Announcement Harry/Ginny fanfiction megathread

220 Upvotes

I have taken it upon myself to create a new megathread so new fics can be added. This thread will basically be a transcription of the old one by u/goodlife23, with additional categories and contributions of my own. I'll be updating this list intermittently, so please have some patience. Cheers, and have a good day.

Edit: Credits go to u/goodlife23. u/PsychoGeek, u/blandge, u/bonesda, u/A_Dozen_Lemmings, u/FloreatCastellum, and u/stefvh.

Edit 2: Under advisement from u/Gin110881, please keep your discussions in the comment I put in for discussion so as not to clog up the area.

Edit 3: Our Discord server is here. Play nice, or get banned (I assume).

Edit 4: Our Discord server has moved here with me as the new owner/admin/Dark Lord. We have colours and shit now. Also banning capabilities. When I say play nice, play nice.

Announcement New Fan Art Guidelines

15 Upvotes

Hey, folks!

Due to the influx of posted fan art (not a bad thing in of itself!), I’m just here to leave a couple of casual reminders to ensure that artists receive proper credit/appreciation for their hard work.

  1. You are welcome to post fan art, but please a) provide proper credit to the artist, and b) do not alter the image from its original form without permission. This provides an excellent overview of why this is a problem, and this explains how to avoid cropping/reposting and give proper credit.

  2. Please do not bash posted fan art. Everyone is entitled to an opinion on how characters should look, but there is a big difference between a comment like “Hmm, that doesn’t match my vision” and a comment like “That is the ugliest Ginny I’ve ever seen.” Our same general rules for fanfic apply to fanart: Watch how you phrase things in public spaces. This is not a snark subreddit, so please don’t treat it as such.

In the meantime, we’ve added a new rule: All fanart must be properly credited. If we continue to have multiple uncredited posts, we may have to disable the image uploading function, which is no fun for anyone!

Thanks, and hope everyone is staying cool out there if you’re in a hot part of the world right now 🥵

Discussion Ginny could have helped in horcrux hunt

8 Upvotes

I don’t know why JKR didn’t include Ginny in horcrux hunt. NO, I AM NOT SAYING SHE SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH TRIO BREAKING THE UNDERAGE RULES or SOMETHING. But, given that she was the very first person that had interacted with young Riddle’s very first horcrux, Ginny could have given some information about Voldemort's past.

Tom Riddle says he too shared his dark secrets with Ginny. Now we don't know what all dark secrets he poured into her. Considering that the diary Riddle was 16 yrs old and it was around that age Tom Riddle met his uncle Morfin, killed his father and grandparents, took the ring and asking questions about horcurxs to Slughorn - Ginny must know few things about Tom Riddle.

Not like Ginny was possessed when he was sharing his secrets hence couldn't remember or Dumbledore used some forgetful spell on her, she remembers whatever happened when she was in her senses.

Harry mentions in POA that Ginny too looked as worse as him when dementors attacked. Visions of petrifications and Tom Riddle's secrets must have been a torture for her. No wonder it took 2-3 years for her become her normal self.

Ofcourse JK wanted the trio to know about Horcruxes all by themselves but not including Ginny of all is🤷‍♀️. Even Dumbledore having a lil talk with Ginny in end of COS(but yeah that wasn't the time) or in later years would have done a lot. Unless Harry or Dumbledore didn't want to force Ginny to remember all the sinister things Tom said to her, it would have been good plot to include Ginny. It also shows why Ginny and Harry are compatible as they had connection to Voldemort.

(Sorry for any errors, not a native speaker.)

Discussion I don't think Harry and Ginny have a power dynamic

18 Upvotes

I've seen fanfics and headcanons forcing a power dynamic on Harry and Ginny's relationship, with Ginny taking charge (mostly). And I absolutely wholeheartedly disagree. I don't think we need to force a power dynamic when it was clearly said that they were equals. I really dislike the whole dom/sub dynamic on Harry and Ginny. I understand if giving up control in a relationship means trust and vulnerability but you can be vulnerable without having to be submissive. Letting someone in and being devoted is far different from being submissive. I've also seen arguments against this and using Harry's trauma as an excuse to make him submissive to her. For someone with Harry's trauma, I think it would be completely the opposite. Won't it be much harder for him give up control? Won't it actually give him a craving for more control because he had to fight for it all his life? Ginny had her fair share of her trauma and was litreally possessed. It would be hard for her to give up control as well. Again, you can be vulnerable without being submissive. For Harry, it would still be harder considering the fact he litreally shared his body with another soul, that too of his mortal enemy, for sixteen years. Using his trauma as an excuse to force the dom/sub dynamic is very cheap. Why do we act like being vulnerable means being dominated? Being vulnerable is letting your guard down, opening up, letting someone see your fears and wounds. Being submissive is letting someone else control you. It takes immense strength and spine to vulnerable, which I believe they both learn. And I don't think either should take the backseat just to show they trust the other. They can function as two people who respect each other's autonomy and deeply love and trust each other enough to let their guard down without letting the other comoletely control them.

