So I literally only just realised that this was sitting in my inbox. Oops. Still, better late than never? (Thanks for asking me, Dessi!) Choosing my favourite 5 fics I’ve written is tough because I’ve been writing fanfic for a Really Long Time and most of it is total crap, but I’ll do my best!
1.Getting it Right Rose/Scorpius. They hate each other. Like, so much that they almost kind of like each other. But mostly hate … mostly. This story is my baby. Sixteen year old me had absolutely no idea how big it would get. If I only get one fic to be my entire legacy for the rest of my life, I’d be happy with GIR being it. Bury me with this fic.
2.That One Time I Fell In Love Fred W. II/OC, same universe as GIR. Fred is a douchebag who loves ‘em and leaves ‘em. Emma is the girl who gets under his skin. I couldn’t possibly pick every story from GIR World, so I pick this one. Fred is stupid 99% of the time, but he is my precious son. I love this world and these characters so much, ngl.
3.All The Time In The World The first 24 hours after the end of the Second Wizarding War. This is kind of old now (like, 2011?) but I put a lot of thought behind this one. It’s basically a giant headcannon of what I like to think happened when the war ended. Expect much angst and Romione.
4.Six Goals in One Weasley Year AU. The Weasley siblings each make a ridiculous goal that must be achieved by the following year. This fic is insane and cheesy and utterly ridiculous, but I kind of love it? Even thought I wrote it so insanely long ago (I think 2010?) but there’s Romione, a dragon, a wedding at the end, so maybe it’s worth trucking through the bad writing quality?
5.Much Ado About Rosie Rose/Scorpius. Based on the Shakespeare play. You know the one. A oneshot that I desperately hope to turn into a full-length story one day, if I ever somehow manage to find the inspiration to get it done. It is silly, but isn’t all Shakespeare?
@tarmac-like-arteries and I love to cause each other massive amounts of pain with Check Please headcanons because we LIVE to S U F F E R and this is one of my better ideas.
So by the time 2016 rolls around, Bitty and Jack are out to the public. After the heat dies down a little, someone (maybe the PR team, maybe Bitty, maybe Tater, maybe all three) convinces Jack he needs a social media presence. So he gets a twitter. He mostly just retweets the @FalcsOfficial account and posts artsy photos and he is the softest of bros.
After Trump makes his locker room comment, Shitty absolutely loses his fucking cool. He goes on this huge twitter rant about rape culture and toxic masculinity and how those with privilege have a responsibility to cultivate a safe space for marginalized identities. He gets into sports culture and “locker room talk.” He calls out Trump’s racist garbage and all the Republicans just NOW pulling their support. Jack retweets a string of those tweets and in doing so incites a fucking SHIT STORM. At some point someone @s him:
Snorticia Adams @boxofrocks4u
@JLZimmermann Who would even WANT to share a locker room with that sentient yam?
Jack Zimmermann@JLZimmermann
@boxofrocks4u I’d rather change on the ice.
Eric Bittle@omgcheckplease
@JLZimmermann @boxofrocks4u Okay
👀
There are like ten Buzzfeed articles about this by the end of the day and Tumblr loses its goddamn mind. Jack just keeps getting all of these angry tweets about how he should stay out of politics and stick to hockey. Of course eventually some slurs and general derogatory shit gets thrown around and Jack eventually responds:
Jack Zimmermann@JLZimmermann
A lot of people are tweeting me to let me know they’re shocked by my political leanings.
Jack Zimmermann@JLZimmermann
I don’t know what they expected. I’m a bisexual Canadian.
Jack Zimmermann@JLZimmermann
Also fuck Trump.
Shitty Knight @Mr.Shitty
@JLZimmermann I’M SO PROUD OF YOU. WE’RE GETTING MARRIED, YOU FUCKING ADONIS.
Eric Bittle@omgcheckplease
@JLZimmermann
Is twelve pies too many pies? Too late. I’ve made my boyfriend twelve pies.

@omgcheckplease
@JLZimmermann This is why the dietitians are always yelling at you, Zimmboni.
James and Lily have been dating for a couple months. It’s like their fifth fight and Lily cannot believe James and she says “are you–” but she catches herself and knows better than to say “serious” because he will make a joke about Sirius so she quick edits to “are you kidding” and he says, without paying attention “he’s Sirius, I’m james” and then he realizes his mistake and he’s not sure if he wants to marry her for knowing him so well or breakup with her because she doesn’t appreciate his puns
In their seventh fight James is pissed to high heaven at Lily for missing his Quidditch match which he did awesome at and yeah she feels a little guilty but she can’t help it that she’s a prefect and if a third year girl is crying and needs a walk to the infirmary lily is gonna help her and James says “you chose a 13-year-old girl over me? Are you serious rn?”
And without missing a beat lily says “he’s Sirius, I’m lily.”
And the entire common room goes quiet like everyone in a fucking dead hush and sirius, years later, tells the story at their wedding as “that was the moment I gave James my blessing to propose”
hey just a wee thing if you’re an aspiring creator of historical fiction like moi
if you’ve ever sat down to write your story and thought ‘ok but what is the historical backdrop for these characters on this particular month, or this day, in this country, in this city’
the british newspaper archive [link] has literally millions of archived newspaper pages going all the way back to the 1700s
so if you’re like me and thinking ‘ok but what was going on in edinburgh in may 1914??’ this archive has got you covered, pal
