I just had a talk with my thesis supervisor and I want to check something real quick.

I want to write my bachelor's thesis about fanficion and AI - specifically about fanfiction writers' attitude towards the use of generative AI in fandom spaces

The survey (and the rest of the thesis) is still v much in the making, I just want to check how many potential responders I could reach from this account

Pls reblog after voting

What I can say about the survey for now:

1. The survey will be anonymous!

2. The survey will be in English (but the rest of my thesis will not. I am however required to write an abstract in English)

3. My supervisor said it's fine if I want to focus on one fandom - In this case it will be the HP fandom. However I would like to include as many reposnes as I can, so it will probably not be a requirement to be in the HP fandom.

4. You don't need to write fanfiction to take part in the survey (but there will be a question if you read and/or write fanfics). You need to be in the fandom though

5. You need to be over 18 (most likely)

I want to keep myself anonymous as well so there is a possibility I will have to make a separate sideblog/account for it.

If anyone will be interested in the results, for some reason - I am required to write the abstract in English, so I might share the abstract. Maybe. More info after I write anything for my thesis.

“You might as well just kill me. I’m a loose end.” He said instead. Suddenly, the distance between them was closed, and the vampire was inches away, eyes boring holes right through his own, yet Regulus couldn’t look away. “What’s your name, baby?” The vampire asked, and Regulus was confident he would have melted if he could move. “Regulus.” He spilled seemingly involuntarily, swallowing at the pet name as an afterthought. “And yours?” “You can call me James.” James half whispered, “Do you want me to kill you, Regulus?” … In a world where dark creatures haunt the shadows, Regulus has an encounter that leaves him feeling something other than scared. More like, obsessed.

Chapter 4 has arrivedddd

This is my Twilight parody except the vampires don’t sparkle, the plot makes sense, there are no minors, no abusive relationships, and it's gay! What more could you ask for?

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

[long-lost-potter143]

You were acting like it was the end of the world

At first glance, when Regulus looked up, three intruders were very clearly stealing from him. They grabbed things off the walls and shelves and put them into cloth bags. They had their heads completely covered in scarves, only their eyes showing out of a tiny slit in the fabric. Before Regulus could react, he was grabbed and yanked into someone’s arms; of course, someone was standing by the door. He could feel the cold steel of a dagger pressed to his neck, and he heard someone close the door softly behind him. “No one here wants to hurt you, Your Highness; just don’t scream or try to escape.”

This might straight up be the first fic I’ve written where there isn’t a strong romantic plot.

There are many hints at Jegulus, and clearly, there is some pining there, but the plot takes center stage. Now, should I ever make a part 2 (which would not happen any time soon), they would certainly end up together, but this story is more focused on building the world and the characters.

So please enjoy!

I just realized how unlikely trans Barty is for one reason and one reason only.

His name.

While I can surely see Regulus choosing that name for himself to fit in the theme with the family he was still aligned with at the time, there is no way in hell that Barty figured out he was a boy and decided to choose the same name as his father lmao.

Idk how I didn’t think of this till just now

[long-lost-potter143]

A collection of one-shots, all entirely unrelated to each other, that feature the sun and his star and how they would be in every universe.

This will serve as a dumping ground for all of the short little Jegulus fics I write but am not sure what to do with lol

Chapter 3: Go With It

Regulus runs into his ex in public, who happens to be on a date. Regulus absolutely cannot look like he hasn't moved on yet, so James will have to do.

I changed my username!

I'm formerly long-lost-Weasley394, but I haven't resonated with that username in a while.

I've also changed my Ao3 username for synergy! So I'm Longlostpotter over there.

Dinner

Based on a request from @vaylina that I finally got to!

Swallowing nervously, and going through everything Sirius had taught him over and over in his brain, James approached Regulus from behind, tapping him on the shoulder.

At first, when the other man turned, he looked confused- his beautiful eyes were wide and a bit surprised, and his face was a bit welcoming. But as soon as he was James, his expression changed to one of annoyance and anger. Immediately, he threw a finger in the air, enough for even James to know what he was saying- 'fuck off.'

