Aftermath - A Truth and Misunderstandings Prequel

Hellooooooooooooooooo,

Instead of finishing my Naruto/Sasuke fic Truth and Misunderstandings, I revised a similar story I'd started writing in 2016 to function as a prequel to the events of TaM. I have drafted all four chapters and will be revising and uploading them in the next two weeks.

I'll be out of the country for several weeks toward the end of May, and then I'm moving in June so... I better finish by then!

Who knows when I'll finish the rest of everything 🥴 I'm a foolish adult who accidentally now works three jobs (one full time, one part time, one contract) and supervises a research project for free.

Anyway. If you're reading this, ily and I'll keep writing. At least I am a very good boy and have not indulged in any other fanfic writing until this one is done, lol

I want art mentors so bad!

I want a really experienced writer to teach me how to push my short stories harder, how to hone them into art.

I want a really experienced artist to help me with my brush strokes, to understand how to make my art do the things I want it to.

I want to not work 45hrs a week and have several research studies going on the side, I want to Art in Community!

I could probably find things online but there is no one here where I live who can do this with me and I deeply miss when I was a teen in an art academy and all my projects were art based and with gentle, patient instructors.

The problem with modern Trek is that there just aren't enough plotlines where kirk yells at the antagonist about how they suck because they have no love or compassion and then he goes back home to his ship & has a little philosophical debate with his friends while making heart eyes at spock

[wiltkingart]

okay

Truth & Misunderstandings Update

On the off chance that anyone comes here looking for an update, my goal is still to finish in 2025. Chapters 9 & 10 are plotted out and just need to be written (only about 1k words drafted so far for ch9, sorry 🫠).

You can read the latest chapter here:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

My contract was unceremoniously terminated in Sept (research funding cuts) and in the scramble for a new job & the anxiety around money, my creativity suffered. I am slowly reigniting my passion for writing and reintegrating a regular schedule for art time.

The summer was some of the most technically detailed and emotionally laborious work I've ever done, and while it was worth it & will help the people who fired me do important conservation work, the professional disrespect and content of the job took its toll. I'm recovering, and that's okay. I start my new job Nov 1st.

Genuinely I think the funniest way that Spirk could go canon in a woke TOS reboot is to make their plausible deniability into a Contientious Bit. They're not queerbaiting the audience they are straightbaiting Starfleet Command.

There is clearly something Off(tm) with how they are about each other: always slightly more familiar than is professional, always taking shore leave together, always single no women in their lives... Season long subplot where the Bad Admiral is trying to bust them on fraternization violations and is frustrated he can't pin anything on them. The quid-pro-quo allegations are washing off Jim like water off a duck's back. Comedy b-plot where Jim has to convince the aliens of the week that Spock isn't his mate before it winds up in the official report. There are scene cuts that open on the two of them in obviously compromising positions and its completely ignored. Journey to Babel redux that's more or less just the plot of The Birdcage.

It's a running gag and the audience is in on it. They're never confirmed explicitly but the homophobic audience members who still want to deny it are getting dogged on tongue-in-cheek every time the admiralty is so obviously being duped by the act. Put me in the writers room coach I have something to say.
