Just want to let you know that I and some fellow House of the Dragon fanfiction writers have gotten together and set up a Fanfiction Hub!
The Discord has spaces for general chat, character discussion (depraved and romantic) and fandom art. Writers and readers have access to fanfiction update posts, WIP threads and writing resources. Writers also have their own chat spaces to seek beta support, general advice and recommendations from other writers in the server.
Synopsis: As the second daughter of King Viserys, you experience firsthand what it means to belong to the House of the Dragon. You attend your very first tourney in celebration of your brother or sister’s impending arrival.
Hello! My apologies for the wait. There was a whole mess of stuff that killed my drive to write for a few days. BUT, I’ve managed to write this one, featuring baby!Babey as a POV character! I’ve tried hard to keep it in a ‘small person’ voice, which got real old real fast, lol. Keep in mind that she’s around 3 years old in this one, so she’s not hella mature or anything. My thanks to @ewanmitchellcrumbs for reading this asshole over, lol.
TRIGGERS: child doing child things, child narrating Episode 1 of HotD, character death.
Synopsis: Childbirth is the duty and dismay of all highborn women. Together, you and Daemon experience the trials, tribulations and triumphs of expectant parenthood. You stand your ground.
(Set post-episode 7, though Daemon never married Laena or Rhaenyra.)
Writing in a 17+ age fandom (TV-MA for mature audiences as recommended by most parental guides - some rate this R18+)
Writing detailed smut
Complaining about a lack of HotD mutuals
- And somehow, with all these things combined, fails to find the insanity of then stating:
“No one with a mature blog should be interacting with me!!!!! Stop reblogging or liking my content!”
- Then - respectfully - what the hell DO you want??? If you’re going to invade an above-age space and participate the creation of above-age content, then you’re going to get above-age viewers/readers. You shouldn’t be partaking in this fandom; if I’m being quite honest, I would not let any minor watch House of the Dragon. I’d recommend a more age-appropriate fandom space if you’re intent on avoiding adult content-creators.
This is just the wildest, silliest thing I’ve seen on this site for a good while. It is also one of the many, many, many reasons for my healthy block-button trigger.
(I’ll also add a statement here: as an adult in an adult space writing adult content, I reserve the right to block children from seeing that content. The reverse of the above does NOT apply because of the context of the House of the Dragon fandom - being that it is for a mature audience.)
My interpretation of Daemon is one of many. I enjoy writing him, but I’m in no way an authority on this character. That’d be the ones responsible for bringing him to life: George R. R. Martin, the writers on HotD, and of course, our lovely Matt Smith.
But there are also so, so, so many amazing fanfic writers out there who have absolutely INSANELY AWESOME takes on his character, and I’m honestly just happy to be vibin’ here.
I’m so glad people are enjoying my writing, but it’s always valuable to note that there are heaps of great contributors to this fandom and we should value each and every one of their works. Together, they help shape our collective understanding of this character we all love (and love to be appalled by).
I’ve been seeing some really toxic behaviours in our fandom and others, whereby fandom creators are indulging in the echo chamber of feedback they’re getting for their work and positioning themselves as ‘experts’. I just wanted to remind everyone - myself, my readers, and my fellow Daemon hos - that we are all, in our own way, helping shape pop culture’s perspective of him. Every artwork, every fanfic, every analysis and every thirst post has some kind of value in adding to the complexity of our feral meow-meow. Fandom is such a rich source from which characters can be fully-realised, and fandom is a community, not an individual.
I am grateful to be part of it!
Note: this isn’t motivated by anything other than the vibez and the 1am sleepless high. Be cool, broskis (which is a gender neutral term and I stand by that -).
If you’re a writer for House of the Dragon, or simply a fan of the show, we’d love to have you join our Discord!
With spaces for general chat, venting, writer channels and thirst zones, there’s a place for everyone to meet like-minded individuals. House of the Dragon Fanfiction Hub is growing all the time, and is an active, safe place for nearly 100 users at last count!
Synopsis: As the second daughter of King Viserys, you experience firsthand what it means to belong to the House of the Dragon. Your sister prepares for her wedding to Laenor Velaryon.
Hello! this one took a while, so am sorry, lol! My cat got attacked, which I hope is at least SOME excuse. This is another 8000+ word chapter, so yay! This covers the Episode 5 stuff, which is fairly self-explanatory. Thank you to my boobear @ewanmitchellcrumbs for coming back to me and beta-ing this thingo!
TRIGGERS: Episode 5 shenanigans. Nothing much else, really.
Synopsis: Queen Aemma brings a new child into the world—you. As the second daughter of King Viserys, you experience firsthand what it means to belong to the House of the Dragon.
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the very first instalment of this series, featuring baby!Babey and teen-uncle!Daemon! This prologue will be the only Daemon POV of this instalment (or at least that is my current plan), and there will be several time jumps in keeping with canon. Please keep in mind that, as canon diverges around Episode 5/6 in this series, much of what occurs in the show will also occur as-is here, so don’t expect anything particularly innovative in terms of plot, lol. I’m hoping this will be an opportunity to establish Babey as a firm part of the storyline in a manner that is a little less ambiguous, and will also serve to provide more wholesome Babey/Daemon interactions to foreground their later shift. A couple things: there will be NO ROMANCE in this fic, because Babey is a child. Ew. There may be mentions of romance between other characters, but this story will be told firmly through Babey’s eyes and thus events are limited to her own interpretations.
Anyway! Enough from me - on with the show!
TRIGGERS: mentions of miscarriage/stillbirth, mentions of childbirth trauma, blood.
Synopsis: As the second daughter of King Viserys, you experience firsthand what it means to belong to the House of the Dragon. You struggle with the passing of your mother.
Hello! My apologies for the wait. My laptop broke, so I had to go get a new one. It took me a bit to set it all up how I like, and then I had a busy time of it at work + a bit of writer’s block. I hope the chapter makes up for it! Keep in mind there are some untranslated bits of HV in here, but I’ll make a post + link transcribing all that for those who want. Thank you to @ewanmitchellcrumbs for giving this the go-ahead!
TRIGGERS: character death, exploration of child grief, dysfunctional family dynamics.
Synopsis: As the second daughter of King Viserys, you experience firsthand what it means to belong to the House of the Dragon. Your wish comes true.
Hello! Welcome to the FINAL CHAPTER of this instalment, another 8000+ word chapter! Everyone’s long-anticipated ‘claiming scene’ is here, so please give a round of applause to our angryboi, the Cannibal! Keep in mind that I’ve officially retconned Luke and Daeron’s ages (they’re 8 and 9 in gevivys now, not 5 and 6 like they were originally - please let me know if I’ve missed any instances so far!), Thank you to my boobear @ewanmitchellcrumbs for beta-ing this thingo!
TRIGGERS: more abandonment issues, reference to pervy suitors.
Incredibly unhinged mutuals and anons being disgusting with each other about the various body parts, kinks, and anatomical functions of characters we stan. AMUSING, but weird and kinda gross.
