For the WIP meme: I'm curious about "scratchy backstory." Backstory to what? How did this come about? (Incidentally: I just watched AAA, so thanks for putting it on my radar!)

oh, i am so pleased you watched AAA; tell me all your thoughts :D

so i had a ridiculous amount of fun writing about scratchy in Rabbit Heart and (to a lesser extent) a wand and a rabbit and now i think he is part of my brand, hahaha. both during wandavision and during AAA there was a lot of discussion about what, exactly, scratchy is - i don't remember if he exists in the comics and some theories come from there, or if they were dreamed up during wandavision, or what, but one school of thought is that he is not just a familiar but secretly a demon in bunny form. and @thiswildernessismyhome and i have been talking about agatha a lot (no, really, more than that) and the idea of how she got scratchy in the first place came up. is he a bunny? is he a demon? is he both? what's the backstory!

i only have the start of very sketchy notes for this, but those notes currently include 'she steals the bunny for snuggle purposes' and 'and rio HATES him,' so, take from that what you will!

thank you for asking!

In Episode 144, “Writing Women,” Elizabeth and Flourish celebrate Femslash February by talking to @havingbeenbreathedout, a longtime f/f fic and meta writer. They discuss her route into fandom through queer female erotica, fandom’s longstanding biases towards male bodies, what types of characters get to be “default” vs “political,” and the role desire can play in reading and writing.

Woo, long self-indulgent metas!! Can't wait. I would love to hear specifically about your process developing/adapting the Irene and Mrs Hudson characters for the Bone Fiddle universe, with particular focus on the Irene/Sherlock relationship.

Thank you! I’ll definitely be including this!

I am so excited for you, and i am sorry to hear that you've been having trouble sleeping recently. You are getting somewhere and doing a damn fine job. Gods bless the coming year and all the efforts you put in. <3 

Thanks handsome ❤❤❤ Let’s just hope I keep it up. A track record of a month isn’t much, but it’s a start and I’ll take it lol.

For the slow burn/fake dating/enemies to lovers meme: Mr Collins, Frank Churchill, George Wickham SORRY I CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE REMOTELY APPEALING

ahahahahaha, WHAT. What!!! Okay, okay. I… I can do this.

Mr. Collins: I think I have to go enemies to lovers? Like, I am imagining that we begin with me intellectually eviscerating him, earning his snide enmity. But then, gradually, I will enjoy what the 18thC regarded as the rightful duty of a lover with his beloved: though careful reading suggestions and intellectual discussion, I will have the pleasure of shaping his mind and forming his character. Eventually he will be an acceptable person, and then we will get married and I will enjoy the fussy glamour of proximity of Lady Catherine.

Frank Churchill: fake-dating Frank Churchill was not a successful endeavour for Emma, so I am going to go with slow burn. It’s evidently his mode. I’ll make a pun about churches on hills at a party and it will simmer between us for six months. He’ll anonymously send me a set of beautiful china, which I will publicly use for the first time at a party held on his birthday but ostensibly not in his honour, and I’ll serve his tea third, but we will hold significant eye contact. After several years it will come as a complete shock to everyone when we wed.

George Wickham: this leaves Wickham with fake dating, but really, that seems like the best approach for him anyway. It would have to begin as an elaborate ruse, presumably some money-making scheme or protective measure against consequences for his terrible choices; we would have a BLAST going on ostentatiously risqué dates and rudely monopolizing each other at parties to discuss poetry at length. Eventually, giggling together in his open curricle on a countryside drive, we would kiss where no one could even see us, and realise that that the whole thing is actually really fun, and decide there’s no reason to stop. I will maintain full legal control of my extensive independent wealth as per our marriage settlement, but I’ll give him an allowance sufficient to keep him amused, and maybe we’ll have a threesome from time to time.

….weirdly, all of these sound pretty appealing now.

I’ve never seen a single episode of the L word and I’m still very… familiar… with this scene

I’m really enjoying this narrow and yet opposed range of responses. It is a good scene; it is still not worth watching any of The L Word for.

WOAH i love the floral one! but they're both so incredible!! :o

Thank you thank you!

siveambrai replied to your photoset “[Image description: two pairs of two photos of a woman standing...”

:-O I thought they were dresses originally; jumpsuits are even better!!!

I have SO MANY times had someone compliment one of them as a dress, just to have me gleefully say, “Thanks! It’s a jumpsuit! And it has pockets!” while awkwardly lifting up one leg to show off the jumpsuit-ness. Which is to say, you’re not alone :D

havingbeenbreathedout replied to your photoset “[Image description: two pairs of two photos of a woman standing...”

You have such an eye for prints. That first one looks like something that the Persephone Press people would use as en endpaper, AND WHAT COULD BE MORE FITTING?

Ahhhh, I love that as a connection. It’s from Rifle Paper Co.’s first fabric collection from last year. I’m kind of obsessed with all of their designs and have bought two more since then :D
