#I'll still reblog Wolfstar and answer asks about Wolfstar

[mollymarymarie]

Hey! Hope you're doing well! I saw on a post that you said you weren't writing wolfstar anymore. I just wanted to see if you meant like permanently? I totally understand if you are, but I wanted to ask. Hope you have a lovely day.

Yeah, that's unfortunately the case. I do love Wolfstar, I always will, and I will support my fellow fanfic writers and fanartists when I can, but I had kind of a negative experience on Tumblr regarding the fact that I still write for a series that was created by a transphobe. And I was already struggling with that on my own, so I just gave it up.

I believed that I was subverting her by using her characters to make a world more inclusive and caring and loving than the one she started, but not everyone sees it that way, and I get it. She's a garbage human. More so every day.

That being said, I would absolutely never judge anyone who remains active in that fandom, because it's a huge community full of wonderful people and I still think good comes from that. I still love all the friends I made here, but those negative comments/experiences sort of stuck with me and I just pulled back from fandom, in general.

I am still writing! (If you're into Jujutsu Kaisen and Satosugu, feel free to stick around lol) I wrote Wolfstar for so long, so exclusively, that the general dynamic and vibe of whatever I write is still going to read like Wolfstar 😂

Hi! I found your blog through the female rage substack article that you posted and I’m curious about a couple things (so I hope the tone of this ask will read as genuine/non-confrontational etc).

I really liked the article and the anti-gender essentialist content, so I looked through the others and eventually found your jegulus article (which I read and also liked) but I was sort of surprised to see that you are a part of the hp/marauders fandom. For me personally, everything related to that franchise has just been tainted since the whole jkr terf debacle really took off. I was big on hp when I was younger and wolfstar is a ship/dynamic that I enjoyed back then, so I’d probably like your stuff if I were to read it. But I decided some time ago to give any and all hp content the chop, because to me it didn’t feel right to engage with it anymore. So I was just wondering how you feel in that regard, if you don’t mind sharing. I don’t have anyone in my internet content circle that still actively posts about hp and if irl friends still enjoy it then it’s not something we talk about, so I’d just like to know how you juggle the ‘two sides’ in that sense of your trans-positive/anti-essentialist beliefs and fandom content that’s still so intrinsically connected to jkr and her politics. (Also, sorry if you’ve answered a question like this before. I scrolled through your blog a bit, but if yes then not far enough.)

Anyway, hope you’re well and I’ll probably keep an eye out for any future essays on your substack even if I don’t follow you on here. cheers! (and thanks for the “playing the whore” book rec, I’ll be looking into that. a rec from my end would be paul b. preciado's "can the monster speak". it's the written version of a speech he tried to give at a Freudian psychoanalysis conference about the position trans people occupy in psychoanalysis before being booed off stage. it was short and pretty intriguing, in case you're interested/haven't heard of it yet.)

hi! happy 2 hear u enjoyed the female rage essay--i wasn't expecting it to spread as much as it did + had to turn off reblogs for my own peace of mind 2 keep terfs away from my blog, but it's nice to know there are still people getting something out of it. also appreciate the book rec--that definitely sounds up my alley + i'm excited to check it out!

and i'll do my best to answer your question about hp, but i'm gonna put it under a cut because i know this is a contentious topic + i have a feeling my answer's gonna get long--so if anyone doesn't want 2 read abt my conflicting hp-fandom thoughts, just scroll away please xx

so, quite honestly, i'm in agreement with you that the entire franchise is tainted by jkr. the truth is that it was never really my intention to join the fandom--i read a single fic because it went viral on tiktok, then decided to rewrite the fic from another character's pov just for fun. at that point, i hadn't read any other hp fic and had never been involved in any kind of online fandom space, and although i'd read the hp books + watched the movies growing up i hadn't touched them in years + was so far removed from the franchise that i vaguely remembered hearing jkr had said some terfy stuff, but wasn't aware of the extent to which her politics were like. actively and significantly causing real-life harm.

