Why Did I Read This All Im Literally British Lol

why did i read this all im literally british lol

Need advice, I wanna start writing Harry Potter fanfic after reading your stuff but I feel cause I’m American it’s never gonna be as good or feel true? I know I can get a Brit picker but I feel like even with that the feel of the story is not going to feel real because I never been to Britain and don’t know the culture as deep as someone who lived there all their life so my story will feel American no matter what :(

OK, a couple of things.

1. Please don't let something like "I'm not british" stop you - lots of your readers won't be British either, and it is such a non-issue. There are loads of brilliant non-Brit writers out there that add loads to the fandom, and occasional mistakes or inconsistencies really really really do not matter. Anyone that gets too caught up on stuff like that needs to go touch grass, because it's fanfic, and you are doing it for free.

2. Brit pickers really help! A second pair of eyes helps with all sorts of things. This can be through a discord server or a specific Brit picker (👋). I have been Brit-picking for @copper-dust, who is frighteningly well researched so it's not much work for me at all, but I'm still able to give a quick read through and pick up on those little cultural things. I don't see why having a Brit read through it wouldn't be enough? That's why we volunteer after all! If you PM me I would be happy to help.

3. Good writing comes with practice, and the only way to practice is to go for it, and embrace that it will not be perfect.

4. When I write British help posts, like my food one recently, I'm doing it from the perspective of someone trying to be helpful, and hoping that people will find it interesting. It's not a rule book. Nothing bad will happen if you disagree, or don't imagine things like that, or forget. The UK is not a monolith and there are plenty of Brits out there that disagree with the cultural advice I give - because naturally my experience is not universal. It's not meant to intimidate, so please don't let it. ❤

not me forgetting this is a dream 😭😭

I was naked and for some reason not allowed to put any clothes on (I don’t really remember why) meanwhile everyone around me acted as if it was normal for me to be butt naked at work and ignored it even when I put my boob into their milkshake to get a reaction out of them.

Marauders Relationships Headcanons

james dated alice in his 3rd and 4th years only to make lily jealous, before finally getting with her in his 7th year. first kiss was sirius in 1st year as an "experiment"

sirius is a manwh*re and a gay mess. he has had flings and hookups with about a dozen guys but never had a proper relationship until remus. first kiss was with a french muggle boy when he was 8

remus dated lily in 2nd year. didn't mean much. he then crushed on sirius for years focused on his studies until he got with sirius in their 5th year. first kiss was lily

peter had a girlfriend in his 4th year and her third but he doesn't know how to talk to girls so it ended after 4 months. kissed sirius while he was drunk in 5th year (sirius has kissed everyone lol)

lily dated remus in her second year. had a ravenclaw bf in her 4th year and a hufflepuff bf in her 6th year. got with james in their 7th year. had a crush on marlene for a while. first kiss was severus, as a dare from petunia

marlene and sirius tried to date in their 3rd year, but they both shortly realised they were gay. dated dorcas ever since. her first kiss was with a girl in primary school.

dorcas only dated marlene, she was never interested in relationships before getting with her. her first kiss was marlene

mary dated STRICTLY hufflepuff's. that is the most she can put up with XD

alice dated james in her 4th and 5th year. after dumping james she got with frank in her 6th year. first kiss was james

frank never dated until his 6th year when he asked out alice, who was his first kiss

snape never dated, but had a kiss from lily when he was 9 and crushed on her for the rest of his life 💀

regulus dated a slytherin girl in his year with the surname "Nott", and they were meant to get married, but that clearly didn't turn out well. his first kiss was in his 4th year
