Okay so I had never even heard of Manacled until I said I was making this vid and my DMs were filled with "BUT ARE YOU READING MANACLED?!!!!" and i got a straight up persuasive essay from a friend that has me thinking I should (but also shouldnt lmaooo) so...Should I do a Manacled reading vlog reaction/plot summary? For this vid I talked a lot less than I thought I would because I simply enjoyed the story but I have a feeling for Manacled y'all might want the actual plot points. Let me know!

To me this fic is the funniest thing I've ever read. Like out of all the stories I've read, watched, listened to ect. Nothing has made me laugh as much as this, it got my style of humor down, I was literally in tears in some parts. But the thing I liked the most was that Hermione was written as super smart, super busy, and absolutely committed and it didn't waver. I hate when I'm reading something and a character is written one way but all of a sudden they see someone hot and all their ambition goes out the window. Like no, pull them panties up you have work!

PSA. Please, if you decide to make any vids on fics, push the “it’s illegal to buy and sale fanfics” agenda, especially in the Harry Potter fandom. People are coming to it from BookTok and treating it like it’s a publishing house and they are kind of tearing the fandom to shreds atm. Popular writers are deleting their works to avoid their works being stolen and to avoid being sued or having it backlash on the fanfic sites that they are posted on. It’s getting pretty bad and people are getting really worried. And please promote proper fanfic etiquette for any new readers you steer towards fanfic! It’s so important right now And if you do decide to read Manacled then it really is top tier!! It’s amazing!! I hope this didn’t seem rude! I really love your videos, & Thank you so much!! 💕

This was so fun to watch! Fanfic can be such a broad range of work, and you can really find your niche if you look hard enough (ao3 tags are your friend!!). And every fandom has its own popular tropes and headcanons, so if you are interested in reading more I might suggest looking up a fandom or pairing that you like on ao3 and going through the tags (and you can filter out tags or relationships to avoid seeing things you don’t like), it’s a really great tool to find fic you want to read. ao3 also has general rating tags that the author can choose to use that lets you know the age rating / if there’s explicit content which might also be helpful for you if you want to avoid smutty fanfic.

Once one of my fanfics is ending, I’m already opening new tabs with the next ones, so when I finish the last page of one, I jump straight into the next. It’s paradise. So many creative scenarios, so many original plot lines, so many of the characters I already love so much, but put through situations they would never go through in the original material (for better or worse lol). It has been my favorite form of escapism to ever exist. It’s really healthy for me, personally.

Please read Manacled. It is probably one of the best pieces of literature I’ve ever read. It’s so popular that just recently SenLinYu, the author, announced that it’s going to be taken down and rewritten into an actual book with original characters and worldbuilding. So if you’re going to read it I’d do it now. 👏🏼

cari, i know you said this wouldn’t become a “thing,” but if you DO decide to foray into the fanfic world again, there is an option to download fics as an epub file! it’s much much easier to read than a pdf. also, this whole video is pure gold ❤

Your friends taste sounds a bit like mine. I’ve read fanfiction on and of for years, but I’ll switch between the weirdest genres and types of books. When I bumped into this fic I hadn’t read any Dramione in ages as I read so many popular ones I didn’t like, but the premise for this one sounded hilarious. It was definitely a good ride, but it dragged a bit much in the last half for my taste. Definitely one of my favourites of I’ve read through.

Little hack: also my favourite is Drarry, It's been so many years with them that they are almost canon for me, and the best way to read Dramione is thinking they are new caracthers. I even put them new names 😂Every time I see a D of Draco my mind say "Darius" or "Dorian" and for Hermione, "Helene"

@@RedtsunamiTed This is so nice to hear because I see k-drama with my mother❤ I haven't read a lot of Dramione sooo I don't have a lot to reccomendations and Drarry because I started reading two years ago in English, my favourites are "Running on air" by eleventy7 and "Call me, Won't you?" by aelys_althea, none has spicy/+18 scenes. Do you have any to reccomendation?

Also, you were right about the fanfic being able to hold on its own, so much so that it has actually been announced that the author is going to publish it traditionally!

....I would say for me anyway, fanfiction became an addiction. It still is an addiction. But there are worse things to be addicted to. I was writing it before I even knew what fanfiction was. I started with just reading it but then moved into writing it as well, and honestly, it has really improved how I write.

as a serious fanfic lover, i hope this becomes a thing😂 also if you download the program calibre onto your mac, and then put the epub download of the fic into it, you can remove the spaces between the paragraphs and will be able to chance spacing and font once it’s on your kindle. i’ve done this and created covers for so many fanfics at this point. it’s great

@@caricanread You definitely won't regret reading Isolation! Literally the most accurate depiction of how a Draco/Hermione dynamic would pan out and their romance progression is actually realistic IMO. So beautifully and tragically written. If you were to read any other fanfic, I really hope this one is on your radar

Omg, i stopped your video because the title sounded fantastic and I wanted to read it immediately! Never really heard of fanfic so I gave it a try with this one. Thank you soooo much for letting us know. I loved the book. I agree with most of what you said about it. Some parts are really dragged out too much but... Who knew it was so extremely satisfying to see Hermione ending up with Draco. Now i hate with who she originally ends up with. I needed that adult dramioneverse in my life. Simple, thanks❤

Cari I’m not a smut lover either you MUST read “The Disappearances of Draco Malloy” It is written very true to the original books and every plotline feels so fitting. Also their romance is so believable and does work to actually heal the things that happened between them when they were young. 10/10
