Well....it's been a long time since I've written on here. Like I said in my updated About section, I have taken advantage of my Fanfiction Facebook page to join writing groups. This act of commiting to using that Facebook and checking in with the groups daily led to me joing Archive of Our Own and participating in writing contests and fests.
I've been able to really connect with likeminded people and read some FanFiction that inspires me and write some FanFiction I am proud of.
What category of FanFiction you ask????
HARRY POTTER of course :)

As I've mentioned before, there are different "ships" within the Harry Potter fandom, some that were canon (or in the original series) and many, many, many that are products of the fans imaginations based on who they wanted to end up together or who they think would work well together (or not to add more drama). I'm actually in a group on Facebook that is meant for these "rare" ships, [Shoutout to Fairest of the Rare]. This allows me and many other writers to step out of their comfort zones and think about new pairings that they wouldn't have originally thought of.
[Shoutout to one of my favs Selena Gomez!!!!]
My "pre Archive ships" were Harry/Hermione and Draco/Hermione (I'm honestly not sure which came first) Based on my Pinterest Harry Potter pins I also liked Draco/Ginny early on.
Thanks to the group and reading more, I am now open to many pairings! Here are some highlights because of course there's too many to name.

Harry/Luna = she gets him on a deeper level than most and he might not understand her or her weird creatures but he recognizes that he doesn't know enough to know if she is wrong so he just accepts it.
Hermione/Charlie = I'm not sure why I started to love this pairing but if I had to guess it would be because he's the one Weasley she did not grow up with and its easy to have her love animals and them bond over that.
Hermione/Theo = this was created simply because of FanFiction because Theo was not very prevalent in the books. Fanon has Theo as the quiet, sweet, smart type that bonds with Hermione over their love of books. A smart, sweet Slytherin...what more could you want?
Harry/Daphne = another one created because of FanFiction because she wasn't prevalent in the books. Fanon has taken Daphne in many different directions but it boils down to Harry with a Slytherin that hasn't specifically wronged him (not that I mind a redemption arc at all! Hello Draco and Pansy)
