Something that bears mentioning: I get why we need to shame straight girls who fetishize mlm ships but. To any straight girls who consistently relate to or resonate with mlm dynamics on a deep level or see themselves in queer male characters. if by any chance this post from a tiny tiny blog crosses your dash. Please take this moment to very privately consider the possibility that you might not be straight. Or a girl.

Its honestly so painful when the creator of something you love so deeply, rejects your very identity. It hurts. I don't blame anyone for wanting to leave the fandom at all. I keep hearing people say "if you hate j.Karen Rowling just leave the fandom" (okay, they probably don't call her that but i do 🙃) and if people want to, I get it completely. But I don't want to. Harry Potter is something that is a part of me now. It is a part of me as much as having been bullied as a child is, as much as reading to escape the real world is, as much as being queer is. It helped to shape me and I don't want someone else's hate and fear to take away something that I love. That happens enough in the real world and I don't want it in fandom. I reject that.

I've spent hours in thrift shops looking for merch (because I never buy new things if I can help it. This works out even better for me now.) I've devoted so much time to writing fic in this world and appreciating other fan creators and their works. I've got a huge tattoo on my arm showing my love of Harry Potter, a love I shared with the artist who created it. Without this fandom, I would never have met most of my closest friends. This is a big part of my life. It's something that's brought me a lot of joy and a lot of goodness, in spite of its problematic aspects.

If there's one thing I've learned from taking literature classes, its that you can be critical of a work and of its author and still enjoy it. Making that criticism, analyzing the text and the author's life and motives, can be part of the enjoyment. With literary analysis, you're free to take the pieces that have meaning to you and toss out the rest. You're free to connect dots within the story to create your own full picture. And if those dots include criticism of the author, that's OK. And if they don't include the author at all, that's fine, too. That's where I'm at right now.

Another thing that I think about with literature is that it doesn't hold much meaning for me personally unless I can put myself in it, unless I can move in and live there for a while.

Lord of the Rings is basically a story about people walking around the countryside until you feel like you're one of those people, wishing you could just stay with Tom Bombadil and ignore the rest of the world, wishing the ents would maybe be just a little bit hasty. The Stand is any dystopia until you're stuck in a tunnel heading out of NYC, hoping to get to Colorado. Or Vegas, depending on your inclinations. Hell, Ramona Quimby is any random kid until you're sitting in the lunch room with her as she smashes a raw egg on her head.

Harry Potter is just another story about magic and a child hero until you're stepping onto Diagon Alley with Hagrid, until you're brewing a potion in the dungeons and praying that Snape doesn't hate it too much, until you're kicking off on the Quidditch pitch and hoping your House wins. That kind of enjoyment doesn't come from the author at all. Their words have something to do with it, for sure, but it has more to do with our own imagination; it happens inside our heads.

And if there's one thing I learned from Harry Potter, it's that even if something is happening in your head, why on earth should that mean it isn't real?

I guess my point is that I enjoy Harry Potter by analyzing it, by being critical of the text and the author. (And I am critical of her. I hope that she gets some help for the irrational fear that she's propagating, but I don't think she will. She's not there yet, at the very least.) And perhaps more importantly, I enjoy Harry Potter by being a part of it, in a myriad of ways. By being there with Harry throughout the story, by writing about Snape, by looking at the incredible art that people create of the characters I love so much, by discussing it all with other fans. And that kind of enjoyment has nothing to do with she-who-must-not-be-named at all. It belongs to me and to the people I share fandom interactions with. That kind of enjoyment is ours alone.

Yes, she is toxic. And yes, she has hurt me. She's hurt people that I love and people that I don't know who have my love and support, nonetheless. But I don't need her. I reject her. That's not me being a snowflake or whatever you want to call me. That's just me holding on to something that is important to me. Her books, the wizarding world, would be nothing but paper and ink without the fans loving it and making it real, sharing it with our friends and building it in our imaginations. So this is me, this is us, taking our love and our imagination, taking our analyses, taking the pieces that have meaning to us, and tossing out the rest. This is us moving in and living there, free from hate, in the world we've become invested in.

And to the people who say "find another book to read"... I have. I've found a lot of them. But I like this one and I want to keep it. I divorced Anne Rice a long time ago for her treatment of fans, but I still love Lestat and Louis and Armand and Stella and Julian... This isn't new to me. It looks like ima do it again.

H/D Food Fair 2022 Prompting on the 5th of June!

Prompting Guide

For this year’s Fair we’d love for you to come up with prompts, write stories, create artworks and read podfics that feature:

any food of any kind – muggle or wizarding e.g. spotted dick, bouillabaisse, chocolate frogs, Japanese or Greek cuisine

any food-related occupation - e.g. baker, food taster, professional food forager

any food-related tropes - e.g. coffee shop AU, restaurant rivals, chef competition

But with an added twist! You must also include a travel element!

any food that originated outside of Britain (e.g. Indian cuisine, Sushi chef!Draco)

any setting outside of Britain (e.g. Michelin Inspector!Draco inspecting Harry’s restaurant in Budapest)

This means that your entries must feature food as the key component and travel as a secondary component!

On 5th June, the prompting submission form and display table will go live on LJ, DW, Tumblr and AO3 collection profile.

The form covers the following:

Food Theme: Include a type of food or food-related occupation/trope Travel Theme: Include a non-British food or setting outside of Britain Scenario: Give a scenario/setting/story inspiration Era: Hogwarts Era, Post-Hogwarts, EWE, Epilogue-compliant or AU, or if that is left up to the creator Optional Additions: List no more than three items/concepts/words to include in the fanwork Maximum Rating: G to NC-17, or if that is left up to the creator

Rules and Guidelines:

You may submit ONE TO FIVE prompts a day.

Please submit each prompt separately through the prompting form.

To self-prompt, please submit your prompt during prompting period and claim your own prompt later.

Anyone can submit prompts. You don’t have to be a Fair participant to be eligible for prompting.

If you’ve made a mistake in your prompt submission, you may send an email to fanfairmod@gmail.com to fix it.

Prompts will be automatically displayed (see sample at the following link).

This isn’t a gift fest; creators are not obligated to gift the work to the prompter, unless they choose to do so.

We only ask that creators are heavily inspired by the prompt; creators must not deviate from the food and travel themes listed but may adjust the prompt scenario as necessary.

A claiming form will be released later!

For more information on the Fair, please read our collection profile.

Claiming is now open for QQQ's From Under The Invisibility Cloak: A Coming Out Fest!
