happy Finite States day!!!

TWO YEARS AGO I wrote "decompression sickness", which kicked off the "Finite States" micro-universe for my Tron fics (and heralded my descent into becoming tronblr's resident Cyrus apologist).

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I'm still super proud of this fic, and I love the version of the Grid that I'm building with the series as a whole. Hopefully I'll come back to the rest of "Mirror Image" soon -- but I'm really excited for the prequel stuff I'm working on with "SIGNAL // NOISE" in the meantime. :-)

(Not-so-fun fact: this story was the last thing posted by the venerable ao3feed-tron account. I know it's not my fault, but I still feel a shred of responsibility. Someday I'll make myself learn how tumblr's API works and write us a replacement.)

the plan is... the plan changes.

Whelp. It's been a fun week.

First, my tumblr blog got nerfed, so I had to move. Guess it's a good thing I decided to start moving things over here when I did. All my shortfic requests are inaccessible (they nuked my inbox and messages), so if you had some in there and remember what they were, feel free to send them to the new blog.

And then the Angstpril 2024 prompts dropped... and I like more of them than I expected. Maybe I'll do some of them as idea-generation/spitballing for "SIGNAL//NOISE" and "Mirror Image." I don't usually post prompt challenge stuff on AO3, so they'll probably live here (i.e., reindeer flotilla dot net), and get cross-posted to the "Finite States" Breakpoints tumblr.

now that the season is winding down: this is what my altar looked like for all of December, when the kitties weren't hanging out on it
