š how do you feel about comments/ feedback? Or whats kind of comment would make you happy?
ooh this is a fun one. i LOVE getting comments and positive feedback!! ao3 comments truly make my day, whether theyāre short or long, as do excited replies/reblogs on here.
constructive/negative feedback i donāt enjoy unsolicited, which i think is true for most people haha, but when itās coming from beta readers, friends iāve asked etc im usually alright with handling it. depends on how personal the writing is and stuff though! sometimes itās hard!
probably the kinds of comments that mean the most to me are ones from people who are disabled, or trans, or asexual, and relate to the representation i write in my fics. the rep is authentic to my own experience but itās really comforting to hear that other people from the community also feel that itās authentic, plus itās nice to know iām not alone when sharing certain things. like with brtc, i was super nervous about the trans rep because that remus doesnāt really align with a more common or normalized trans experience. he does align with mine, though, so itās really lovely to hear from other trans people who also relate to that. i also get super excited when people point out little details or specific lines they enjoyed and stuff like that, but truly i get unbelievably excited at every single comment
Oooh. Pain au please š
ooh yes i was a bit nervous about this one.
this is very much still in the planning stages, iāve written a little 150 word snippet but the rest is just brainstorming. basically the premise is remus has a fantasy version of fibromyalgia/tactile allodynia and anyone he touches experiences that pain too. iāve done a lot of Thinking about this oneāmapping my own pain onto remus, aligning his backstory in the fic with his canon backstoryāand i am definitely going to write it. iām not 100% sure if it will ever see the light of day though. itās by far the most personal thing iāve ever even considered writing, drawing really heavily from my own experience of those illnesses, so iāll have to wait and see if i feel alright with sharing it publicly.
(and yes it will have wolfstar too haha itās just a lot less fluffy than my others)
it is that dreaded time where i must title my next fic why is this so hard!!!!! accepting any and all advice pls
If you consume fanfic on ao3 and are 18+ and American I need you to lock in and call your senators saying you oppose a federal porn ban. This would effectively ban ao3 and being queer in public, among many other things, due to the intentionally vague language of the bill. Iām counting on queer tumblr and fandom tumblr to help me get the word out that you have to call your senators

@madefortherain thanks for the tag love!
hereās a bit of lotf ch 4! getting a bit more into remusās disability this chapter (:
Itās a bit embarrassing how well she knows him and his flare-ups by nowāthe kind of knowledge that only comes from seeing him at his lowest time and time again, helping him through it time and time again. But stronger than the shame is the warm glow of being loved, the reminder of how many times heās crashed serving equally as a reminder that sheās stayed every single time. That through the passing phases of boyfriends and girlfriends and platonic friends, Lily is the one person who has never left his side.

*grabby hands* WOLFSTARBUCKS CAFE AU!!
ok thereās really not much else to say on this one, sooo snippet!!
i am absolutely not writing this one in chronological order so they are already together in this snippet but it is a getting together fic, they start out as strangers and everything.
also this is almost entirely unedited.
Remus attempts to pick up where he left off like everything is normal. Because it is. A minor accident, thatās all it was. Standard. Run-of-the-mill. Accidents happen.
His boyfriends seem to disagree.
Theyāre both standing from their stools, and James is already reaching out to take his hand. Their fingertips brush, and he yanks his own back as if the touch is what burned him.
āMoony, baby, come on, let me see,ā James says softly.
āIām fine! I need to finish your drinks,ā he replies, a bit snappier than he intended. Heās justā¦embarrassed. And stressed.
i promise theyāre happy heās just being dramatic šš
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on
Donāt get me wrong, I love the whole snarky and sarcastic Remus lupin, but I feel like the marauders fandom has forgotten his most important trait: his kindness.
He was one of the kindest people harry had ever known, and he was probably the kindest teacher at Hogwarts.
I love sarcastic Remus, but he can be sarcastic and kind
Me when my condition flares.
