noob C9 snippet!

Bacon4Algernon: so i'm thinking either poor unfortunate shoals: examining the link between the large scale obliteration of unnamed characters in film and general antipathy to real world tragedy or a de vil by any other name would be less inclined to fucking kill those dogs: names shaping identity

Josie: I beg your pardon?

Bacon4Algernon: i'm pondering topics for the thesis you said you wanted proof so leaving these with you before i hit the hay

Josie: Excuse me

Bacon4Algernon: what?

Josie: Did you just use the phrase hit the hay?

Bacon4Algernon: yeah

Josie: Because you're seventy-five years old?

Bacon4Algernon: lol no my dad always uses that expression at bedtime so it's something i'm trying to be honest, i don't love it but it sounds a lot more succinct than hit the vispring mattress

Sarah is in the top five of funniest people I know.

A (n unexpected?) Snippet

Josie: I'm waiting.

Bacon4Algernon: for what?

Josie: Now is about the time you usually DM me in a rage about something, no? I thought I'd do it tonight. Make it feel a little less one-sided.

Bacon4Algernon: much like captain ahab you are fishing and i will not rise to your bait

Josie: It's just that you seem to make a point to DM me every time we play a session to accuse me of being Vlad the Impaler, so I thought I'd go first this time.

Bacon4Algernon: oh right and what exactly are you planning to accuse ME of? because unlike you i'm not up to anything nefarious i'm not a creep and i HAVE a girlfriend so don't think that just because you're a girl who conducts her affairs with the confidence of someone much better looking than me that i'm interested in knowing you carnally

Josie: Good LORD

Bacon4Algernon: because i am NOT

Josie: Well shit, do be a gentleman and allow me to counter some of what you just said while my heart mends, would you?

Bacon4Algernon: since i am a gentleman that's fine

Josie: 1) I know you have a girlfriend, you mention her every fifteen fucking seconds. Believe me, every data broker who ever sold your info KNOWS you have a girlfriend. In actual fact there are North Sentinel Islanders with no internet in the Bay of Bengal who know you have a girlfriend and THEY still hunt with spears.

Bacon4Algernon: oooooh look at me i'm josie i'm so smart i have loads of random information about indigenous tribes right at my fingertips and i'm pretending i didn't google it ooooooooooh!

Josie: 2) Sorry that you don't think you're good-looking but that's my problem HOW?

[isinkwiththeship]

I'm pretending this is a gift for me.

I'M SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT ARE YOU READING COSMERE BY ANY CHANCE

NO DO YOU RECOMMEND IT? I'm currently on the second book of the Shepherd King duology (thank you @anothersultrygnome for the BANGING rec) and having a fabulous time however

[isinkwiththeship]

Sarah, please don't get me started on the cosmere. They are girth but excellent and I think you'd enjoy Tress of the Emerald Sea.

The other cosmere books are SO involved but imo so worth the time investment

[isinkwiththeship]

Hi! Not sure if it’s still active, but can I have a link to the Dasey discord?

Just sent. Looking forward to seeing you there!

[olderthannetfic]

I got an angry comment from a reader that as a result of my fic containing subject matter that ChatGPT's ToS doesn't want to talk about (racism, antisemitism, sexual violence, abuse, etc.) ChatGPT can't generate new chapters of the fic for them.

Two things. One, I've taken a break because my dad died, so sorry you went two whole weeks between updates but maybe learn some perspective. Two, why are you complaining to me? Complain to whoever runs ChatGPT. I don't run the thing. I have no say in its' rules or what it does or doesn't let you put in. I don't even know how it works, because since I was 5, I've been someone who comes up with my own stories, rather than having a computer tell me them, and have therefore never used the thing.

I don't even know what to say beyond, "That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know." So that's all I said, because genuinely, I like the idea of this person having to wait for the actual update instead of having the machine think up an idea for them.

It's not my best comeback but if I'm being completely honest, I don't think this person deserves my best comebacks. They get my first draft. It's all they've earned.

Are you nervous about posting the chaos at all??? I've got absolutely no doubt that it will exceed any and all expectations, and I have absolutely no clue where things could be going, but is the anticipation getting to you like it's getting to me lol

I'm anxious about meeting my own birthday deadline because I completely forgot that I have some other plans this week when I confidently announced it (but I want birthday reviews!) but not about posting it. Mostly it just feels weird to be at this stage. I've been such a spotty updater for nearly 20 years and suddenly I'm delivering on a promise in a big way. It's a bit strange.

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

So - I am all of a dither about new chapters of CYOA, and as such I’ve been doing a reread.

You’ve been trolling us haven’t you? And let me tell you, I could not possibly be more excited about it…

Was I trolling you? Or was I telling you what was going to happen?

[isinkwiththeship]

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

I know you don't care about what's going on in the fandom, but someone realised last week that Umbridge was in the same class as Regulus and suddenly everyone is shipping them under the name Kittywater! It's hilarious to see Jeg*l*s shippers get more and more pissed as they try to stop it by bringing up canon facts that obviously go against their own ship.

I actually was aware of this hilarious development, but my favourite thing about this perfect ask is that you spelled it Jeg*l*s. 10/10 no notes

[isinkwiththeship]

I'm sorry they're WHAT?

For those who can, please go vote today, my loves.

HWR is more favourite than WATJP???

Yes. It's beaten out everything. My plottiest plot ever.

[isinkwiththeship]

You'll just die when you read it. 😍

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

I'm thinking that HWR Jily will meet at night in the forest, where Hunter James comes upon a coven's ritual, where Witch Lily is butt-naked with fellow witches ;)

Nope! I wrote their first meeting last night and let me tell you, I think I outdid myself.

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

This Halloween story might just by my horniest fic ever tbh

[isinkwiththeship]

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

Can you give us any gif hints about your Halloween oneshot idea?

[isinkwiththeship]

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

I had an idea for a spooky Halloween oneshot and I kind of hate myself for having yet another idea

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

I asked @isinkwiththeship to tell me NOT to write this and she did not do as I asked and now also has the synopsis. Idk why I do this to myself.

[isinkwiththeship]

I am the most enabling enabler there ever was.

[isinkwiththeship]

I did some writing!

Miracle of miracles, I posted something for once. Up until today, the last time I posted was April 2023. Whoops.

Have a drabble: Everything between Casey and Derek is completely, utterly casual. She can totally be casual. A little drabble.

And the start to a new chapter fic:

“It’s not what you’re thinking—we won’t steal anything for Wake.”

Relieved, Casey sinks into her chair, sipping at her wine.

“We’re going to steal from her.” ----- In which, Derek and Casey plan an art heist. And probably fall in love.

i feel like being in a fandom long-term has a very specific repetitive cycle that kind of looks like this

[rneerkat-deactivated20130117]

what happens to nitrogen when the sun rises

[rneerkat-deactivated20130117]

it becomes daytrogen

[yolotwinkie]

I’m going to bed.

[rneerkat-deactivated20130117]

good nitrogen

[faggot-about-it]

sleep tightrogen

[accentuateawesome-deactivated20]
