A pinned post—only four years or so after joining Tumblr.

Here's a link to my works page on AO3. My profile on AO3 has some information about me and my works. I write mostly Drarry but there are a couple of Dronarry fics, a Dron, and some rarepairs. I'm a mod of @hdsudsfest and was also a mod of @lockdownfest. I'm currently writing a long Drarry multiverse fic. It's not finished yet but I post snippets under the tag tacky's fth. I'm not a rec blog but when I want to rec a fic I usually tag it with rowing recs. My short fic rec lists are here and here. I'm working (very slowly) on a third and always love to read great new short works. The wonderful @drarrymicrofic team have an excellent tagging system so it's easier to find my Tumblr ficlets under their tag 🤗 I try to tag any of my writing posts with the tag rowing and writing. Writing chat or general fandom thoughts go under the tag rowing and chatting — there's a bit of everything in there. The other main tags I use are rec of my fic and art of my fic — I mention these because they tend to include some excellent Drarry creations (and are mostly not confined to my fics!)

We all know Tumblr's tagging system leaves a lot to be desired so this is absolutely not a comprehensive way of finding posts, but sin é!

I also love asks, though can be slow to respond due to limited fandom time.

Does your Draco speak french in your next fic?

Hi I just wanted to volunteer as tribute to help any drarry fic writer with the use of french in your WIPs. I know we love for Draco to speak perfect french sometimes, because mostly it's hot. (I mean as a french speaking person myself it is in fact - not hot. But I get where you're coming from).

Anyway when I read fics with french written by a translator it just completely gets me out of it.

So if you want a correct translation, with a language that an actual french speaking person would use, feel free to DM me, I am available to help!

I come from the french part of Switzerland (yes a big portion of Switzerland speak french), so it's my first language. All throughout my school years I always had top marks in french.

So anyway, don't hesitate!

Happy writing ✨️

I finished 1 (one) fic and now I feel invincible. Like bitch, slow down, you managed to write ONE fic for ONE fest on time compared the ... *checks notes* three other fests you've dropped out of and the ten discord servers you've ghosted

I’ve been seeing tons of anniversaries for people hitting a year in fandom and I’m so excited for them and also so terribly terribly jealous. I’ve been writing Drarry since June 2021 and like I’m not disappointed in the interaction I’ve received. In fact I love every single person who’s kudos, commented, subscribed, and bookmarked my fics. But I’m jealous because these people I see that are celebrating are tagging long time fandom people or simply other newbies that are doing great and I just want friends. Let’s be honest here, I’m jealous of people ability to make friends. The concept is so lost on me and I’m so afraid of making a bad connection and then having anxiety when I think of Drarry and Drarry is literally the best thing in my life. (Besides my cats) So I’m just gonna keep sitting here wishing somebody would tag me to join their 1 hit, 2 gem challenge or the first sentence of 10 fics or WIPs, fucking whatever. And like yeah I’ve seen tons of people end it with “join if you want to” but that feels so much like my sisters’ saying I can invite myself to their hangouts and dinners. I know in theory that that’s how people are making friends, they just fucking jump in, or they join fests and discords and I’ve done the two latter things with no success to making friends.

#personal rant #Drarry writer #I’m not a bad friend I’m just an ex high masking autistic who now doesn’t know how to interact with neurotypicals and neurodivergents #I’m a cheerleader friend who just wants to enjoy fandom with someone #I’ve got one friend who likes fanfic which has been so amazing but we have different fandoms #like we have a little overlap of our lower level loves but not in the stuff that makes me wiggle and talk #fandom lurker

Especially amused getting two back to back comments (within a min of eachother) on two seperate chapters asking if I'd be updating. Which, yes, I will be. I replied rather quickly, just to assuage any fears if they were presently trying to vague whether to get invested, and they didn't reply back. Which obviously they didn't need to, question asked and answered, but at the same time it gives the energy of someone shouting into a room and then immediately leaving before getting a response. I'm not even dragging them, it was objectively quite funny.

Anyways, if you're wondering, I don't drop fics without warning. It might be two weeks, it might be two months, but it will come. My brains been bad since I started back at Starbucks, I've been sick twice this month and the lack of sun isn't helping anything. I have the next chapter outlined in my notes, I just haven't had the will to enjoy things, much less create. But very soon. 💖

Listen, I'm not the type to look for homoeroticism in every single male duo in media. Not everyone swings that way.