anyway, i'd done a rewrite for fun of another story i liked and had posted it on ao3, and that had received a handful of people commenting + talking about the story with me as i wrote but had remained pretty self-contained + small. i was expecting the same sort of thing with the hp fic i rewrote, but instead someone posted about it on tiktok and it went viral, and then suddenly there were thousands of people reading every ch update and hundreds of comments. like i said, i had never been involved in an online fandom space before, so i sort of awkwardly stumbled into it and tried to figure out what i was doing as i finished up writing the fic. this was at a point in my life where i'd recently moved to a different country and had to go back in the closet after being publicly out for years, and this online fandom space became my only queer community and a bit of a lifeline in that way. i started making actual friends and talking to people + getting more deeply involved in the community aspect of things.

at the same time, i started actually educating myself on jkr + her politics + her impact, and the more i learned the more uncomfortable i became with being part of anything hp-related. now, i've been writing hp fic for almost two years and 'active' in the fandom for ~one and a half, and despite being grateful for the friends i've made and treasuring the space i've been able to cultivate, i've become increasingly disenchanted with 'the fandom' as a whole and have increasingly found it to be a hostile space, so i've sort of taken a step back from broader engagement and more + more have limited my interaction to just my mutuals here on tumblr. unfortunately, i think many of the 'bad parts' of this fandom are somewhat built-in because of the source material; there are a lot of people who agree with jkr's politics to varying extents and that can make it kind of a miserable place to be sometimes. i know many people insist that hp can be completely removed from jkr, but i don't think that's the case, and i've talked on my blog before about the fact that her politics are built into the very foundations of the text, so i think it's necessary to acknowledge her influence if we want to actually engage with hp at all in a way that isn't just perpetuating her politics.

all that being said, the point i'm at currently is that i'm not really sure that this fandom is a space i want to be a part of forever. again--i understand how it can be lifeline for some people and a queer community they might not have elsewhere, because that's been the case for me. but for me personally, as much as i value my own carved-out space, it doesn't completely outweigh the negatives that i have found myself coming into contact with more and more in this fandom. writing hp fic is also something that i keep strictly separate from 'real life,' contained solely in this online space, because i know that any engagement with hp is a red flag for many, many trans people and i don't want to bring it outside of this space. within this online space, i don't keep it a secret that i write hp fic; it's right at the top of my blog so that anyone who wants to can easily block and unfollow me. i only post my fics on ao3, where they are clearly tagged as harry potter fanfiction, and i only post about hp fic + fandom stuff on this blog, which was specifically created for that purpose. i've requested that people no longer post about my hp fics on platforms like tiktok where the algorithm could send it out onto anyone's fyp, and that request is also in my pinned faq. keeping my hp fic as contained as possible to only people who are already engaging with hp fic is one way that i try to mitigate any harm that might be caused by my fics contributing to hp's ongoing popularity.

the other ways i try to mitigate potential harm are by actively discouraging people from giving any financial support to hp + jkr and by being very vocal about my politics on this page, so that anyone who is following me will be getting pro-trans and anti-gender essentialism politics along with any hp engagement. i also don't engage with hp uncritically; i am specifically critical of the shitty politics in the books both in my posts on this blog and my fics themselves. i don't make it a secret that i think the books are politically rotten all the way down through to the foundations.

