Do y’all think Bellatrix was involved in the torture of Andromeda and Ted Tonks after the ministry fell in the summer of 1997??

There is so much more life to live when you stop constantly obsessing over who will think you're a bad person or not understand you

I am learning this in the tiniest bites but it pierces me deeply

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

something we agreed we like about uncle vernon is that despite like, personally suffering at the hands of wizards pretty significantly (dudley’s tail, marge), vernon is like, always ready to fuck with wizards? like he is SO SCARED of them but he’s always ready to fight? please take this moment to imagine uncle vernon meeting voldemort

I could use some humor in my life today - do you mind recommending some of your funnier fics? And/or any fics you find funny? Thank you!

Of course anon- I hope these cheer you up.

My fics

Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Health and Safety Inspection

Snippet:Although touted as the “safest place in Great Britain”, the school has been subject to several break-ins. Unwanted guests have included a knife-wielding mass murderer and a mountain Troll.

Sirius Black and the Goblet of Freud

Snippet: Nobody could afford Hermès on a PA salary unless it was the type of Hermès sold out the back of someone’s van. 

Sirius Black's guide to using an extraordinarily intelligent cat to order a broom.

Snippet:I have just noticed quite how much this is sounding like your novels and would like it known that I am no cat shagger and that this tale will not have an unexpected turn.

Other fics

@leogichidaa's Psychoanalysis Sunday's series

So now Regulus is sat on a cream chaise lounge, staring at the ceiling, across from Dr. Boring, with the PhD in Stupid Questions. “Do you often find yourself in competition for your mother’s affection?”

@lanaturnergetup stolen glances, stolen cauldrons

“What’s in the sack?” Rosmerta said. She recognised the differences in her own tone: cutting, on edge, as opposed to flirtatious or anything close to banter.

“Well – there were these cauldrons, see,” Mundungus said. “I nicked them off Warty Harris – but really, he stole them from old Sid first, so I–”

@ghost-of-bambi Calling Dr Prongs

"This is nurse Padfoot speaking. What's your problem, Desperate in Divination?"

@saintsenara Inhuman Resources

MM: Well, let me tell you, she’s a total bitch. But, actually, I reckon they won't go for her. I dunno, she's just... a bit too prissy to be Death Eater material. If you ask me, at least.

@celestemagnoliathewriter Dave the unwanted Gryfindor

It started with his name, three days into the term. James and Sirius thought it would be funny to call him Dave, instead of Dionysius. No matter how many times he told them his name, the boys never called him anything but Dave.

Book 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

[sybill-the-seer]

“‘Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!’ Like my dad.” Snape made a small, disparaging noise. James turned on him. “Got a problem with that?” “No,” said Snape, though his slight sneer said otherwise. “If you’d rather be brawny than brainy – ” “Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?” interjected Sirius.

Sirius, James and Severus in The Deathly Hallows.

“Think my name’s funny, do you? No need to ask who you are. My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford.” He turned back to Harry. “You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.” He held out his hand to shake Harry’s, but Harry didn’t take it. “I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks,” he said coolly.

Harry, Ron and Draco in The Philosopher's Stone.

The parallels between Harry and Sirius are both beautiful and heartbreaking. As are the differences.

Prompt One: Tugging Sleeves

Good Morning Beautiful Creatures! 

So I will be posting all the Asked for prompts on Archive of Our Own 

First Prompt Summary: 

Ron struggles with what to do when he realizes that there can only be terrible reasons for why Harry isn’t responding to his letters. Little does he know that Ron’s distress is just as worrying for his family.

I know we are all sick and tired of looking for stories that center around Ron and don’t bash him so I figured that this would be a good way to get this going. 

Weasley Is Our King Tag is officially a NO RON BASHING look for. From now on, if you guys have a story based around Ron or one that does not bash his character, I highly recommend putting #Weasley Is Our King in the tags so that we Ron lovers know that its a safe zone.

This is Prompt #1

#writergirl101 I would love a fanfic that shows Ron before he went off to rescue Harry from the Dursley’s. How worried he was when he wouldn’t answer and how he convinced Fred and George to steal the car.

Here’s the link to the first prompt:
