In other news, I’ve decided to give Substack a try. I don’t know what I’m doing, at all, but the plan is to have fun and share more of my writing it bits and pieces. You’re welcome to follow along. mhbirkelund.substack.com/p/welcome-on...

go.bsky.app/NFEzeGe Sharing these again

It's been a while since I shared the dhr writers list for the last time! It's an easy way to find our people here 😊 (If someone is not on the list and wants to be, please let me know) go.bsky.app/Kwv92Bm

When world-building in a quasi-original fantasy novel, the temptation to rename common things by uncommon names will be far too great, so one must continually ask oneself, “Am I trying to make fetch happen?”, and should one find they are indeed trying to make fetch happen, they must simply stop.

A rage-baiting bored Theo and a pining Draco Malfoy. Whatever could go wrong 😂 Sucker for you is free to read on Ao3. #dracomalfoy #hermionegranger #dramione #ao3 #dramionefanfiction

I love you Hudson, I love you Connor, but @tryquinnapp.bsky.social can get fucked for repeatedly using fanfic screenshots to promote their paid content bro

Captain Wentworth knowing that Anne Elliot is tired on their walk and insisting that she be taken home in the carriage even when she would never ask for it and then helping her into the carriage…. That scene walked so the 2005 P&P hand scenes could fly

I adore this one. Well done, @greenflowerpot.bsky.social !!!

And your dad is what boring? Is that where you get your boring from? ILYA

I need EITHER MoaM Draco or Lukas Blomqvist biblically. I will take either one 🙏🏾

“Shut the fuck up, you beautiful, brilliant genius” is how you respond every time your future wife says something remotely modest or self critical (aka be more like Lukas Blomqvist)

Next chapter is up! archiveofourown.org/works/572320...

Watching The Sound of Music w my kids for the first time in a long time and goddamn the subtext is subtexting and the romantic tension is romantic tensioning good lordt.

How is alchemised simultaneous so bleak and so horny what is WRONG with me?????????

Hermione pulled back and snorted. “You’re too old-fashioned.” “I’m a pureblood, darling.” He raised an eyebrow, his smile curling to the side. “What were you expecting?” She had to hold back the urge to roll her eyes Chapter 12 is up! Only one left archiveofourown.org/works/62073727 #dramione

My favorite one-shot ever And the artttttttttt!!!! 😍

If you run an independent romance bookstore and you haven’t ready any of your own books and you don’t know any of the books or authors I’m asking about, you are not a bookstore, you are a merch store with books that’s capitalizing on a current trend. I wanted to love you SO BADLY and now THIS 😩

#wipwednesday #dramionewip #dramionefanfic Next chapter is called “The Book of Theo” archiveofourown.org/works/572320...

Not even new. Fanfic is ancient and it's well past time everyone realized that basic fact and stopped trying to pretend that stories based on other stories only popped up recently

They're upset because fanfic authors were supposed to stay in their basements, on their laptops, and be ashamed of their accomplishments. A tradpub author who sold 500 copies of their 1k print run was higher on the totem pole than a fic author with 100k unique readers. That was the deal.

Because at the end of the day they're not *really* upset about the objective quality of P2P. They're not *really* upset about potential IP infringement. They're not *really* upset about the content being fashy or patriarchal or whatever the Discourse(TM) of the day is.

The “slop” is in bookstores. I have read a thousand two-to-three star trad pubs. Well-regarded Dramione fanfic NEVER MISSES. Not everyone can be a full-time writer but everyone can be a storyteller, it is just innate in humans to tell stories.

“Malfoy?” Her voice hadn’t changed in three years. “Granger,” Draco repeated, swallowing down the knot in his throat. “Are you real?” A line formed between her brow. “Why wouldn’t I be real?” Chapter 2 of The Haunted Library is up! #dramione archiveofourown.org/works/72889766

It’s happening for Pacific Rimbaud, who deserves the world and more!!!!! (Go grab your copy of Love and Other Historical Accidents if you haven’t yet. It’s still there for now!!!) archiveofourown.org/works/214965...

But with this Ben solo concept/story, has anyone even mentioned a role for Rey? Like I truly can’t care about SW anymore but let’s not get overexcited if Ben’s story goes on without the woman who saved him. Reverse Anidala or what?
