3, 4, 17 for the authors ask? :)

3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?

oh DEFINITELY jump around. sometimes i just really want to write one scene that’s in the middle/end of the fic and inspiration like is so rare for me that i just have to go for it!

4. Already answered!

17. What fic are you most proud of?

oh definitely oh, there is thunder in our hearts. i wrote it in a haze between eps and didn’t really have a good idea of what it was going to be when i was writing it but it turned out really well and i’m very proud of it. it was also really the first time my fic got noticed and the response was so lovely, it’s what inspired me to keep doing it!

Hi Nemesis <3,

nike - what are you most proud of?

Hmm... This is an excellent question. Especially in the context of Patriarchy™ which teaches us that women should always be humble and never take pride in any of their accomplishments. We tend to dismiss and minimize our achievements instead of holding them up. When men do it, they are called confident, successful, self-assured. When women do it, we are called arrogant, uppity, braggadocios. That’s right I said braggadocios. And I’m sick to DEATH of it. So here goes.

I’m proud of EVERYTHING I have achieved in life. Especially because I have achieved a lot of these things against many odds. I managed to get my Ph.D. in Science™ while struggling with an as yet undiagnosed chronic illness. I managed to get a black belt in a martial art even though my body was going through constant dislocations and pain. I came here as an immigrant and I have learned English well enough to enable me to write oodles and oodles of gayness for y’all, and I’m also incredibly proud of that. I’m proud of the fact that I don’t ever take shit from anyone. That I haven’t let society dictate how I live, whom I love, or what the everloving fuck I do with my womb. I’m proud of the fact that even though many many years have been incredibly hard, I’m still here, I’m still working, I’m still part of society, and I’m going to keep doing it for as long as I possibly can, because I’m fueled by spite and rage and motherfuckers will never grind me down. I will always and will forever stand up in the face of motherfuckery. And I hope when I’m dead and they cremate me, that they say “There goes El: she took no shit.”

3, 4, 17 for the book meme? :D

<3 Thanks buddy!3. What were your top five books of the year?In no particular order - The Hungry Empire - Lizzie Collingham, The Tiger In The Well - Philip Pullman, The Lie Tree - Frances Hardinge, No Name - Wilkie Collins, and The Gardener From Ochakov - Andrey Kurkov.4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?This is a cheat answer really, because I read two of the three books I’ve read by this author in December 2018 - but - Frances Hardinge (on your very good recommendation!) I was genuinely stunned by her masterful adaptation of historical sources and her complex mythologies in books I read late in 2018 but The Lie Tree really clinched it through the characterisation of the main character. I have never read a characterisation of a young woman whose relationship with her gender and the place of women in society paralleled mine so closely. At times it felt like I was reading about myself as a teenager.17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?Pleasantly surprised by how good Savannah Brown’s The Truth About Keeping Secrets was (again on your very good recommendation!)

listen you know i'd die for each and every one of your fics!!!! but i think a lot of my faves are in orange you glad. established relationship is one of my fave things and orange you glad is a delicious orangey feast of that! also the cowboy au has set up a permanent home somewhere in my brain, i'm always gonna be thinking about long joe silverado and him and flint sharing a horse and that TENT and that INN and ughhh also the maxannejack in that is so precious. and god wrote that too OBVIOUSLY!

tbhhh i’ve never been a fan of reading established relationship, growing up and reading fic, but HELL if i’m not a huge fan of writing it!!! it’s such a treat!!!

you’ve reminded me i need to write more maxannejack. it’s just too wonderful and ridiculous!! and there were so many moments in the miranda fic where i thought to myself “this is gonna fuck cynthia up in particular” just in case you felt personally victimized by that one >:)

i love you thank you!!!!!

married by the ocean by @reluming

One night, he dreamt of wild dark curls that streamed in the wind, and all of the next day, he was even more unsettled than usual, something straining under his skin like canvas billowing in a gust, swelling full, his whole body whipped by the force of that longing. That evening as he came back into the harbour, he watched the crates of copper ore being loaded onto the ship that would sail in the morning for Bristol to deliver its cargo to the smelters there. He thought of buying passage for himself on that ship, but as always, he buried that thought.

In his dream, the man with the dark hair had grasped his hand and asked him, “Why don’t you come home, James?”
