So excited 😍
Today starts the 2025 men’s Tour de France. A passionate cyclist myself, I wrote some fanfics combining my interest in this race with my beloved fandoms. So if you ever wondered how Payneland and Johnlock would fare either watching or even riding the Tour, here are some fics for you:
Eight Seconds (Dead Boy Detectives, Payneland, 18k, T)
A stroll through London after a case and a reminder that the Tour de France is under way make the boys reminisce about their own encounters with this particular bicycle race seventy-six years apart. As memories long buried are unearthed, they realise some things about themselves and their relationship.
Slipstream (Sherlock, Johnlock, 290k, M)
It’s going to be the last Tour de France for professional cyclist John Watson. Despite the hardships of cycling more than 3000 kilometres in three weeks, in blistering heat and torrential rain, over dangerous cobblestones in northern France and the mountains of the Alps and the Pyrenees, battling thirst, hunger, injury and exhaustion, not to mention bitchy rivals, doping allegations, and the ever scoop-hungry press, he is going to enjoy the ride, damn it. That’s what John keeps telling himself – until he meets his new teammate, Sherlock Holmes, who adds a whole new list of problems as well as an extra dose of excitement to John’s life
Over Hill and Under Hill (Sherlock, Johnlock, 75k, T)
John and Sherlock travel to France to tackle the Col du Galibier (of Tour de France fame) by bicycle, and the confused state of their relationship after Sherlock's return from the dead at the same time. A long journey, and a long climb …
It’s Tour de France time again, folks 🚴♀️🚴♂️
We are excited to announce that the Oracle Deck is done! 🎉
We shall be releasing the deck soon, so keep an eye on our socials for a link to the store front! We cannot wait to share the final product with you all!
This has been such an exciting project, and I can’t wait for you all to see what the 43 talented DBDA artists and authors who contributed to this project have produced. Watch this space.
In a bout of insanity, I signed up for the 2DayFilmChallenge. Here’s a peek at what I’m working on. Had to sneak in a Dead Boy Detectives reference, of course, with Angie the Anglerfish. Lots of animating, fine-tuning, editing and sound editing still to do. The entire 3-5 min film must finished tomorrow ...
✨ Maybe it's time to feel trusting again // Eurydice, darling, just give him your hand // He might love you ✨
Finally finished my first DBD edit, just in time for Pride Month to wrap up. Shoutout to my favorite bitchy bookish gay and smiley chaotic bisexual 🏳️🌈
Awww
Pins & Patches release day is fast approaching!

Hiya! I lover your stories, especially The Summer Boy series — which brings me to my first question. Re-reading it for the oomphtieth time made me curious about Terry Pratchett’s work. But me oh my, has he written a lot. So I was wondering, which books do you recommend to start with? I’m asking books because my local library doesn’t have all of them, so if you would be willing to give a couple recs, the chances are bigger they have at least one of them.
Then my second question: I’ve been getting into creative writing (fiction, both fanfiction and original stuff) recently and I’m really enjoying it. Since you’re a writer that I admire, I was wondering if you’d be willing to share any tips? Because so far the only thing I know is write as much as you can — which is what I’m doing, but I was wondering if you had any other general tips to improve.
No obligation to reply of course, and you can also reply to just one of my questions if you don’t like the other lol.
I hope you had (/have) a lovely day and again, your work is amazing.
Awww, thank you so much for this lovely comment. I’m touched that you’ve reread the Summer Boy series so often (and yes, I promise Easy Scrambling will be finished – it’s gonna take a while, though). As for Terry Pratchett’s (GNU) works, there’s actually a big discussion what book from his Discworld series to start with, and there are many, many answers. The only thing people seem to agree on is not to start with The Colour of Magic, the very first book in the series, and I see their point.
The Discworld books have developed over a long time, and from starting out as parodies of well-known fantasy and fairy-tale tropes they have developed into biting social commentary (while still remaining witty, funny, and, most importantly, humanist). So ... where to start. The Discworld books are mostly organised into several series, each of them focusing on particular characters or groups of characters, such as the wizards of Unseen University, the witches of Lancre, the Watch of Ankh-Morpork, Death, etc. My Summer Boy series and also one of my Dead Boy Detectives fics, The Case of the Stolen Barrow, were heavily influenced by the Tiffany Aching series which ties into the witches of Lancre. The first book in this series, The Wee Free Men, is very good starting point into Discworld. The whole Tiffany Aching series is brilliant.
Good standalone Discworld books are Small Gods, The Truth (uncannily perfect book for our present problem with fake news), Unseen Academicals, Monstrous Regiment. Other good starting points are Guards, Guards (for the Watch) or Going Postal (another great commentary on certain technical developments). Apart from the Tiffany Aching series, I think at the moment, The Truth, Going Postal and Monstrous Regiment are among my favourites, together with Night Watch, although the last makes more sense if you have read more books in the Watch series first.
Terry Pratchett has also written non-Discworld books such as Good Omens, and also Dodger, which is a brilliant one set in early Victorian London.
Anyway, I hope your library has got some of them. If you like audiobooks and can somehow get the unabridged versions read by Stephen Briggs, totally get them. He does an absolutely stellar job at voicing all the characters, and particularly the Nac Mac Feegles from the Tiffany Aching books are so, so, so good when read by him.
Concerning writing advice, I think writing a lot is a good start. Also reading a lot, and different types of stuff, too. I’m lucky that I’m not usually afflicted by writer’s or artblog, mostly because I have plenty of different projects going on at the same time and generally not a lot of time to devote to fanstuff, meaning that time spent on writing fanfic or creating fanart is precious when it’s available. So I guess being busy helps keeping away the fear of the white page.
Generally, I don’t work with lots of notes and outlines, not even for long, plotty fics. Most plotlines and even bits of dialogue live in my head, for years since I mostly write chronologically. This approach doesn’t work for everybody. Some writers plot and outline a lot and write scenes out of order. I guess writing a lot helps finding out what type of writer you are and what works best for you. The way you write may also be different depending on the story. A dialogue-heavy one-shot may be something you can write down in one sitting without an outline, while a multi-chapter fic with different character points of view and narrative voices may need more plotting. With my Sherlock casefics, I always kinda knew where I wanted it to go and was therefore able to plant clues in early chapters despite writing chronologically, but I was open for the fic to take a different route, too.
So ... yeah, I think there’s a lot of trial and error involved. Start out with shorter stories with an easy structure and branch out from there. And enjoy it. In this age of plagiarism machines, people tend of forget that writing is not just about the end product. It’s about the process (including the struggles!). Develop rituals around your writing practice, things you enjoy and cherish. And don’t be disheartened if things seems stuck or you don’t like your writing. Everybody has these moments. Step back, do something else (perhaps work on a different story), and then return. And most of all, have fun!
