Hi! I already asked if I could bind Regina's Ode to Edonism. And I've been thinking about what to do about it since then. I now have an idea. It is something simple with a classic look. I am not an artist, so there probably won't be all those wonderful graphics inside you see in fanbound books. Anyway, there is an event related to "FanFic Writers Appreciation Day" (21st of August) where ppl can bind a fic and gift a copy of the book to the author. I 'd like to participate for the first time, and I would love if I could bind ROTE. There is a whole template on how to ask, but I did it my way :) And if you are interested, I can DM send a link to the doc with all the infos so you can have an idea what it is and can decide. Also you can use the tag @ffwad here on tumblr to see posts from past years.

I will bind it anyway for me (and for you if you want) outside of the event, though. :)

Thanks a lot for sharing your works. They are truly great.

Hi! @italianbeatrice

I'm so glad to hear you already have an idea that excites you about this project. I've always believed that the more art inspires art, the better. And, well, the fact that you're considering doing something with something I created means you consider it art in some way, and that makes me feel very touched and grateful.

I have no problem at all if you want to participate in the event with my fanfic; in fact, I consider it an honor. Just don't forget to mention my name and all that.

I don't know if it would be very expensive for you to send me a copy, since we live on two different continents, but I really don't mind if you do it for yourself.

Sending you a hug, and thank you for all the love you've given my work.

This is your weekly reminder of my fic update. If you're wondering, from the last post, if I caught that nasty flu, yes, I did. I no longer have a fever, but my lungs hurt and I have a terrible cough that's making me wonder if I should quit smoking.

I should.

I won't.

Happy reading.

Chapter 29 is finally here. I don't know how many more chapters are still to come, but we're getting closer to a resolution.

Remember that I always leave a notification here in case the AO3 emails are slow to arrive.

Oh, and I left a little note in the chapter, but I'll mention it here too. There's a nasty flu that's hit my house. If I disappear for a bit before the next chapter, it's not because of a shootout; it's because I caught it.

Happy reading, everyone!

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 of my funeral home AU is now available on AO3.

[mpskyfall]

Personal Headcanon:

Regina is a literature nerd who recites poetry when drunk, but not nice things, I mean The waste lands by T.S. Elliott, or Der Erlkönig by Goethe.

And her voice modulation turns Emma on.

[mpskyfall]

It would be like:

"Tell me more of this creepy city in the sea while I undress you, my queen"

"Oh Emma, No rays from the holy Heaven come down On the long night-time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently— Gleams up the pinnacles far and free"

Chapter 27

Well, as usual, here's your weekly update on the funerary universe. I'm not sure if AO3 is sending out notification emails, so I always leave a reminder here. Happy reading.

[mpskyfall]

Friendly reminder that us, the real Mexicans, don't give a shit about 5 de mayo.

I mean, it's a win battle in a war we loose.

And we don't wear zarapes and sombrerotes anymore. Not even the peasants like me.

Some of us don't even get drunk about it. It's just a day in May in that we don't go to work.

One thought I go back to constantly is how the couple that adopted Emma when she was a baby, just sent her back when they found out they were going to have a biological baby. Just like that. Even though they'd had her for a year and even gave their last name to her, they just got rid of her just like that. AND then the thought continues on to Regina, who went to SUCH great lengths to get her revenge, finding out that if she kept Henry, Emma would arrive one day to "ruin everything". And then deciding to erase that knowledge from her memory because she already loved Henry so much, she couldn't give him up and didn't want that knowledge to affect how she raised him. And then I cry.

[mpskyfall]

I feel like it’s not talked about enough that Regina adopting Henry inadvertently saved him from the Darling brothers. The years Henry spent in Storybrooke kept him out of Pan’s grasp until the curse was broken. And when Pan finally caught him, she was essential in saving him.

And the show never brings it up again. We don’t even know if Regina or Henry knows. But it’s there.

And I don’t know if Emma—alone, unemployed, and pretty vulnerable—would have been able to keep him safe from the Home Office if she had kept him.

Things that only happen to me: today a stray cat stole my tostada de trompa from my car. It was a double one and I planned to eat it tonight.

She was a mom, so I think it's ok.

But I did really wanted a tostada de trompa.

This story has a happy ending: Just bought another one. Bigger this time.

Chapter 26

This week's chapter features a cameo that will only last two or three chapters, but it was fun to write.

Happy reading.

people who read other people's fanfics and see themselves as fanfic writers' "customers" may be one of the most unpleasant people you'll encounter in fandom space.

as a fanfic writer, no, I do not write for you. I write for me. I just post my stuff online for people to read, but that's an act of kindness, it's not "me trying to please you". if you like what I write and if you support me and are kind to me, then I appreciate you. from the bottom of my heart.

but if you don't like what I write, that is fine too. that just means my works are not for you (well, they are for me, the writer. I write for my own enjoyment first and foremost), you can quietly leave, find something else to read. or, better yet, write what you want to read yourself.

you are not fanfic writers' "customers". you read their works for free because they're kind enough to share their works for free. you're reading someone else's hobby. if you keep being rude and entitled to fanfic writers, one day you'll end up with no fics to read, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

for the hundredth time, treat fanfic writers and fan artists with respect, or stay quiet.
