You can and should write fanfiction that isn't perfect. You can and should write whatever fanfiction you want. You can and should write fanfiction that brings you joy even if it's silly or goofy or weird.

Except for me. My fanfic has to be perfect and read like a novel and ruin at least one person's sleep schedule.

Hello! I just wanted to say how much I loved your fic Hey, Snapshooter. It was such an amazing read, and I keep thinking about it!

I was wondering if it’d be okay for me to bind it? I'm participating in a sports exchange and this will fit beautifully

Totally understand if you’re not comfortable with that, just thought I’d ask! Thanks again for sharing your writing with the world 💛

hiii i’m so glad you enjoyed reading 💕💕 yes of course you are more than welcome to bind it!! i would love to see pictures when you’re finished! 🤩🫶

in my beautiful world, sirius is the wife guy. and remus is his ultimate girlfailure, loser wife. they're obsessed with each other.

i’m currently writing a fic of my own, i loved yours and i was just wondering how you showed the texting. was there an app you used to show it?

hi omg i’m so glad i get to talk about this again ✨✨

the texting was part of a little custom work skin i made with a bit of code!! i talked ab it a little and linked the ao3 creators i learned it from here, they both have some super cool customization tutorials! i feel like the ones i used were called something about iOS messaging. but definitely give their works a browse and you might find other stuff you want to try in your fic too 💕💕💕

why do you think it is that sirius is very protective of his friends when it comes to regulus? can’t remember if it was stated in the fic. but like whenever one of his friends hang out with reg or anything he gets a bit annoyed

bc he’s the weird annoying little brother!!

their relationship was volatile at best growing up anyways so they’re most definitely not super close as young adults. there’s absolutely a level of care & concern between them because of the past they share & the way they both got out, but the annoying little brother is definitely not typically getting invited to fraternize with sirius’ friends

he does however have a fun little rapport with james in the fic that has been fun to write even though it started as a way to appease the jegulus stans. but we mustn’t make regulus too likable, he is and always will be the weird annoying little brother 🙂‍↕️

[tortoisebore]

I would love to see sirius telling james about how he told remus that he loves him please!! I loveee their friendship and i would love to see them being super gossipy and cute!! 😊😊😊

i feel like they were definitely dishing pretty immediately bc they talk so often 👯‍♂️ like they were most certainly texting that same night & it was probably like:

james at exactly 12:00am: Happy new year !!!!!!!!!!

sirius: happy new year!!

james: How’s Boston?? Is she still standing without me Tell her I’ll be back soon 🫶

sirius: she’s still here still cold as fuck she said she missed me more 🫶 

james: You laugh but that will genuinely make me cry 

sirius: dw she misses u lots did u guys go out

james: We did !!!  Found a rooftop bar without a cover to watch the park fireworks

sirius: gorgeous!!

james: Reg’s friends bailed last second so he tagged along They had a $10 champagne special!! So fun We should go next year!!

sirius: fucking excuse me don’t hang out with reg what the fuck betrayal </3

james: How’s Remus !!

sirius: extremely unsubtle  i hate u he’s great very stunning very sweet he loves me like actually this time it was a whole thing fucked me very beautifully  and now we are enjoying ice cream on his couch watching movies also he's coming to nyc for school next summer so i don't have to fuck off to colorado forever very successful day overall!!

james: Huh!!!!!! Pause!!!!!

sirius: pausing which part

james: You really said it??? Sirius 🥹

sirius: i did 🥹 so did he but i did it first!!

James: You did it first!!!!! I’m gonna cry

sirius: stop it  don’t 

james: It’s happening It’s so happening I’m so happy for you

sirius: be cool jamie come on it’s nbd just the most wonderful person on earth loves me just me being capable of loving him back without combusting every 30 seconds no big

james: There are tears streaming down my face How did you say it??

sirius: oh i blurted big time blurted while we were on a walk

james: Of course you did This is the happiest day of my life Lily’s concerned about the emotion of it all so this has to stop now I can’t think about it anymore or we’ll have to go home But I’ll call tomorrow for the whole story don’t worry!!!

sirius: of course ❤️ i love u ❤️ happy new year ❤️ don’t call before noon

james: Well I’m not an idiot Love you ❤️ Tell Remus too Happy new year ❤️

and then:

lily: Happy New Year!! Please tell me why my boyfriend is crying

sirius: he’s fine don’t worry happy new year ❤️

Hey so idk if you want to answer this and that's fine! But since you have talked about living in the south I was wondering where you were from? I'm from Georgia and I feel like I don't see a lot of people online talking positively about living in the south so I was just wondering if it was different where you were from <3

hi hi! i don't live there anymore, but i'm originally from arkansas <3 ((also omg i lived like an hour outside atlanta for a couple of years as a kid!!))

the south is complicated & gets a lot of flack but those of us that actually live in these places know how complex & unique & beautiful they can be. even tho i won't ever live there again, i love arkansas deeply & i love going back to visit family when i can. some places are most definitely better and safer than others but the south as a whole is not the lost cause a lot of people like to say it is <3
