good call on not rubbing dramione! there's also the matter of publishing anything based on JKR's IP after everything she's done of late. See: the controversy around A Rose in Chains (also based on dramione fanfic) and especially the queer and trans people coming out against it.

it's just based on my own personal, complicated feelings around fandom and exchanging money, to be honest.

[one-equaltemper]

just wanted to say i adore your writing. you are so incredibly talented. 🩷

thank you so much!! that's so kind of you to say :)

Would you ever turn be my baby into an original book? I would definitely read it!

i really appreciate that but my short answer is no.

long answer:

i wrote be my baby to be part of the fandom. it's dramione that i imagine when i write it. i would never charge anyone to read the story when it's been up for free because, again, it's part of the fandom! i'm happy with it like that.

it's for all of you as much as it's for me because we love these characters, so it doesn't feel right to me to change it around and make money off of it.

i would obviously love to write something original and get it out there and daddy kink/ddlg is one of my favourite things to write so it could always be present in something different.

thanks for the question :)

Hi Tali!

I’ve read Be My Baby so many times that I’ve started dreaming about it… which makes me wonder… could you give us any spoilers about what awaits our favorite couple?

Thank you for sharing your writing with us. I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds a lot of comfort in your work ❤️

thank you so much for reading and enjoying it!!!

i'm really hopeful to get the next chapter up in the next week or so and i can tell you that it's going to be about hermione's university graduation and the first time draco meets her parents!

even though it's starting its wind down, there's still a few big surprises left!

Be My Baby is about to get me through nursing school and I’m being so serious rn. I need Dr. Draco to praise ME for striving to be a healthcare professional and doing something so scary 😭😭😭💗

aw congratulations!!! that's amazing and I'm sure, if dr. draco was real beyond my imagination, he would 100% praise you. thanks so much for reading and enjoying :)

[one-equaltemper]

I’m a multi-shipper but dramione is becoming one of my favorites. Thank you for opening my eyes 🤩

aw i'm so glad! i am also a multishipper but dramione just hits sometimes.

Edging toward the shadowy meeting spot between a collection of stocky buildings, Draco clears his throat and leans against one of the brick walls. or: a secret relationship. a clandestine meeting under the cover of darkness.

Hey! I absolutely love your work! I’ve been a long time reader and lurker in the community, idk if this is the right place to ask or if you’d know anything at all, but do you know if there is any updates about Skully/Siriusmione? :(

hi there, unfortunately skully passed away in december after her battle with cancer.

Hello Tali! Love your writings and how you managed to make the characters in your stories seems so natural. I mainly read your dramione fics at the moment and absolutely adore them.

One of my favourite is the 'Innocent/Purity' series. The Draco in these is just so interesting, I wanted Hermione to run and stay at the same time. And even though he is questionable, I can't help but like the bastard lol. And 'The Weather Outside Is Frightful' is definitely a great reread around this time of the year.

Do you prefer to write more of the sweet Draco (like from BMB) or the more morally grey one? And are there any other fics of yours where I can find similar morally grey/questionable Draco?

Thank you so much for these stories, by the way, I feel so lucky to came across them! <3

thank you so much!!! i really appreciate it :)

writing innocence/purity was my first go at a morally grey character and i really enjoyed it. so often in writing i find that we try to pile all the amazing characteristics together and give them to the main characters, so it was fun to explore someone so obviously flawed.

my darklina fics all feature a morally grey aleksander/the darkling, in keeping with his canon character.

in terms of dramione, the closest thing would probably be bad for you, which doesn't necessarily feature a morally grey draco, but a draco who is scarily aware of all of his flaws.

[one-equaltemper]

Hi. You seem like a nice person, which is why I find it very confusing (and harmful) that you perpetuate "daddy kink" in your Fics. Your story "Be My Baby" is quite popular and teaching a lot of people that a "daddy kink" is fine when it's not. Why don't you see that your story is harmful? This is not a "kink" it's a trauma response and you're leading people to think that it is normal.

ewwwwwww

BE MY BABY IS SO GOOD! i’ve binged it so many times. i know you’ve said before you’re going to portray many different forms that kind of relationship could take, but do you think there ever will be a spanking scene in be my baby? also, do you have any dramione recs to share?

thank you so much!!!!

there probably won’t be any spanking, not seriously anyway and definitely not as a punishment. i’ve written spankings in a number of my other stories (coming undone - sirmione, my sweetest friend - darklina) but really wanted to show that spanking is not a requirement in kink relationships.

i’m afraid my dramione recs are lacking. i find it really hard to write about a ship that i’m reading about. i do have other fic recs here, though.

[one-equaltemper]

Will we ever see Draco caring for Hermione whilst she’s on her period in BMB? This is in no way pressure for you to write this/me asking you to, I just think about this scenario a lot, and I think it would be sweet with their dynamic!

I mean never say never. It's not currently something I have outlined but it's not an impossibility either!

I do have this one (intimately familiar) that's about Hermione on her period but it's not a BMB vibe at all.

[one-equaltemper]

Is be my baby abandoned?

nope

[one-equaltemper]

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

i feel like i'm really bad at giving advice and i've written and rewritten something here like 20 times now. the best i can do is:

do what works for you. fuck everyone else.

in the nicest way, of course. but what i mean by that is everyone is going to have a different style and a different process. try out different ones, by all means, but don't force yourself to stick to something that doesn't fit.

i cannot force myself to sit in front of my computer and write. it just does not work for me, so i don't. i know a lot of writers who have a lot of success with making themselves start, and having it flow from there. i'm very dependant on the mood of my muse who is a very fickle being and never does what i want her to.

i write when i have the desire. i write when the words feel like they're bursting from my fingertips, like my mind is overrun with daydreams and scenarios. for me, that works. but for a long time i felt like a terrible writer because i wasn't 'trying hard enough'.

fool around with different processes, try different things, but at the end of the day do what works for you and don't feel bad about it.

How did you make your Tumblr with the pink font? (desktop)

oh it's just a theme i found, here.

[one-equaltemper]

Any other DDLG/daddy vibe fics you recommend? I loved all your fic recs but can’t get into the trad pub. :)

Not a ton to choose from and I don't read a lot of fic anymore so I'm not up to date with any new ones, but here are three of my favourites:

Little Lotte by MlleBree (Phantom of the Opera & a wip but totally worth it)

Sinning and Healing by femmeheart (Hermione/Bill, HP)

Milk and Honey by Babeblox (Darklina, Shadow and Bone)
