From the list of questions for fic writers (way late on this one): What do you wish someone would ask you about TTOU? Answer it now!

Aaaaah, you are not too late! By all means, I love asks/ask memes, so the more the merrier. :D

What's a question I wish someone asked me about The Thick of UNIT? Hmm... that's a good one.

Aside from, you know, asking something that sort of uncorks the block I've got in the story writing process (*Sign of the Cross*), I guess it would be something about how UNIT is structured and how it fits within the current UN's system. I have lore. Did you know that the TTOU-verse UNIT is actually UNIT 3.0? Yes, there were two short-lived prior versions of UNIT within-universe... and that's only the tip of the iceberg. You can get some hint of lore in the author's notes of Rocks Are Dumb and So Are Lizard People, but that's neither here nor there. Anyhow, there's a lot to consider, and while I haven't considered everything, I have taken lots of thought into shit.

Want one of these fan fiction questions answered? I'm still taking asks!

Oh, I picked up on the Gordy/Kanda sequence of events :) since Lex initially introduced them with the goal of shoving them together, I bet the knowledge it finally happened was worth the hangover. I have so many thoughts about both weddings (Rajit and Florence getting along? Yes please!). At some point I'll write a bunch of them to get them out of my system. I'm currently in the "write everything down so it doesn't eat me alive" stage of fandom obsession.

Artist's rendition of my mental state right now:

Aparajita and Florence absolutely get along. The latter loves anyone who can genuinely take her son down a peg or three, which the former definitely can, and it's kind of like how Lex and Glenn get on alright, except it's a bit more of a headache for Malc lol

and yes it was worth the hangover and the being sick all over her cousin's bathroom floor and risking being sick in her best mate's car

Every so often I get into a fit like that too, where I have to just write down EVERYTHING or else I might explode, and I have to say it's still absolutely lovely that the "fandom" involved here is my crackship oh gosh *v*

Hi, racingincircles again. TTOU question: was Aparajita invited to Malcolm and Kate's wedding? She wasn't mentioned in the wedding chapter but seems close enough to Malcolm to at least be considered, and she said earlier in the fic that she wanted to come to a hypothetical garden party Malcolm said he would have at Kate's house. (Is this for fic chain reasons? Maybe.)

Ay yoooo! I've been behind on, like, everything on this blog lately, and I'll hopefully be able to post the first part of why later on today (ahahah don't you love it when fic you don't normally do just takes over EVERYTHING?! lololol), but until then, I can at least drop this.

Yes, absolutely Aparajita was invited to Malcolm and Kate's wedding! I did have a list of the people who went, but it's not in my notes document, so I probably just counted it in my head at the time. Going right now, just off the top of my head, I'm guessing, like, forty-ish people there...? 'Cause I could name people into a count of twenty-something, but then I know it was bigger than just twenty-something, but at the same time, they aren't going to just leave the Mainframe unstaffed for the proceedings, so it's not like absolutely everyone was there. Aparajita was there, dragging along Jabril, and the two of them had a lovely time harassing her coworkers (and getting approval from Florence for doing so), gathering intel to harass Malcolm with later, and laughing as they watched Glenn dodge the MacDonald-Richards duo. Ultimately, it was a much smaller wedding than what Gordon and Kanda ended up having, due to extended families and whatnot, but that's neither here nor there.

also wanted to say that since there was a little bit of ambiguity to this fact, but Gordon and Kanda definitely hooked up the night of the wedding after making sure Lex wasn't puking-her-guts-out drunk, OF WHICH I HAVE SOME STUFF WRITTEN FOR SHARING LATER MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT, so there is that to consider as well