But, steeling himself, James pushed forward, moving his hands clumsily through the gestures he'd learned over the past few weeks, greeting Regulus slowly. 'Hi,' he signed, his eyes on the other man. 'I'm James.'

Eyes wide with shock now, Regulus took a moment to process this new development before moving his hands much more skillfully. 'I know, idiot. What are you doing, Potter?'

James signed, 'I want to talk. I'm learning.'

Regulus stared at him reproachfully, eyes full of distrust. 'Why?'

'I like you,' James moved his hands, heart beating quickly, studying every change in Regulus's face, hoping against hope that the other man wouldn't reject him.

But instead of seeing happiness or disgust on Regulus's features, all he saw was confusion. 'What?'

James thought back to what Sirius had taught him. 'I like you,' he tried again, less sure now.

Except he was wrong. 'James. You're saying I eat you,' Regulus signed, fingerspelling the word quickly, causing James to turn a bit red.

'Oh. I'll eat you, too," James signed with a suggestive grin, smiling triumphantly when he made Regulus let out a surprised chuckle.

'Let's start with dinner' Regulus sighed, but he was smiling as well.

Just a note that the grammar and syntax for BSL and ASL is extremely different than English, but I chose to write this with English grammar.

Sirius: Part of the Remus Lupin allure is, number one, that he’s hot. But number two, he has mystique. He’s mysterious. He doesn’t look you in the eye when he’s talking to you-

James: That’s not mystique, that’s autism

Sirius: It’s pronounced hotism

[long-lost-potter143]

Barty, barging into the Gryffindor common room: What’s up losers!

Sirius: Wh—

Barty: I actually don’t care, don’t answer that!

Remus: That—

Barty: Anywhoo! Am just here to collect my bitches!

James: Hey—!

Barty, looking at Pandora & Dorcas: Respectfully.

Barty, turning to Regulus: Disrespectfully.

Marauders & Friends:

Barty: Alright, great talk! Let’s go bitches!

Pandora, Regulus & Dorcas kissing their respective partners and following Barty out of the common room.

Marlene: …What the fuck just happened?

Lily: No fucking clue.

Remus: Sirius is my friend and if he loves me, it’s the same way he would love a sibling.

Regulus: Sirius is my brother and if he looked at me the way he looks at you, I would have to see a therapist.

@moonwatermicrofics — May 30th — Prompt: Flirting (339 words)

“That’s not what I said! Shut up.” Regulus laughed, moving Remus’ head away with a gentle shove that sent the other man into a laughing fit as well. It was rare that Remus laughed so freely, he hated his laugh. Snorts and hiccups; nothing attractive. But here he was, not seeming to care about any insecurity now.

And Sirius was very fucking confused because of it.

He had been watching them for the past hour as they all sat around the living room; James’ head on Sirius’ thigh as he scrolled through tiktok—all four of them would have vocal tics when familiar videos popped up—whilst Remus and his brother were on the floor. Regulus was on his front, legs behind him and in the air as he tried to read his book in peace with Remus on his back making comments every so often.

It was weird, Sirius thought, to see Remus like this. He’d never been like this. Relaxed. He was a tense prat, shoulders squared for no reason and a furrow in his brow despite nothing being wrong. But around Regulus he seemed to melt into the floor. What the fuck was happening?

He took his phone and started typing, hoping James wouldn’t be so distracted by whatever bullshit was playing on his phone now.

They’re flirting.

James paused his scrolling to look at his screen, then looked up at Sirius. He was about to say something, probably asking why he was texting instead of talking, but Sirius gave him a glare.

who is

my brother and our so called best friend

moony and reg??? come off it

THEY ARE LOOK

James and Sirius both subtly looked over to the other twos spot on the floor where Remus was smiling up at Regulus as he watched him read, his finger tracing one of Regulus' tattoos on his forearm, and James' mouth dropped open.

"Holy shit they are—" Remus and Regulus both looked at him with a frown.

"What?" Remus asked whilst Sirius smacked James upside the head.
