I can’t see
Yes, it’s true. I just had a vitrectomy which has left me with 30% vision in one eye and zero in the other. What does this mean for someone who lives to write? I’m guessing you might know. One month and I’ll find out how much is coming back. Who knows, might inspire a painstaking one-letter-at-a-time whump/angst fic!
Uppercuts
A second fic in my "Tracy Brothers have secrets" theme, just posted at A03!
Gordon hauled himself up on his elbows and squinted one-eyed at Scott. “Lay off of Johnny, will ‘ya? I have the name, and that’s where it ends. For both of you,” he emphasized, including the astronaut in his gaze. “Last time I looked my age started with a two. I can handle my own shit.”

Thunderbirds are Go - New AU
So before I put more time into developing this AU and actually writing a fic, I'd love to know your thoughts.
INTERSTELLAR RESCUE 2165 (IR 2165) Thunderbirds are Go AU ©Phade 2025
Interstellar Rescue is a Thunderbirds Are Go AU series. To best describe it in a sentence, the Tracy brothers and their Thunderbirds have travelled through time to the year 2165 (year the first Thunderbirds TV show aired + 200). Scott is still a flyboy, still in command, specializes in interspecies diplomacy and strategy. He is CEO of TRIAM (Tracy Resources, Industry, Agriculture, Mining), the interstellar version of its parent company, Tracy Industries. Virgil has a bionic arm due to a near fatal injury, specializes in medical and extra-terrestrial life forms as well as being the primary operator of the rescue avatars. John is a somewhat reluctant telepath, a genius IQ astrophysicist with a photographic memory, specializes in sentient language translation. Gordon, ever the swimmer, specializes in all aspects of liquid and gel atmospheres and has the ability to shape shift (morph) into inhabitants of both. Alan has an experimental brain implant which allows him to connect with just about anything electronic including the Webz (combined social media streams from multiple planets). He specializes in code, debugging and – off the record, of course – hacking.
Thunderbirds One (Scott) and Two (Virgil) function in vacuum or gaseous atmospheres; Thunderbird Three (John and/or Alan) in vacuum only. Thunderbird Four (Gordon) is transported in Two for deployment in liquid or gel environments and atmospheres. Thunderbird Five has been decommissioned, replaced by Tracy Station, located in deep space. Her AI, Eos, has evolved into an SB (Synthetic Brain) who calls herself Pixel. The family lives on Tracy Station where spaces include the command hub, habitat ring, hypergrav gym, med bay, and aquasphere which includes a liquid pool, gel pools and tanks for Gordon’s use.
Nuclear engines for space travel are replaced by span drives, Mach by SPS (spans per second), hangars by bays, the exosuit by the rescue avatar. The GDF is now the SSD (Solar System Defence). Tracy Island on Earth is reserved for vacations, relaxation and convalescence, the Villa’s infirmary expanded to the equivalent of a trauma hospital. Medical care has advanced dramatically and, as for uniforms, I have always envisioned dark teal.
So what do you think?
I'd not only love reading this, I'd love writing it too!
I'd enjoy reading this AU.
I might need to read a fic or two to decide.
Eh, whatever ...

Just me n' the dog ...
It's late, just me n' the dog, time to write. But which will it be ... the emotional scene between Will and Achë? ... or the equally emotional scene between Virg and John? Decisions, decisions ...

