Just so you know, your fic got me craving so bad to tune in to the Sonorous radio station. I mean the hosts are so nice and the MUSIC™. I don't know, this idea is so good, I wish Sonorous was real. This is like the most specific thing ever, but I guess my question to you is if you have any recommendations to podcasts or radio stations that give off the Sonorous vibes?

PLEASE I just thought of how nice it would be to listen to this one specific radio station while driving, again, nice hosts, rock n roll oldies, even magical bands that I'm VERY curios about, and then I got so disappointed when I remembered it's actually fictional.

aw this is so sweet! exactly the feeling the characters are having right now while sonorus is on hiatus hahaha. unfortunately nothing comes to mind in terms of the vibe because i don’t really listen to the radio anymore and the show isn’t actually inspired by anything specific (except that it’s somewhat meant to evoke potterwatch hah). and i curate all the fic’s music myself so there isn’t anything else to rely on really…

sorry not to have better news 🥲 but this is so touching, i’m glad you were so struck by a totally invented element of the world !

open to being yelled at for a bad take

impactful line from wherever !!

She casts the first curse, and closes her eyes against that green light.

hey queen what’s one Beatles song that gives 54 vibes thx

there are two Beatles songs on the playlist atm (which could change, I think I made it before I outlined) but the one that actually sums up the vibes is (cheating) the love mashup of drive my car / the word / what you’re doing (because there are some varied vibes and energies)

[thequibblah]

any chance of a snippettt? 🥺

ok because im feeling indulgent, i will let you choose between a non-impactful line from the immediate next chapter (as i haven't written anything impactful yet), OR an impactful line from a random future chapter that will confuse everyone

Hello, hi. So YEARS ago high school bestie and I read a fic, it was a whole experience (life and times, it's amazing, it ruined our lives) and it was sadly never completed. Heartbreak, tears, the lot. Fast forward and I'm home on break when same friend and I get to talking, remember that fic, lament our woes etc and she's like I have another fic I'm obsessed with, and I am sceptical because shit isn't completed... I trust her so here we are, I read come together in 4 days, it is god tier. I beg you don't destroy me, this fic being seen through to the end will be so healing. You're amazing, I'm obsessed!!!

omg!!! i blush!!!! you're too kind <3 thank you sm for reading and thank your friend for me too!!

if it makes you feel any better i think i'm more likely to finish it now that i've mapped out chapters that *have* to happen (i.e. events i know need to take place and will likely be in different chapters). in case you're curious it comes out to 72 chapters, so thats what itll be at minimum i think...because things are always more likely to expand than compress where im concerned lol. but anyway i do want to finish it! if only to be FREE OF IT!

(also you literally do not need to tell ME about that exact experience of reading tlat...i was there...i was you and your high school bestie...)

What about 28?

28. What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

oohhhh. i'm not prone to writing angst honestly, probably because i dont really gravitate towards it as a reader. i suppose tell me where your secrets lie turned out quite angsty, but i don't know if the idea is inherently angsty. there are a couple of ideas i've had where i've debated whether or not they should die at the end, so those are probably up there...but i won't be writing them until i figure out if they die! i have one idea where lily tells james not to propose to her, which in context is less random and more angsty than it sounds LOL. and another where i debated if they should marry other people............

but i think in general i reach a solid "yearning" on the angst scale which is really not that bad all things considered.

9. How did you get into writing fanfiction?

Please <3

9. How did you get into writing fanfiction?

an excellent question...that i actually don't remember the answer to. i wrote a lot of what i later realised was inkheart fanfiction in notebooks as a kid (lol) so like i've had the impulse for a long time. and then just combine that with having access to the internet and seeing other people do it? i probably started writing it pretty soon after i started reading it, so really right when i got on tumblr at 13/14??? i recognise that's not a "how" but there isn't really a "how" at all!

[thequibblah]

I really cannot wait for lily to meet James' family as his girlfriend like I just know it's gonna be so good (and I also can't wait for james to meet petunia and vernon - though for very different reasons hihi) !!

I just caught up on ct like yesterday and I love it so so much so many compliments go you <33

haha thank you so much for reading!! i am excited for that to happen too—i have part of a lily and euphemia scene that is absolutely unhinged and might not actually make it in there, if it doesn’t i’ll share w the class lol

[thequibblah]

do you have like an idea of a time in your life by when you'd wanna be done with ct?

God honestly I’d hoped to be done by now so I’ve learned not to have those kinds of expectations for myself

[thequibblah]
