me: *taking out the trash at the same time as a neighbor*
neighbor: Hi! How are you?

me: *averts eyes*
me: *stands there awkwardly*
me: *goes inside*
me: *walks around for hours afterward whispering "I can't I am stupid I am socially inept I can't talk to people I can't deal with real life conversations What is wrong with me I can't"*

Things that legit piss me off
People who misuse “wherefore” because they think it means “where”.
In this usage, it means “why” or “for what reason or purpose”.
Stop using a word if you don’t know what it means.
Your overconfidence in your grasp of the English language is stunningly baseless.

I wish that the HP movies had stayed truer to the books.
So I could graphic my favorite scenes.
Alas.

If you recognize this translation of this poem,...
Oh, family bred for torments, for the bloody strokes of harsh discordant ruin, for pains beyond enduring, grief that can’t be staunched.
For all this evil there’s a remedy, not from some stranger, someone outside the house, but from within, the cure that blood strife brings, their savage bloody fight. To...

Creating Floorplans for Your Fanfiction
hpffhelp:
How anal retentive are you? When I write a fanfiction, I like to have a visual representation of the layout of the apartment, house, or dormitory.
With that in mind, here are some resources for creating floorplan design:

Character Names: Starting from Scratch
hpffhelp:
If you’re starting from scratch and have nothing for an original character name in mind so far, try this exercise out:
Think of your three favorite characters that have known middle names (or, alternatively, you can repeat their first name or surname twice, like Narcissa Narcissa Malfoy). Let’s say, for now, that they are the following:
Harry James Potter
Draco Lucius Malfoy
Ronald...

For example:
“Your ghost doesn’t haunt, it kills.”
“I knew you’d leave. I’m not stupid. I knew that. But I never thought, not for one second… I never thought you’d run.”
“-You were watching me that night? -I am always watching you.”
“vultures circle our deadly feast.”
“when I turn my back on the black and come into the white ...

The Cold Shoulder Given to Original Characters
hpffhelp:
Why don’t people trust original characters? Well, there’s an easy answer to that: they’re new, and people don’t like newness.
We read fanfiction to get more of the old, and even if people enjoy reading AU or Crossover fanfiction, there is a limit to their suspension of disbelief; there is an invisible line that authors dare not cross, lest they lose the reader entirely in their quest...

The Warm Embrace of Familiarity
hpffhelp:
Some people love newness. They love original characters in all of their cellophane packaging and new car smell glory. I am not one of those people. I believe in the warm embrace of familiarity, at least when it comes to fanfiction. I believe that, most of the time, Canon characters or at least characters with Canon surnames should be used to fill professorships or other empty...

Hey everyone!
I’m trying to compile a list of all possible ships in HP (especially their proper names, like “Dramione” or “Hinny”) for my Harry Potter Fanfiction help blog.
Send me your ship(s) in an ask or reply here! I don’t want to leave any out!
Here’s what I have so far:
Drarry: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Dramione: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger Hinny: Harry...

Bloomsbury, the publisher of the “Harry Potter” series by author JK Rowling, also said it was counting on a new Rowling three-book box set tied into the Potter series, and a non-fiction account of spies in World War II to support sales in the coming year.
