is it wrong that i still like harry potter but not like the source material or the author at all? i like the fanon harry potter where diversity thrives, and characters are fleshed out? 
like i don’t like the original source materal at all anymore i just wanna take the characters and the basic story and make a whole new story without r*wling’s influence?

Wait! You're the one who wrote A Solution More Beautiful? That fic consumed my existence for the entirety of 2019, and I'd forgotten why I'd followed you on tumblr. And these days I have to pretend I wasn't a HP mega fan. Your Harry Potter world building was next level. Straight up my middle name is James because I'm such a big marauders fan. Like dude, how could I forget about the Puzzle-verse. 🦌
OMG, yes, thank you! Yeah it's been tough, because I want to continue the sequel to that fic (I have it all planned out to defeat Voldemort and everything!), but with the game and the implications that even writing HP fic is a Bad Person thing to do, I've put it on hiatus for a little while. I in no way want to support JKR, but I feel like taking her characters and doing things with them she'd hate (Sirius/Elodie/Remus is canon now! They get married in the most recent chapter!) is a resistance all its own!
That is so awesome about your middle name, hell fucking yes. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I absolutely loveeeeee writing on that story. It was my heart and soul that year, for sure. The sequel is up to 100k almost and probably will end up being as long as Solution by the time I finish with the final battle. I'm planning to bring in other countries and the battle to defeat Voldemort is a whole wizarding world endeavor thanks to Remus's contacts at the paper.
Thank you a million times! I feel like the characters and worlds we pour our love into are always worthy of that, despite the associations with their creators--just like some of us have to pull away from and disassociate from our own parents.
For anyone curious, this is talking about my rewrite of the HP books from book 4 onward, with the 'fan in the world' trope. It's an 'adults in love' story that pairs Elodie Merriman with Remus and Sirius, and explores first her reticence to make big changes, and then her acceptance that love changes the world in large and small ways. Romance, slow burn, humor, angst, canon divergence, and a ton of character study.
A SOLUTION MORE BEAUTIFUL and INSPIRES US TO GREATER POETRY

notes for when i rewrite the entirety of harry potter. note: many of these are inspired by my favorite headcanons and fan arts, this is a rewrite for the people.
harry is gay and poc
harry does not become an auror, he has a music career
harry is 100% a skater boy with a group of punk muggle friends. he’s acab and anarchy all the way
his friends include a pan genderfluid, an asexual transboy, and a latina nb.
harry is rebellious because the dursley’s were so strict- he 100% dyes his hair abright color with walmart hair dye
draco has internalized homophobia but ends up with harry after his arc
hermione is a black trans lesbian and has the ultimate bromance with ron
hermione is single by the end of the book but it is implied that she and the lesbian in harry’s band get together
luna is an nb lesbian, 100% the type to wear the magical equivalent of lesbian earrings
ron starts off ignorant and lowkey homophobic but learns to be accepting and strives to educate others about accepting stuff (and also that he’s asexual ahem)
harry and ron go to the yule ball as bros
ginny is bi and starts off crushing on harry but ends up with luna
ginnys hair gets progressively shorter as the series goes on
the dursley’s are homophobic but dudly learns to be accepting despite that
werewolf’s are not actually bad and do not join wizard h*tler. fenrir greyback accidentally infected lupin and feels bad for it
wolf star canon
dumbledor’s morally grey nature is acknowledged and explored
house elves are paid, because fuck slavery. they are underpaid though, and hermione advocates a livable wage. she is not treated like a maniac for this.
goblins aren’t portrayed as greedy assholes, because why the fuck not.
hijab mcgonnagal? hijab mcgonnagal. (i haven’t researched this enough to make actual points, sorry >-<)
hagrid isn’t stupid, because he deserves better
voldemort is hot, because a) we shouldn’t villanise ugliness and b) charisma gets more people to join
adding religious and racial trauma! when voldemort says purebloods he means straight white christian purebloods!
harry is good at math, scarily good.
harry smuggles pens and pencils into school to write with. fred and george start a black market for them.
harry’s dad 100% dated at least one dude
no snape redemption arc, also umbridge fucking dies
sirius is a chaotic good, a better person than in the original books, and doesn’t die (wolf star reunion!)
less of harry jumping into conclusions and more of him just going with things because everything just gets weirder and weirder and there’s nothing he can do about it
ron is a hella good strategist and negotiator
dumbledores will is fixed. i don’t know how but it is.
dumbeldore isn’t gay, his sexuality is not discussed because he is an old man, that is in the past, and his morality is much more interesting.
harry isn’t a twink.
