protect james acaster at all costs
hey! i know this is weird coming from me because i’ve been MIA for a year and like — who even am i?? but i just want to address what i’m sure we’ve all been noticing on tumblr for a while now
and i’m sure this is happening in other fandoms too but i specifically only write for the harry potter fandom (literally just draco but that’s besides the point) so that’s what i want to talk about
anyways i’m sure by now we’ve all come to realize that hp fics on this app have hit an all time low
unless you’re writing a fic basically just about smut (and no shame to those that do that) your writing probably scores next to no notes and as a writer myself i know that you’re not supposed to do it for the notes but it’s honestly so demotivating to put so much effort into a piece of writing you’re super proud of and have it get no likes or reblogs because it’s not smut
tumblr isn’t what it used to be and so many people are leaving and as a singular blog it’s like well what the hell can i do about that?
but at the same time i know a lot of other people (and i’m hoping all of you) feel the exact same way as i do and i want to try and do something to bring old harry potter tumblr back
i’m not positive if everyone i tagged is even active anymore or still writes for harry potter… for those of you that have left the app or the fandom and do not wish to be included that is perfectly fine and i wish you well!! i also realize a few of the people i tagged are planning on leaving soon as well and if that’s still your choice afterwards that’s obviously okay too
for everyone else, i’m not even sure what we can do or where to start
i don’t want to tell writers “oh, from now on you can only write and post about angst” or “if a fic contains smut make sure you don’t interact with it” like that is absolutely not the message i’m trying to get across
but what i’m saying is maybe we can try and host an event where for a brief period writers of the harry potter fandom from when tumblr was at its peak (and of course newer and older ones as well) can come back all together and write to our hearts content with x reader angst and fluff to gain attention and traction for our favourite characters and try and make this fandom what it used to be
and obviously that may not be ideal because we all have our own lives and most of us are in school and have jobs so like when can we even do this?? but i for one thought christmas break was a good idea and saying that i recognize not everyone celebrates christmas but from what i know most schools still have a holiday break??
anyways it’s literally just a brain storm at the moment and this might flop and i’ll be embarrassed for a bit but if you read this far thank you for hearing me out
if anyone agrees and maybe wants to do something (it doesn’t have to be what i proposed at all) or has a better idea about how to do this please comment/like/reblog, send an ask, tag your moots, please get people interested and informed because i know i missed a million tags and i’m sorry for anyone i forgot

A lot of the substances we think of as protection against the supernatural (e.g. salt, silver, garlic) are actually antibacterial, and would have helped stave off infections and illnesses that people once attributed to supernatural influence.
Based on this, I want to see a story where vampires are repelled by hand sanitizer.

Growing up, Draco reads a lot about Harry Potter in the papers and at six years old, decides he’s going to marry him. When he announces his plans to his parents, Narcissa tries to explain that six year olds can’t get married and “buying” Harry Potter for Christmas just isn’t an option.
Lucius is only half listening, too absorbed in his reading and simply replies, ‘of course, darling. You can have as many Harry Potters as you want.’
this is so silly but ngl i am obsessed with raymond bc he looks like draco… so i had no choice but to draw this bc i firmly believe draco would be REALLY into a little kitty villager that looks like him
Draco: Alright, and what do we do if we see a trouble?
Everyone: We drag Harry in the opposite direction.
Draco: Good.
Harry: Hey!
