#severitus is killing me

[maledictusfotum]

We see you, Opal

this took me...like...at least 4 hours of nonstop-hyper focus and im not entirely happy with it but hey ANYWAY Jack Stauber's "Opal" is PEAK and therefore I had to project onto Harry by projecting on Opal??? the cycle... speed paint/sketch under the cut...

had to put it on TikTok bc idk but anyway

[inkyarcturus]

Hello I'm just curious

Do you read some Severitus fanfiction ?

Because I saw that you draw Severitus art and I love it !!

If you read some ,Which Severitus fanfiction do you prefer the most ?

HIII!!! So I’m assuming you’re new to my blog- welcome- it is essentially Severitus heaven. You will find be fed frequently. Sorry for replying to this so late- school is killing me ;-;

Severitus fanfiction is the main fanfic that I read!!!

I have an old list of recommendations somewhere in my posts but here’s the ones I can remember off the top of my head!

1. Heir to the House of Prince by Elph13

Ongoing 3 part series over a million words in total TW: SA, Self-Harm, Alcoholism and a bunch of other stuff

This is my favorite fic of all time, I quite literally cannot recommend it enough. It has Snupin and NottPott as its main two pairings and it’s just chiefs kiss, MWAH

(U need an ao3 account to read this one)

2. Oh Mine Enemy by Kirbylane

TW: Addiction, abuse

Another solid completed fic, very popular,

3. Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd

TW: Abuse, self harm, suicide attempts, probably more I haven’t read it in a while

I remember reading this 3 or even more years ago- very solid fic, I think if you like Severitus you have probably already read it before

4. A Small Step for a Boy by SerenaEW

Completed one shot, TW: ED

Very cute lil story that I sometimes go to for a lil break from the angst. Harry struggles to eat food after the dursleys and Severus succeeds in finding something he likes.

5. That Awful Boy by Paracosim

Unfortunately incomplete, snupin, abuse, a lil addiction with smoking.

In conclusion, I like my Severitus fics angsty as all hell with equal amounts of fluff. I physically can’t handle angsty fics without fluff.

Long Harry Potter fic recs

I tend to revert back to ye olden ways whenever I'm stressed, so of course I've been going down a rabbit hole of increasingly longer Harry Potter fics. I found some hidden (and not so hidden) gems along the way, and I figured I'd rec them for everyone to enjoy.

Most are slash, some are gen, pairings vary but they are all harry centric!

Fics are completed and arranged by length, do send the authors some love! If you have a specific ship you want recs for, just message me, I probably have some!

The Best

say_no_more

Summary:

Cedric demands only the best of himself, and for himself. The best marks in school, the best position on the quidditch team, and the best reputation. When it's time for him to begin dating, he won't settle for less than the best partner, as well.

80k Cedric/Harry

Independent Study

SomewheresSword

Summary:

Dumbledore doesn't make it in time for Harry's trial, and the outcome is very different. Harry is expelled, his wand snapped.

But he refuses to give up. And he is done waiting around for Albus Dumbledore to give him information.

Deciding to take his life into his own hands, Harry asks for training from several Order members, preparing himself to fight Voldemort while the whole wizarding world believes he's helpless and back in the muggle world. 

Meanwhile, his friends are at Hogwarts, tackling their own problems in the form of Dolores Umbridge. Harry hadn't expected the separation to be so difficult - or for a certain mischievous redhead to make the waiting game they'd entered into so very excruciating. 

He might have lost his home in Hogwarts, but with Sirius and Remus around, Harry begins to learn that rebuilding a family isn't as hard as he'd anticipated.

Summary:

Harry Potter is a traumatized war veteran in a body that won’t die and a mind that won’t rest.

Jasper Hale is intrigued by this new student who looks so vulnerable but sends off such overwhelming waves of angst.

Everyone else is just concerned.

Set post Battle of Hogwarts, starting in the summer before Bella Swans junior year.

Summary:

"I can send you back. Not to your body, but to one many years ago. Harry, you must fix the natural order of Death, on my behalf."

Harry's breath faltered. It was all so confusing... Harry had died. He had died and spoken to Death and suddenly he was standing in Hogwarts, in 1942, and the Sorting Hat had just pronounced him Slytherin. Death had chuckled at that.

 Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd

Paganaidd

Summary:

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

Answer to the "New measures for screening abuse" challenge at Potions and Snitches.

