Uncensored PSA

Uncensored PSA

It has come to our attention that people in the world out there feel at liberty to use the word 'uncensored' in their Dramione account branding. We’d like to issue a few statements on the matter, just to keep things clear.

First, we’ve been asked whether any of these uncensored accounts that keep popping up are affiliated with us. To avoid further confusion, we’d like to plainly state that there are no sanctioned offshoots of DU. Trust us, we’d be the first to tell you if there was. We’re loud like that. 

Second, it’s a terrible idea. Do you know how many times we’ve pointed to Rule 3 and reiterated “you must remember the writer behind the fic and treat everyone with respect,” only to hear, “but I thought you were uncensored”? Too many. It gets really old, so to anyone considering an uncensored brand, we advise against it while you still have time to make better different choices. Pick something safe from annoying jokes, like “DramioneUncut.”

People would definitely approach that with the circumspection it deserves. 

Lastly, we have, as of today, spiritually claimed the word uncensored in a Dramione context and expect royalties from anyone attempting to profit from our extremely valuable and highly-in demand branding (we know it still has a certain allure, despite trying to warn you off). Usage fees can be paid to www.goficme.com/nobodysuncensoredbutus.

Thank you for reading. You may now return to your regularly scheduled subspace. 

TLDR: There have been a couple of accounts/spaces over the last year that have popped up with the uncensored label. If the mod team hasn’t posted about it here, it's unrelated to the sub. Also no, goficme.com is not a real website.

Edit: The DramioneUncensored Reddit user account is, clearly, affiliated. Realized I should probably call that out 😄

Do you refer to fics as “books”- why or why not ?

I’ve noticed it a lot more lately, a lot of folks referring to fics as books. And my first thought is that fics are fics and books are books- and I have also spotted some conversations in comments in the wild and observed a few things but here are my thoughts

Why:
Honestly a lot of fic writers are just as good as published writers with limited sources, calling their work “books” could be a compliment

I’ve ever seen some people writing “I can’t call this fic a fic, it’s too good to be a fic”

Why not:
On the other hand, calling a fic a book could be a disservice to the author depending on how they feel about it. If they put out the work as a fic, it’s a fic.

It spread misinformation about what fan fiction is, and best practices that are observed in the fan fic community.

It may cause fics to inadvertently end up on reviewing platforms or be critiqued the same way traditional books are- which is considered to be frowned upon.

Hogwarts: A home (for hot people only)

I am currently reading Hogwarts: A home, I am at about 13%, and I have to share how much I love that the author made these decisions:

  1. put all the older teenagers into one dorm
  2. the story only follows hot people
  3. Draco is dying of jealousy, wants to murder Theo for breathing the same air as her and literally does nothing to change anything, maybe even actively makes things worse.

I feel like this is one of those stories that are written purely for the authors own entertainment and it shows and I love it.
It reads like a TV show!

Difference between pure blood and muggleborn blood in fics

In many fics I've read there are anti-muggleborn curses put on things like books/artefacts that only affect muggleborns as well as wards that block muggleborns from passing through. This confuses me because if there is supposedly no difference between pure/muggleborn/mixed blood, how do these curses and wards recognise blood status? To my understanding, you either have magic or you don't, the blood is the same. the differences between "pure-bloods" and the others are only cultural.

How funny would it be if Hermione entered a room or read a book which she supposedly can't touch because it is warded against muggleborns, but the joke is on them because magic can't bar her from it because there isn't actually a difference in blood.

What do y'all think?
