ououough i would Love to see snippets frm fourth dimension and you & whole biodome mad 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🪨

Fourth Dimension isn't quite in the state for previews Just Yet, but here's a bit from Whole Biodome Mad:

Their voice is harsh and angry. Steam vents from their carapace recklessly. They don't stamp their claws, they drag them against the walls and floor in a screeching display of desperate rage. They do not want to sing with Adrian. They never want to hear Adrian again. Never never never. Why does Adrian get their mate back? Why not Long-Awaited-Song's parent? When Long-Awaited-Song was so much younger when the Blip-A left, when Long-Awaited-Song was so much more alone than Adrian, when Long-Awaited-Song was patient and meek and good and waited waited waited?

(I am probably going to change Adrian and the Blip-A's name to something more appropriate for an Eridian POV fic, but these are placeholders!)

Thank you!!

Last Three Sentences Friday

tagged by @itwoodbeprefect after tagging her... a chain a self-fulfilling prophecy an infinity loop. it is currently 1:42am and I woke up at 5:30am I don't know why I'm not asleep

this is technically four sentences but i felt the first one was needed. been working on Aunty Huggy and the Petes with hopes of having it done for the SHarecon Countdown Calendar.

He’s got some kind of a clue what she’s looking for here by now, or at least what she’s looking at. Sugar fits the bill. Sugar’s barely less perceptive than Huggy, also, and shoots him an arched brow as Pete ambles over from the opposite end of the bar. “They’re a little small for a bartender.” “Don’t let her hear you talking like that.”

tagging. i'm gonna keep it going. @itwoodbeprefect for whenever you next have sentences. also @bookwhimses @faorism @gallantrejoinder @actingcamplibrarian

"It's like talking to a sitcom character with you sometimes." "Yes, yes. Like Nanny Fine. Very charming and pretty." "Oh, I just pictured switching your AAC voice to hers. Oh my god. Please let me do that. Five minutes, tops. I need the enrichment."

Fic: The Fourth Dimension and You: A Shifter's Guide to Your New Senses

Rating: Teen and up

Words: Probably 10k, looking at 3 chapters.

Fandom: Project Hail Mary (book and film)

Pairings: Ryland Grace~Rocky the Eridian (have we decided on a queerplatonic symbol yet?)

Summary: 

I'd occasionally and idly wished, on the long journey to Erid, for another human being to keep me company. Well, the universe is really funny about wishes, sometimes.

AKA, Rocky turns into a human. It's the single most horrifying thing that's ever happened to them.

Notes: Held a gun to my head and swore it'd be a single chapter and it still didn't work. Whatever. Go my multichap.

[gallantrejoinder]

Chapter two! In which Rocky continues to have a bad time and Grace talks a LOT.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

[hard-times-paramore]

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

Holo Taco, the nonbinary Todd extravaganza.

Fic: A Defective Hinge

Rating: Teen and Up

Words: Probably ~20k eventually?

Fandom: Doctor Who

Pairings: Yasmin Khan/Thirteenth Doctor, The Master (Dhawan)/Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan/The Master (Dhawan)

Summary: The Doctor is out of action, and Yaz doesn't know what to do. But surely, he isn't the answer.

Notes: This fic is a sequel to this fic involving the queen of lies, Clara Oswald, as part of my series all of your lies, dealing with all the things Thirteen isn't telling Yaz about. That said, you don't need to have read that fic to get this one!

[gallantrejoinder]

Chapter two is here!! Mind the trigger warnings, please! Hope you enjoy.

[gallantrejoinder]

Chapter three, I hope you like people having a bad time.

Fic: On Spiritual Friendship

Rating: Teen and up

Words: ?? Probably 20k - looking at 8 chapters

[mistressaccost]

[jackabbot]

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3