But those two?

I smell the fruitiest of fruit, your honor.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you so much for the tag @lettersbyelise. loved reading yours here!

How many works do you have on ao3?

63 under my tacky account and I think 2 under my brasstacks account.

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

On my tacky account: 358,302.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Only HP so far (plus, inexplicably, one Witcher fic even though i wasn't even really into the show let alone in the fandom). I have an idea for a Steve x Eddie fic (stranger things) and an F1 fic (i don't know the fandom or the real life people at all but I am obsessed with the writing of @boxboxlewis and have, fatally, had An Idea for a galex fic as a result. pray for tacky, i can't afford another hyperfixation, the one i have is bad enough). but they will probably never get written, alas. i barely get my drarry stuff done!

4.. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I never check my stats - i don't have them blocked or anything, it just doesn't occur to me. I also think it's a really unhelpful way of judging the merits of a fic. Fandom is supposed to be fun, and a fic can be great in many different ways for many different people, and none of that can accurately be conveyed by how many hearts people leave. That said, I appreciate every reader i get so much - I never ever imagined people would read my fics so each person who does gets a whole lotta love from me. However for the purposes of this ask i did go into my stats section to have a look and here we go, it might be a surprising one as i suspect Modern Love is probably my most recced:

If It Takes All Night: quick oneshot i wrote for Lock Down Fest, forced bonding, quidditch buddies, friends to lovers.

A Lick and a Promise: My first long fic, a case fic involving an auror/unspeakable team who go undercover as Hogwarts professors to solve a crime at the school. oh and they also happen to be fuckbuddies already.

Modern Love: My own favourite, also my longest fic (so far, mwahaha). Muggle world Draco, depressed Harry learns to love himself and falls in love with Draco along the way.

Through the Window, Clear Skies: 1.4k of love story. so fond of this one as it's the first fic i wrote where i felt like i had finally clicked stylistically. it was the start of me learning to write in my own style rather than trying to emulate the fics i loved to read.

And One to Play: Gosh, i actually do not really remember what this is about. auror partners? Harry loves clothes in this one i remember. And it's about weather magic. I was so proud of this one when i wrote it and really learned a lot at the start of my fic writing journey.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Just like Elise, I would love to but I fell massively behind after Modern Love posted and never got my momentum back. I am currently about 3 years behind though i do try to reply whenever i can. i absolutely treasure comments and i really miss interacting with readers. at the moment it's a choice between writing new stuff and replying to comments. i also never ever mind when an author doesn't reply to my comments so i figure people will allow me the same grace.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Some people might say it's Last Offices as that's MCD, but my own choice would be The Quiver of a Heartstring because of the sheer hopelessness of it. Depends on your particular flavour of angst i think.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics are cheerful, I suppose Modern Love as there are two follow up fics so you get to see them happy in both of those, as well as in the epilogue?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not much that anyone tells me about! Someone did feature one of my fics (ironically, the one with most kudos) on some horrible mean-spirited blog about crap mary-sues, which was probably the most out-and-out horrid thing i've come across. i wasn't upset by it, but i did think it was a surprisingly shitty thing to do about anyone's fics! I also had someone leave me very very long comments on one of my fics asking me to explain why I made Harry so mean, and then went on reddit and posted some long posts about the same thing (naming the fics they had a problem with, including mine). bizarre! i have never had out and out hate comments, thankfully. just the usual WELL ACKSHULLY type "concrit" that really just means "i didn't like how you did this, so i'm going to let you know in detail about it". to which i say, off you fuck, buddy, and learn some self-awareness. and brush up on your grasp of fandom etiquette while you're at it.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes i do, not necessarily all the time and sometimes it's more M or T rated hints. I read fic for the romance and sex is part of that. and i write what i want to read.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No i don't, though after chats with my resident F1 expert @sweet-s0rr0w I wondered about writing a racing AU where one of them crashes and ends up in a fiery inferno but walks out of it. only they've come back wrong.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of, i would absolutely hate that though.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

earlier fics yes, but now i ask that people not translate my fics. this is because if i need to delete all my works off AO3 at any point, i would prefer to have them all in one place to scrub them. i know it doesn't work like that but it's just one of those irrational worries i have and it gives me the illusion of control!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Body Electric with @shealwaysreads which is a Drarry bodyswap. And Dreaming Skies with @sweet-s0rr0w which was the Dron dragon-tamer getting together fic of my dreams. love a collab, what a privilege to get to work with such talented people!

