Here’s a complied list of the fanfics I’ve been working on over the last four years and their status!
One off stories
1) Harry Potter - James Sirius Potter gets bored (WIP)
A time travel/AU story where Dumbledore never turned in Hermione’s time turner and her godson and eldest nephew got a hold of it with disastrous results. This is easily the most read bit of writing I’ve ever done and I’m still flabbergasted by the community’s response.
2) The West Wing - The Mosses travel to Washington (completed)
My first attempt an fanfic, I wanted to play in the AU universe created by Bondi Gargoyle’s The Snowbowl. After Josh and Donna figure out their relationship status during a trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving, chaos hits the White House right as the Mosses show up in town for the Christmas holidays.
Series
1) The West Wing - We’re the Future (WIP)
A look at the Santos Administration along with the personal and professional relationships that develop. With WW3 potentially brewing in Central Asia…what’s a few more domestic and international crisis to add to their plate?
2) Harry Potter - A life worth living (WIP)
A post-war, post-books series that sticks with our heroes as they help rebuild the wizarding world and their shattered lives. Cannon ships, but will diverge from cannon massively.
also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.
I love the joey and jed dynamic so much. jed being the one to recommend joey run instead of campaign manage. joey checking in on jed explicitly when josh pulls her aside at the airport. jed laughing at joey bullying josh and trusting her implicitly when she defines kenny as an extension of herself, as trustworthy. joey laughing at josh’s joke about how this is the best assemblage of democratic thought leaders since the last time jed bartlet dined alone.
i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.
roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck.
anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
Tension ached in his lower back as he bent down towards the capstan and reached for the tightly bound rope. As his wrinkled hand reached down for the knot when there was an outcry from off his boat’s stern.
With a loud snap; he stood up as his head turned towards the street where a crowd thrummed with fear as people streamed across the street. And then he heard every sailor’s nightmare.
The angry crackle of fire as it consumed everything in its path.
He turned his head around and saw nothing off the starboard bow. But a few hundred feet of us port bow was a white excursion paddle steamer, with its midships ablaze as angry tongues of fire licked aft. Where the woman and children were pinned against the railing.
“Cut the ropes!” His weathered voice shouted out over the din from the crowd.
There was a flurry of activity as he raced forward to the wheelhouse. As he gripped the dented brass handle, and twisted, he heard the dull thwack of machetes as they hit the brand new rope he’d bought just last night. The skipper let out a dark chuckle when he pictured the reaction of the shop owner when he stopped by tonight to buy replace the ropes, again.
Once he wrenched the door open, it was only a couple of steps until he reached the speaking tube; “I need full steam, now.”
“Aye, sir!” Came the tight, but unsurprised, voice from the engine room. One of the deck hands probably headed below to let the engineer know. The door was yanked open and interrupted his thoughts.
“Ropes are free sir, they’re bringing the boiler up to full pressure as quickly as they can.” The speaker was out of breath.
“Thank you, have the crew take departure stations. Once we’re free of the pier I want the boat swung out and ready to pick up survivors.”
“Yes sir!” That was followed by the clack of steps on the wooden deck before the door slammed shut. He scowled before he made his way over to the door and reached his weathered hand out to the handle before he twisted it open.
Once the door was secured in the open position, he felt the engines rumble to life below his feet. He quickly took up position at the helm and turned the bow so it was free of the pier.
As they pulled clear of the dockside, his eyes continued to track the pyre as it raced up the East River. The steamer was well north of his ship by now and a procession of tugs, river freighters, and pleasure craft trailed behind her. He twisted his helm and aimed his ship to join the front of the line of rescue boats.
It took only a few minutes for him to get close enough to feel the heat that radiated off the doomed ship. A hollow ache filled his stomach as he watched women toss their children overboard.
Out of the corner of his eye, he registered on of his deck hands approach the bow. Before they spun around and headed right to his open door.
“Sir, the children aren’t comin’ back up!”
The captain’s blood chilled, “What do you mean?”
“The children that are being thrown overboard,” the young man’s face was pale as his voice shook. “They aren’t comin’ back up! It’s like they’re being drug to the bottom of the river.”
I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric
Every problem that Josh, Sam, Toby, and Leo hid from CJ has been an issue that she was directly questioned about.
It doesn't take much for the media to find out stories, to be honest. Everyone loves to blab, and the duty of a journalist is to filter the "highlight" from the long-winded rambling.
What bothers me the most is the way these men undermine the work that CJ does and fuck up her reputation—a reputation, mind you, is a very important thing when in media—and the continuous belief that "the press won't find out about it."
The press will most definitely find out about it, 'cause that's their fucking job!
How do people not understand this? Everyone continues to vilify the media when it's your own fuck-ups that result in stories that damage your name.
I’m sorry but the funniest thing Katniss Everdeen has ever done is assume the other Victors were trying to protect Peeta simply because they also knew he was the most pure-hearted and deserving person to win the Quell!
Like no babes! You’re just in love with him and everyone can tell! They figured out very fast that the revolution is DOA if bread boy dies!
"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.
