Summary:

Scorpius faces his deadliest foe yet… common kitchen appliances.

You don't understand how often he sits there while I edit.....

No the real reason that Sirius didn't go insane when he was in Azkaban is because he and barty just constantly talked shit about people who they hated from Hogwarts, and it was probably a little like this

Sirius: Barty

Sirius: hey Barty do you remember Corban and Maria from school

Barty: yeah

Sirius: well I read in the prophet that they are getting a divorce because he cheated on her with her cousin

Barty: no!

Sirius: yes!

@rewritingcanon brother I literally did though 😭😭 I printed the first draft out last night so I can edit it physically over the next few days and she's THICC

I know I promised weekly updates on Scorpius Malfoy vs. The World but I got EXTREMELY distracted by a passion project last week (I wrote 90k in 10 days like holy shit). BUT now that the first draft of that is done I'm going to shift focus for a few days to get the next chapter of SMvTW out and get back on my weekly update schedule!

I just saw a Tik Tok that said writers on AO3 are not looking for constructive criticism in their reviews. I have no audience on this platform so I have to know if this is true? I've always left my pros and cons when reading a fic and now I'm concerned that the authors didn't like that.

Yeah writers are Not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Unless they specifically ask for it, it’s considered rude and honestly a bit hurtful. In the least bitchy way possible, don’t do that. It’s unwanted.

Reminder that remus isn't morally grey bc he's a werewolf. If anything the werewolf is morally neutral. Remus has no control over his condition, and animals have no concept of morals.

He is morally grey bc he's human.

He isn't just a coward, he works hard at being one and makes escaping responsibility a top priority, he lies unprompted and he bullies people for his own entertainment. He's not friends with Sirius and James bc he's a coward and they abuse this, he is their friend bc he's a feral little motherfucker.

Casually writing a self reflective fic about asexuality and I got to the line I've been dying to write:

[gryffindorkus]

I ended up capping at 22k with 65 pages, which beats my previous record ,of 13k, for most fic written in one sitting.

Honestly I wanted to write more but it was 6am and I had to at least get a bit of sleep before work.

I'm at work now and all I want to do is be writing

me: do not get distracted by side projects that you'll never post

also me, in one sitting:

[gryffindorkus]
