I was wondering which chapter, from YBTM (IBTY), that Harry’s gonna meet Grindelwald?? Only if u know, no pressure, and also no worries if it’s kinda secret to like build up the meeting! xD🩷

Hope u know that u are frrrr one of my favorite authors of all time, omg, when u were gone for a month, I came on tumblr from time to time to check for updates on u, and became worried when no updates D: this is a recent development lolol i have always stuff to read but i don’t always like check SO regularly for updates on the author XD🩷

U r SO appreciated for interacting with us, it’s SO fun to hear about your thought process of ur stories and what’s going on in ur life!!!🩷

I recently started writing myself, and OMG the power of an author?!?! I was like omg i wanna read THIS and i can’t find it so IMMA WRITE THIS SHIT MYSELF!!! XDD and people actually like it?!?! :O i feel so HONORED it’s a little over 300 kudos rn, nowhere near what ur getting ofc ur a pro and i’m a noob lolol, but i just felt like sharing with someone that i’m writing!! and others like it!!! :D i started writing for myself, but now i feel the pressure of writing for others too OMG GIRL I CAN’T PROCESS HOW U DON’T CRACK UNDER PRESSURE?!?! I felt inadequate and had to take a break lol… my family kinda know but i’m anonymous, they don’t know WHAT i’m writing XDD🩷

it’s a fandom ur not writing for, JJK, teehee🩷

yea so i just wanted to share that u r amaaaazing, and life happens, u know?? Shit happens, and sometimes it’s just great to take a break from stuff, and if u just want to post updates about u, and not ur stories from time to time, that’s SO great!!! Something ur fixated on, something that’s fun, or something about ur day, anything about u🩷 don’t feel the pressure to always post about ur stories!! I asked a question about one of ur stories, but if u wanna ignore that and talk about urself, that’s great!! Hope u have a lovely week!!! Its soon june, wow, summer!!🩷☀️

Hello! I do tend to go months or years without updating, and weeks without posting on tumblr, so silence isn’t unusual for me 😂

For Grindelwald, according to my notes—it’ll be chapter 26 or 27? Depends on the next few chapters though, so we’ll have to wait and see!

And congrats on starting your writing career!!! That’s so exciting!! The sheer joy and excitement you get writing is on of the best feelings—and I’m so happy for you!!! JJK is an awesome fandom to get your start in as well!

You should never feel the need to compare to other writers either, darling. I’ve been swimming in this pool for a while, and it took a long time to get the audience I have. You keep your passion, your keep your drive, you keep writing, and you’ll see the growth both in your own abilities and in your readers.

Writing can be tough, and it’s easy to fall under the sway of audience expectations—especially with the rampant consumerism of fandom spaces—but it is so so so rewarding. Every word you put on the page is a victory, because it’s coming from your brain and your heart, and each one contains a little bit of yourself that you’re sharing with the world. And that’s beautiful.

And thank you for your kind words. I don’t talk about myself too much, since I don’t think I’m all that interesting, but it would be nice to share a bit more with you all…I’ll have to keep it in mind!

Hello darling! Greetings from Australia 💕

I won’t say I’d never do ILYWT. I definitely have a lot of thoughts and interest in it, since Barty and Harry’s dynamic is still absolutely fascinating to me.

Hello darling!

I haven’t plotted it out fully, but I imagine some version of the Battle of the Seven Potters would occur—only this time the goal isn’t to kill Harry but capture him. So Hedwig will live! Maybe I could even have Barty stun and kidnap Hedwig 🤔 that’s definitely a viable way to get a boy’s attention…

Ooh interesting question!

I’d say the trio would be both terribly sad and incredibly angry to see a version of themselves that was an Obscurial. We’ve already gotten some of ybtm!Harry’s musings on his chances of being an Obscurial, and while it might not hit as close to home for Hadrian or Harriet (given their childhoods were largely magic-positive), the two of them would still be wroth at the idea.

I’d say Obscurial!Harry would be both baffled and uncomfortable at the protectiveness from his other selves. There might also be an element of jealousy there, since these three got to experience magic without the sheer level of fear this Harry endured. His life has been hard, and painful, and full of the constant panic that he is a walking bomb.

Hello darling! That’s so sweet - I’m glad you’ve liked it! 🥰

“The house-elf twitched, her long ears drooping. Erebus felt his influence over her waver for a moment, and he gently took her chin in his hand, coaxing her eyes to his.

Resistant to many magics house-elves might be, but there were not many who could resist a vampire’s compulsion, and certainly not one as old as him.

“It’s okay,” he crooned, “everything is okay. You can tell me anything, remember? Whatever you saw…you won’t get in trouble. I’m a friend, isn’t that right?”

He overrode whatever doubts she felt.”

And now I’m curious: how old is Erebus exactly??

Oooh an oldie but a goodie concept!

I can’t say I’d never write one—the idea does tend to loop back around in my head regularly. I’ve dabbled in Slytherin!Harry AUs, but a full rewrite with non-BWL Harry would be a fun experiment…

I can definitely see the similarities between Harry and Tom being far more obvious in this world, and without Harry getting derailed by shenanigans, I could see him becoming more studious and ambitious. He has no fame or importance to shield him here—just another orphan of war trying to make his way in the world.

No one cares about his home life. No one asks any questions about the bruises or thinness or haunted look in his eyes. Academia is the only solace Harry has, so he throws himself into it, desperate and clinging to the one thing that gives his life meaning.

Blaise and Theo are a surprise. Their attention has falls over Harry like gossamer silk—so gently at first that he doesn’t even realise he’s surrounded until they’re under his skin.

It’s the two of them that pull Harry from his cocoon of comfort, and propel him into the centre of their House politics.

Draco Malfoy is unprepared for the recluse of Slytherin to erupt onto the board as explosively as he does.

I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, and I know the fic is still ongoing, but do you have an estimate of how many chapters the sequel to YBTM (IBTY) is going to have? Sorry if there are any mistakes in the question, English is not my first language and I’m still learning 🤭

Theo Nott is so underdeveloped he is fertile grounds for any fanfic writer.

ummmm

probably not but i might throw in a mention of newt somewhere

hello my dear!

simon will oscillate between being a nuisance and an actual threat for harry, i wouldnt say hes an idiot though more just indecisive which in turn makes him difficult to predict and therefore dangerous.

cant answer about benedict and cynthia since thats a bit of a spoiler for the end sorry! as for finding out about simons actions its not confirmed but my notes have that happening around chapter 28 or 29 depending on my word count

were currently scheduled in for 35 chapters all up but that could change. it wont be nearly as long as CS though
