so as we all know good and well I am an unorganized author who barely thinks through her own stories but thinks that she can help others plan their stories because I'm a clown.
but seriously why are y'all coming to me for this shit
THINGS TO DO: — so I plan out my Harry Potter non-aus through the use of the books — when using the books I typically will reread to remember the main and important events — like for example in Records I am currently planning through the end of Order of the Phoenix and the battle at the ministry — I find it easier to do that and figure out the importance your character plays within it, don't have the OC take the place of a canon character or take the lines of a canon character — but also remember to write canon characters like the way they were written, the worst thing you could do is write a canon character unlike themselves — know everything there is to your character, their birthday, their zodiac, their favorite color, their favorite bands, etc. If you can't answer those you don't know your character well enough (lmao y'all should test me on my characters with this) — your character does not revolve around the love Interest or the plot of the books, they can have their own plot going on as well, take for example the character is dealing with problems at home as well as the war and shit — know all of the intricate details first and then you can go from there
THINGS NOT DO: — everyone plans differently, that's just how I plan, you do not have to plan like that — however as we have learned, we do not write canon characters out of canon that's all thank you and good day
