Hello! Wishing you an amazing 2025! I was re-reading Noticing for the thousanth time and was curious what you had planned for the last two chapter titles to be?? My personal guess has always been heart for the 11th and I'm curious what they could possibly be. Would love to hear ur thoughts ❤️❤️

Oh my goodness… thank you so much for still reading my work! It makes me so happy that someone still wants an update, all these years later!

You are absolutely correct that Hearts was intended as a chapter name. However, I’ve since decided to consolidate the last two chapters into just one, so if it’s ever written, it will just be Hearts :)

In terms of my ongoing plans to finish it, I actually gave birth to spontaneous TWINS (!!!) in June 2024. Having 4 children, aged 6 and below, is quite an adventure 😅. I do plan to finish at some point, but admittedly I’m more focused on an original novel at the moment.

Thank you so much for asking, it means a lot ❤️

2025 Trope Reveal!

It's time for another Romione Trope Fest!!

We will begin accepting submissions on February 1st, and reveals will begin on March 1st!

This year, we are doing reveals a bit differently. Rather than posting two fics per day, we will post ALL the fics of a specific trope each day. Reveals will last one week only, and no waiting around -- prepare to be bombarded by tropey goodness.

All fics must be submitted directly to Tumblr by following this link. We also have an unrevealed Ao3 collection that you're welcome post in, but all Ao3 posts will be hidden until their Tumblr release date.

Visit our FAQs for more information!

Okay friends, let's get creating! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Your Mods,

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

Friendly reminder that almost half of the states in the U.S. have same day registration! This means you can go to the polling center for your location, register there, and cast your vote same day. So if you are over 18, are a U.S. citizen, and live in one of the states listed below, it is not too late to register and vote! I’m going to put notes for some of the states where voting is extra important due to the political climate of the state.

California

Colorado

Connecticut

D.C.

Hawaii

Idaho

Illinois

Iowa - recent polls indicate state could flip from red to blue

Maine

Maryland

Michigan

Minnesota

Montana

Nevada

New Hampshire

New Mexico

New York

North Carolina - swing state! Could go red or blue

North Dakota - voter registration not required

Utah

Vermont

Virginia

Washington

Wisconsin - swing state! Could go red or blue

Wyoming

You can go here for more info on voter registration

I also have a huge list of voting resources here

harry potter who:

survived the Killing and the Cruciatus Curse

was treated like a punching bag by Dudley for 10+ years

periodically felt blinding pain in his scar/head

broke his wrist

got bitten by a basilisk

nearly got his soul sucked out

fell 50ft through the air

fought a dragon

nearly drowned

was possessed

got his nose stamped on and broken

compared seeing ginny weasley kissing dean thomas to feeling like he’d been struck by lightning
