Some of The Marauders fandom is pissing me off, I want to clear something up. stay with me for this ok? Severus Snape's worst memory in the books is NOT James bulling him! Yes their is bulling in the memory, James and Sirius use impedimenta and scourgify on Snape. I'll give it to you 15 year old boys suck but multiple people in the series said it was mutual. Lily comes over and tries to help Snape. James taunts her. Snape then uses what we know to be sectumsempra on him. Then Snape goes in the air. Lily then again defends Snape, James drops him Sirius hexes him. Lily tells James to take the curse off, he does. Then James says "you're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus-" AND THIS IS THE ACTUAL WORST MEMORY he responds with this exact quote "I don't need help from a filthy Mudblood like her!". Snape's worst memory isn't James bulling him it is him losing Lily! It's the moment he lost her.

fic writer tag game

@to-proudly-go thank u for the tag pal <3<3 (I very definitely love your poetic angst & your art)

How many works do you have on ao3?

25 :) 15 for hp and 10 for star wars

What's your ao3 word count?

144,107!

What fandoms do you write for?

hp and star wars, though I've definitely brought the marauders fandom habits (delusional obsession w main character's dad and his best friends) straight to the prequels

What are your top five fics by kudos?

"trust" the inscription said (hp/wolfstar)

then he came home (hp/wolfstar)

don't let's die as heroes (hp/jegulily)

the prophecies spoke of you and I (sw/obikin) (which is also my most recent work, so it's crazy to me that it's up here)

slipped back in (hp/wolfstar)

Do you respond to comments?

I always do eventually!! even if it's the smallest comment I like to send a smiley face in reply. It's just that I might take forever coming up with what to say, especially for the super nice ones ;3;

What's the fic you write with the happiest ending?

hmm I'd say don't let's die as heroes for the marauders (literally turns 3 canonical funerals into a wedding) and Designation for obikin. & I usually write happy endings (minus canon fics) even if they're more "the future is uncertain but bright" rather than happily ever afters

Do you get hate on fics?

none so far! & they better not because if I do get hate I will cry

Do you write smut? What kind?

listen. listen. this is a whole Thing. as your neighbourhood ace, smut is like science fiction/horror to me. which is to say I have written both mlm and wlw sex scenes lol. it happens very rarely, but it has happened before & will happen again.

Do you write cross-overs?

I hope you know that I'm constantly thinking about how sirius/remus and anakin/obi-wan are homomorphic creatures and I really want them to meet. but also, so far, no. except if you count the wolfstar sw au sitting in the docs.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not afaik!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

not afaik either!

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I don't think so, but I would absolutely love to try

What's your all time favourite ship?

wolfstar and obikin are the same ship actually, so both. (unserious)

What's your WIP you like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I read back on What You Will earlier today and scared myself so possibly that. (it's a jegulily parody of Shakespeare's twelfth night, and has already been rewritten from scratch twice, so maybe mayyybe there's a sign)

What are your writing strengths?

errrrr. occasionally poetic-ish description? I like writing pretty vibes. and occasionally punchy-feely stuff. where you stand above & survey a life through tiny poignant snippets far apart. quite a few of my fics are like that

What are your writing weaknesses?

so many. definitely more than I'm aware of too. I feel I'm awful at pacing & easily get bogged down in tiny details, which is why long fics have not worked out for me lol. It's also hard for characters to feel real to me, like I'd just stop in the middle of a story and think "my darling I do not understand you at all"

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I definitely love when I see them, but I've not tried it myself. it feels impossible to merge Mandarin and English in a way that feels natural (or write it down in English characters), even though come to think of it I do it with my brother all the time. huh.

First fandom you wrote for?

drarry! and I still wanna go back sometimes

Favourite fic you've ever written?

awh but I always like them better before they're words on the screen/on ao3. ideas are just pure vibes and potential yk? rather than a dozen annoying imperfections you're not good enough to fix. lol sorry, if I have to pick, Once Upon a Green Haze. it's unfinished & only has 3 chapters for now, but I like them.

I've seen this going around the dash for a while now, so open tag :)

"#also marauders fandom maybe write a wlw fic for once in your life?" write it yourself?? there's a bunch of wlw fics in ao3 but if they're not enough you should put your energy where your mouth is. or your money. commission someone.

I'm not part of this fandom anymore, I'm a comics blog. But that doesn't mean I don't see how the Marauders fandom treats female characters. Y'all (the fandom) will ship two Death Eaters that had one line about them in the movie before you write a long fic centering the girls. Like the comparison between wlw and mlm fics! Marlene/Dorcas is from what I see the most popular wlw paring has 234 centered fics (fics where they are the only paring). Regulus/James is not even the top mlm paring in the fandom has 1,210 centered fics. Remus/Sirius has 16,662 centered fics. The most popular wlw paring doesn't even break 300 centered fics! (Obviously because no one tags things right and the fandom doesn't have it's own tag this isn't a exact but still it gives you an idea I put in the same criteria for each ship and I never claimed to be a scientist [go on the ship put otp:true in the search within results box] but you can see the difference)
