Baby sturgeon for your viewing pleasure (not my picture, taken from a news article about a yearly event where people release a bunch of baby sturgeon into the lake to help repopulate it)

I know this is different from your usual content but holy shit I just found out about one of your fics being plagiarized by Layla Moran/Rey Luca I'm so sorry that happened to you

Thanks. It happened a while ago, I appreciate the person who alerted me on AO3, and it looks as if it got pulled down from Amazon fairly soon after that. It is an exceptionally obnoxious thing to happen, especially since my fics are archive-locked and have been for a while precisely to prevent these sorts of things from happening, but there will always be dicks who figure out ways around it and abuse the trust inherent in sharing your work for free in fandom spaces. And like, it's a decently well-received fic but not exactly a Big Name Fandom Staple or something that has zillions of comments/kudos, so it baffles me how this sad, sad person found it and then decided it was perfect to steal. BUT. Mysteries abound in the universe, and I must move on with my life.

However, should you be interested in reading said original fic and not the crappy plagiarized knock off, then you can do so here, if you have an AO3 account:

breath of ash, bone of dust

So yes.

I came to your blog to look through your tag for The Chosen and got distracted by your verified check marks having heterochromia

Some people have them in two-colors I don’t know why

Nona (or my teacher called it Nones so that's how I think of it) in Latin datekeeping is between the Kalends and the Ides. Kalends is always the first of the month, but the Nones and the Ides are *usually* the fifth and thirteenth respectively, except during March, May, June, and July, in which case the Nones is the seventh and the Ides is the fifteenth.

Thank you!

...why is it frontloaded like that? Why aren't there any signposts for the back half of the month?
