hey, for the fic ask game, I would love to hear more about your experience in fandoms, but I'm sticking with asks 3 and 44 for now.

Thank you for the ask, @fairsquare16! Ohh, happy to answer you re: fandoms if you would like to send more asks, but feel free to message me if you'd like to talk any time! If I haven't responded to a DM in more than a day, it's not you. Please send me another ask letting me know you DM'ed me (Tumblr messenger is really wonky for me).

3. Are there any fics that inspired you to write what you do?

YES. Absolutely. Probably all the stories I have read have in one way or another inspired me, whether it was through agreement or disagreement, in helping me realize my personal characterizations on top of canon.

Without question, @annerbhp's work inspired me to write what I do. The Changeling and the Armistice series have really helped me better understand Harry and Ginny in many ways, even though I have never written a Slytherin Ginny. Annerb has such a gift for going into themes, trauma, world-building (I have never thought about who gets to wield a wand before), and limited POV.

in my head we do everything right in particular inspired the way I write smut, with the thought to writing it for a reason rather than as simply smut for the sake of smut scenes. This kind of emotional / purposeful smut made writing Unravel Me so enjoyable even though it was my first time as a smut writer.

@gryffindormischief and @fightfortherightsofhouseelves both inspired me to write Muggle AUs! It was never something I had thought about until their wonderful works.

44. Rant about something writing related.

I'll write about why I'm more an alternate universe writer than a canon writer. I once saw someone say that canon writers are seen as less imaginative as AU writers, which had never been anything that occurred to me. If anything, I find the pressure of writing canon far too great, making sure it fits exactly with what exists in the books. Even with AU, I often spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about whether this makes sense or not in the constructs of this AU.

Basically, I am too much of a perfectionist and don't have the confidence that I'll get it just right. I tip my hat to canon writers who can write pieces that do not feel like a rewrite of canon, but really add such amazing insights and perspectives to these moments we miss and the characters we love.

I really do love the liberty with AUs, imagining the characters I love in all sorts of interesting scenarios. People have asked (Mr. Naru included) me why I don't just take those ideas and write original fiction. Some have said Harry Potter without magic isn't Harry Potter.

I get where people are coming from, but my goal with AUs/fanfiction isn't to have a publishable original story. It feels disingenuous to write a story based on another author's characters and then just change the names and say this is mine. These ideas are often inspired by a love of the original work and the characters, and part of fanfiction for me is to continue to indulge and enjoy this work with others, and it's such a delight when others enjoy the same characters with me.

Philosophically, it's interesting to consider whether Harry Potter without magic is the same character, but just like I don't think his trauma defines who he is, nor do I think him happening to be able to use a wand defines who he is. But that's just my opinion. And I've always been way more interested in the characters (Ron's humor, Hermione's loyalty, Harry's reckless bravery) than the magical world.

Wow, rambled a lot. If you stayed with me all the way through that, I'd be super curious about what you think!

Feel free to ask me more Fic Writer Ask Game!

[starlingflight]

Hi was wondering if you had a Hinny fic recommendation list?

Hello!

I made a canon compliant (mostly) list the other day that can be found here.

Here are some non-canon compliant Hinny fics I love and re-read often (note: most of these are on the older side, because I haven't been reading much lately):

take what I took and give it back to you - fairytiger: A soulmate AU one-shot that I adore and read over and over again.

cover your body with my autograph - @remedialpotions : multi-chapter Muggle AU. Ginny comes to visit Ron at uni for the weekend, and I relive my youth with a wonderful hinny fic

Kindle - @gryffindormischief & fightfortherightsofhouseelves: Another Muggle!AU that I adore and it has Jily!!

persist and resist the temptation - @nuatthebeach: I read this this afternoon after finding it on a different rec list, I haven't even had time to comment on it yet - It made me 10 minutes late to a work meeting because I couldn't put it down!

I was going to link to all these fics for you but AO3 appears to have just gone down, but they're all on AO3 so should be easily findable once it's up and running again!

[liiilyevans]

Hello! any tumblr that recommends fic hinny?

Hello friend!

There are a few people who come to mind when I think of Hinny, but this is absolutely not an exhaustive list. And everyone else feel free to reblog with your suggestions!

First, you should fall my bestie Becky, @harryissuchalittleshit. She's got some great Hinny fics, but also just a great collection of fics in general. She's created her own canon and all of her fics are connected. What she has done is really great and she's also an awesome writer! So, check her out.

@takearisk-ao3 has some hinny fics that are on my TBR, which is always chaotic and out of control. From what I've seen her fics are the bomb dot com.

@hinnyfied has a number of great hinny fics, and I would highly recommend her blog! She is literally just *chef's kiss*.

@gryffindormischief has some great hinny characterization. Like I swear her Harry is just spot on. I highly recommend you go read her fic tilted concession because it has the perfect hinny banter.

@four2andnew is also an amazing writing. She has an Edwardian era AU! How exciting is that?! It is also on my TBR, which as I mentioned previously is very chaotic. But also, just a really awesome writer in general and some peak hinny.

@brightlybound has some great fics featuring both hinny and romione! Also she is a beautiful human being and just a lovely tumblr to follow.

