Wizard Love

I had the SO* open up a blog for me because I felt weighted down by the history of All Things Journal, but this is still my preferred platform for writing my thoughts, sporadic as they may come.

I had a lovely note from the person running a Snupin Discord community. A post will probably appear on lupin_snape sometime soon, but if you can't wait, visit https://discord.gg/npBpN2mXhC. I'm already lurking there because no matter how bad JKR makes me feel about her work, the people who love my ship are some of the best still hanging in fandom (and yes, I know there are others great Fandomers out there. All Fandoms rule, no matter how weirdly I feel about being fannish these days).

I *still* haven't been able to bring myself to post that fic I discussed previously to AO3. I really ought to just pull the trigger and take my lumps.

I have slowly, at a glacial pace, been talking to AO3 about moving a couple of the major Snape/Lupin archives I inherited or created to AO3. It's a complicated process, but these two sites keep going down and the platforms are beyond ancient. I'm worried they will go down and I won't be able to get them up again, even with the help of the SO.

Think I'll stop here for now. Still struggling to be fannish in this world of properties going on too long, creators revealing what asshats they are, and other properties being cut off at the knees before they really get started. It's hard to get excited about anything these days. I miss the Fandom part of fandom.

love, lore
