My Job Is To Get Drunk At Family Functions And Judge People’s Bookshelves

when an author comments back, and I feel Fred from Cars

One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.

Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.

We're super excited to announce The Diagon Film Festival! 🎬

The fest is dedicated to AUs based upon some of our favourite films! Films of all genres, eras, and languages are welcome. 🎬 We hope you’ll join us!

This fest is open to ALL Harry Potter generations including Marauders, Golden Era, and Next Gen. All pairings are welcome!

Writers, artists, video editors, and betas are all welcome. We'd love it if you joined us! This is an 18+ only fest.

🎭 Creating

All ships from all generations are welcome (Marauders, Golden Era, and Next Gen). This is not a ship-specific or generation-specific fest.

There is a minimum word count of 1,000 words for all submitted fics. For podfics, the recorded story should be a minimum of 1,000 words. There is no maximum for either fics or podfics.

Multi-chapter fics are allowed, but you must finish the first chapter of the fic by the submission deadline.

Dead dove and NSFW are allowed, but all works must be tagged appropriately! In light of the various topics discussed and portrayed in film, please consider yourself, your fellow participants, and your readers when discussing any themes that may be sensitive for others. 

Collaborations are welcome!

A beta is not required for a fic to be submitted to the fest, though you're more than welcome to use an outside beta if you'd like (and there are other participants in the Discord server happy to help out).

There is a 1,000 word minimum for all submitted fics. There is no maximum.

All submissions are due on May 1, 2025, by 11:59 PM GMT. If you need an extension or to drop out, please let the fest mods know ASAP so we can adjust the posting schedules.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us an ask!

This is hauntingly pretty...

where do I get one?

Before you say yes, get him angry. See him scared, see him wanting, see him sick. Stress changes a person. Find out if he drinks and if he does, get him drunk - you’ll learn more about his sober thoughts. Discover his addictions. See if he puts you in front of them. You can’t change people, baby girl. If they are made one way, it doesn’t just wear off. If you hate how he acts when he’s out of it now, you’re going to hate it much worse eight years down the road. You might love him to bits but it doesn’t change that some people just don’t fit.

i don't want to see AI art and i don't want to read AI stories. you know what i do want? typos. you using the wrong word because it sounds just like the right one. plot holes. shaky lines. pencil sketch marks you forgot to erase. a scribble in the corner you didn't crop out. you know why i want them? because they're yours. your typos, your scribbles, your plot holes, your shaky lines. you know why i want them to be yours? because i'm in love with you. i'm holding your hand right now and our pinkies are wrapped around each another. you're pointing out all the ways you're flawed and i'm kissing your forehead anyway

Am I annoying? Yes

Do I give a fuck? Also yes I really am sorry about me all the time
