Can fandom bring back the concept of a squick?
No for real in 2k15
Can fandom bring back the concept of a squick
A âsquickâ was a trope or topic that made the reader deeply uncomfortable, even might cause anxiety or intense emotional reactions
Everyoneâs squicks were personal and diverse, and it was considered polite to say, âsorry I canât read this because it squicks me, but you have fun in your corner doing what you doingâ
Can we bring that back and reserve âtriggerâ for MI people who mean âif I see this I will have flashbacks and dissociate for hoursâ
I wasnât aware this concept had fallen out of fandom. Â Seriously, bring it back, itâs useful as hell.
Key to the concept of âsquick,â as it was first explained to me lo these many years ago, is that it is not a value judgment.  If I say âmpreg is gross,â thatâs a negative statement about mpreg (and, by extension, about those who enjoy writing or reading about it).  If I say âmpreg squicks me,â thatâs a value-neutral statement about me and my emotional reactions and how they affect my enjoyment of fiction.
And, as OP says, it does not carry the implications of intensity or trauma that âtriggerâ does. Â (Although I will point out that a trigger doesnât have to cause flashbacks or dissociation. Â There are people a lot better qualified than I am to talk about that.)
Yes, yes, yes please to all of this!
squick: Something that makes you go âewwwwâ and wish you had never seen/read it. Something that makes you deeply uncomfortable. Something youâre not interested in reading/seeing/thinking about, ever.
trigger: Something that you associate with/reminds you of a past trauma (mental, emotional, or physical) and therefore triggers your personal reaction to trauma (be it flashbacks, panic/anxiety attacks, unhealthy behaviours, a crying jag, whatever).
Please, please, please donât use them interchangeably.
I may have reblogged this before but itâs worth doing again: such a useful concept.Â
Hermione: Transfiguration is so interesting!
Fred: It is interesting until you have to study it. then it becomes boring like everything else
things severus snape could hope to win by helping to protect the potters: nothing, zero, absolutely jack shit
things severus snape could hope to win by helping to protect the potters if it had been successful and the family had survived: still nothing, zero, absolutely jack shit
things he had to lose in both scenarios: everything, mostly his life
why do you do this to me
the most romantic line in the whole harry potter series is âi have seen your heart and it is mine.â that shit is unbelievably dramatic. it sounds like something out of wuthering heights. it sounds like an agonized confession delivered in a thunderstorm from one conflicted lover to another, acknowledging the way their fatal flaws mirror yet complement each other, a desire to reflect and to perceive and ultimately to forgive. unfortunately, it is also spoken by horcrux locket tom riddle to ron weasley

Hermione + Anybody = Perfection
Letâs talk about Hermione Granger. How does one create such a perfectly flexible character who can be paired with EVERYONE from the Potter universe? Iâm really talking everyone here, from Neville to Harry to basically any and all Hogwarts students, to the Weasleys to the Malfoys to the Death Eaters to the Marauders to the Founders to bloody Lord Voldemort himself (though Iâm partial to a young Tom Riddle myself)! She can work with absolutely everybody and make a steamy, romantic AND convincing pairing. All while staying in character. I applaud you, fanfic authors, for creating a world beyond J.K.Rowlingâs, where Hermione can find love in the unlikeliest of places. Since I was never a big Romione fan, you have saved me! Kudos to you!
I love her! She is the all-time-shippable queen!
Do you ever forget how âintoâ reading you can get? Like you read a lot of good fanfics/books, theyâre good and everything
-But then you find a new story-
-and before you know it youâre crouched half on the floor, cos you only planned on stopping for a minute before doing that thing you were planning to do, and itâs been more than an hour, and youâre on the edge of whatever youâre sitting on and youâre gripping your phone with all your strength and if anyone wanted you to stop now theyâd have to prY IT FROM YOUR COLD DEAD HANDS
So glad I'm not alone.
Most popular fics on HPFF:
As you know, HPFF is shutting down soon, so Iâm compiling a list of the most popular fics on the site, so you can read it before it is gone, or you can download it for later. This list will not contain the fics that are posted on multiple sites.