Discussion Ginny is better than Female Malfoy for Harry

52 Upvotes

I can understand preferring Female Malfoy from a story perspective, but I don't think she is really better when you examine Harry's real interests.

Harry grew up abused and without love, he needs a loving family that can make him feel included and protected. Ginny and the Weasleys offer him that kind of unconditional love, Ginny is warm to him.

The kind of Tsundere love Malfoy would offer Harry doesn't really allign well with how much he has already endured. Why would he need a sassy girlfriend that likes to make depreciative jokes about him? What about in ten or twenty years, would she be a distant wife? What about having Death Eathers as his in-laws? People that were partially responsible for killing Harry's own family? I can see that narratively Malfoy makes much more sense to the audience and it makes a more compelling story, but I was Harry I would stick with Ginny, he needs a loving family.

It would be like Naruto ditching Hinata for Sakura, but much worse, in a way, because Sakura had a neutral background while Malfoy and her family were outright hostile to homicidal towards Harry.

Discussion Is this recent Female Draco trend going to cause another rise in Ginny bashing?

23 Upvotes

I've heard some claim that Harry and a Female Draco would be better romance than Ginny, which I strongly disagree. I honestly don't understand this trend at all or how it blew up (and it's fanning the already hot flames on discourse about HP in general) but I also worry that another wave of Ginny/Hinny bashing will explode because of this.

Discussion Harry's characterization in fanfics

42 Upvotes

This might just be me and I'm sure there are plenty fanfics out there and I haven't found them, but Harry's characterization in almost all the fics I've come across gives me the ick. He is always so passive and awkward and it is so frustrating to read. It's like movie!Harry with some sass, not the book!Harry I look for. IMO, book!Harry is far different from movie!Harry. Movie!Harry is a side character in his own story. He is passive, quiet and doesn't have the edge and independence that book!Harry possessed. Book!Harry really grew in his personality from book 1 to 7. He was confident, charismatic, had an ego, had a sharp tongue, was witty, powerful and a natural leader. He also had real flaws like his hot temper, sometimes he was too insecure and other times too arrogant. And he was genuinely funny. But the Harry I come across in fanfics is way too awkward, passive, and a someone who blushes at every small insteraction. He is also the weird outcast when book!Harry was genuinely liked by half the school. DA leader, Qudditch captain, athletic, highly sought-after.. Movie!Harry would never be able to pull off something like that! Fanon!Harry is also constantly out-witted and out-sassed by Ginny which annoys me so much because their banter is teasing and flirting back and forth. Then there is also the "confident Ginny takes charge of flustered Harry" trope. I dislike that trope so much and it always turns me away from any fic. I like their banter going back and forth. And I really don't think someone like Ginny would fall for a dim-witted, passive, by-stander. She fell for the charismatic leader with a spine who matched her wit and passion. If she is fire, he is gasoline.

Edit: Apologies for the bad grammar 😅

Fic/Art Promotion More Than Life - A Hinny Orpheus/Eurydice retelling - Chapter 6 is live!

Post image
15 Upvotes

I've forgotten to post here for the last 4 chapters y'all! 😭 But Chapter 6 (and of course chapters 3, 4, and 5 lol) of my Orpheus/Eurydice retelling fic More Than Life is all the way up on ay oh three dot org!

Excerpt from ch. 6: Books of the Dead:

“So,” Hermione said weakly, “so you’re going to bring Ginny back from the — the dead — because of what you saw in a dream?”

Harry knew the look on his face was pathetic. “It was real, Hermione, I swear.”

“Harry, do you hear yourself?” She came to the very edge of her seat, hands pressed together in front of her beseechingly. “Seeing your loved ones after they die, dreams or otherwise — I mean, isn’t that something that just happens when you grieve? You see resemblances to them everywhere, in crowds and pictures and things?”

“It wasn’t a resemblance, it was — I know it sounds mad, but I know it was her. I saw her. She was real, she…”

Harry held out his arms, remembering her turning to bedsheets between them, a recollection so painful he briefly lost his words.

“I just know she’s not nowhere,” he said finally.

“But Harry,” Hermione insisted, “how do you know?”

Hey guys, as the title Says what do we think Hinny call each other and does is change at different stages of their lives ?

Personally, I don’t see any nicknames for Harry, but I love Gin for Ginny, and she only allows Harry to call her that.

I also see them calling each other Babe, especially Harry, and later, when they have kids « darling » ?

What do you think ?

Listen, I just finished this Fic and as happy as I am that Part 2 was not abandoned, I am disappointed that it didn’t continue. I understand and respect the author’s choice to not continue. The soul bond was written so well, their interactions with each other, with the people around them (especially the twins and McGonagall.) I felt like it was just getting going, Ginny got her feather, Molly seemed to finally accept them as one?!? AHHH!

I am distraught.
