About me:

I like reading fanfiction, working out and hiking. Recently, I've found out that writing fanfiction is just as fun as reading it.

DISCORD

discord (dot) gg/ ERMScYhg - my own new discord server. I am still going to dwell on Dragonspectre's discord, but it was high time to make one of my own.

My P A T R E O N:

Dislikes:

Slash for a main pairing - Not my thing. I've tried reading it, but it just ruins the FF for me. I have nothing against gay people and everyone is free to choose their sexuality.

Needless character bashing. A small amount of bashing is sometimes expected, but doubling down on it just makes most character feel one dimensional.

HP

Fem Harry - never understood that concept, especially since you can simply add a female sibling OC to Harry.

Spineless HP - Harry goes through a lot of things, and he remains quite spineless almost all the way throughout. The things that Harry went through should either break him completely, or make him grow a spine. Almost without exceptions, authority figures and the muggle and magical government have failed HP, yet he still believes/looks up to them, expecting to help in an hour of need.

Harry/Hermione - There are a ton of these already written, and you can find a few decent ones, but that pairing has lost it's luster after reading it a few times too many. Realistically I don't think their personalities match very well and even if they got together, there would be high chance for them to break up sooner or later ( something that is very rarely explored in FF if at all)

Harry/Ginny - Even in canon, that pairing always felt off for me. Dating shortly? sure. But I never saw Harry and Ginny actually marrying happily. Ginny felt like a vapid fangirl and was useless, and then suddenly she became a hyper-competent Mery Sue type of character.

Harry/Cho - Just no

ASOIAF/GoT

Uplifts - They make no sense. Inventing gunpowder and making functional gun? You're more likely to blow yourself up or simply become bankrupt. And if you don't, chances are you're quickly going to make a deadly amount of enemies before you even succeed. Why would your average person know how to make even remotely workable printing press. Even if he succeeds, does he also know a workable recipe for mass producing paper? And who is going to buy his books when the only people who read his books when illiteracy is 99%? Or inventing slew of things and suddenly cramming centuries of technological development derived by competition of thousands of people. Sure, uplifting one or two simple aspects in which the MC is good at, but beyond that it's lame/stupid.

Canals-I love the concept of canals, but if you look at for example the the Panama Canal, it took nearly 35 years to construct it, tens of thousands of people and thousands of deaths. And they used very advanced technology for the time (1881-1914). This canal is also way way shorter than any of the generally proposed westerosi canals.

I really dislike how Baelish can fast travel and teleport an army across vast distances.

Catelyn Tully Stark bashing - I personally GREATLY dislike her as a character, but her motivations are understandable and she is not one dimensional.

What I really hate is that the last 3 seasons of GoT butchered almost all of the characterization. Some of the plot had holes so big, that a whole dragon could fall through them.

Jon Snow/Arianne Martell - Arianne Martell reminds me of Cersei a bit too much. She does have a shitty father and an absent mother, but the point still stands. She's also seven years older than him and she was already fucking around Dorne when he was about 10 years old or so.

Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen - This has been milked way too much, and I find it unlikely. Daenerys is entitled brat who is high on power and plot armor. Jon Snow in the books is very smart and observant and not one for mushy romance or anything.

Likes:

the AU concept. Both HP and the ASOIAF universe have are big worlds you can play with. Especially since the worlds are both described with broad strokes, and you only have good solid information about what generally happens during the canon. This gives you a very broad space to write in. SI's when done well are spectacular.

Exploration of magic in ASOIAF/GOT. G.R.R.M only wrote about magic very indirectly, so there is a broad space in which an author can use his creative juices to work out a magic system. ASOIAF is a high fantasy world by almost every definition and it's a shame magic isn't very scarcely presented.

Non-canon pairings. in both HP and ASOIAF/GOT.