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Drarry absolutely 100% no questions asked. I've never had another ship and never will. my brain just isn't made that way. it's a pain but it is what it is.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

None, i have quite a few WIPs but I feel like I could go back to any of them at some point. I'd never say never on a fic tbh. if i started writing it, i had a reason. some WIPs i have from years back are: quidditch fic where Draco buys the team Harry plays for, Master of Death Harry fic where he is reckless after the war and Draco dies due to trying to keep up with him, and Harry has to go get him back... umm political fic about a corrupt Ministry where Dudley has a magical baby and Harry and Draco take the kiddo (and Dudley!) and go on the run. i probably have more that i've forgotten.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Not being disingenuous but it's harder for me to appreciate my strengths as I tend to be too immersed in my own writing to have any distance. I think maybe, going by what people have said, I am able to capture a mood? And i write love in a loving way.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

From my own perspective, my weaknesses are being too slow (it takes me ages to write anything), inability to focus for long, and not being a good plotter.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Yeah, I think that's fine! i'm not sure what this question refers to tbh 🤔😂 I mean, if it works in the story then it works. I have never done it myself other than in Our Little Life which is a multiverse fic where Harry gets visions of multiple other lives with Draco through space and time. In it they speak Middle English, Latin, Irish... i think that's all?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. i actually wrote an angsty Draco x Ron oneshot YEARS ago (it was called Take This Longing and i went by perfidia back then and i can see the link on the wayback machine but the fic itself is lost sadly.. or actually that might be a good thing) but then I never wrote anything at all ever again until i started writing fic in 2019. i have never been in another fandom and i don't think i ever will. i don't know why i've imprinted so hard on these two idiots but here we are. I have also started writing original work in recent years, again not something i ever imagined doing but it's lovely and satisfying in different ways to the way fic writing is! so i feel very lucky tbh.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Probably Modern Love. It is exactly the fic i wanted it to be, and people who read it seem to get what I wanted to give. and you can't say fairer than that.

Tagging @blamebrampton @boxboxlewis @citrusses @epitomereally @maesterchill @mintawasalreadytaken @porcelainheart3 @shealwaysreads @skeptiquewrites @sweet-s0rr0w @teacup-tai if you fancy it! and anyone who wants to play.

Hi Dig! For the fanfic writer ask game: 💔 and 🔬

Hi there! Thanks for the ask! ♥ (Questions here.)

💔 Least favorite ship you have written about? I will say probably: Harry/Bill. It was on request and wasn't my fav. ship.

🔬The fic you had to make the most research for?

I think one of the most researches I ever did was probably when I wrote the MUGGLE AU fic almost 10 years ago. It was one of my first fics to write "You can give me all that I lack." I didn't know anything about basketball, London traffic, Emergency services, and even gay sex, LOL. Nowadays I just wing it and make stuff up as I go along. HAHA.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK :)

Fanfics on AO3 are very well tagged these days. You see barely a few authors (mostly amateurs) who don’t tag their works. Most of the time, if there are no tags, then there are summaries and warnings listed in the author notes.

So if you’re reading a well-tagged work and going to comment shit about it, don’t. You know what you’re going to find in there. If it’s not something you like, just leave.

Don’t harass those authors, man. These platforms are just creative outlets to most of them, an escape from their realities. A lot of times, these are the things that keep them going. Don’t be an asshole about it.

Don’t like, don’t engage. It really is that simple.

If you’re really brimming with hate that much, find some other ways to let it out. Idk, maybe smash a plate, pick up a sport, whatever. Just don’t hate on people for doing what they can to keep going while not harming others.

Damn, but the audacity people have here to put others down like that. Yikes.

JK Rowling: Harry Potter is 100% heterosexual.

Harry in book 6:

Meticulously catalogues Tom Riddle's evolving level of hotness in each memory he watches

Gets so distracted by seeing Draco Malfoy changing that he gets hit on the head by a piece of luggage

Is deeply horrified that large numbers of girls are interested in him, doesn't even consider dating any of them, and goes to great lengths to avoid them

#you know how sometimes the writer has one plan and the characters have another one? I feel like that happened here #also remember when harry is confused and a little disgusted by ron being so physical with lavender?#Harry Potter #harry x draco #hpdm #harry potter and the half blood prince #drarry #or i guess #tomarry #if you want
