#mxlfoydraco

Passing on the descriptions of @sweet-s0rr0w and @jelasdax because I really would like to know which fic this is: Draco is an author who ends up writing Captive Prince & the story had passages from the novels reproduced verbatim.

Thank you. <3

Yesss bless the reccers, our unsung heroes!!!

@mxlfoydraco is a fandom icon and a huge inspiration to other reccers, gifting us with so many spot on and comprehensive reclists (go check her masterlist if you haven’t, there’s so much good food and all the themes you could imagine! idk how but she kills it every time) and don’t get me started on those art reblogs!

hi!! thank you, dear!

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

lmao just for you, i've written the first line of the next long fic i have planned; angsty fwb turned fake dating fic:

“What in the world are you doing here?” Draco asks before noting the abject misery on Harry’s face. “Oh, no.”

37. Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?

both! and it's a ton of fun; i honestly tend to go way overboard with research because it helps me get into the world of the story, and i love world-building more than anything.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

this is CRUEL omg. me of the obnoxious word counts!! let's see:

Draco won’t say yes unless Harry gets it right.

this feels more like a summary but too bad!!!

Shipping asks!

Most underrated ship: At the moment I wanna say Parvati/Luna and Dorcas/Narcissa simply because I am in a mood for them and no one else seems to be. But seeing as those are also completely random characters to pair up, I can see why. In general, I'm gonna go with the 'popular' femslash ships? Even for just dorlene, which is definitely one of the more like established sapphic ships here, it's so hard finding it in content where it's not the sideship to wolfstar or jegulus. (Like legit if you go to the Marlene/Dorcas tag on AO3, M/M is still the most popular category and something about that just kinda annoys me sometimes lol)

There are obviously a lot of different reasons why that's the case, I'm not mad at anyone or anything, but it's a little disappointing when I just want the girls to fall in love sometimes. In that trend though, I will stick to my initial Dorcas/Narcissa and Parvati/Luna because those are girls that deserve some love.

Most overrated ship: Not to stir anything, I mean no hate to any shippers bc y'all look like you're having a blast and I'm very happy for you, but I'm so very glad for tumblr making it easy to mute jegulus posts. I don't get the appeal, I can't imagine it's something James would ever do except for very specific AUs, I just don't like it and it's grown SO much recently (especially on tiktok where filtering content is so frustratingly difficult lol). They've become one of the seemingly 'established' ship in half the headcanons I see even for other characters, and personally I'm just never a huge fan of it when that happens to any ship (simply because what I love most about the marauders era is that none of it is established) but with drarry and wolfstar, at least I like the ships you know. I just don't like jegulus and it's so prominent right now. But again, obviously, y'all seem to be having great fun and this is what they made muted tags and dldr for lmao, I'm not hating on anyone. (God knows I have no right left to judge anyway).

Lol bring it on!!! 🙌

🤢 Who is your NoTP?

I answered this one here and am still trying to think of a ship I dislike to the point of saying it’s a nOTP. I simply don’t care about the ships I don’t read, meaning I don’t even stop to consider them, let alone hate on them. I think I’ll go with Hinny since I’m very much into Drarry and most fics I read don’t have her in the picture (at least not romantically). I like Ginny though! But I like her with Blaise, Pansy, Neville… I’ve even started considering Ginny/Hermione lately, in that sort of “damn, I wanna fuck my sister-in-law” taboo, know what I mean? 🔥

👿 What trope do you hate / avoid at all costs?

I don’t think I avoid any tropes other than “Ginny bashing” (is that even a trope?? Who knows, not me) but I do avoid themes - not necessarily because I hate them but because they’re either a personal squick or they’re not among my interests so I don’t actively go searching for them, like kid fic. These are mostly soft nos to be honest, I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few fics with them! The main ones are: self-harm, addiction, infidelity, memory loss, MCD, BDSM, emotional imbalance, domestic abuse. I’m also picky with dubcon involving love/lust potion and bonding/soulmate, don’t read those very often. But more power to those who love them! ✊🏼

🤷 What thing that your fandom loves do you just not “get”?

- so blaise has this brilliant idea of wearing amortentia to get laid (as if he didn’t have the whole of hogwarts ogling at him already) so one day he wears amortentia to breakfast and everyone is all over him but draco just wrinkles his nose and asks if he’s sleeping with potter bc he reeks of him and blaise almost chokes on his pumpkin juice 

- or the classic harry is late for potions on the day they’re brewing amortentia so when he rushes into his seat beside ron and asks him why the entire classroom smells like malfoy, ron nearly knocks the entire cauldron off the table

- or ron spills everything onto harry and harry has to go about his day with amortentia-stained robes (let’s just pretend they didn’t think of scourgify) and when draco walks past him in the corridor, his eyes widen and he does a double-take because he realises that the familiar, comforting smell he couldn’t put a name to during potions just now was potter
