How to be in a Fandom: Part 3

 Hi everyone, and today I'm going to try something new for this blog. Something humorous, which can help you find out something crucial to your identity. How to tell if you are in a fandom, and what to do now that you are part of the Fandom. But firstly, a general reminder from the last post and for all those who just grabbed this article now: what is a Fandom? According to Wikipedia, it is: A fandom is a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of empathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest. Fans typically are interested in even minor details of the objects of their fandom and spend a significant portion of their time and energy involved with their interest, often as a part of a social network with particular practices, differentiating fandom-affiliated people from those with only a casual interest.  A fandom can grow around any area of human interest or activity. The subject of fan interest can be narrowly defined, focused on something like ...

ANNOUNCEMENT

 Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing ok! The reason why I made this post is that I have an announcement to make.  I am shifting my content, subject wise. Oh, don't worry, still expect book reviews and writing tips. Those are here to stay. What I mean is that I won't be doing those things only now. I'll also be posting a lot more on my passion Harry Potter, including merch posts, reviews on the movies etc etc. What you should also expect is me ranting more about all types of art, encouragements for artists and Fandoms in general.  I hope that you will all support me in my journey! Thanks, and have a pleasant day!

An Introduction to Artistic Skills

 Hi everyone! This is a post which I actually practice in every day life and that I never shut up about in real life. I won't give away what it's about yet beyond the title, but here's a little introduction. If you are like me, you have a burning passion inside your heart. One that practically calls you towards the arts. If you ignore it, you feel sad and irritated. Now, I know most of you here are asking: but what exactly constitutes as an art? How do I know whether I have the skill? And surely the most dreaded, I'm not artistic in any way. First of all, there are multiple categories of art. These are: Visual Arts. When stating the word ART, this is what normally comes to mind. Such examples include painting, drawing, ceramics, photography and sculpture.  Literary Arts. This is the idea of printed storytelling, of which there are three types: prose (the story), poetry and drama (a play). This is the manipulation of words to create a new world. Performing Arts. These ar...

 Hi everyone and today I shall be reviewing the second in the esteemed book series of Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.  As you already know from both my School for Good and Evil reviews and my recent Harry Potter book review, the Categories assessed shall be Pacing, Language, Characters and Plot. Each category will have 10 points and I will be ranking the book over 40 points. I will be giving my own opinion on each of the categories.  DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS ALERT IN THE REVIEW! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK A little info on the book before proceeding. It was first published in 1998, and I currently own the second edition of the book in question. Not much else can be said about it.  So without further ado, let's get started! PLOT:  Seems like a normal year at Hogwarts that year. Until a mysterious house elf named Dobby comes to Harry warning him not to come to Hogwarts, for there is grave danger ahead. And seems like he was right, b...

Book Review: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Image
 Hi everyone and today I shall be reviewing the first in the esteemed book series of Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone . Since this is the proper (because it is British and that is what it is called in Britain) name of the book, I will be referring to it as such, not Sorcerer's Stone. As you already know from my School for Good and Evil reviews, the Categories assessed shall be Pacing, Language, Characters and Plot. Each category will have 10 points and I will be ranking the book over 40 points. I will be giving my own opinion on each of the categories.  DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS ALERT IN THE REVIEW! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK A little info on the book before proceeding. It was first published in 1997, written by J.K Rowling and was later made into a film in 2001 (ironically I have the version of when the film came out: the Bloomsbury 2001 edition). Now, I have two points to address before I get started with the review. Firstly, I will not be c...
