all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

Fake/mirrored ffnet site? Anyone know?

Hi, does anyone know what this site is? This is my entire cloned fanfiction.net account of DELETED fics. I'm posting screenshots because PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE SITE. It made my ad blocker twitch like crazy so who knows what germs are lurking.

Look, I'm pretty easy going about translating, non-commissioned binding and sharing PDFs of my fics that are out of circulation. But I left ffnet for a significant reason. That decision wasn't made overnight. I left reviews and years of fandom interactions behind. That stance meant something to me. So to find 27 stories and my entire fucking account CLONED like this makes me physically ill. I'm actually surprised by how awful this makes me feel :(

If you know of a way to complain or report this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Rizzle

LIATOTZA spoilers

I finished LIATOTZA recently and I have a bone to pick with you. A chewed, gnarly, flesh hanging off the end bone.

LIATOTZA Draco is like the magnum opus of morally grey Draco. Like, I love morally grey characters and having to jump through hoops to justify their actions and accept them. (The final arc of this book did most of the heavy lifting for me on this and I loved love loved it.) However. It has become apparent to me after speaking to some friends who have also read LIATOTZA, that my grey may not be grey at all and perhaps a concerningly darker shade. Because why am I incapable of resisting doing the same thing with Amarov?

I'm a sucker for love triangles and my love-triangled-pavlov-conditioned-monkey-brain immediately decided we were in a love triangle with H x D x A despite having little to no evidence of one. So when he did the thing and I realised, Oh dear, I seem to have misstepped and need to go back to my live commentary tweets and delete every one that said how much I wanted to be alone in a room with Amarov, it was a bit of a shock to the system.

After much good-natured debate and actually finishing the book, I think you did this on purpose. And this is definitely some kind of blame-shifting coping mechanism. I was wondering, humbly despite how I began this ask, if there was a post or an ask anywhere that you might've written more about his character/your process with him?

more importantly, can I fix him?

HAHAHAHA!!!!

I have to tell you that I don't usually enjoy love triangles for probably the same reason I don't enjoy harem or reverse harem. I am a simple woman with simple needs and my brain and loins cannot process more than one love interest at a time.

HOWEVER. What you may be spotting, dear, perceptive reader, is that Alexander Amarov's character arc was different in the original story conception.

What you've read is Amarov Version 2. I initially intended for him to represent a version of Draco that was Draco's worst self. Imagine a Draco who loved her but was so selfish that he didn't want (or didn't know how to want) the best for her. Our Draco skirts this line a little, already (but he looks good in skirts).

But then I decided that it felt wrong because Hermione's too smart to fall for two assholes. I can forgive her one asshole, but both? I can't remember who it was in the story who says something like, 'she has a thing for monsters or monsters have a thing for her'. That would be true if I ran with the love triangle idea.

And the horse you rode in on

I've alread Tweeted about this, but am posting here as well because I've hit like DEFCON 1 in terms of angry. On the mama bear scale, I'm at 'polar bear'.

Look, I know ppl sell fic merch they've designed themselves. It might be based on a word, a phrase, or a representational graphic, etc. It might not even contain any words or imagery connected to the original IP and fic authors might have no issue with it. It's a grey area. I've nearly bought fic merch myself.

But this is MY KID's design, so it's literally a STOLEN PIECE OF ORIGINAL ARTWORK. From a minor. We're not talking ppl selling PDFs, typsets, or book jackets of my fics, this is original art.

And shit, if you're gonna have the audacity to steal and sell, at least center the graphics properly in the mockups. My (then) 13-year old did a better job when SHE MADE THIS GRAPHIC 😑

I cannot find a 'report as stolen' option on Red Bubble, so I've reported both accounts/listings under 'other'.

If you see any more like this, I'd be most grateful if you let me know.

Hey I got a question when are you going to update “The Dragon's Bride (20th Anniversary Edition)”it’s because I really can’t wait for the next chapter no rush😁!?

Oh man, I'm so sorry. I've just been putting it on the back burner for so long that my metaphorical stovetop is now brimming with so many simmering pots. I'll try and get to it this week.

LIATOTZA Draco by Yumira

Just a proud mama sharing what her kid made for her 🤩

LIATOTZA DRACO. Smoking and non-smoking varieties.

He was also shirtless originally but I'm a mother first, heaux second, so I asked her to remove the cigarrate and add a shirt. Ah, the sacrifices we make when we try to be responsible breeders 😪

Coincidentally, Mother First, Heaux Second needs to be its own shirt 🤔

Hello! I am your fan, I really like your fan fiction "liatotza". Can I make one copy of a printed book for myself? This is exclusively for personal use. I hope for your answer)

Hi, no worries at all. Go for it <3

what is one of your favorite aspects about having writing liatotza in the span of a decade?

To be honest, there's probably more that's NOT ideal about my having done that. Some of the common criticisims of the story are that it's too long, disjointed, feels like 3 stories, it's boring, etc, etc. And that's all attributed to writing it over a decade. Also, it's unbeta'd. Yeah... I do not recommend that.

The positive things are that I got to practice my writing while working on something that was entirely self-indulgent. It's akin to actually enjoying working out (I haaate working out). I honestly didn't care if anyone actually read it or not. It was for me to have fun with this crazy concept and I think my best work sometimes comes from trying to shove round pegs into square holes, to make something that shouldn't work, work. Doesn't always work, of course!

Another positive was simply having a WIP to come home to after work, grad school or whatever RL stuff was happening at the time. It was nice to just dissappear into this other world and take the story a little further each time. Even if nothing else was going right, I could still feel like I was 'progressing' on something important to me.

Oh, and the friendships I made along the way within the fandom community have been wonderful! I had that when I was writing The Dragon's Bride (20 years ago!) but then I sort of pulled back to focus on RL before coming back to write some more. By virture of LIATOTZA being a super long WIP, I ended up getting to know a lot of amazing people who followed the story from Day 1. Gluttons for punishment, all of them :P

Lastly (and I think all writers feel this), you learn a lot about yourself when you write a book. I learn something each time I finish a story and when a story is with you for 10 years, it can't not change your life along the way.

i was reading through your liatotza asks and it made me smile seeing that one of your possible names for the babygirl was dahlia and now thats the name of a character in one of your original fictions xD

YOU MUST BE A DAHLIA!??! :D

It's such a lovely name and was on a shortist of names for my daughter.

I'm actually writing one of Dahlia's POV chapters now for Decoding Dahlia and am really enjoying the contrast of her flowery, sweet name with the fact she's this abbrasive, broody, sullen and complety closed off person. It's a big change to my usual fanfic female MCs due to the fact it's the male protaganist that typically ocupies that role!

Hi rizzle! If our favorite flavor of zombie apocalypse that was LIATOTZA were to happen irl, would you try to survive it? Why?

HAHAHAHA! Love this question. OK, so my family has a zombie apocalypse preparedness plan in place and we have also had some version of 'training' for it. Even my 15-year old knows what she has to do in the event my husband and I shuffle off the mortal coil. And if we're talking about LIATOTZA's slow-moving zombies, heck, I'm not just trying to survive, I'm definitely surviving, baby! Our planning would also apply to surviving other kinds of apocalyptic situations with the exception of nuclear. Not too invested in suriving that.

Hello, I just you would like to know that someone is selling PDFs of your fanfic on Etsy. Their shop name is azraelmorningstar and I have included a link so hopefully you can find it.

Ah, yes. A few other people have mentioned this as well. Thanks for the heads up, friend.

The oysterberry fuckfruit scene in LIATOTZA will remain one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Hahah, you know I still get asked if it's a real fruit...
