Newest & In Progress

pick up & start again || Oneshot. 8.9K Words. Rated T. || tumblr post For fifteen glorious months, Lily Evans has lived her life Potter-free, only to have him crashing right back into her life on her most important work assignment to date. How very like him.

in the latter days || 4/26 Chapters. 14K Words. Rated M. First War AU. || tumblr post || playlist In February of 1983, a cataclysmic shift occurred in the wizarding world, plunging it into chaos. Four years later, revelations shake the core of James Potterโ€™s new reality when, on a mission, he discovers another faction of the Order of the Phoenix โ€” and with them, the woman he thought heโ€™d lost forever.

In Search of Something More || 8/12 Chapters. 50K Words. Rated M. Regency AU. || tumblr post In the sunlit garden of her sisterโ€™s home, Lord Potter had promised Lily a life of her own design, with minimal expectationsโ€”her presence at community events, companionship, and an heir. As the two stumble into the routine of marriage and work to make a life together at Stinchcombe Hall, unsolicited feelings provoke each to start wondering if this is merely a marriageโ€ฆor if it could be something more.

S4E3. Crossovers, AU Rewrites and AI (Or, If You're Our Employers, Don't Listen To This)

Hello everyone! Our new episode is here!

In this episode, Jo (@pebblysand) and Blayne (@btelling) settle in for a more casual, catch-up style episode where we ramble about a few different fanfiction-related topics. We answer two great Tumblr questions from listeners - first up, fromย an anon who asked usย for advice about writing crossover fics. We share our takes on why crossovers are so tricky to write, how to make them work, and whether weโ€™d ever read (or write) them ourselves. Then, we dive into the world of canon divergence fics with a question from @anartiscticandautisticstararcher. We explain why they require careful thought to succeed and unpack some examples we love, sharing advice for writers looking to explore those "what if" scenarios in their own work. If you want to hear us go on for twenty minutes about how much we love @annerbhp's The Changeling, then tune in!ย 

Finally, we wrap up with a meaty discussion about AI and writing. We debate the ethical and practical uses of AI in the writing process, from research assistance to editing, and what its increasing presence might mean for writers and the creative industries at large. Spoiler alert: we donโ€™t always agree, but we hope to give you more food for thought!

This week, we mention:

Your recommendations for this week are:

  • Blayne:ย Dilly-dallying! Spend time with friends, get out of the house,ย in these troubled times.ย

you all have permission to yell at me if i don't write tomorrow

hey if anyone was planning on doing this i've written like 700 words so please don't <3

Hi! Long time fan, first time Asker (i think), if it's still ok ๐Ÿฆท& ๐Ÿฅ for the ask game :)

Hi there, thanks for playing- of course it's still okay!

๐Ÿฆท โ‡ข share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

If you're ever stressed/restless/anxious...just get up and move. Sure going outside is best, but I find if I just get up from wherever I'm sitting (normally where I'm sitting right now on the couch) and busy myself in another room, even with boring chores like dishes, it helps me expel some of that energy and get unstuck.

๐Ÿฅ โ‡ข name one internet reference that will always make you laughย 

Wow, for this there are probably too many to count.... but I referenced this video today at work (because I had to draw something and I am...not gifted in that aspect). My boss was unfamiliar so I'm so glad I got to educate her ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you again! :)

If you've ever wondered the best time to read a fic set at a Christmas market, it turns out to be April. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

A very-late gift exchange fic for the wonderful @kay-elle-cee. I hope you enjoy it, lovely!

James, on a break from his internship, is roped into helping run the Sleekeazy stall at the yearly magical Christmas market. Is it possible that it won't be as bad as he thinks it will be?

okay, B R E A K I N G N E W S (and to no one's surprise) this fic was just absolutely wonderful. Christmas fics should be year-round, that is my decree!

(and cer, we got a cold front so it's christmas weather again! convinced you're working with the universe for this release)