Above the Clouds by cathyyy - M, 43 chapters - Hermione is back for her seventh year at Hogwarts. Over one year has passed since the war and she finds herself changed by the experience. She needs something, someone. But everyone around her act like nothing ever happened, except for one. Draco Malfoy. With him as her teacher in flying, can she find a way to heal?
Lady Malfoy by cherrypie3601 - M, 41 chapters - âMiss Granger, you are in grave danger,â he said slowly. âBut the Ministy can offer you a safe hiding place, where no one will be able to find you.â "WhâŚwhere is this place?â Hermione said shakily. The man took a deep breath and looked into those brown eyes. âMiss Granger, what do you know of Malfoy Manor?âÂ
Pirates by singerhotti24Â - T, 38 chapters - Pirates and Nobles: this very game gives a new definition to every witch and wizard. Murder doesnât come with regret, fighting doesnât come without scars, and hate treads a fine line with lust, not love. This very game was invented for inner house unity. To be honest, the murdering and hanging doesnât really help. Updated: June 24, 2012
One Sweet Day by KimMalfoy - T, 41 chapters - After losing the love of her life, the father of her now five year old daugther, Hermione wonders if she ever will be able to love again⌠And when she do find love itâs not as perfect as she excpected it to be⌠Itâs a cruel game of love⌠but maybe, just maybe⌠one sweet day itâll all work out just fine⌠|| The story is completed!
The Other Reality by FeltonLewis - M, 27 chapters - The war is over and the students are back at Hogwarts. Of course, Draco and Hermione get into a fight on the first day back and he wishes that she grows up to have the worst future imaginable to her. What happens when they end up in another time- seven years later- and find themselves together? Be careful what you wish for because you might end up like Draco and Hermione- stuck in The Other Reality.Â
Otherwise Engaged by majamariamaja - M, 24 chapters - Hermione Grangerâs practically perfect life is turned upside-down after meeting her former enemy at the local pub. This is her story. I froze. I wasnât alone. Was Martin here? I removed the pillow from my face and opened my eyes. It wasnât my bedroom. Where the hell was I? "Good morning, Mudblood.â I screamed while jumping into a sitting position. "Malfoy?!"Â
Lure of the Dark Side by Hermione_88Â - M, 39 chapters - FINALLY COMPLETED!!! For all those fans of âRespect Meâ comes âLure of the Dark Sideâ. Hermione is on assignment for Dumbledore. Itâs the Orderâs last chance to penetrate Lord Voldemortâs dark plans. But because of the circumstances â she canât remember a thing about the assignment and so she really believes that she is devoted to the Dark Lord. Will they ever be able to bring her back?
Arabesque by CelticKisses - M, 25 chapters - Hours became a painful ticking of seconds. The edges of the world were blurring. Her eyes were swollen shut or pinned open; she couldnât tell through the pain. All she knew was the tight circle of his arms. The soft tickling of his breath on her neck as he held her. The way it felt to curl into his side and hope for oblivion; wish for the end. She was wishing for it - most profoundly. She no longer wanted to go on, to live like this.
Fire and Air by Night Owl - T, 29 chapters - Thanks so much Scarlet for this amazing banner! You rock! The Trio are back for their sixth year at Hogwarts and everything is going great. But Hermione has a secret, a secret that is about to change her life forever. Will she be able to handle it when she finds out that someone else shares her secret? A story of action, danger, mystery, and romance. Chapter 29 up: "Epilogueâ This story is now COMPLETE!
The Checkout Chick by Sara4Harry - M, 31 chapters - **COMPLETE!!** Beautiful Banner by Naya_xox! Love it so so so much!!! Hermione has a summer part-time job at Diagon Alley as a cash-out chick before she goes back to Hogwarts for her 7th year. Draco and her encounter in the store. He finds her predicament a good opportunity to annoy her more. But what if his tricks go too far? A simple part-time job turns into one of the most defining moments in both Hermione and Dracoâs lives. Winner of the ffssc Avant Garde Award

writing tip #2170:
the protagonist should fail as many times as they need for the reader to start feeling sorry for them
I'll keep that in mind.