The first chapter contains a character death and the whole story is quite dark. It begins at the beginning of Prisoner of Azkaban and is AU thereafter. Also note: this story is a "Snape is Harry's biological dad" story. This is not supposed to be the central theme of the story, but people have gotten annoyed that I didn't tell them at the beginning.

The Fourth Horseman

NinjaPandaScholar

Summary:

If anyone's due an identity crisis, it's Harry Potter...especially if he's not really a Potter...and possibly not able to die...yeah, it's been a rough few years...maybe life. Running from his problems and grief sounds like a great idea, becoming a hunter might be fun, too bad it just so happens to be the apocalypse. George is certain this is all just Harry's luck and along for the insane ride and the wonderful distraction. Dean and Sam Winchester are exceptionally confused about why two random Brits are following them around now, and why hasn't anyone seen a single omen for the Fourth Horseman of the apocalypse, Death?

The Medium Between Life and Death

 NinjaPandaScholar

Summary:

There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

All Hail the Dark Lord, Or Something Idiotic Like That

NinjaPandaScholar

Summary:

Harry Potter had a plan...it wasn't a very good plan, but at least it was simple.

Step 1: Don't die from the insanely difficult ritual

Step 2: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible before getting killed and/or arrested

As it goes, it was really simple...until it became clear he wasn't traveling back in time alone. Now the whole plan has to change.

Step 1: Don't die from the ritual

Step 2: Kill off current Dark Lord

Step 3: Establish following to become new Dark Lord

Step 4: Overthrow Ministry

Step 5: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible

Step 6: Keep boyfriend alive and not mad at him

It was a work in progress, but plans hadn't worked out well for Harry in the past regardless. Oh well, it's not like he could make things worse...

Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey

sobsicles

Summary:

When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems. 

Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options. 

Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.

Yes, I have daddy issues

Not just because my father was a scoundrel who cheated on my mother, divorced her when I was 4, tried to make my sister and I hate her, and did horrible things like burning photos of her in front of us, neglecting my younger sister and saying that he would only give me basic items, like sandals, in case my mother reported him.

But also due to the fact that the other male figure in my life was my grandfather, a disgusting old man who had always sexually harassed me, who traumatized me so much that I hated my own body, took showers wearing underwear and always watched the door, I developed an addiction severe porn addiction that I'm only now able to deal with, and has basically made it impossible for me to have any real trust in men and be able to start a relationship, while also making me completely dependent on their validation. I already wanted to kill myself for this.

And of course my family always knew everything, they themselves witnessed many of the things my grandfather did, but they never cared. Especially now that he's dead, he's seen as some sort of angel. My mother even told me that I was killing him, and that I should be ashamed of treating him badly, because he never did anything wrong.

That's why I unconditionally love Snape, that's why I unconditionally love Severitus.

Please Snape, be my father. Fill this void in my soul.

[rosieshipper]

So ahh…I did something

I rewatched all the Harry Potter movies and now it’s like I’m 10 and obsessed again

Sooo

This is Rosemary Potter, Harry’s twin sister. She’s sort of like a polar opposite to Harry, looking an awful lot like their mother while having their father’s eyes. She’s often referred as Mary Potter but she prefers the name Rose or her full name. She an aspiring animagus magic user and is one of a few witches or wizards that have multiple animagus forms. Thus her overuse of animagus magic has often left her with some animal like characteristics such as sharp teeth and pointed ears

She of course has a matching scar with Harry seeing as he who must not be named had been after the both of them seeing as the prophecy for them stated that two powerful wizards would be born at the end of July and he hunted their family down with the intent to kill them both, but as you know that failed. With their parents dead, they were picked up and shipped off to their aunt and uncle’s house where they were both treated poorly until they both turned 11 and attended their first year of Hogwarts

As for relationships and such, in my canon, Harry and Rose will both develop a familial bond with Professor Snape (Yes Snape is a father figure to me and I love the Severitus trope deal with it) As well as Remus and Sirius And later on down the line, Rose will develop feelings for someone yet to be determined

(Now on a serious note, all this aside, I want to make it very clear that I do not in any sort of way fashion or manner support JK Rowling and her atrocious behavior towards trans people, people of color, Jewish people and all the likes. I am separating the art from the artist and making the canon of my own. All this to say I am not diminishing the horrible things she’s said or done. And I will stand by that fact until the day I die)

Anywho with that out of the way I hope you all enjoy my future posts! This story means a lot to me seeing as it was the first real fandom I’ve ever been in and it means a whole lot to me

[solosolace]

Drarry? Severitus? Random tropes and canon?

