OMG you typed 1900 words in a morning I am in AWE! <3

♥︎

Hahaha, I am very, very motivated to finish off this monster today. (Apparently deadlines work wonders on me). My personal record for word count within a day is still that time I was racing to finish off the Big Bang monster back in our SGA days.

It was something truly insane and unbelievable, like 18,000 words I think. I still don’t know how I did that, other than sheer force of will to get the story finished so it could be included in the collection. I think there may have been coffee involved, and maybe wine later in the evening? It’s all a blur. I slept for like a whole week afterwards.

#for-the-flail #today's word count is slightly misleading #in that i have a *very* detailed outline that includes large swathes of dialogue #some of it's embellished and some is me just retyping it all with proper grammar #at least until certain characters start talking and inflating the word count further

So this blog (@for-the-flail) has been listed NSFW by Tumblr. I’ve done the appeal thing, and gotten rid of NSFW reblogs. However, I have no idea if that will help, or if this account will be deleted or shadowbanned or whatever come December 17th.

I’ve started a backup blog, @naye-eyan, where I will take refuge if this account disappears. I can deal with losing all the notes and such, but I really don’t want to lose touch with those stubborn enough to stick around the blue hellsite for things shiny and fandom and fun.

Also, come hang out on Dreamwidth! I am just plain naye there, as I am on Pillowfort.

@laylainalaska We didn’t get the letters cooling but oh, all the h/c… So many happy memories! And the general acceptance of threesomes and other poly arrangements did a lot for me, too. I was surrounded by pretty conservative people (in a very liberal country mind) and it definitely helped make a lot of concepts feel perfectly natural when I encountered them in real life later on.

I KNOW RIGHT?? :D It’s really kind of amazing to me how ahead of its time Elfquest was in a lot of ways. The early stuff still holds up amazingly well, especially given that it was written almost 40(!!) years ago. As well as the hurt/comfort obviously being a big thing, I had no idea when I was a kid how much of a good influence it actually was - the casually-accepted poly relationships, and generally equal relationships between couples; female characters all across the spectrum of gentle mothers to badass warriors to morally gray ally/antagonists to outright evil. The major couple was interracial (apparently one thing that made them pull out of a cartoon deal for the show in the 1980s was because the network nixed the interracial couple, which just, wtffff???) and a lot of the storylines also dealt with prejudice and learning to come to terms with people very different from yourself. Not that it was perfect, it could be quite heavy-handed in some ways and some of the gender dynamics in the early romance stuff are a definite product of the ‘70s, but all in all, if I was going to obsess on something when I was a kid, it wasn’t a bad influence, I think. :D

Also, I don’t think I knew you were into it back then. Small world! ❤

5: List your top 5 anime's!

Any kind of “favorite” list is always going to be hard for me, because I get so specific lol. So here’s 5 anime that I love to rewatch, in no particular order and with no guarantee that they’re my all-time faves or anything.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (this one should not be a surprise to anyone.)

Captain Harlock (...any series with him, really. Just stick the whole Leijiverse into one point.)

Mononoke (weird and artsy and all about a badass medicine seller exorcising unwanted monsters? Sign me the hell up.)

Princess Tutu (the fairytale show we deserve.)

Slayers (extra classic, hilarious, good fantasy world-building, and a side of feels.)

Have you read Becky Chambers? Long Way to A Small Angry Planet and its sequel are exactly this!

I have not! That sounds perfect, thank you!

Aww, your tags on that one post...! ♥ But fortunately nobody sent me personally the comment that sounded like it was very disparaging about my sexuality or I might have had to throw down (gently and politely because I think the person who wrote it honestly thought it was a compliment). It was on a friend's fic. Meanwhile I've been getting the "I hate it when other writers use novel canon" comments on Guardian stuff even though I am *very much in favor* of novel canon so. Yeah. Annoyed. :/

♥♥♥! I’m glad no one sent you that personally -- although still, I understand the feeling of wandering across something like that. It’s not the greatest feeling, regardless of the person’s intent.

And ugh, I’m sorry you’re getting comments like that.And I totally get the compliment people are trying to give: ”You changed my mind/made me like something I didn’t like!” -- but like.. the phrasing really matters. And if you get multiple people giving it, over and over, it feels much less like a compliment, you know?

I also think it’s one of those things that is uniquely muddled by the fact that it happens online, you know? Like if it were a conversation happening in person, you’d see the excitement or reaction on the other person’s face, and so the intent behind the words would be much more clear.

#♥#i forget which fic the little backhanded swipes against genfic was #one of my sga fics back in the day #after about the fifth or sixth review mentioning that i was like #'yeah okay i get it #slash fans don't like genfic. message received.'#for-the-flail

What's next on your To Watch and To Read lists right now?

That is an excellent question. :D

Next on my To Watch list is probably Sirens, a show that @sheronwrites has told me about! (Urban fantasy with mermaids and found family - it sounds like totally my thing.) I also want to catch up on Castlevania now that there’s a new season, the last seasons of Legends of Tomorrow and The Good Place now that they’re complete, and maybe watch more Voltron, which I got like 2 episodes into season 2 before wandering off to other things. Also maybe I should catch up on Doctor Who at some point. (I’m like 2-3 seasons behind.) And I really do want to watch Guardian so I can squee with you guys!

HELP. TOO MUCH TV. NOT ENOUGH TIME. ;___; It’s probably good that my shows keep getting cancelled because otherwise my Netflix queue would be even more out of control than it already is.

To Read: In theory, at least, I want to start working through this growing pile of unread books which is now sprawling off my bookshelves into boxes and onto the floor like some sort of mutant booktopus. I also need to get back to my Read All The Cherryh project (next up: the Faded Sun trilogy and Cyteen!).
