Other Examples:

Other examples:

-The Aeneid is fanfic of the Iliad and the Odyssey

-Romeo and Juliet is fanfic of Ovid

So, when I was doing my thesis on whether or not fanfiction should be considered a legitimate genre of literature, my advising professor asked me for examples.  I gave him the generic ones, of course - “Pride & Prejudice and Zombies” is a horror fanfic of “Pride & Prejudice”, “50 Shades of Grey” is an erotica fic of “Twilight" - and that seemed to make him understand what fanfiction is, but not how it’s useful.  So I thought about it, and, after about a minute, I said, “Paradise Lost is basically a fanfiction of the Book of Genesis.  And The Divine Comedy is an epic self-insertion fic for Catholic doctrine.  So, basically, you were teaching us fanfiction last semester.”  I had never before seen a grown man’s eyes widen with such fear, incomprehension, disgust, awe, and understanding.

Honestly the Hufflepuffs would probably leave their wifi unlocked intentionally so that if you were away from your tower you could use it.

Hogwarts WiFi Passwords

Let’s get real, it’s a school filled with wizards and controlled by wizarding adults. The Hogwarts Wifi password would be “password.” At best, it would be “hogwarts.”

But as for the individual houses…

Slytherin:

Network Name: The Dungeons

Password: 6FBb9w52 [changed monthly to protect from potential leaks]

Gryffindor:

Network Name: The Best House Ever

Password: Gryffindor1 [was “Gryffindor” for 6 years straight, but they changed it after too many unwelcome visitors]

Ravenclaw:

Network Name: Ravenclaw Tower Wifi

Password: fire [Prefects will only give the password in riddle form, it’s up to students to work out what the actual password is.The password is also changed frequently. In this case, the riddle is “Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. What am I?”]

Hufflepuff:

Network Name: PuffPuff

Password: Pass

Here, have some recommendations of Advanced Gay literature!

1. Fires of the Faithful/ Turning the Storm by Naomi Kritzer. This duet is mostly a fantasy novel; the protagonist is also lesbian. There are some religious themes, but the protagonist could probably best be described as agnostic-ish. You can find the first one on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Fires-Faithful-Naomi-Kritzer/dp/0553585177

2. Proxy by Alex London. I’m not sure if it quite qualifies as Advanced Gay literature, as homophobia still exists in that universe and negatively affects one of the two protagonists, who is gay. I’m granting it a spot on the list mostly because the main problems are not the result of homophobia. It’s on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Proxy-Alex-London/dp/014751133X

3. The Just City by Jo Walton. This book is about a group of people trying to set up Plato’s Republic. If you don’t like philosophy, you’ll probably find it boring, but if you do, especially Plato’s works, you might like it. Several characters are mentioned to be in relationships with people of the same gender. Although sexual attraction to anyone is discouraged, this isn’t applied any more harshly to the same-gender-attracted characters. I will warn you that there are a few rape scenes, so if that bothers you you should probably stay away. It’s on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Just-City-Thessaly-Jo-Walton/dp/0765332663

Those are just the first few to come to mind; if you want more recommendations message me.

tfw you pick up a Gay Novel TM at the library but upon reading it discover its all about being gay and how hard tm it is but you already graduated this level of beginners gay and youre mad bc you cant find Advanced Gay literature

Okay, I found a quote from an interview with Ian McKellen. “The actor who’s starred as Magneto in the X-Men films also said he signed on for the films after director Bryan Singer explained to him that the mutant superheroes serve as an allegory for the gay community.”

Reblog if you go to fictional characters for comfort.

Whether it be when you feel you don’t belong, when you feel upset, when you’re angry, when you’re going through a hard time or when you’re feeling empty. (Social Experiment: I want to see how many people do this)
