ThreadSmaller Wizarding World
The now (in)famous quote: ES: How many wizards are there? JKR: In the world? Oh, Emerson, my maths is so bad. ES: Is there a ratio of Muggles to wizards - MA: Or in Hogwarts. JKR: Well, Hogwarts. All right. Here is the thing with Hogwarts. Way before I finished “Philosopher's Stone,” when I was just amassing stuff for seven years, between having the idea and publishing the book, I sat down and I created 40 kids who enter Harry's year. I'm delighted I did it, [because] it was so useful....

Pure-Blood Culture
It is a common trope in fanfiction that there exists a magical aristocracy (whether formally recognised or not) who constitute an exclusive social network distinguished by certain customs, traditions and habits. This is often referred to as "pure-blood culture". Putting aside how this idea stands up to canon, for the sake of discussion let's embrace it as a fanon trope and see what we can do with it to make it good. Because for me, the biggest problem with "pure-blood culture" in fanfic is...

Funding the Ministry
I've always wondered how the Ministry is funded. The first decision to make is if you think the Ministry is funded via tax or some other means. There are various options for "other means": Curse-breaking expeditions. Taking funding from the Muggle treasury. A literal goose that lays eggs made of gold, kept in the Ministry basement. There are fics where I can see these ideas, and similar ideas, working. However, my own preference is tax. The Ministry in canon is a prototypical...

Thread[Setting] World of Madness
The World of Madness The World of Madness is a major fusion of three fictional universes: H.P.

"The sky ... was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." - Neuromancer. "You're a big bad vampire. Hey, great, congrats. Now keep it to yourself." -...

ThreadVampires 101
Vampires are depicted across fiction in all sorts of formats to point where the only commonality between them seems to be "thing which drinks blood". So which version do you like best? Are they susceptible to sunlight, can they transform into bats, do they have powers, are the newly turned automatically bonded with their sires, etc. Secondly, what sort of vampire do you want to see more of? What kind of vampire society worldbuilding interests you most? I enjoy a more... chaotic setting,...

ThreadMagical Evolution
How were magical animals created? How was the first Phoenix born? Who thought erumpets were a good idea? What kind of environment were nundus raised in to let them spit Bubonic plague? Were they just mutated from normal animals by the magic of the world or was there a more... active hand in their creation. What if the magical beasts of the world were created by wizards whether on purpose or by accident? Transfiguration is known to be able to create sentient creatures. Quintapeds are an...
