is inspired by fucking AI and quantum mechanics, of all things, which I know NOTHING ABOUT. Hehe :) I rly wanna do them justice though because they make my brain feel nice when it’s not stuttering to a halt. The third idea I just can’t get the tone of the thing right.

Anyway please accept these long rambles as hopefully a relatively satisfying answer??

Two resources for looking at medieval manuscripts online for free:

medieval.bodleian.ox.ac.uk - browse by ‘manuscripts’ then filter by ‘digital facsimile online’

Parker.Stanford.edu/parker - explore the collection or page-level details!

Remember that manuscripts that are wrinkled and used and ancient are all the more special because of those things. The same goes for you, too.

Had a drink at that famous wizarding hotel, The Savoy.

Sometimes I am amused by how my life ends up mirroring my fanfics? (Hermione and Draco conduct their sneaky hook ups here in Hermione Granger’s Diary, in an ode to all the fanfics that reference this hotel lol).

I did not have a sneaky hook up but I did have a very nice martini

Draco: Hey, How's the boyfriend?

Hermione: I've told you a hundred times that Ron and I broke up. Why do you keep asking this?

Draco: Feels incredibly good to hear the news.

from a wip that may or may never see the light of day

“I’ve thought of a name.”

“Oh, have you Luna?” Granger asked. She spoke in a voice that indicated she didn't spend a lot of time around small children, but certainly considered Luna to be on a similar intellectual level.

“Yes. It’s an acronym. I know you like those.”

“I do.” 

“SPERM,” she announced. Draco coughed. Granger was stopped in her tracks. 

“SPERM,” she replied, through tight lips. Luna was oblivious, or very good at winding Granger up. 

“Suggestions, Prophecies, Eventualities and Revelations Magic,” Luna explained.

I cannot believe how lucky I am to have @iggygiraffe record Caput Mortuum. It is truly such an honour <3 <3 <3

When I first started writing fanfic I had 3 unrealistic goals, and one of them was to have someone like it so much they wanted to record it. Feels like such a pinch me moment :') thank you iggy a million times over for literally making a dream come true!

@cr0ftisprocrastinating was the first author to ever reply to a comment of mine and I was SO star struck. I remember getting all flustered when I got that notification. Still happens actually, many comments later. I'm so honoured to be recording her words - that same fic that garnered that first reply, in fact. It's halfway now and I'm having an absolutely amazing time with it (again!) :)

It's on Spotify and AO3 if you want to (re)experience the awesomeness that is Caput Mortuum!

Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.
