damn-those-nargles:

emperor-oj:

Gryffindor: 

• the hemingway’s of the world
• their writing is full of angst and personal experience
• can often come across as anecdotic- they take what has happened to them and apply it to a broader spectrum
• there is an underlying current of passion in everything they write
• many late nights w/ coffee because they were suddenly inspired at 2am while nearly dreaming

Ravenclaw: 

• the fantasy writers
• create whole worlds bc they aren’t satisfied with the one’s they are in
• stories often make a statement on real world issues in a creative way
• prefers to use a typewriter/hand-write their stories
• shares their ideas with very few
• almost never finishes a story bc they have so many half-finished ideas swirling in their heads

Slytherin: 

• the realistic writers
• creates painfully authentic, multi-faceted characters with abundant flaws
• their writings aren’t meant to teach a lesson; simply to share a story
• draw inspiration from those around them; MAJOR people watchers
• their writing is highly sophisticated and not easy to digest; you have to pay attention to every detail
• prefer writing in the 3rd person; like to take an omnipotent view as a way of removing themselves from the piece
• take great pride in their work and don’t reveal it until it’s at a standard that they approve of (and that bar is HIGH) 

Hufflepuff: 

• the poets
• a lot of YA authors are hufflepuff
• create beautiful imagery in everything they write
• their attention to detail is impeccable; they want to ensure that what they imagine is what the audience also envisions
• their writing is raw with emotion and makes the reader feel for the characters
• 1st person stories
• very open/receptive to criticism; seeks out ways to improve upon their creation
• their stories always have a moral that they want the world to know
• everything they write is a piece of them

Oh fuck this hits home