In fanfiction there is a difference between being a good writer and a popular writer.Â
Just because you can write a well-structured story with dynamic and consistent writing and characters doesnât mean you will be popular. And sometimes stories that have disorganized plots, mediocre writing, and/or OOC characters will be held up as the greatest things to ever exist.Â
Just because your writing isnât popular doesnât mean you are a bad writer. Donât ever compromise who you are, who your characters are, your plot, your writing style, anything for the sake of readership.
There are popular writers everywhere. But there are only so many good writers.
I needed to read this today. Iâm guessing maybe others do too!
^^^^THIS.
Thx.

ââI am yours.â His hand grabs the waves of her hair and he tugs her closer, breathes against her lips but not quite touching. His eyes are mesmerizing and deep enough to drown. She feels dizzy and lightheaded, almost dazed. His smile reminds her of a hounded animal - sharp at the edges, the peaks of his pearly white teeth glimmering in the red shadows of the candle. He looks dangerous. Wild. âYou will be brutal. You will be invincible.â When he reaches out to trace the sharp edged bone of her shoulder down to her collarbone, something inside of her lapses. âYou will be mine.â Every single muscle and sinew is on fire. All thatâs left to do, is burn.â

Things to Keep Out of Your Healthy Relationships!
(Alternately: how to identify problematic YA romances.)
Written by yours truly, contributions from @jltillary, @theinkrepository, @time-to-write-and-suffer, and @sakrebleu.
Non-consensual physical intimacy, especially in situations where itâs portrayed as being done for the benefit of the victim or situations where the victim forgives the forced intimacy because they decide they like it after itâs already been forced on them. Examples:
Forcing a partner to accept physical comfort when they donât want it.
Kissing a partner in the middle of an argument.
Framing consent as unnecessary simply because one person is attracted to the other.
Stalking the other person, even for their own safety.
Forcing the other person into some form of physical intimacy because they âliked it last time.â
Implying that itâs normal for a certain physically intimate act to hurt and/or their partner should grin and bear it.
Skipping over their partnerâs preferred forms of intimacy in favor of what they want to do with/to their partner.
When in doubt: Consent should be explicitly given!!
Non-consensual communication. Examples:
Physically stopping a partner from leaving in order to continue talking with them.
Bringing up a topic the other person has made clear they donât wish to discuss yet.
Forcing the other person into conversations with people they previously showed they did not wish to talk with.
Manipulating the conversation so that the other person shares a secret, especially one that doesnât affect their partner.
Emotional manipulation. Examples:
Telling the other person to do something (i.e. âgo awayâ) as a test, where the person is at fault if they follow through and do as their partner asked.
Blaming the other person for things beyond their control, especially âI wouldnât be like this if not for you/your interests/your goals.â
Claiming theyâll die (or kill themselves) if the other person leaves.
Not wanting the other person to have friends of the same gender as their partner (i.e. a man not wanting his girlfriend to have any male friends).
âIf you really loved me you would do x, y, and z.â
Demanding to be the most important part of their partnerâs life, above and beyond their partnerâs other responsibilities.
Cheating on their partner as a form of punishment.
Acting as though physical intimacy (or any other sort of intimacy) isnât important, but then blaming the other person for not supplying it.
Acting distant or cruel until the other person does what they want, or because the other person didnât do what they wanted.
Demeaning actions and words, especially in instances where they blame the actions and words on internalized sexism, racism, etc as a shield, in instances outside of high-stress arguments, and whenever the character isnât sincerely sorry for what they did or makes no point to change. Examples:
Stating the other personâs interests or hobbies are inferior or a waste of time.
Telling them they were look better if they did x, y and z.
Demanding they stop doing something or start doing something else based on their gender, race, etc.
Placing the other person in a subordinate role without their partnerâs explicit consent.
Not sharing certain pieces of information because they believe they know whatâs best for their partner and donât need the other personâs consent to act upon it.
Bonus: Glorification of a partner simply for not demeaning the other person, (i.e. for acting like  an average, decent human being,) especially when the partner in question boasts how amazing they are for loving their âcurvyâ/non-white/bisexual/not-like-other-girls/etc partner.
Please add more, if you feel so inclined!Â
Why do I see Tom Riddle in every sentence.
