Howdy! 👋

I'm currently looking for beta reading and/or editorial assistance on my first novel.

Summary: At 28, John Rich is the youngest cover artist in the illustrious history of The New York Review. This means that, every week, he draws a portrait of some notable person and this portrait becomes the cover of this very prestigious magazine. But when John is tasked with drawing the supposedly vapid (and obviously gorgeous) action movie star, Tyler Hughes, he discovers that Tyler is the one person he cannot draw.

contemporary queer romantic comedy

90,000 words.

Fill out the form here—we might work well together. Edit: I've gotten more than enough lovely responses! Thank you!

i once again have Many Thoughts on yet another ex-buzzfeed group extending their platform to a streaming service via vimeo bc youtube's monetization system is very clearly not working with them

i still have drafts of my gripes re: watchertv from a month ago, and now i just have a fascinated morbid desire to compare it to 2nd try, along with some random insights as a poor working creative myself

i may share My Thoughts now that the topic's relevant again, but we'll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[jercythesiscrying]

bumping this bc i have nothing better to do with my free time i'm a giant nerd i'm a curious cat, i've been looking more into how youtube creators are creating/hosting their new streaming platforms

some of the stuff i've found are fascinating and reflective how these transitions have kinda been a long time coming

since the original post got likes i may share my random findings here but we'll see lol. this reblog is mostly to remind myself since my memory is crap 😅😅

[jercythesiscrying]

it's been almost a year and i am once again thinking about finishing that monster rant re: watchertv being a horrible move that is only 1/2 finished with a word count at 2k iirc

bc there's been new developments and i can't believe basically nothing has changed from my original essay

if anyone's still interested i make no promises but cheerleading is always welcome lol

[striveattemptfail]

for the small overlap of my followers in the centre of the batman/check please venn diagram: take a trip with me to batfam x omgcp hell lol

some prior notes before i get into this:

for my own safety and sanity, i primarily won’t be focusing on the grimdark, death-filled origin stories of the batfamily

i will be fucking around with ages, characterizations, and relationship dynamics from both omgcp and dc bc this is my au and i do what i want lol

there’s gonna be a fuckton more under the cut bc this is all stream of consciousness and i needed to get it down or else my brain wouldn’t shut up about it /);w;(\

jack zimmermann is The BatMan

broody, black-haired, blue-eyed, soft-spoken giant of a man who can terrify others with a glare

not quite a playboy in his civilian identity as jack zimmermann, but defo a himbo who trips over his own words and generally has no idea what he’s doing if it isn’t about his family or his family’s giant corporation

also pressure to live up to parents’ legacy as positive figures who constantly made changes to the city they loved? trying to follow in his father’s footsteps as an amazing philanthropist and business man?

*chef’s kiss*

he’s awkward and perhaps robotic about it sometimes but he loves his family (old and new) with all his heart and will fight the world to protect them

eric bittle is catwoman the night cat

flirty chatty, sneaky cat burglar who steals to fund his own interests

(it’s baking we all know it’s baking lol. he has a dream to start a career in the food industry but he can’t afford it yet so…….. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

bitty’s got soft hands and quick technique—there’s nothing he can’t break into or break out of so long as he’s got the right tools

first meeting with jack zimmermann as the batman was unfavourable for everyone involved. eric was a criminal trying to steal a vintage dining set from the local museum and jack was……very jack about it

their relationship softens as they cross paths more often and they learn about each other’s identities

bitty left home at a young age and never looked back—he may miss his family dearly but it was for the best

besides, if he went back home then how could i run into you, mr. tall, dark, and handsome?

jack is very flustered by him and rightfully so lol

once he’s more integrated into the batfamily, bitty loves everyone just as fiercely as jack does

16 Isagi ships claimed! 🧩

It’s been a week since we opened sign-ups, and we’re thrilled to share that 16 ships have already been claimed! Fun fact: the geniuses and Hakuho students (Rin/Isagi, Nagi/Isagi, and Reo/Isagi) were the first to have both art and fic taken. 👏

We’re looking forward to some of the rarer ships coming through - and there are still plenty of options available, especially for art. If you wanna sign-up... 👀 Sign-ups close on February 15 23:59 JST.

(Psst. The Claimed Ships Table only lists ships that have already been claimed, along with the medium. If your desired ship isn’t there, it’s still up for grabs!)

To everyone who’s signed up or is planning to (if you’re waiting for a sign, this is it!), just are a few reminders:

The fest is anonymous. As stated in the fest info, please refrain from sharing details about your work with anyone (except your beta reader, if you have one) - this includes your claimed ship. You can mention being a participant; however, please avoid posting teasers or previews on any platform before the official reveal day.

Confirm your email. Respond to the confirmation email from us to finalize your sign-up. If we don’t hear back within two weeks, your sign-up will be voided, and the claimed ship will be made available again. You’re welcome to sign up again afterward! (This has now been added to the fest info.)

We’ve got minimum requirements. Your work should just be at least a clean line art on unlined paper or at least 1k words. If you finish early, you may submit your work and claim another ship if you’d like! o7

Posting on AO3 is required. This applies to all submissions, regardless of medium. (This is noted in the sign-up form and has also been added to the fest info for clarity.)

We’re so grateful for the enthusiasm we’ve seen so far and can’t wait to see more of you join in! Though maybe not too many because the mod might not be prepared... 🤣

P.S. Our Tumblr will remain the main hub for information and announcements. However, we’ll also share quick updates and sneak peeks on our Bluesky (which got the first scoop on Rin/Isagi and Nagi/Isagi being claimed for both art and fic 😉).

See you, egoists! 🌱
