Larlotte (Voldy's Version)

@antebellum13 is a prolific writer in the HP fandom! Primarily a SSHG writer, she has over 44 works in her catalogue, meaning there's a ton of reading available for you to devour!

Let's start with one of her featured WIPs, Of Storms and Stardust. This one has some of my favorite tags! Marriage Law, Slow Burn, Soulmates, Accidental Magic... It's like it was written with me in mind! (I kid, I kid) But with only 6 chapters posted, you can easily catch up and follow along with the rest of the story!

For completed work, RED is my pick this week. Fifteen years after the war, Lily Potter wakes from a coma-like state to find the love of her life happily settled down with another. Severus and Hermione have built a life together, and are trying for a child. But what happens when the past and present crash together?

Ante is also quite the artist! She has a wide array of digital art, and there are several pieces highlighted in the feature. Gawk at them with me! I'm particularly enjoying the Young Sev piece, with the perfect ponytail and impressive nose.

And I'd be remiss to not mention Ante was on the team with the most awards from the Horcrux Challenge, hosted by

@rainydaysfestsandmore

Overall, Ante is a talented writer with beautiful prose, and she deserves all the love for her works. Please run to her AO3 and support her. Let's build up this community one author at a time!

If you enjoy reading about your favorite authors, please follow me. I do a new post every Friday! You might even discover someone new!

A new option for anyone with a veeeeery long doc or complicated outline (and no desire to look at all of it at once) -

Collapsible headers! 

Turn them on in your Editor settings (Toggle headings), then click / tap the arrow beside any H1–H4 header to tuck that section away, safe and sound.

When you create a new header, just hit Enter, and it’ll become collapsible too.

Collapsible headers work in both the editor and on Reader links, so you can use them while writing, outlining, and editing; or to help your readers stay focused on one section at a time. We particularly love them for temporarily pretending the previous 86,491 words in a doc don’t exist (at least, not until the editing phase). 🙂‍↔️

Free for all, woohoo!

And another smol but mighty update this week: You can now change the email address associated with your account directly from your Settings page.

Just enter the new address via Change email under Account details. Done n' done!

Prompt of the day : Take off the mask when you speak to me

@potionsandparchment 31 days of flash fictions

We are continuously blown away at how much the Hunters have achieved. It's incredible!

The final 3 days are starting now, so keep your eyes peeled for the WIP Challenge's full updates, coming Aug 1st!

Part 2

40 hours of sprinting for writing, reading, chores, or whatever else you need to get done.

The goal is to find focus and make progress with what's on YOUR plate.

Optional Bingo cards will be provided for check off.

Come join us! Do one, do a few, hop in and out, whatever you fancy!

First, head to the link for the AO3 collection [add link here- can send them straight to sign up if we want]. Next, under ‘Dashboard’, press ‘Sign Up’ under the name of the collection to the right.

It will give you the following form:

Fandom: This works through AO3′s auto-fill function, you type in the fandom that this prompt adheres to - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling - and select the correct one in the drop-down menu.

Character: For this fest, you can leave this space blank.

Relationship: For this fest, you can leave this space blank.

Description: This is where you put in your prompt (a name, pairing, number, a one sentence summary) for your fic

Semi-anonymous prompt?: You need to tick this box. 

AO3 says: 'Semi-anonymous' means that your prompt will be displayed as 'anonymous'; however, since it will still be linked in the database with your username, we can't guarantee 100% anonymity - in some circumstances, such as a coding bug, it might be accidentally revealed or guessable. (We've put a lot of work into minimising the risk, but we want to be sure that our users are completely informed about their levels of privacy.)

And lastly, on the bottom right; Add another request: Do you want to do another prompt? Press this button and the page will expand to let you add another. (You can do this at any time by clicking ‘My Prompts’ on the collection page then selecting ‘Edit Sign-Up’)

When you are done, press Submit and your prompt will go live. You then claim it as normal on the collection page. You MUST claim your own prompt.

After your prompt is up, you can go back in and edit it if you want to change it, or edit your entire sign-up (aka all your prompts.) 

If you want to add another prompt after you have already submitted one, simply go to ‘My Prompts’ on the collection page then select ‘Edit Sign-Up ’and press “Add another request?” at the bottom. It’ll let you submit more prompts (up to five). Remember you must claim all your own prompts.

Hermione had been so busy admiring the view that she hadn't noticed there was already someone standing by the elevators, leaning against the opposite wall.

It's easy enough to recognise him. It's the teaching assistant from the lab, the one she caught looking at her.

She squeezes around her textbook. He's tall and quite obviously good looking, well-dressed with dark hair and sharp features. Being a demonstrator, she's sure he's either a postgraduate student or a young researcher, so he must be smart too.

With beauty and brains, her mother would call him the full package.

People like that didn't usually talk to her.

"Hi," she chirps back, but as soon as it leaves her lips, she's struck with a wave of doubt, so she adds, "um... sorry. Were you talking to me?"

He smiles and laughs softly through his nose. "Who else would I be talking to?"

Hermione glances behind her. The rest of the corridor by the elevator is empty aside from them.

** NOT A ROMANCE**

Save the date!! I am officially returning to regularly writing fanfic with my entry for the Duality: A Fairytale retelling fest.

Details: 🪻 The Fest is hosted by @larlotte on Archive of Our Own and is for the Harry Potter fandom. 🦉 The reveals with start on 21.08. and I will be joining via my account aphrcditesprls. 🌑 I will be working on other works on likecassandra and aphrcditesprls as well, but I have decided to not post any chapters at all before the 21st to have some prewritten buffer before I jump back in, as life is currently keeping me busy and I want to guarantee somewhat regular updates.