Severitus- The Dursley are scared that harry might lose it again after what he did with Marge and no amount of convincing from Dumbledore is going to change their minds. So he gets Snape to take him in. He may or may not had no choice.

Drarry- Draco will get a redemption arc because he is still a git. The romance part wont be until the end of 4th year or 5th year. They will be friends first.

WolfStarPrince- I like this ship. Planning on making it a gradual thing because I refuse to Obliviate the hatred. Sirius lets Snape live in the Grimmauld Place because he's taking care of Harry. Remus is helping Sirius get better and is the referee. (Ideas are welcome)

Werewolf! Harry- Harry gets bit by Remus during the full moon, he's in denial. I always thought it was weird no one got hurt when Remus forgot his potion so I changed it so now Remus will never think to forget his potion not just because harry as to take some too but because he is consumed with guilt about what he did to him.

Veela! Draco- You can not tell me the Malfoys didn't have Veela in them. Abraxas Malfoy is half in my fic but married a full Veela. Most Malfoy are half or less, They don't like people to know because even though Veelas are valued and such they are still creatures and that ruins their Pure Blood image.

Werewolf! Draco- Voldys fault. Lucius was suspected a traitor (he wasn't but is now because really) so Voldemort got Greyback to bite Draco where the dark mark was going to be. This happens before 5th year starts and only happens because Lucius didn't realize Voldemort was lying. (Said he just wanted to see who his new followers would be) Now the Malfoys can hold onto their views because Lucius is a lot of thing but he isn't going to get rid of his son(I think)

Voldemort finds out Harry is a Horcrux- I want to make him go more insane. He still hates and want to kill Harry but now he's trying to find a way to do that without hurting his soul. Since no one has ever made a human Horcrux because he can't look for information on subject but he can test on himself. Cue nightmares and visions. And some very messed up Voldemort giving up and just trying to kill Harry soul and all.

Harry has trauma- I wanted harry to realize what the Dursley did was bad (Not fanon things like beatings and SA but the starvation and locking up, the isolation) that he's safe now even if he can't fully trust the adult around him. He steals food and hoards it, He'll hide in corners and small spaces but panic in other. Mostly I'm writing how I reacted when I left a my relatives place because I was treated very similar to how Harry was.

Now important things I will not add so when I post the fic you know its not there-

Bashing- I don't like some the stuff Dumbledore did but if I'm going to hate him its for stuff he did and the Weasley are family and I love them.

Lordships- I think its kind of pointless.

Odd wizard language not in the books- I cringe when I read them I will not write it. Ex. So mote it be, On my magic, etc, etc.

Soft! Snape- God help those who think Snape is a kind gentle soul, He will be a strict parental figure who shows care in a questionable fashion, not a Molly Weasley 2.0

[shostakobitchh]

For "anonymously message me (3) things you want to know about me":

1-How did you come to like the character Severus Snape, despite the bad opinions about him?

2-As a music teacher, what is the best instrument for a beginner to learn to play?

3-You're not going to kill Sirius, are you? 🥺 (Please, don’t do that, I NEED TO SEE HIM TORMENT SNAPE AND ALMOST END UP GETTING KILLED FOR IT AND REMUS GOING CRAZY WITH HIS STUPID BOYFRIEND AND ARIEL CRACKING UP LAUGHING AT HER CHAOTIC FAMILY!!!)

these are great questions, thanks nonnie!!!

1. I never really saw Snapey boy as a bad character? I mean, he’s a dick, but I remember pitying him and wishing things had gone differently for him. I wanted Snape and Harry to have a talk after the Battle of Hogwarts SO BAD. And then I went down the Snily hole and the unrequited love made me so emo so I buried myself in all the Severitus fics I could. So that’s when I really started loving him as a character. All the missed potential. 😭

I don’t think he deserves the amount of hate he gets. Yes, he made poor life choices and continued to make poor life choices (bullying children, being a dick to Harry) but he did the right thing in the end and sacrificed himself for the war. He was really bad at being a good guy but it’s wrong for people to deny that he was a hero. I mean, Regulus was just as bad but he was a hero too? But he gets all of the accolades that should’ve gone to Snape. Idk man.

