Character Cards - Catarina - The Magician

The wonderful @nerdferatum has done it again! Here's the character card for Catarina and omg I'm obsessed.

Catarina is strong and powerful, but has a vulnerability she keeps hidden when it comes to love and I think this card captures those sides of her perfectly. Plus... she's STUNNING. The colours, the design, the levels of witchy sass. Perfection💜

Thank you for bringing her to life for me @nerdferatum!

If you'd like a say in which character cards are created next I'll be putting a poll up next week!

Hey loves! The writing prompt on the r/LITGFanFiction subreddit inspired me to have a go at writing for some of the S6 characters so here’s my entry…

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

There are lots of characters I wanted to write but couldn’t fit in (Roberto, I’m looking at you) so this could be the start of something, but I’m planning to finish my Bruno fic first! I’ve also planned some S6 characters into Island Villa Apartments.

Hope you enjoy it if you read it, it was a lot of fun to write!

Now with a Spotify playlist of the songs referenced in the fic so you can fully immerse in the 80’s vibes while the chaos and fluff unfolds…

What to do in case of a plot bunny attack: Keep calm. Save your last work. You will likely not come back to it very soon. Write down everything you've got inspired to. Do it now or the plot bunny hops away. Feel good and excited about this new piece. Go to sleep. You need the rest, because the plot bunny will attack again. And then rinse and repeat.

Character Cards - Abe - The Hunter

I'm so excited to share this with you! I commissioned the amazing and talented Sara - aka @nerdferatum to create the character cards that are used in the game to determine the order of the recouplings.

Abe is first - and I'm in love with how well Sara has captured him and his quiet strength. And look how gorgeous he is ❤️

My favourite set of tarot cards irl are art deco style and it makes my heart so happy to see the characters drawn in this beautiful style - thank you so much @nerdferatum!

[kittidot]

Um where did that time go?

That crazy little piece of writing at the time when the S2 glitches and Bobby’s amnesia were driving me mad was the first bit of writing I’d shared with anyone ever … love the people and the happiness that it’s brought into my life (not always so keen on the writer’s block and insecurity that I can’t actually write).

Here’s a link to my first attempt - A Pina Colada to Numb the Pain

WWC’s A Beginner’s Guide to Academic Research

We are pleased to present  WWC’s A Beginner’s Guide to Academic Research!

This pandemic project has been over 2 years in the making and we hope it will greatly assist any of our readers who are eager to conduct in-depth research but may be at a loss where to start. 

Go to the Guide Here

The guide is split into 6 parts:

Introduction and Table of Contents

Part 1: Getting Started

Part 2: Searching for Sources Online 

Part 3: Evaluating Sources

Part 4: Navigating Academic Sources 

Part 5: Recognizing Your Limits

Each portion of the guide has links to connect to the previous and next sections. While it is possible to view tumblr pages on phones and tablets through the app, we highly recommend viewing this guide via browser on desktop whenever possible. Tumblr page formatting is better suited for browsers and each section is very dense with information, which will make scrolling in the app or on your dashboard difficult. 

Future FAQ/ Discussion: 

As noted in part 5 of the guide, for the next two weeks, we will be keeping an eye on the notes for this post. If you have further questions or comments about academic research, drop them here and we will select the most pertinent to respond to in a later post. 

If you find this guide helpful, we request that you consider tipping the moderators below for the work and time required from conception, to drafting, formatting and debugging. Their ko-fis are listed below:

Writing tip #2: If you feel the urge to start a new WIP before finishing your old one, submit to it gleefully. There’s no rule that says writing can’t involve a joyous and frivolous pursuit of new & interesting story ideas.

Chapter 4 of Stand Up or Stand Down is up on Ao3 here and this time we’re with back with Bruno who has some tough questions to face as he thinks back to a night when he’d planned to ask a big question…

Can he make things right with Alys and get them back on track or is fate going to deal another cruel hand?

[kittidot]

Am I still stewing on the missed opportunities from yesterday’s LitG release? Yes, I think I am.

[shortmexicangirl]
