I hate the number of fanfics that are like "canon happened until this point, post-Hogwarts" and where Harry breaks up with Ginny to have a relationship with Draco Malfoy because he "discovers he is gay"

JUST
MAKE
HIM
BISEXUAL

He had relationship with girls he fell in love with girls in canon, and the past of your fic is the canon one right? why oh why don't you just make him bisexual

@Hiraelle May I interest you in my fanfic, where Harry is so amazingly bisexual? Like. A lot.

@Wsteria I'm reading it I thnk lol, I'm there http://archiveofourown.org/works/10588629/chapters/23412363

@Hiraelle Wheeeeee. <3

@Wsteria it's fun to read for now, I just think it's going fast and there is too much tell, not show - but in 180k words for the seven years? I knew that much going in

also it's your first try at HP fanfic? It's already better than so much of the fandom

@Hiraelle *nod* My fanfic style is one-draft no-edits long-drabbles, so far, which isn't for everyone. This fic becomes somewhat more of a traditional narrative in later books, because that's where the canon divergence is, but it might not be your cup of tea anyroad.

@Wsteria oh I'll continue it bc it's nice to read and some stuff made me laugh

like that :
" "Maybe Headmaster Dumbledore knows about it and, um, indulges it? Like Hagrid. Hagrid does stuff that's pretty, er."

The other kids sitting around the table nodded. Hagrid did do things that were er. "

I mean I *tend* to prefer detailed fics? but it's not an absolute

(I do think that if we didn't already know the characters it wouldn't work but well - it's fanfiction, we know the characters)