2. It depends! I always recommend to start piano if anything, just to get started on the note reading and hand dexterity. There’s really no difference between violin, viola and cello, they’re all very accessible to a beginner. Bass would be the only one I’d pause at because it’s so big and the handful position and bow hold can be very difficult/heavy. But if I’d have to narrow it down, cello and violin are equitable! I can’t really attest to band instruments as much but the hardest part is the embouchure on the mouthpieces/buzzing. If you can get a sound, you’re good. And percussion you just need good rhythm.

3. Bahahaha I don’t know about him yet! No one is safe except for Ariel and Snape (and Ariel is like, a weird middle ground bc she DOES die but we all know it’s meant to happen). You will have PLENTY of Sirius driving Snape nuts and vice versa, Snape will only want to be a dad once he realizes Sirius intends to usurp him. 😂😂😂

[gywin97]

Engulfed by grief, he begs Harry for a way for them to be together again. It will take ancient elemental water magic to achieve that which he craves so desperately. But can Draco conquer his lifelong fear of the Black Lake and all that lies within her to do what needs to be done?

What does that mean for me, that not even Death wants me anymore. Yeah I call Death a cunt. Malfoy wants Death and Death doesn’t want me and we’re in a fucking love triangle like in the movies.

Hey, I don't know if you remember me but I'm the anon that send that severitus ask with alive Jilly and I have another au I cannot get over (be warned this may or may not become the blog I go to when I have a fic idea stuck in my head).

So I mentioned BWL Neville and possessed Harry (this is happening in that au). But imagine Harry accidentally becoming the "boy who lived". Like I'm going to do this in "narrated steps by Harry" aka the chapter names to a fic I cannot write because exams and college and shit.

The time I realised I was the butt of the joke and maybe the potions professor isn't that much of an asshole

I discover a weird mirror while escaping miserable death (Filch) and instead of my parents my aunt and my potions professor stand behind me with the rest of my dead family (??) from my mother's side and what I assume are my grandparents from my actual father who I heard rocked. What does any of this mean????

I accidentally discover a Cerberus and I became friends with it

Summer is here and I think my parents my might not be the best parents because they left me at my aunt and she treats me better and worse than my parents at the same time. She kinda reminds me of Snape

I accidentally hook up my aunt with my potions professor when he took me home after I tried to buy my school stuff alone and met with my mate Ron and his family and the blond kid in my year that got sorted in the house I was supposed to go to

School starts, I befriend this diary and I think I might be sleepwalking

I wake up in the schools weird basement with to hot guys- I mean Longbottom and my diary who is lord Voldemort(??) and Longbottom kills Tom and Tom's ashes come at me and now I can hear his voice in my head and feel his magic and blood and soul slipping deeper and deeper into mine. Should I tell madam Pomfrey (idk how to write her name)

Yes, Harry has a crush on Neville and yes, you did make me ship Snape and Petunia. Idk what happens to Vernon in this one

Ofc I remember you!!!

(Omg pls come to me every time!!)

OMG WAIT- ok

The plot thickens

“I accidentally hook up my aunt with my potions professor” *dies in Snetunia*

Harry acknowledging his parents aren’t the best 😩

[ficfinding]

#fic find

Hi, this one's been in my brain for years, and my memory of it is slowly degrading, so apologies pre-emptively for vagueries?

It's a harry potter fic, (possibly drarry because that's majority of what i used to read in this era of reading, but not sure), but while i know it followed him through the year, (going to classes etc) as the main focus of the story, my main memory is of the connection harry had with voldemort.

It definitely wasnt the main focus of the fic, but there was some sort of mental link between them so they could communicate, and voldemort would drop in to watch Harry's day to day life and chip in every now and then with snarky unhinged comments. Eventually, Harry learns to block him out, but not before becoming sort-of-frenemies? Like, "I'll still kill you, but I won't enjoy it because you make me laugh sometimes," vibes.

I remember it ending in a big battle at azkaban, after the island getting surrounded there by voldemort forces (dementors and maybe the ministry?) and Harry still had to kill voldemort, but while everyone's celebrating he feels so upset and sad because while voldemort was still really evil, he had been in his head and a companion for like a year.

Unconfirmed: Sirius lives? Drarry? Severitus? Ministry politics? Dementors? Potions class/detention with sev?

Sorry for formatting, I've never posted on tumbr before :/ I'm just pretty desperate at this point

[maledictusfotum]

the untethered need to write a severitus fic, to draw something severitus centric, to make more playlists...but lacking the motivation to actually do these things is very strong. what a strange existence

[mellarkandart]

Incredible how O Mine Enemy is everyone’s favorite. Truly the gold standard of Severitus fics. I first read it over a year ago and reread it last November, and here we are approaching yet another November and not a handful of days have gone by without OME crossing my mind. Let’s all give it sickening amounts of love and pray and hope for a sequel!!!

