Hey fanfiction writers: If no one's ever told you this before, it's not just fanfiction.
It's something you spent hours, days, maybe even months on, pouring your heart out onto a page because you were so full of passion and thoughts about a story or characters, you felt like you were going to explode if you didn't get it out. Maybe you lost sleep because your mind was racing with ideas or you forgot to eat or drink water because you were so focused. Maybe your back aches from being hunched over for so long, unmoving. Maybe you even felt like you were going a little feral because you were so excited about what you were creating, or were frustrated when you got stuck. Either way, you put your heart, mind, soul, and body into making something.
It's okay to want people to read it, and it's okay if you're disappointed that they don't or it doesn't get as much of a reaction as you were hoping for. Humans are social creatures. Sure, we write for ourselves, but we also share because the joy of doing so is just as powerful as the joy of the process. Of having created something.
We all experience that joy and that disappointment, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
So it's okay. It's not just fanfiction.

Shout-out to multilingual writers who are writing in their second (or third and so on) language.
The frustration of speaking it fluently, but still having to google basic words when you're writing.
The absolute joy of finding a word that sounds just perfect and conveys exactly what you mean.
Doubting all your grammar and being afraid to post it or even send it to a beta reader.
The euphoria of someone calling your use of this language, that is not your mother tongue, beautiful.

For the fanfic trope mash up
No. 50: Arranged Marriage and No. 61: Love Confession
Of course for Hinny
I unabashedly ask for fluff
I need fluff in my life...particularly Hinny fluff
Dear Anon,
Please hear me out on this one. Since I answered that first ask for arranged marriage trope I have been working on an arranged marriage AU and I am now already 10 000 words in... so if you have some (or a lot, I don't know when I'll start posting this) patience, you are getting that in a neatly wrapped multichap fic
I don't know yet if this fic will have an actual love confession, because I'm working more on showing their love in different ways, but I may put one eventually if I have a fun idea for it

Chapter 37: Kick
The football game ended with their favourite team losing. Harry stood up and grabbed his laptop so they could look for baby names. He put it in his lap and looked at Ginny.
“Do you have any ideas?” she started.
“Not exactly,” he said. He started a file so he could type names they liked, or really did not like. “We have tons of names ending with a ‘Y’ like our names and our mums’. I thought that could be nice.”
Ginny nodded. “We can definitely consider that.”
“In that case, good candidates are Macy, Lucy, Ivy—” He started typing as he named them.
“No,” Ginny cut him off at Ivy.
“Why not?” he asked as he looked up.
“She’s got a very decent chance at coming out with red hair. You have heard of Poison Ivy, right?”
He nodded. “So no Ivy.” He moved it to the ‘no’ list.
Full chapter: AO3/FFN

In vino veritas
And Second love for Hinny
-Dobnny Anon
WAIT WAIT WHAT'S THE DOBNNY ANON DOING IN MY INBOX. @takearisk-ao3 @corneliaavenue-ao3 your anon has breached containment. Please come collect them I am kidding, hi!
Harry and Ginny have been friends for a long time, so during one night out together, all of their friends have snuck off at some point or are out dancing. This is not an issue, they can talk together, they get along. Ginny doesn't know what went wrong in Harry's relationship but after asking about his relationship status casually, suddenly the words come streaming out. Ginny makes it her goal to show him what real love looks like, and that he deserves all of it.

please please please do no. 50 and no. 75!
Another arranged marriage one! Dangerous business!
50. Arranged Marriage 75. Bed Sharing
They have been betrothed to each other since childhood and they don't hate each other, but suddenly have to share the bed with their new spouse they are definitely not in love with. They get to the room, and they are meant to have sex but it is awkward and too new. They stand on each side of the bed in their pyjamas, looking at it like it's Mount Everest. They could simply sleep, but it should be discussed.
"We don't have to have sex," Harry said. "I know it's expected."
"Right." Ginny nodded slowly and refused to meet his eyes. "We certainly don't have to. That's okay... unless you want to."
"What?"
The shock in his voice made her head shot up, looking at him. "If you want to... that'd be alright."
His cheeks coloured a deeper red and he ran a hand through his hair. "Only if you want to."
She swallowed hard and she felt her stomach drop. "You know what? We have our whole lives to figure this out," she continued. "Doesn't have to be tonight." And she resolutely stepped into bed.
Harry followed her example. They pulled the sheets up and lay there next to each other. Ginny counted seconds. The mattress dipped as Harry rolled towards her.
He leaned on his elbow as his face appeared above her. "Do you want to?" he asked softly.
And now they were already closer together, it didn't feel like an insurmountable event. She locked eyes with him and nodded her head without saying a word.

How We Bloom
[[I want this to be the start of something longer…but this is my first toe-dip attempt at fanfic bravery…]]
Hannah Longbottom stands in front of the massive mahogany doors of the Hogwarts infirmary as Headmistress McGonagall sets the wing’s iron ring of ancient keys into her palm. Her former teacher meets Hannah’s eyes and gives a crisp nod and says, “I leave it in your care.” 
Their hands press together for a moment, and McGonagall’s face warms into an expression more lovely than a smile as she gazes at Hannah. “And I am very grateful.”
There is a snap. McGonagall whips her head to Neville and his camera. “You’ve taken two rolls of film. That’s quite enough.” 
“Oh, but–just one more, Minerva, hold on, I need to wind the dialy-thing–wait–the flash just went off, bugger…” 
McGonagall squints at him; she lets out a loud exhale as she turns on her heel and strides away down the hall. Over her shoulder, she calls back, “I will see you both at the Minister’s luncheon.”

Ginny Weasley is a Slut: Chapter Six is finally live
Fair warning, it's a super short chapter, which I know is disappointing after such the long wait. Thank you for your patience.
Read on AO3 || Start from the beginning
