The Kraken and the Maid

Hi! I'm Maggie. This is a multi-fandom, multi-shipping blog. You'll find plenty of Teen Wolf and Merlin stuff here, but also some Harry Potter, Joss-verse, Avengers and Doctor Who. This is a slash-friendly, het-friendly, poly-friendly place. I'm very sex-positive, kink-positive, lgbt-positive, woman-positive sort of person. Stop by and say hey!

Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Word Count: 13,410 Rating: Teen Summary: If there’s one thing Stiles Stilinski knows, it’s that Deputy Derek Hale absolutely Does Not Like him. The only reason Derek even tolerates him is because their kids are worryingly codependent.

So Stiles is understandably confused when a very feral Derek shows up in his backyard after a call gone wrong and proceeds to move in with him.

The reveals have been posted, so I can finally link you guys my pinch-hitter fic for the TW Fall Harvest! It ended up being about 8k longer than I thought it would (oops) but really that shouldn’t surprise anybody by now.

Hope you’re ready for some single dads, magic!Stiles, deputy!Derek, and feral!Derek, because that’s what I’ve got.

Based on this prompt that I scribbled out ages ago, and written for the lovely @marguerite26, one of the mods for this event.

Hello everyone, now seems like a good time to finally tell you all about Pillowfort.io, a blogging platform that I (juliabaritz) and vaguestblogging have been working on for a while. Basically, we wanted to start a new blogging platform that takes our favorite features from sites we’ve used like Tumblr and LiveJournal, and create the best kind of blogging platform we could think of. Our goals for Pillowfort are to create a place where fans and creators alike can share their work, create a community of their own, and do so in a positive and safe environment.

On Pillowfort you’ll be able to run a personal blog similar to how Tumblr blogs operate, but also create communities similar to the ones that LiveJournal features, so that you can easily share content with people who share your tastes and interests. We’re also working on privacy features like blocking users, the ability to make posts rebloggable or un-rebloggable, and creating privacy lists so that your posts will only be visible to certain users. In the next few weeks, we’ll have more detailed posts about what Pillowfort is going to look like and what features we’ll be including, but above are a couple screenshots from the current state of the site so you can see what we’re going for.

We want to get the word out, so share this post if you would be interested in using a site like this so we can get an idea of how many people are interested! This site would also be a very large undertaking for us to attempt to finish ourselves, so we would love for people who would be interested in helping us with the programming to contact us and let us know that you’re interested. The app is built on Rails and currently deployed on Heroku (using Postgres for the database), so a familiarity with Rails and PSQL is greatly preferred.

[zetsubonna]

Interesting.

[prismatic-bell]

So basically, what Dreamwidth is to LJ, you’re hoping Pillowfort will be to Tumblr?

SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.

[beck-liz]

Haven’t had a chance to look at this, and apparently there’s also something called soup.io? But maybe there might be some worthy Tumblr alternatives out there.

TEEN WOLF FALL HARVEST POSTING HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!

Hey guys! The day is finally here. We’re posting!

To our lovely participants, remember that you are to remain anon until the reveal in December. In the meantime, when you see your work go up, be sure to go into AO3 to change your entry’s posting date to the current date so you don’t get missed on feeds and searches.

To our lovely readers, kudos, comments and recs are SO IMPORTANT in an anon fest. Our participants have worked hard creating these gifts and they are anxious to hear how much you liked it.

Happy Fall Harvest!

[marguerite26]

Reminder

Since we’ve received a few questions on this topic.

Fall Harvest is an anonymous gift exchange. As part of our rules, we ask that all works created specifically for the fest are not posted to twitter/tumblr/other social media before the END OF THE FEST. The end of the fest is when the last work has been posted on AO3 and then the mods will “reveal’ the creators. Part of the fun of the fest is guessing who created what.

A C&P of our rules regarding anonymity are below.

Thank you. and Happy Fall Harvest.

8.In order to preserve anonymity, all fanworks must be able to stand on their own and not be part of another series or a sequel/prequel to other works by the same fan.

9. All fanworks posted to our AO3 collection will be exclusive to the community until the names of the creators have been revealed. Please do not post your works elsewhere on the Internet until that time.

Starting new shows or returning to old ones, I’ve realized that I have an inability to judge them on a relevant scale anymore.  I’m afflicted with a serious case of “Jeff Davis damage,” and giving points for things like:

Discernible timelines.

Knowing how old your characters are.

Having characters that leave and yet are still remembered.  You know they were once there, they left a mark, characters haven’t inexplicably forgotten their name or existence.  They’re not NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN.

Deaths that occur and have an actual, notable impact on the people left behind.

Not bringing in new characters and then forgetting why.

Not resurrecting a character into an angry purple smurf.

[marguerite26]

•  Main characters having first and last names
