Rant About Fanfiction Writing

Two pair of brothers, 1978

Scorpius and Albus caught on their first date to Hogsmeade

March 2023

So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.

Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.

not to be bitter but why is any amount of coding in media accepted for every orientation but aromanticism

ex. a character’s dialogue hints that they’re bi, the whole fandom accepts it with no arguments

but a character blatantly says they “love everyone in the same way” by which they mean platonic love? they never show a sign of being romatically interested in anyone? they are clearly confused at the idea of romantic love? everyone ignores it and ships them anyway

I really feel like Television should enter an era of allowing happy endings. That’s not to say characters can’t suffer along the way or that storylines can’t be “dark” but I would really like to see stories end on hopeful notes. I’m so sick of every story having tragic endings, especially considering the world we live in right now. Call me naive, I don’t care, but hope breeds hope. Love breeds love. Happiness breeds happiness. Allowing our characters to overcome and find the light in the end is powerful. Allowing characters to be happy is brave because happiness is not boring. I feel like we’re surrounded by dark stories in fiction and in reality and I find myself wondering where’s the hope and happiness.. is no one overcoming the darkness?

Thank you @alessiajontrunfio for blessing our hearts again

I’ve re-read the prisoner of Azkban for the 5421665423578 time and every time Is like the first. I decided to make a comic about this part of chapter 12 (The Patronus) because with a few phrases I really feel Harry and Remus sadness an the emotion about the loss of James (and Lily as well). I can’t image how difficult it must have been for Remus not to be able to tell Harry everything. So, here it is a full-of-feels mini comic! Sorry, i’m getting emotional lately!

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

((OOC: So I took a Sequential Illustration class this semester and we had to do 4 pages of a comic. So I chose to do a comic of the Hogwarts Founders surprise surprise. I used the Sorting Hat song from Order of the Phoenix as the narration. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! :) ))
