Not the post I wanted to make this spring- but the post I have to make...

So, my heart is 💔 broken and my lungs 🫁 need help!

Which means - I need Open Heart surgery- again.

Cleavland Clinic has agreed to operate.

Cardiology and pulminology get a Crack at me.

It's a BIG procedure.

And I need help to get it.

If you can help, thank you.

If you can pray, thank you.

If you can share, thank you.

If you'd like to be apart of my fundraising team, dm your email!

If you just send good thoughts, thank you.

I'm scared. But, we've totally done this already.

At least this time I have time to prepare!

It's OHIO or bust time!

Link is in bio.

Full story is on the gofund me.

Arguing with stupid people is like playing chess with a pigeon

They knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut away like they won

File sharing is NOT stealing an authors work. Also- feel free to download and share my work all you want.

Did not expect to fight this battle yet again but here we are.

“File-sharing” is not people peddling stolen stories in a dark alley as a very few loud voices would have us believe. It is literally sharing stories with others who want to read them. Back in the early fandom days, stories were hand-written and distributed. Then came fanzines. Early internet days, fans printed whole stories and kept them in binders, passing them to friends in the hallways at school. Sharing stories is literally what fandom is built on.

“But what about the authors?” you may ask. If I don’t ask an author’s permission before sending my friend a link to the story on FFN or AO3, I’m not going to ask for the permission to send my friend my PDF or ePub of the same story. Just like I don’t ask for an author’s permission before sharing my books with others. Also, think about this. Safe/everythursday had been gone from fandom and social media for a few years before Hawthorn & Vine went down. If it weren’t for those gosh awful file-sharing thieves, fans would never be able to read The Fallout again. Or Parade of the Sun. Or For Whom the Bell Tolls. You get my point.

Don’t buy into the hype. Being against file-sharing is a new (and incredibly minority) belief that only exists in small sunsets of this fandom, and it’s time that mindset died out.

Signed,

An author that knows names of people with PDFs of my stories and is tickled pink by it, and also knows that some of the loudest antis have their own PDFs saved and have shared them with me

Dramione

An act of heroism. A moment of insanity. A life of indebtedness. A short story dealing with disability and hurt. And hope. And love.

📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚

A dramione from my own 'to read' list.

I adore this author and recomend everyone follow trinkisme on tumblr. Her mood boards are heavenly and her stories always leave an impression on your heart. She has her pulse in the dramione fandom and always knows what you should be reading! The woman herself is one of my guardian Angel's and I can not express my love for her enough.

It is with great pleasure that I feature her here for y'all.

Xoxo

Appendices chapter 8 is up

But most importantly, look at the amazing aesthetic @botwp gifted to me! 😍💛😍❤😍💚😍💙😍💜 Thank you so much!

A huge thank-you-so-fucking much for reading, kudosing, and commenting on Appendices during my hiatus from this fic! There were a couple of times when I seriously considered throwing the towel on this chapter, but your continued support helped me so much to pull through. You are all amazing!

Read it on AO3 | FFN

.

Excerpt:

She grabbed her magnifying glass and zoomed in, blinking a couple of times to clear her field of vision.

The speck was a tiny crest. Three black ravens were depicted, topped by an arm which held a sword, and a skull surrounded by acanthus leaves. She didn’t have to increase the zoom of her glass to know the family motto written beneath it.

Toujours pur.

TRUTH

Gryffindor: You mock my pain!

Slytherin: Life is pain, Gryff.

Slytherin: Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Haven't see you around much, felt like you needed this today: ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Ah- thank you. Sadly I am going through a divorce and move. So, life has taken away my time. I super needed those hearts today. 💜🧡💛💚💙❤

I was looking on the enchanting the bookworm files and I could not find A Dowry of a Single Galleon by Bunney. I believe she removed it from AOS. I was wondering if it could be added to this file. I've had a wonderful time seeing some stories I haven't read in a long time. Thank you and I hope that you and your family had a wonderful holiday.

We are so happy you are enjoying @enchantingthebookworm the bookworms Hermione centric archive files. I will pass this request on to the archive team.

Files archived in our system most be 'lost'meaning they have no useable link available on the internet.

I personally do not run our fic hunters team but I would suggest posting this in the group itself. One of our members might have a downloadable copy for you.
