Who We Are In The Shadows By @quicksilvermaid

be careful you may slip—see i just told you!

I recently finished Never Mind the Bollocks by The_Sinking_Ship. Since that day, it has been living in my head rent-free, and will remain there. Perhaps for a long, long time.

Every time I try to collect my thoughts to articulate every single thing I loved about a fic, I just end up screaming and dying with the feels. So instead of words, here’s some drawn lines (and more screaming).

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example

entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.

Harry and Draco vie for Ginny's heart, but she knows where the sexual tension really lies.

I’m having a lot of buzzcut drarry thoughts today.

New drarry fic: on the cards

Hi friends, happy new year! I wrote a little fic that I’m excited to share. The biggest thank you to @wolfpants for being the best beta I could ask for, for your patience, and for sharing your wisdom, britpicking and generally being wonderful. You made this story so much better! And thank you to @crazybutgood for all the love and cheering and spag. You're the best! I love you both a normal amount. 🤍

Rating: Explicit WC: 6k Summary: "Destiny's Veil, where destinies unfold, this is Draco speaking. How may I guide you on your journey tonight?" "Er, hi… Draco. It's, um, Harry. Harry Potter." "What a pleasant surprise. How can Destiny's Veil illuminate your path tonight?" — Draco reads tarot cards on national television. Harry is obsessed.

A story of finding love and being brave about it.

How i feel a drarry proposal would go down 😂

Based of the proposal scene from bridget jones: the edge of reason

the scariest part about being a writer? pouring your heart and soul into this one fic that has taken literal months to piece together only to have this sick feeling in your stomach like it isn’t going to be a hit. not because it isn’t good, no, it’s worthy of a pulitzer, but just because readers won’t interact.

this is my message to my readers and all the readers out there: interact with your writer’s fics. someone can leave a seven word compliment along with a reblog on one of my stories and i’ll think about it for days. writers, good writers, have stopped writing because of the lack of feedback they get. nobody should get the amount of support to the point where they feel it’s worthless to do the thing they’re doing. 

readers. like. reblog. leave a comment.
