How to Make a Style Sheet for Your Fic
A style sheet records the decisions you’ve made about your story so you don’t give Harry and Draco’s son black hair in chapter one and blond hair in chapter ten. Here’s how to create one for your fic.
Welcome to my blog.
Fair warning: There will be profanity. There will be unfounded opinions. There will be baby blood and puppy tears. There may or may not be cake. There will also be unforgiveable narcissism.
Britpickery for Americans: Random Stuff Whut I Have Got Wrong
To close out my very inexpert and incomplete series on Britpickery for Americans, I thought I’d share a few random things that have tripped me up and splattered me all over the pavement as a Yank in the Potterverse until they were (generally very politely) pointed out to me.
Fic & Art Recs: Year of the Thestral & Five Kinds of Love
Two new favorites added to my list recently. One, a searing portrait of an uncompromising Minerva McGonagall forced to make intolerable compromises; the second a series of pieces showing the joys and sorrows of one Severus Snape over his lifetime.
New Fic: Severus Snape and the Unbelievable Postwar Outcome
I wrote this for the 2024 Salt & Pepper Fest at HP_Goldenage.
Recs from HoggyWartyXmas + Bonus Art Rec
This year marks the final HoggywartyXmas fest, and a banner year it was.
It’s That Time of Year Again
The preparations and shopping are done, the friends and relations duly toasted (and gotten toasted) and chivvied off into the frigid December night (or not so frigid, if you live in ParadiseTM, as I do), and Mr Squib and I settled down with a cup of eggnog and an improving book.
The Best Xmas Party of the Year Is Coming, and You Can Be Part of It
Yes, I know it’s only September and most of you haven’t even had your first Pumpkin Spice Latte yet (I’ve already had two, but only because Mr. Squib presented them to me, and far be it from me to hurt his feelings by not drinking them), but Fest Season is nearly upon us, so it’s time for fandom folk to think about what they want to create this year.
Fic Recs from the Fabulous HP Beholder Fest
The HP Beholder (as in, beauty is in the eye of) Fest on InsaneJournal (mirrored on LiveJournal), for anyone unfamiliar with this fabulous entity, was created to showcase characters not considered “attractive” by the general population and give ’em a little lovin’.
Paapa Essiedu Will Make a Good Snape, and Other Musings on Harry Potter Casting
Casting rumors abound for the upcoming HBO reboot of the Harry Potter series. I’m weighing on the casting and the fan reactions to the rumors.
Pride Month Recs: Minerva/Rolanda
Minerva/Rolanda was my first “OTP” femslash pairing for Minerva (a misnomer, of course, because I have many “OTPs” for her), thanks largely to Kelly Chambliss’s fabulous “What a Lovely Way to Burn”.
Pride Month Recs: Augusta/Minerva
Augusta/Minerva is always fun because of the canon hints at backstory between these two very opinionated (ahem) and formidable ladies. Neville’s potential reaction to a relationship between them is a lovely bonus.
Pride Month Recs: Amelia/Minerva
In honor of Pride Month, I thought I’d do some recs based on my favorite femslashy pairing for my favorite witch.
New Fic: Cailleach
I wrote a Minerva/Sirius for the 2024 Rarepair Shorts Summer Wish List.
