Con Early Arrivals....

Science and I will be at the Con Thursday night, and we can meet up with y'all early birds to order some pizza or something in the lobby if you'd like.  (My van only holds 7, and I think we've already exceeded its capacity.)

Midsummer Murders update

I have just posted Chapter 2:  Things With Wings of Midsummer Murders, which is part of the Hatch series, a sequel to Murderous Imprint.  

Scattered across the English countryside, drifting from one Bacchanalian gathering to the next, hundreds of people are camping, dancing, singing... and some of them are dying.  How will this relate to John, and the egg he currently nurtures?  Chasing summer festivals on the trail of a murderer, tripping over hints of a 20-year-old crime ring, learning anew about one another, John and Sherlock dedicate themselves to untangling the case.

Chapter excerpt:

It is midmorning on a Thursday, when the egg begins to rock, clicking against its bigger counterpart.  John carefully puts a little distance between the two, and makes sure there is a towel under the egg, to catch any mess.  He waits with bated breath.

It takes half a day, the egg twitching and rocking, annoyed scratching noises coming from within.  Eventually, a claw breaks through, and after that the process is very quick, more scraping claws, the ejection of a leg with draggled wet fur clinging to the flesh and muscle beneath.  Once the shell is first breached, it is only a matter of ten minutes or so before the creature itself is free.

The art in this chapter is by the incomparable KayJayKayMe and JillandSarah.

jillandsarah reblogged your post: Winter Ficlet Exchange?

Are people who aren’t really writers allowed? If so, I’ll throw my hat in. /JG

I don't see why fanarts couldn't be included! What's the ficlet equivalent in art/graphics???

Staircase Wit by splix. it is a series of stories about sherlock as he goes through his life the final chapter is a case fic with John eventual Johnlock where Sherlock is strung up in the wine cellar in his pjs rescued by John. love this one

L'esprit de l'escalier - Sherlock never suffers from it, which isn't to say he doesn't suffer for it. Five times he took a beating, and one time he got away.  Explicit.  42K words.  Complete.

KayJay, you're my hero!  I shall go read it now.  :D

you're writing more cardiophilia sequence this is v exciting for me \o/ -JG

I am writing more of it, indeed! And the fact that it’s exciting for you makes me all kinds of happy, you have no idea <3 I honestly never actually meant for that series to get as out of hand as it has—it was me trying to fill an informal prompt of sorts, like, you know, challenge myself outside of my norm with a (to my experience at the time) semi-uncommon psuedo-kink (which I call that here because I don’t quite think it counts as a KINK in that ‘verse, y’know?), but then it… exploded. Loudly. All over the damned place. I don’t even know.

Stripey!

Yes!  It's one of the best jumpers.  Certainly one of fandom's faves.  :)

*screams*

I KNOW!  Between this and the guy steepling his fingers under his chin yesterday, I feel like I'm in a Sherlock-AU version of work.  But I think it's more that I am viewing work (and everything else) through Sherlock-colored glasses.  :)

Next time say, "Strawberry jam," and if they say "OMG WHERE" then you know they're cosplaying. -JG

OMG.  Best test ever.  :D  I'm totally using this in the future...

anonsally replied to your photo “Thanks to Shiny, I took a quiz to find out which Sherlock character I...”

Apparently I am Mrs. Hudson. :)

Hee!  That seems slightly more accurate than me as Moriarty, though that's a low bar.  ;)  (Glad you found the link... fixed now in the post, but oops.)

clavisa replied to your post “More thoughts on popularity metrics on AO3”

Conversely, as someone who doesn't have an ao3 account and gets all my fic via tumblr, I'm quite sure there's probably the odd multi-chapter fic that I've left kudos on more than once.

Oh, I missed this comment before, I think!  This is a great point about a use case I hadn't thought about.