Those are the ones that come to my mind off the top of my head. But you should also follow @hinnymicrofic because there's a lot of hinny content shared there and it's a great way to find writers to follow.

I hope this helps and others feel free to add on your favorites as well!

Hello! I was thinking about you recently and realized your petalstofish account was gone, and I started to worry about you. Because that’s what I do. Maybe you said something about leaving your previous accounts and I missed it, that would be likely on my part. So I was thrilled when Dumbest Witch Alive showed up in my inbox and I found you here again! I hope you’re well!

Hi friend!! thank you so much for reaching out and for reading DWA!!!!I told @gryffindormischief last night that I genuinely threw up words onto paper and that’s the mess that came out lmao

Alsoooooo…I am so sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I had mentioned only a couple of times that I was dealing with some health issues, but I never went into full detail, so I’m sure it looked odd when I just disappeared. 2023 was really hard year, and I stepped away from all social media except for my instagram for quite some time…but I’m really really excited to be back here and feeling more like Petals again. I missed everyone, and even in the year or so away, I knew eventually I would come back. I just didn’t want anyone to worry if I told them what was going on, so I figured a cold cut was easiest ♥️

Short story:

I was very ill, but I’m feeling SO much better!

Long Story:

Essentially, I had just moved back to Florida after being gone for four years in Arizona. When my old doctor in Florida saw me, they decided that the plaquinil treatments that I have been taking for my chronic illness for the last few years in Arizona had not been working. They decided to put me on this drug called methotrexate. It was chemotherapy in pill form, low dose, and it’s commonly used for people who have rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. My genetics love me so I have both RA and Lupus. So they thought it was a perfect match for me. It’s rare for people to have a super bad reaction to it, usually just fatigue and hair loss, but of course I managed to have like the worst reaction of all.

Due to multiple side effects, I ended up bed bound within a few days of starting my daily doses. During this time I could barely sit up and eat a meal. My mental health was plummeting anytime I allowed myself to have my phone in bed. I knew I had to do something else, before I totally crashed off the deep end. I would go on and see all my friends at Taylor’s era tour, and I’d had to sell my tickets. I was missing birthdays, movies, long planned trips with friends. I was SO lost in a way I can’t even begin to describe.

Even though my wonderful parents moved me in with them and got me a second opinion, by the time the new doctor got me off of the methotrexate and onto a new drug, it took another few months for my body to complete expel it from my system. So I was down for the count from March to October.

Thankfully, I’m feeling SOOO much better now and have a wonderful doctor who listens to me and never tells me my feelings aren’t valid. Once I had a better grasp mentally and physically, and I felt okay enough to start writing and reading and reviewing again, I decided to return to social media. Im actually super excited because I start physical therapy this week, which is a huge step, and I no longer need to use FMLA every week at work. Yay!

ALSOOOO not wholly related but some bot stole PetalsToFish SO HERE I AM WITH A NEW NAME. THANKS BOTS🤪

Xoxo

If u read all the way thru this I owe you an ice cream sundae

Written for the 2023 Jily Valentine Gift Exchange hosted by @jilymicrofics, as a gift for @gryffindormischief!

James Potter is young, handsome, the proud owner of a coffee shop, and tragically - according to his mother - single. In an attempt to stop her from trying to set him up with her friends' daughters, he decides to go along with his best friend's plan and recruit his regular customer Lily Evans to play the part of his girlfriend during his mother's birthday party. Of course, the fact that he’s got a huge crush on her is entirely irrelevant…

@takearisk-ao3 tagged me to share seven lines from a current WIP then tag seven others! This is a continuation of my Muggle FWB AU.

"Why don’t we start small?” “Small,” Ginny says. The statement comes with an undercurrent of a question. “With a kiss,” Harry says, and God, he feels awkward and foolish and strangely enough like a pubescent teenager, feeling a strange swoop in his stomach the first time he realized Cho Chang was pretty. Not knowing what to do with his hands, he clenches and unclenches them on his lap. “We can work up to things, slowly.” “I’ve kissed guys before, Harry. We’ve already kissed,” she points out, her lips quirking up devilishly. “I’m well aware,” he says dryly. He doesn’t need the reminder; he’s had no issue remembering with all the ways that kiss has haunted his dreams, thank you very much. “I’ve done plenty of other things too, like—” “That’s—not the point,” Harry interrupts, not keen on hearing this a second time.

I'm sorry, but I honestly can't stand either Sebastian or Ominis. Sebastian in particular.

Especially after meeting his uncle and how he acts (how both of them act, but especially Sebastian.) Part of me wants to shake him for how he's acting.

How did you get into jily?

Hi anon, thanks for the ask : D

This turned into a rather long answer, but that's rather unsurprising since when I edit a chapter it seems to jump 3k, right? 😅 😂

How I Got Into Jily Reading

My journey into the world of Jily began, like many of you, in the captivating realm of Harry Potter fics (about a decade ago). My initial foray into Jily failed to capture me – I don't know if I was reading in the wrong space (I'm looking at you ffn.net) or if this was just popular at the time – but a lot of what I read fixated on James' persistent pursuit of Lily (often depicting harassment) and "missing moments" that revolved around teenagers (nothing inherently wrong with teenagers, I just found it difficult to relate).