This is the first fic I've published for a fandom other than Thunderbirds. Odd, how much courage it took. Hugs to LenleG for introducing me to Viktor and Jayce.
My Muse is Confused
Innerme (my muse) is big time conflicted. I seriously would like to devote my time to one thing and get it done. I've come up with a new TAG AU, writing the first in the series. Also working on a couple of Marks and Wings, a plain old whump to clear my head, an older brother seeking revenge fic, a fairly long Alan fic (unusual for me). On top of it all, I'm attempting my first (and probably last) fic in a Fandom I've never written for (thanks to LenleG for introducing me to it) and all the while working on the third book in a sci fi trilogy I'm writing in RL. Dios mio, ayúdame!
Paperback Fan Fiction!
Well this is a little weird, but I went ahead and did it anyway! Go ahead and call me crazy.
There's nothing like the weight of an actual book in your hand to reassure you that fanfic is actual writing.
So, yes, it's entirely possible. If anyone is interested in self publishing with Amazon, I'm here to answer any and all questions.
Has anyone ever received an email like this? Any idea what's going on? Is this a scam and if so, what are they hoping to get?
Apparently this is a scam, here's what to do ...
If you received a suspicious email claiming to be from Archive of Our Own (AO3) regarding a password reset, it's crucial to verify the email's authenticity before taking any action. AO3 has acknowledged receiving reports of fake password reset emails and has advised users to update their email addresses and enable 2FA on their accounts.
Here's how to handle such situations:
Don't click on links in the email: Instead, manually navigate to the AO3 website by typing the address directly into your browser.
Check your account: Log in to your AO3 account and verify if any password reset requests were actually initiated by you.
Report suspicious emails: If you believe the email is a scam, report it to AO3 Support and to your email provider.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security to your account.
Change your password: If you're concerned about the security of your account, change your password to a strong, unique one that you don't use elsewhere.
Marks & Wings Thunderbirds AU
I've written a few fics for this series, another awesome creation by Gumnut. Going through my WIPS I notice a few take place in this AU. So the question becomes ... is anybody interested in reading more of them?
Yes
Maybe, if I knew what the AU was about
No, I dislike AU fics in general
No
My muse is jumping for joy at this response. Gumnut's Marks & Wings is by far my fave AU. (Thunderbirds Are Go #wingfic #telepathy #aquatic morphing). If anyone would like the "Coles Notes" so you can start reading the series out of order, just give me a shout.

And now for something a little bit different ...
It Doesn't Hurt and I Hate It

I can't believe I wrote this in less than an hour.

Need tech help with the TAG 2015 Mole
Research in progress for "Alan and the Mole".
Teaser:
It was by far the most dreaded, unpredictable and dangerous situation International Rescue had ever encountered. Alan Tracy was bored.
Can someone PLEASE clue me in to some facts about the "Thunderbirds Are Go" (2015) version of the Mole? I have Googled like a dozen times with a dozen different answers, some of which kinda seem impossible!
::tearing hair out::
Length? Width? Diameter of tunnel drilled?
Max land speed? Max drilling speed?
Power? Engines?
... and most importantly any info on the Jet Pack at the back!
TIA, hugs!
Pleading for Hugs
Hey, Thunderfam, I may need a wee bit of emotional support today and a whole lot of hugs wouldn't hurt.
An anonymous guest posted this comment on A03 after reading my latest fic, “Sixty-Two Million”:
"Oh my god, another one of these stories. You know, the kind where the author clearly spends more time thinking about their OTP than showering. Seriously, the grammar in this chapter alone is atrocious; it's like you just vomited words onto the page. Do you even own a grammar textbook? Or do you just stare longingly at your body pillows all day, dreaming up these bizarre scenarios? It’s honestly baffling how someone can be so invested in fictional characters and yet so completely inept at basic writing skills. Maybe instead of writing fanfiction, you should try, I don't know, interacting with actual human beings? Just a thought. This whole thing just screams "I have no life outside of this fandom."
My response, I hope it's appropriate:
"Do you have any idea how hurtful this is or just how much harm it could potentially do? I’m infinitely glad you sent it to me, though, instead of a young writer just starting out. With eight published books to my name, I believe I can survive your very professional critique of my writing abilities. As for the emotional fall out, time will tell. Because, yes, there is a veritable mountain of emotional fall out.
Everyone who writes fanfic has a life outside of the fandom and their own personal reasons for writing it. In many cases it might surprise you who the actual human being is behind the words. I would welcome the chance to interact with you, perhaps read a piece of fiction that you have written. Feel free to send an email or message but please at least use a pseud instead of hiding behind “Guest” and posting in a public forum. "
Going back to my body pillow now. Thanks for reading.
