I used to SL all the fucking time, but then drama. Last time I logged in, literally nothing rendered despite my computer being technically overpowered for it.

Was it still in the early days of mesh? Cause things took FOREVER then cause nobody knew how to optimize their mesh yet. Nowadays the big name creators know how to get it done right so things render much faster. 

Also, I always crank down the particle count in graphics, cause I swear they’re on stupid high by default and that slows things down as you’re trying to render a million little copies of the same image as it moves.

I’m waiting for someone to show that Star Trek did something like it first.

I feel like the fact that vulcans are a felinoid species meant dog-sex wasn't really a thing in trek slash fandom. The first time I read knotting porn was in a Smallville fanfic.

Tho I guess you could argue that ABO is the lovechild of pon farr, werewolf porn and bdsmverse (I'm still not sure where bdsm verse came from) (probably also a kink meme) (which one tho?)

That's why I kinda reckoned she hadn't had him change much from Dibs to now. He went from 125ish ("he's only like a 100 pounds!") At the start, then to the definition he had in Dibs. I reckon he came in super skinny but hockey training and Jack pestering had him to his current physique before Freshman year was over? That's when I pick up on a change in drawing him anyway. I'm Bitty's height and I've been his weights before and after training and it's honestly not much :/ I got more definition but next to no bulk, despite it seeming like a decent weight change.

Ok, so honestly...

Anyone in the Yuri On Ice fandom who has not read or is not reading the Translations On Ice series by @jenroses may wish to reevaluate their life choices, because this series is amazing and not to be missed out on!! It will change your life for the better!

… nope, can’t think of one?  “George is a lesbian” became fanon INCREDIBLY quickly after her introduction IIRC.

There was that headcanon that went around that Marty’s last name was also Martin and therefore he and George were married, but since that was heterosexual and professionally inappropriate, it never got far.

Thank goodness he’s a St-Martin.

This pic has been a long way in the making. RL happened, laptop crashed, family members got ill… let’s put this WIP out in the meantime as a token of Not Giving Up :) . It’s part of the Victuuri wedding photoshoot from @jenroses’ wonderful Translations On Ice post-s1 series, part 5: Terminations and Transitions where a whole lotta other cool stuff happens too 8D . By Victor’s most ardent wish their clothes here are meant to be are a luxury fabric porn version of Yuuri’s FS costume. Well they will look more like it once I manage to digitally colour this… my laptop is (still) really struggling atm.

Also my bias towards Daisuki ‘Eros’ Takahashi among the staff’s figure skaters  inspiration sources for Yuuri is sort of showing I think. Bless that beautiful talented creature :°D. BLESS.

The 150k blows me away. Howwwww

I have some theories, but am kinda blown away myself. 

I know the number of chapters plays a part as I get a solid 1800 hits per chapter on average. 

Outside of that... I think that how I started it it, with 3-4 chapters per week meant it kept high visibility in the important early days before it grew into a behemoth. I also tried to post in a specific time of day. 

I think the whole A/B/O thing also plays a part, especially since most have the dynamics switched. 

It’s got good word of mouth though. I’ve found regular readers on Twitter and Plurk (the ones on plurk are mainly Chinese and Taiwanese). So I know it’s got something else working that I haven’t figured out yet myself.

@jenroses replied to your post “SO I was just reading another fic where Bitty was looking for cans of...”

I've made pumpkin pie from whole pumpkin. The results were disappointing. I've made it from pie pumpkin and I've made it from jackolantern pumpkin, and canned was better. *shrug*

I realize in hindsight my reblog might have sounded like I was disagreeing with you -- I was actually agreeing with you wholeheartedly and disagreeing with the OP. I lived in a hippie co-op in California where our cooks were the kind of people who watched Food Incorporated 5 times at the local indie theater and made bulk batches of baked tofu once a week and even they agreed that canned pumpkin pie filling makes better pumpkin pie.
