Am I signing myself up for disaster with my fanfiction idea?
Okay, so first off; i read through the rules and I honestly wasn't sure under which thread or flair this goes; so for now i've labeled it under 'discussion'; if it's not correct and has to go under something else, please tell me rather than just removing the post. I honestly couldn't properly find it back and I'm not the greatest with reddit; thank you!
I'm working on ideas for a fanfiction I want to write. I'm going to try list everything as simple and analytical as i can, without splurging in ideas (which for now would just become super messy).
| Fandom | Harry Potter & Marauders |
|---|---|
| Place I'll post | AO3 |
| Genre | Fantasy, tragedy, romance, coming of age |
| Genre (fandom) | Angst heavy, hurt/comfort, dark fic (in the way of themes it will deal with), deconstruction with a sliver of fix-it, whump |
| Other tags | Time travel, soulbonding, blood adoption, cryo-stasis, grief/mourning, trauma, OC, found family, ghosts, post-canon, pre-canon, orphan, identity crisis, redemption arc, healing, backstory/origin story, mental health issues, plot twists, animal transformation, bonding, character development, death, destiny/fate, Fanon/headcanon, Major character death (known), morally grey/ambiguous characters, nightmares, slow build, war (indirect; mentioned) |
| Pairing | F/M |
| Main characters | OC (Lyra Jane Lupin-Snape-Black) |
| Ships | Lyra x Fred (soulbond); Lyra x Fred x George (best friends); Lyra x Sirius (father and daughter); Lyra x Remus (father and daughter); Lyra x Severus (adopted father and daughter); Lyra x Regulus (cousins and best friends) |
| Tropes wanting to use | adoptional upbringing change |
| Length | Saga/3-part fic |
| Different time periods | part 1: 1990-1993 + quick overview of 1995-1998 |
Okay, so i tried putting as much as i could organised without idea dumping. If you'd see all this information of a fic, would you even start on it? would you be interested by it? what advice would you give or what things would I definetly need to look out for while writing it?
Thanks in advance!
