I am a PASSIONATE commenter on fanfiction, but sometimes it slows down my reading because I don't want to read if I don't have the mental energy to leave the long comments I want to

Still, as an author, I know even a short note can mean the world.

So, I put together a little guide with different “levels” of comments, so it’s easier to leave something without overthinking!

Hopefully this helps someone else too!

Question for the folks in the Johnlock fandom that enjoy my stories….

Hey everyone,

I just put up a chapter yesterday for one of my solos, but been a while before that I got anything up on AO3. A large part of that is me trying to get into a good writing routine while working multiple jobs and some pressing family obligations.

However there also is another issue. I just don’t know where to focus my energy. So I’m coming to tumblr and you fantastic and creative people with a question:

If I put up a weekly poll as to what story I should update next, would you be willing to vote on which one for me to focus on that week?

Yes, I love to be involved in that!

No. I’d prefer you be the main person who decides what gets your attention.

Concerto Grosso, a @fandomtrumpshate Johnlock AU for Margalo_Schiff

Art by @helloliriels for FTH 2025: zip over to the original and shower it with the kudos and love it deserves.

SUMMARY: Sparks fly when John Watson, conductor of the last surviving Hollywood studio orchestra, and Sherlock Holmes, visiting violin superstar, negotiate clashing approaches, styles, and interpretations. Their first rehearsal is a train wreck and antipathy at first sight. They have 5 days to record Sherlock's part of a film score to carry a $100M film, justify the Mammoth Studio Orchestra’s existence to the bean-counters, and confirm his mid-career transformation from a Romantic to a baroque violinist.

In this fic John has always been a musician, never a surgeon or a soldier; Sherlock has always been a violinist, never a detective or an addict a controlled user or a polymath. His extraordinary mind was directed early into one narrow but deep channel; now, it wants a change of course.

Warning: There's nothing real or even realistic about how this story portrays the workings of film music. I wanted to see who John and Sherlock would be, with completely different lives. Predispositions and temperament must change in response to nurture, experience and influence; what would disappear and what would remain?

Posting schedule: The fic is finished and has started posting, but updates won't be metronomic. For notifications, let me know in the comments to tag you on tumblr posts, or subscribe to me or to this story on AO3.

Please do reblog—that is such a help!

[sobeautifullyobsessed]

raising funds to stay housed during winter Storm Fern ~

As most of my followers are aware, I've been homeless for more than 4 1/2 years, and this Community has been my greatest ally in staying safe and sheltered. I've had several false starts when I believed a resolution was close at hand, only to have those hopes dashed. Life has become even more complicated since I've been diagnosed with Artirial Fibrillation in mid-December and am recovering from congestive heart failure. Thankfully, I'm receiving treatment, but my homelessness remains a huge issue. For those not familiar with my journey, I have chronicled it with the tag #coping with homelessness

matching donations challenge ~

Today an extremely kind and generous anonymous donor has offered to match any funds that I raise going forward up to $400--which is my goal to keep me sheltered another full week, and through Storm Fern which is now forecast to drop as much as twelve inches of snow on Connecticut from Sunday through Monday. I thank them not only for their generosity, but also for the brilliance of this idea. I've mentioned previously I'm waiting on my Department of Social Services interview to find out what state benefits I may be eligible for in addition to the Medicade perscriptions that are basically keeping me from a deadly stroke. Any donations I receive should see me through the resolution of my interview.

I've already received a donation today, so my fundraising stands at

$75 / $400

Please keep in mind that any amount you contribute will be doubled by the Anonymous Donor's pledge.

Contributions can be made to either my ko-fi (link below), or if originating in the US, via Pay Pal (please DM me for my email address). Bless you all for help of any amount you can manage, and for reblogs of this post.

[totallysilvergirl]

Anything anyone can spare automatically doubles? I'm in.

Keeping someone indoors during a named winter storm: yes

Keeping them housed while they wait to find out if they can still qualify for any benefits and healthcare assistance if they go back to work to get a place to live: fuck yes

(and how is this 2025 anywhere but oh wait it's the US)

Thankfully the crash out was not televised…

Well then. That week off blew up into multiple months.

So, let me explain what happened.

The solos connected with the fundraiser were mostly completed. I was in the process of getting my wonderfully patient beta readers to go over them when I had what future Tad would call “her brain deciding that everything she creates is horrific and must be destroyed with an invisible sledgehammer.”

Her future therapist would call a “delayed trauma response to a constantly unstable housing conditions.”

I think that my name for it was more visually interesting but since my therapist has actual education in the floaty nonsense that goes on in the human head, I will go with their diagnosis.

I’m sorry that I have been gone. All stories are slowly coming back and I have the next Fandom Saves solo (rewritten into something hopefully better) for @binx72 to be going up on Sunday (December 28th).

I will keep you all updated as soon as I have more information, and thank you for your continued patience and support while I get back into the swing of things. I will be soon taking down the GoFundMe but will be keeping the Ko-Fi up for a while longer just to make sure I get everyone who has donated a way to reach me other than just my email (which has been a right bastard as of late) and for others to donate/share if they would like.

Love you all, and fandom saves.

Tad 💚

I made a podfic. It’s my very first one. Thank you @lisbeth-kk for volunteering to be my fic reading first and listener. Thank you also to @ghostofnuggetspast who helped me figure out hosting and provided lots of encouragement! I wanted to be able to offer something for Holmestice. So now I’m official! And I even have my first kudos on ao3 thanks to @tiger-daniels. This really is the best fandom.
