Okay guys, here's the deal but first I have a thing to say:

It has been 3 months since I announced the DFO would be back, along with Footnotes,... and every other fics I've written for the Harry Potter Community. While announcing they'd return on AO3, I also said I would finish writing the ongoing fics for you to read them. The thing is, I really fucking tried but I can't. I have written like 3 more chapters ever since the announcement but my heart is not in it. I don't feel the spark, it feels so forced and it negatively impacts the quality of my writing. I can't produce more for this fandom, no matter how much I try. I guess everything that happened truly ended things for me and I am truly sorry about that.

Either way; I wanna stay true to my word and meanwhile I can't provide more, I will still reupload the completed fics. About those which will likely forever be WIPS, would you still want them uploaded again or should I stick with the completed ones?

Alright guys, I heard you!

As promised, the DFO will return on AO3 on the 1st of December! Bear with me cause my flat collapsed and I'm currently writing from an hotel room so idk how long it'll take me to finish the whole thing BUT for sure you'll get Outsider, Downfall up to year 3 and Outbreak so mark the date in your calendar 🫶🏻

Byyyyye

Update regarding the DFO‼️

So... I'm ngl, I thought we were like 3 reading my silly fics and that I was one of those readers myself. I did not realise so many people were invested in the story I've written but ever since deleting my fics, many people asked me for infos and perhaps even some links where they could read it offline. Today, I even stumbled accross a Reddit post asking for people to share the drive versions 😭 Saying I'm flabbergasted doesn't even begin to cover it.

Therefore, because I now opened my eyes and realised how loved these fics were, I decided to give this fandom my last present ever as an author if it is something you guys would want (answer in the poll below).

I'll take your answer into consideration so please vote and, if you guys are interested in seeing them back on AO3 (as in, the official versions and not those which were edited a thousand times), then I'll be posting the WHOLE DFO (which includes Downfall, Fallout, Outsider, Outbreak and Outcome) on AO3 again.

I am done with Harry Potter.

A while ago, I posted a statement regarding JKR and her bigotry and how it affects me and my perception of the Harry Potter world. Recently, it reached new lengths when she proudly announced using Harry Potter's money gain to fund an anti-trans organisation.

This is my last straw. From now on, I do not wish to associate with Harry Potter in any way possible when she purposefully weaponised it to cause harm to an entire community — a community a lot of us are part of and a lot of us defend, rightfully so. In my opinion, human lives should always come first, especially before fictional characters.

Disclaimer: My next words will sound a little harsh or blunt but aren't meant to put the blame on anyone interacting with Harry Potter still. I believe it is important to raise awareness about the topic regardless and if you feel attacked, maybe ask yourself why — genuinely!

It is our role as a fandom to keep a work alive and this goes without saying that the last thing keeping Harry Potter alive today is mostly people trying to reassure themselves about how Harry Potter belong to them because they claimed and rewrote it through headcanons. I would know, I too used to think this way. However, by doing this, we erase the reality of the political dimension behind our consumption of Harry Potter. By putting it in the spotlight, we bring attention to it. Every fan art, every fanfiction and videos or any other kind of content created related to Harry Potter is free ad for her. It reaches audiences which could somehow become future customers and future member of the community. The fandom feeds the fandom, always. That is something we must become aware of.

By consuming and creating content around this universe, we indirectly fund these anti-trans organisations JKR is so proud of. That is the reality of what we do, as a fandom.

Of course, I'm not saying this today to make you feel guilty or anything. I just think it is important to highlight the underlying truth instead of these self-reassurances we usually feed ourselves with: we are part of the problem, whether we like it or not. It sucks, it shouldn't be like this, but it is and I will no longer stand for it.

As a result, my works will be gone from AO3 as soon as I find a moment to do it because I'm still extremely busy like I mentioned two weeks ago but rest assured it'll be gone within the week. I'm sorry for those of you who hoped to read more, feel free to send your questions and I'll tell you what was supposed to happen if you still wanna know.

Thank you for reading! Consider this as my goodbye 👋🏼

Personal issues arose so I cannot post today (or very late at night). I apologise for the inconvenience!

Hi...Im deeply disheartened with everything happening in the UK regarding trans people and how their identity are no longer legal. I just wanted to let you know I won't ever write anything related to Harry Potter again, as soon as I'm done with the DFO cause that's... That woman deserves nothing. She's vile and disgusting. I don't wanna be part of this any longer. When I first found out about her views, I thought she was just a terf with a very narrow mindset. She's more than that and I regret underestimating her influence.

Truth be told, I'm writing this while being upset about everything going on so it's messy and all but I reach a point I'm not even sure i don't want to drop everything and quit it here. The only thing keeping me going with the DFO right now is all the hard work I've put into bringing these characters to life as well as the massive world building and lore.

Anyways, if I ever leave the fics unfinished, that'll be why.

Remember, trans rights are human rights, always.

Today marks the first year anniversary of the end of The Art of Falling (In Love).

Thank you to everyone who supported my work and left kind words in the comments. I'm glad this silly idea I had over looking at a painting at the museum turned into this beautiful fic. I've reread it recently and I still absolutely love it. To those of you who haven't read it yet, it's a Jegulus fic setting in a Greek Mythology AU so that's fun to read if you're into that 🥰
