I dropped out of fanfic circles about the time that Harry Potter was first coming out. I am much happier getting my exposure to fanfic drama secondhand. Thank you.

Good video! Interesting and entertaining. But I'm mostly here to thank you for changing your camera angle. The bookshelf-halo made so many people happy that I didn't want to rain on their parade, but it was distracting to me. This is nicer. So thanks for this one, even of you do decide to go back to your previos angle in future videos.

How is Nemo reacting to the kittens? Is he teaching them the Way of the Cat? When do we few stream again?

I feel like not having some Slytherins sincerely or insincerely befriend Harry Potter was a wasted opportunity. Slytherins are supposed to be interested in powerful people. Slughorn and Snape are obsessed with Harry and Hermione. The Slytherin students... seem like Hufflepuffs with money. Particularly, I think Harry having a Slytherin girlfriend would have made for all kinds of drama and plot twists.

Jill, thanks for reading these books so we don't have to!

I use the bookshelf framing for vertical videos (easiest ever way to farm engagement on tiktok, people cannot help pointing out the bookshelf halo) but I prefer the middle of the sofa for long form videos 😁

I have heard A Lot about the Dramione world through my partner, and have even enjoyed a few of the ones they recommended to me! Manacled is not one of them though. Also when do we get the full diatribe on ship names?

Slightly confused why your austiopath charges your laptop battery.

In fanfiction, canon did a lot of the worldbuilding for you. I can imagine that being a problem when adapting to original fiction if not handled carefully.

Why oh why oh WHY do people try to give new monetized life to such garbage pairings?? Inflicting Kylo on Rey is still the worst, but Draco of the first 6 books with Hermione? 🤮🙄

I feel like we should all have a cup of tea in hand, sipping it and smiling while we watch the drama happen elsewhere.

I'm amazed--and glad--I managed to miss out on that fandom kerfuffle. But it's been years since I've written any Potterfic.

You have a point. Draco did make an attempt at the first meeting but got publicly slapped down by Potter and after that it was warring camps because the Voldemort war was still on under the surface. Slytherin pupils would have been caught between Death Eaters who hated Harry for existing and the unaware who'd have seen both their peers and Snape being hostile to Harry and followed the mob. More mature Slytherin would have tried to falsely befriend Harry, like Barry Jr did so effectively and devastatingly, but the rest were kids. But, yeah, it would have been an interesting sub plot. Just as well we have fanfic 😉

I've never gotten into fanatic -I wonder why not?- so I definitely appreciate you keeping me in that loop! I find the updates interesting!

Sadly as of June 11, 2025 you can no longer get to irresistible urge on AO3.