none of this is to say that there's, like...a Right Way to engage with this content or a set of rules that, if followed, Absolve All Shittiness. this is just an explanation of the personal evaluations i've had to weigh when it comes to deciding how i'm going to interact with content that is fundamentally opposed to my own politics. and again, i don't blame people who think that any amount of engagement is morally untenable and completely block it out. this is a growing source of cognitive dissonance in my own life, and i'm increasingly considering whether/for how much longer i want to continue to write fic + be involved in hp fandom. but for the time being, i'm still here + still writing fic, and i guess my feeling is that any harm that fic causes is a drop in the bucket, and even if i were to stop writing it wouldn't necessarily have a huge impact either way. i'm just some random guy online like everyone else; even though i talk about politics, that doesn't mean that i'm asking to be held up as some sort of moral standard, nor do i think anyone should be expected to be 100% politically perfect in every action they take--like, for me, writing hp fic kind of falls into the same category as like...eating mcdonalds even though i think factory farming is fucked, or buying + wearing makeup sometimes even though i think the beauty industry is fundamentally corrupt, or paying to see the new guardians of the galaxy movie in theaters even though i think marvel movies are us military propaganda. i don't think "no ethical consumption under capitalism" is an excuse to completely abandon any attempt to mitigate the harm our actions might cause, but it does matter to me the way in which someone is engaging with a fundamentally broken/corrupt piece of media beyond simply whether or not they're engaging at all. at the end of the day, it's up to everyone on their own to evaluate where they draw the line on hp, and i am not looking to make that judgment for anybody else considering that my own thoughts + feeling about it are still changing.

About this account

Hello friends!

This is a side account of @stars-a-n-d-scars, where I reccomend wolfstar fics that I have found and loved. The aim of this blog is for people who are looking for fics to be able to come and find them, as well as to promote writers and ficswho don't get as much love as they deserve.

If you have a fic you want to send me, whether it be yours or someone else's, please don't hestiate! I love recieving messages from people, whether they are reccomending a fic, or telling me what they thought of one that I read. Also, if you notice a mistake in any of my posts, please, PLEASE let me know and I will fix it.

I try to stick to happy fics, or at least ones that have happy endings, so if you're looking for extreme angst, this probably isn't the right place for you, however I will occasionally post something a bit angstier if it's just too amazing to ignore.

Reccomending a Fic: As I stated above, I love getting fics from people! Unfortunetely, I will not rec WIPs, but if you have one, send it to me and I will keep an eye on it, and possibly rec when its finished (there may be some exceptions to this rule, such as abandoned fics that I consider to be resolved). If you send one through to me, I will tag you and mention that it was your reccomendation, or if it was an anonymous ask I will make sure to mention that.

I take fics from all platforms! Although the ones that I find myself will mostly be on ao3, I have no issue with being sent fics from livejournal, fanfiction.net or even ones just posted here on tumblr! So if you have one, don't hesitate to send it through.

Asking for a Fic: If you're looking for a fic with specific perameters, or a rec list along those lines, please send these through as asks, rather than private messages. This way, not only can it help other people who have the same request, but people can reblog it and add anything that I missed.

If you're looking for a particular fic, e.g. one that you read a while ago and forgot the name of, feel free to ask, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to find it for you. However, I will still answer your ask and perhaps someone else will be able to help you out.

Requesting Credit: I always try and find an author's tumblr when I'm reccomending a fic, but a lot of the time they are not linked, in which case I just link to their page on a03. If you find a fic that belongs to you or someone you know on my page, and would like to be credited with your tumblr as well as a03, don't hesitate to reach out and I will rectify that immediately. The same goes for orphaned fics - if you know who's it is, and they don't mind being credited, let me know!

Will not rec: There are some things I will never reccomend. This is because I read every fic I reccomend, and these are topics which I don't enjoy or which trigger me. The things I will not reccomend are:

Graphic Rape/Non-Con (if the characters have a history of sexual assault that's okay, as long as it is addressed in a way I deem appropriate)

Beastiality

Watersports

Major Self Harm

Cheating (No problem with suspected/implied, as long as it isn't true)

No Happy Ending (again, there may be exceptions)

Wolfstarbucks and other polyamorous wolfstar relationships

Anything in second person (e.g. Reader x Wolfstar, Reader as wolfstar's child)

Abusive wolfstar relationship

I think that's about it! So, take care of yourselves, drink lots of water, and happy reading!