So I ventured beyond the familiar pairings, exploring all sorts of HP characters before being drawn back into Jily during covid. It was then that I discovered authors (@ghostofbambifanfiction @bcdaily @theesteemedladydebourgh @missgryffin & fetchalgernon ) who wrote muggle au's and canon divergent fics that portrayed Lily and James in healthy, enthralling, adult relationships (or very mature teenagers!). The relationships and characters are all magnificent! These authors enveloped me in the warmth of their craft and anchored me in the Jily world. I am still obsessed with all of their writing and happily forsake whatever I'm dong to inhale their latest chapters : D

How I Got Into Jily Writing

I've jotted down a few fics over the years, but never published anything. I impulsively signed up for @jilymicrofics Valentine's Gift Exchange this year. I was a very passive part of fandom before this and had no tumblr account, no AO3 etc. I kind of just signed up to everything on a whim and then @charmsandtealeaves invited me to join all of these servers and suddenly I was in, people seemed to like my Valentine's Fic and in the throes of enthusiasm I committed to a micro a day for March. That month unlocked a flow of creative inspiration and I've been delighted that the writing has kept coming.

Becoming active in the Jily community has not only provided me with a plethora of new (to me) talented authors, but also allowed me to put names to stories that I read many years ago. I now have a vast TBR list and am eagerly looking forward to reading every single one of them : D

I'm going to share the authors on my TBR List so you can read their work too : D

I managed more reading than I thought this week. I also dropped the first chapter of my latest WIP. So a chunk of my free time has been spent editing.

*Read List does not include @jilymicrofics

Read This Week*:

A Love Unbegotten by Clueless anxious ghost of hayhay (I don’t know why it won’t let me tag) Complete (600), Ladies of HP, Molly/Bellatrix, Rated T

Molly steps up to fight Bellatrix, only to fall apart when all is done and dusted.

Tears of a Gryffindor by @nena-96 Complete (2k), Ladies of HP, Molly Weasley, Rated G

Molly Weasley believes she’s not worthy of being a Gryffindor after the battle of Hogwarts. She doesn’t want to cry, but even the strongest Gryffindor’s cry.

Let me make it up to you by @kay-elle-cee

Complete (3.4K), Order! Jily, Canon Compliant, Rated E

Two weeks ago, James left for a mission in the middle of the night without saying a word. Now he's is back, and Lily's not so quick to forgive.

Noctambulate by @gryffindormischief

Complete (4.5k), Jily Meet Cute, Rated T

Prompt: I somehow took the wrong backpack/suitcase from the (knight) bus, and even if this person seems to have a good taste in (books/music/clothes/embarrassing toiletries;-) , i need to find them to get my own stuff back.

Pillar of Pride by @sunshinemarauder

Complete (3.5k) Jily, mutual pining, Rated G

James Potter is proud. This, she knows. She knows his pride like the back of her hand. She knows it from flying classes and Transfiguration successes and Quidditch games and pompous hair-ruffling. James Potter masquerades behind a pillar of pride, and to witness those pillars crumble is a precious rarity.

I bend like a willow thinking of you by @thequibblah

Complete (7.4K), jily in multiple AUs, Rated T

She wanted to shake him by the shoulders, to ask him point-blank why this seemed to be the only bloody universe in which he couldn’t see how she felt about him—and the only one in which he felt nothing beyond friendship for her.

Added to the ever-expanding TBR List:

Quest for Camelot by @petalsinwoodvale

WIP, Jily Quest for Camelot AU, Rated T

All Lily has ever wanted is to be a knight, like her father, Sir Lionel. After Camelot is attacked and the magical sword Excalibur is stolen, she finds herself teaming up with James, a young blind hermit, as they embark on a quest to find the lost sword. Together, they face the threat of the evil Ruber, navigate challenges with a two-headed dragon and an ogre, and discover that they're more alike than they initially thought. Will they manage to return the sword to Arthur in time, or will they lose not only each other but also their dreams and the precious Excalibur? Based on the 1998 movie Quest for Camelot, but more plot and less singing

^ I wanna watch the film first before I read.

A little to the left by @turanga4

Complete (777), Ladies of HP, Molly Weasley, Rated T

When the Death Eaters leave them, the men re-set the wards. A possible explanation for how, exactly, Molly Weasley née Prewett went from no fighting whatsoever to, um, killing the strongest Dark witch in Britain within 30 seconds of her first joining the fray.

Lioness by @midnightstargazer

Complete (1.3k), Ladies of HP, Molly Weasley, Rated T

Everyone expected Molly Prewett to end up in Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat had other ideas.

We won but at what cost? By Lucigoo89

Complete (1.3k), Ladies of HP, Molly Weasley, Rated T

Molly looks at her empty table, a table that should have been full with all 7 of her children (8 with Harry) but now it's empty. She has lost Fred to death, but she had lost her other children to the ravages of grief. So she sits at her empty table as she thinks about what they lost and wonders if it was worth it. If her boy was the price worth paying for "peace."
