she took too long to get in for Mermista's liking... sadly the "quick fire" method didn't work either.

I never thought I'd show up on a lost-and-found. I'm strangely honoured.

The more Star Trek fanfic nibbles accumulate in the enormous folder of absolute dross I call my Drafts, the more I respect the hell out of the published Star Trek authors out there.

Balancing the worldbuilding details - the tech, the jargon - against the characters and themes? It's a hell of a lot harder than I ever realised.

I'm trying to relay a set of events and also tell a story and the events and the details take the wind out of the themes and the story every single time.

Thing is, I know I'm not a bad writer - but wow, keeping the balance between detail and theme is just so much harder in Trek.

I don't think I'm allowed to tag dduane in this as it's fanfic related but if I could i would ask how in the heck she does it because I'm clawing at straws here and nothing's getting these chickens back in their pen...!

[dduane]

It's okay... this is very general.

"How do I do it?" By being careful, and staying out of the characters' and story's way as much as possible. Some details are here:

On becoming a Star Trek novelist - Out of Ambit

(Ported in from Tumblr, for those who don’t want to deal with its data ToS…) tall-tree-tales asked: Hi Diane! I’ve been a huge fan of your S

[thiagoneagain]

Oh, gosh, crap, what, I, what.

Thank you. I'll read and digest, and see if I can't sort out those chickens.

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

[jack-of-blades]

Grabbing you guys for the shoulders so tightly as I say you have to reblog things regardless of how old it is, this is the show and tell website

[thiagoneagain]

i'm still learning this. the algorithm site that burned me the most is honestly youtube, i have long since learned not to like anything unless I am fantastically certain beyond all doubt and then some that the algorithm won't then go:

"Aha. You liked this video. You know who else has interacted with videos that have some of the same words in them? A bunch of horrible manchildren halfway down the fascist pipeline! Here, have a shit ton of angry young white men treating the very concept of diversity and inclusion as some kind of satanic baby-eating conspiracy. Have fun!"

So I signed up for @spopbigbang again and this time I managed to finish the thing...! Here's a preview of The Orrery, a fic where every one of Etheria's twelve moons heralds a different kind of ghost story and a different kind of mourning:

For one perfect moment, she let herself believe. She lay very still and didn't turn around. If she looked, it would be what it was. If she kept her eyes forward and breathed and catalogued everything - the specific temperature that Catra ran, always hotter than her, even in the coldest barracks winters Adora had been the one shivering while Catra complained about the heat; the rhythm of breathing that she'd memorised years ago by sleeping ten feet away from it in a barracks room and never quite forgetting - then it was possible. It was possible that she'd been wrong about the portal, wrong about the switch, wrong about everything. It was possible that the world had snapped back to something workable. It was possible that this was simply Catra, here, in the way that she existed in a bed, and everything was fine. She counted five breaths. Don't look. Then ten. Don't look. DON'T- She hauled herself around, slow, stuttering, the pit in her stomach yawning in dread at the thought of seeing those hollow eyes again. The space beside her was empty. The sheets were cool to the touch. No indent in the pillow. No sign that anyone had been there at all except for the lingering warmth already fading from her back. She sat up, heart hammering so hard she thought it might break through her ribs. The room was empty. Just her, the slow-spreading morning light, and the crushing certainty that she had been alone all along.

Be ready for May 12th - The Orrery and a whole bunch of fantastic She-Ra fanfics are coming for you!

We Started Out All Wrong

Today I posted the last chapter of a fic I started in late 2020.

We Started Out All Wrong started as my usual character-driven smut (heh) and grew and changed. It's a bit of a tangled mess honestly, and it's pretty easy to feel the shape of the three different Thias who wrote it. But I've finished the damn thing, and it's not bad. It isn't consistent, it trips over itself, it starts out trying to be fun smut and then gets kinda bogged down in worldbuilding. But I've been trying to finish it for six damn years, and now it's done, and I cried while I was writing the postscript because I have never finished a story this long before and something that felt broken now feels slightly less so.

It's E-rated, so only click if you're alright with that.

not queuing them (sorry) because this way i don't have to try to wait for the rbs to all clear through and this way i won't get confused about the timing or forget!

[chocyteaa]

I'm back at it again I fear...

[rumirantics]

this is actually how huntrix formed LMAO

quick sketch IT'S YURI DAY!!!

[drill-teeth]

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.

I got the physical copy of the comic book I drew, and I'm so happy...

I think anger gets a bad reputation in trauma spaces a lot of the time.

People will say things like, "Holding onto anger isn't healthy," and I understand what they're trying to say. If years go by and anger is the only place you're able to live, it can absolutely keep you stuck.

But I also think there's a difference between staying angry forever and allowing yourself to be angry while you're healing.

For a lot of survivors, anger is actually an important part of recovery. It can be the moment you stop blaming yourself. The moment you stop minimizing what happened. The moment you realize that you deserved better.

Many of us spent years making excuses for the people who hurt us. We focused on their trauma, their intentions, their struggles, and their pain. We understood them so well that we forgot to make room for our own feelings.

Sometimes anger is what creates that space.

That doesn't mean anger should be taken out on other people. It doesn't mean every angry reaction is healthy. But the feeling itself isn't automatically a problem.

Sometimes anger is simply grief with boundaries.

Sometimes it's self-respect showing up for the first time.

And sometimes it's a necessary step on the way to healing.

[thiakerrigan]

the single most important thing i ever learned was how to feel without acting. chewing through an emotion to get to the core of it is important. never letting yourself feel the anger is just avoidance.
