Yuletide (my favorite fannish event) revealed authors a couple of weeks ago. I wrote two fics:
the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn, Dune, Duke Leto/Jessica, E.
Duke Leto Atreides lays his burdens down.
Unwrapping, Charlie's Angels (2019), Jane/Sabina, E.
Jane and Sabina have a festive Christmas Eve.
For a unique definition of 'festive.'
And now it's time for my OTHER favorite fannish event,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
smut4smutThey're doing nominations now.
And finally, I have created a pillowfort. Always seeking my fannish siblings.

Likely everyone else, I am greatly enjoying Ted Lasso. I know Rebecca/Sam cannot end well... but I also very much want it to end well.
I binge-read the A Court Of Thorns & Roses which has some major flaws but is also perfect for what it is (if you want an escapist fantasy where you get to be heroic and wear pretty dresses and everyone is handsome and a least half in love with you, check it out. I mean... skimm through the middle chunk of ACOTAR but after that it really gets enjoyable. And I appreciate the unprecedented hard left turn the author took in the beginning of the second book).
Other than that, I'm trying to wait out tiktok- I feel like that is where most of the fannish conversations are happening and I am NOT cool with a video medium. Can we PLEASE go back to a decent text platform?)

Due to a series of events I don't understand and am not sure I like, I am reading Draco/Hermione fics going through a couple of HP fanartists pages.
No, I don't understand it either.

Like a lot of people after tumblr's recent announcement, I am making sure I am (semi-? potentially?) active on other platforms.
It's been a while.
Let's see... currently I am into Timeless (Garcy, of course), Killjoys, and I got into hockey (mistake, regret it, can't stop now).
How are you folks doing?

Okay, so I deeply, deeply want to get my text-based fannish fix, so I’ve decided to give this whole dreamwidth thing a shot. I’m going to be attempting to cross-post between the two platforms and see how that goes.
Thus, advice on the following would be helpful:
Thus, advice on the following would be helpful:
- cross-posting: how to not fuck it up
- how to get the most fannish bang for your buck as far as posting on two platforms
- something else that you don’t know enough to ask about
- cool people to follow and cool places to hang out!

Has anyone read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell?
Because I got it from the library and I don't know if I want to keep reading.
One, because having a fandom front and central in a book makes me a bit uncomfortable (ignore the woman typing behind the curtain!).
Two, because I have the feeling that she's going to ~learn a lesson~ about going out into the world and being less shy.
And three, because she's a slash fangirl, and I have no fucking patience for interludes that are the "canon" of her slash pairing and no fucking patience for slash being written about in a completely unexamined (i.e. ladies, what ladies, why should there be ladies?) way.

Give me some characters/a pairing and one of the AUs** below and I will tell you about that story.
**I realize that several of these are just straight-up tropes and would totally work without an AU setting.

- I have to wake up in an hour and forty minutes. Is it even worth going to bed?
- Also, I chanced going on my tumblr for ONLY FIVE PAGES - got a slight Cap 2 spoiler. That will fucking teach me. The worst part is I totally knew better. (And it was my fucking tumblr savior's fault, too.)
- WHY CAN'T I WATCH THE WINTER SOLDIER RIGHT NOW?
- Anyway, meme time:

You know, when you consistently have to stop yourself from writing the wrong surname.
I keep wanting to write Abigail King (correct name: Abigail Whistler) and Clint Bishop (correct name: Clint Barton).

Has anyone ever, actually seriously argued that a dog was good security?
And since the answer is clearly "no" can we please delete that trope from the fanfic lexicon for all eternity?

You should all come and play. There's some great prompts already.

Okay, media update time.
In the area of books, I just finished Marissa Meyer's Cinder, which I loved. It’s a fantastic sci-fi retelling of Cinderella and it ends on a cliff-hanger that made me interested enough in the rest of the series to splurge and get the next two books from B&N.
I watched the first ten minutes of the most recent episode of SHIELD( we love our acronyms )
I loved this week's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.( this is a den of liars )
Arrow was actually pretty boring this week, imho.( where ever i go, I'm just answering phones )
I read Hawkeye 15, which was SO overhyped, imho.( he's just a shape )
On the subject of awesome queer ladies, I just watched the second episode of Bomb Girls. (My goal is to get caught up before the movie airs at the end of March.( if you can pour tea, you can pour amatol )