Literally! I don’t know if the author realizes just how massive of an impact their fic made on the community. A sequel would actually kill me 😩💜

okay, so I first got introduced to fanfiction through wattpad, and in that I think my first fic was Irresistible Poison by rhyssen (it's a drarry fic and OH MY GOD IS IT LIFECHANGING? YES.)

a9: Who was your first ship?

it was Ash Ketchum × Gary Oak from Pokémon lmaoo

b9: Who is your OTP?

HINNY and um, tomarry and drarry. Also, harry × tom × ginny <— that is my ultimate otp.

b10: What is the best plot twist you’ve ever seen?

everything we dream can be real by doshu

the entire fic. Just 🤌🏽 it just plucks up all your expected mundane tropes, and throws them out of the window. It builds a masterpiece. (fair warning: read the tags if planning on reading it.)

c1: What trope are you tired of reading? Why?

unrealistically overpowered harry.

alternatively, harry that is sooooo slytherin and dark that all his base characters are just whoosh, gone into the void.

Look, i love slytherin!harry. but going overboard to the point of completely altering his entire character to the point of no existing similarity other than his name- is not my cup of tea. Like yes, harry is powerful indeed, but to a level. Like some fics really be like: "Harry Potter could perform legilimency from 5 years old and killed the grindelwald with a non verbal wandless avada kedevra at age 11." I especially get this SOOO MUCH when searching for powerful!harry fics with tomarry or any other ships. Its like they wash out and weaken all the other powerful characters to put the spotlight on harry. You know whats more powerful? Harry struggling to survive with the other powerful characters against him but emerging out victorious with a crippling fight. That's our Harry. I love his original character, along with all his flaws and tragedies. A few tweaks are invited but soul-transformation? No.

Also while we're at it, the whole Hadrian Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Peverell thing. Like, please no. Maybe my opinions will change in future though, so who cares lmao.

Edit (i remembered this while answering c7): Shipping hermione with absolutely all Male characters in the entire fucking series. (It gets on my nerves.)

c3: Is there anything that makes you nope out of a story?

Yes actually. Loads of things.

1. Bad grammar 2. Above mentioned Harry irks. 3. Strictly bottom Harry, esp it's drarry. 4. Ginny bashing. 5. Severitus

c4: What thing that fandom loves do you actually kind of hate? Why?

Overly sexualising Draco, making him out to be the straight fuckboy. Dramione fics. (I'm sorry but that wizard is anything but straight.)

ALSO, Snape HERO worship and alternatively making him out to be the WORST GUY in the series. (He's a grey character. There's nothing more to him then grey. He's no hero. And he doesn't have the flair of a villain.)

c5: What character that fandom loves are you just kinda “meh” about? Why?

Mrs. Weasley. Snape. (Most people write them in extremities. I don't like extremities. )

(Kinda hermione and Luna, but if written well, I'd be absolutely invested.) I've yet to read more hermione and Luna centric fics honestly, so that's on me.

(I'm not gonna lie, in some fics I've read, they're really well written. Like, in No Glory by ObsidianPen (hermione), Wackspurts Aren't Real, But I Am by merrivale (luna), Hauntingly by ObsidianPen (snape). Mind you they are all side characters in all these fics.)

c6: Is there anything in canon that made you want to quit the show? What was it? Why did you hate it?

HARRY AND HERMIONE ROMANTIC TENSION. GIVING HERMIONE ALL THE SPOTLIGHT. MAKING RON AS THE ANNOYING ATTENTION SEEKING SPOILT COMEDIC RELIEF. CARDBOARDING GINNY.

does it even REQUIRE an explanation? it's pretty self explanatory, I think yes.

c7: Who is your NOTP?

Dramione, Snarry, anything involving Snape. (That man is not made for romance please, let him stick to flirting with claudrons.)

c8: What is one plot twist you wish people would stop using?

Hmmmmmmmm.... *thinking*

d10: What is one story idea you really want to read but no one has written yet?

1 Tom Riddle travelling to the future. TRAVELLING. NOT appearing out of the diary. Actual time travel.

2. Quidditch player Harry vs Quidditch player ginny. Friends to rivals to lovers. (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 ME WANTTTT)

The fact is: I want to scream because even if I have someone who read my stories and like them, no one of them really like Severus Snape. Even my best friend who fangirl with me says that "yeah you write good stories and good Snape but why he has to be Snape?".

