Summary
Hurston, Corrected is a slightly satirical tale of what happens when a black woman genius’ talent is called into question by a white graduate student. In 2011 Victoria Conrad wrote a graduate thesis asserting had Zora Neale Hurston written her folktales in standard English, she and her works would be as popular as The Brothers Grimm. When the thesis is criticized as a devaluation and dismissive of a black woman’s art, Victoria’s best friend Marion Johnson comes to her rescue. Marion serves as the “black friend” vouching for Victoria during a 4-month media storm that eventually leaves both women publicly humiliated and “canceled”.
The novel begins five years later when Seattle journalist Lloyd Garrison is assigned to interview Marion, who has returned to the states and is attempting to reenter the public discourse as an advocate for art created by Black women. Embarrassed that his social justice journalism training is being wasted working on an upper-class lifestyle publishing company, Lloyd decides to defy his editor’s suggestion that his article on Marion should remain a puff-piece, and instead writes a manifesto on reclaiming Black art from a white audience’s gaze.

**2025 Reddit Top Dramione**
Nominated:
Best Hogwarts Era
Best Twist On A TropeWhat if Hermione Granger had a twin?
In the stories they tell after the war, it’s always Coraline Granger they remember. Cora, 1/3 of the Golden Trio. Cora, The Bravest Witch of Her Age. Or Cora, the Golden Girl. Cora fought loud and brave. She had the accolades, the War Hero Status, and the friendship of Harry Potter, savior of the wizarding world. But there was another sister, more intelligent and, perhaps, powerful. Hermione Granger, often overlooked in favor of her twin.
The first Muggleborn sorted into Slytherin, she vanished into the shadows the moment the hat touched her head. She wasn’t the girl who led the charge, she was the one who rewrote the battlefield behind the scenes. With Draco Malfoy at her side and a House full of snakes behind her, Hermione did what others wouldn’t. History, however, never remembers the girl who made the hard decisions, for legends, like her sister, only live in the light.
