[ Inktober 2016.10.10 - Cho Chang ]

Cho is one of my favorite characters despite all the hate for her, especially since she was an Asian in a sea of mostly European characters and I could relate to her a lot!

(I’m going to be busy with midterms for the next week or two, so I’ll try keep my art streak going with some Inktober doodles~)

I know a ton of people have said this before but for the love everything PLEASE stop treating AO3 like instagram. It is NOT cringe to comment on an old story. It’s an archive old stories are still meant to be found and read. Please think about interacting with the fic you read: at least kudos if you read it, a comment would be ideal. The authors will be over the moon. I guarantee you not a single author is going to ask why someone is commenting on an older fic.

I started writing Twist ten years ago, it was the third or so story I’d ever written and basically I didnt know what I was doing. Twist started as a one-shot, me pondering what Harry would’ve felt if realized he was gay after 4th year and not sure how to come to terms with that fact along with everything else that wasgoing on in his life. I wanted Harry to have a friend to talk to and Cedric, one of the great undeveloped characters in the series, seemed a natural person to help Harry. After I posted the one-shot I started wondering if I could write a hp/dm and still follow canon. And Twist was born.

However! I still didnt know what the heck I was doing and had no beta. So I just wrote and posted it, and gradually got a little better at writing as I went along (with 300k there is a lot of opportunity to improve). About halfway through I read Faithwood’s wonderful Fic writing 101 and learned that epithets were a no-no. Oops.

Tl/dr: in honor of Twist’s tenth anniversary I am working with Omi_ohmy and editing the entire thing. We just finished the first five chapters (well, prologue + chapters 1-4) and I’ve posted the updated chapters on AO3, the version on ff will remain the original.

Twist factoid: I added the prologue to Twist after writing and posting the first four chapters because I realized the thing was presenting as all fun and fluff and I knew what was coming and wanted to give some forewarning.
