Day 8

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

The teachers were of course forbidden from mentioning the interview by Educational Decree Number Twenty-six, but they found ways to express their feelings about it all the same. Professor Sprout awarded Gryffindor twenty points when Harry passed her a watering can; a beaming Professor Flitwick pressed a box of squeaking sugar mice on him at the end of Charms, said, 'Shh!' and hurried away; and Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister for Magic and have twelve children.
From Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Idk, I just really love this part. It's such a dark book in so many ways, with all of Harry's issues - everything he's going through, so this just felt like a little island of light and happiness and it made me smile.


Day 9

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Oh, I don't know!! I haven't created that much the last year......

Okay, so I'll go for these:

This one of Harry I made at the end of last year. I just really like how it turned out.

This Ginny/Luna piece I made last summer, because Linny, also pride and London and I like the mood of it.

And lastly this James/Sirius piece I made for last year's kinkfest. (I also just realised I'd never replied to the comments on it #fail I'll have to do that.)


Day 10
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most.

Oh, there are many things I really love, but maybe one of the things that resonates emotionally with me the most is a character's realisation/struggle/acceptance with their sexuality, their discovery of what that means and how good it feels to find out who they are, and coming out scenarios. When those are done in good ways, there's hardly anything that tugs on my heartstrings as much as that, and I really love when authors explore that. Especially subverting or challenging norms and figuring out who they are on their own terms.