So.

I am alone. And I'm screaming in the dark.

(Doesn't help that I write Snape in a rare rare rare pairing, and I mean I found only one fic in english about that that was good and well written and make me cry. Doesn't help also that I can only write in italian, sigh).

Tumblr is a great place for finding other Snape lovers and Snape headcanon but... And please don't hate me... Half of it are Snape gay headcanon and I can't see him this way. Half of it are Severitus headcanon that yeah, good in some way, but means nothing to me (I'm not a big fan of Severitus, I mean I read one once that was sooo good but not enought to push me down the rabbit hole). Half of it are Snape x reader headcanon/stories/answer on ask that... I just can't, maybe I am too old for this, I never grow up with "character x reader" fic, in my times there were self insert fic or mary sue fic or else but not like this, I can't bring me to like the format. And, in the end, half of it are Snape x carachters that means like nothing to me, and I can't see it never in million times (first that I can think of is Charity Burbage, wtf? Also ship what you want, but why you have to be so cruel with Severus? The second person that he loved killed in front of him? Please. Other ships I kind of see it but means nothing to me, like Severus x Lucius... Good, also Severus x James if you want. But others... Severus x Sirius or Severus x Remus big big nope). And yeah, I know, too many "half" in this.

The only ship I can somehow reale to, here on tumblr, is Snily. Sigh.

Sorry about the rant. Please ship what you wanted, I know it's "me" problem.

But I feel down sometimes because I feel alone in my own corner, sigh.

omg some of those are so fun!! 💚

11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

I have such a hard time killing my darlings 😭 I never want to. But I do it!! even though it’s hard! I did it not even like a week ago. There was a whole severitus plot line in build me no shrines that I was super attached to and I cut it, because it wasn’t working. I was crying the whole time and now I have a separate severitus fic that is in no way related. But yes I have a darling graveyard, usually they don’t stay dead long and get turned into new fic ideas

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

I mean, I’ve been doing creative writing forever it feels like. I wrote little short stories as a kid and drew really terrible comics. My mum got me this novel writing program that had a code for an online forum when I was around 12, and so I started writing a novel (I finished it too! I was 13 and it’s actually insane, the plot makes no sense, but like!! I did it, 45k of nonsense. my mum was so proud) but I joined the forum and it was a bunch of other kids all 12-17 who wanted to write books too. I kinda stopped for a while in high school and uni because I’d been told I couldn’t do anything with writing, that it was too hard to make a career out of it and I was better off doing something practical (haha jokes on them I went into art). Then in like… 2016? I had a brief little period where I wrote a couple Merlin fics, they didn’t do super well and I got a couple nasty comments that kinda put me off writing fanfic at all. Then in uhhhh August last year I got really into Harry Potter again after I broke off a toxic friendship with someone who said I couldn’t be queer and also like Harry Potter, so as a giant fuck you to them I joined the first HP discord server I found — which I kinda found my people right away and now I’m quite happily inhabiting my little corner of the internet and writing my stupid little stories.

22. How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

Okay I don’t think I’m crazy organised but then I’ve been told I am, so idk make your own calls. I’ve got 2 physical notebooks, one for my two long WIPs and I just kinda put a coloured sticky note in the pages whenever I switch the fic I’m writing for, and a second book for random ideas and notes and stuff that usually gets transferred to the appropriate document later. The idea notebook is very small and lives in my pocket in case I’m out and need to write an idea down. But I don’t really take a lot of physical notes. My docs and folders though are perfectly organised. Docs are put in folders with their fic (or in the case of one shots, a folder for that) or like my general writing folder if it’s a resource, but I have a naming system that I use for all my projects, based on what kind of file it is so they get tagged with like [OUTLINE] or [WIP] or whatever is relevant. There’s a colour coding system within the documents (so like as I’m writing, notes to myself are always blue, notes on a character are green, sections that need editing are highlighted in red, sections that I’m currently working on are orange… and a few other colour keys that I won’t bore you with) and then I have a spreadsheet I use to track wc goals and overall progress and stuff. I’ve thought about using that “make your own wiki” site that was shared with me a little while ago (or I’ve got a subscription to WorldAnvil for my D&D notes, so maybe that) to start organising my lore notes a bit better, but that’s a fairly large project and I might just stick to what’s working for me.
