I know there’s not a ton of people left who actively care about this fandom. But of the ones who do, I’m guessing at least a few of you still follow my blog(s).

So here’s a quick writeup! Let’s find out if anyone has feedback.

For people who weren’t in this fandom (or have forgotten the details by now), I’ll start with some backstory.

( A little unwieldy, a little awkward. It kinda counted on taggers having pre-existing knowledge of “which terms the LiveJournal-based fandom uses in which specific ways.” But for a long time, it worked! )

Thursday is here with recs for you!

This Thursday, I'm recommending everyone do a quick brush-up on the recent community rules update, especially since I'm adding a teensy bit more today: Dreamwidth Admin privileges do not allow me to edit post content, only to add or remove tags, change age restriction settings, or delete entries entirely. So starting now, if I notice that your entry has needs a cut, I'll do my very best to get ahold of you ASAP to fix things, but if you don't respond or find a way to contact me in 48 hours, even to say "I'm sorry, I don't have proper computer access at the moment!", I'll have to delete the entry. This is not something I want to do; I'd much rather just change the access level to Private (where presumably only the poster and the community admin can see it), but that doesn't seem to be an option at the moment. I plan to ask about that when I get a moment, but in the mean time, those are the options.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this, or any of the new rules! I'm open to input on anything community members think needs adjusting.

On a lighter note: Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!

Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!

Made for

halfamoon Day 11 - The Explorer. As soon as I saw the prompt I had to do my favorite female explorers - Sydney Fox (Relic Hunter), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), and Nell Jackson (Renegade Nell). Sydney and Lara could also represent Day 9 - The Scholar and Nell could represent Day 5 - The Outlaw.

Preview

Relic Hunter, Tomb Raider, Renegade Nell.....

“Part 1” of The Rose Field was chapters 1-8. “Part 2” is twice as long (chapters 9-22), and I haven’t gotten any less chatty. So you’re getting a Post 2A and a Post 2B. Look forward to a 3A and a 3B to finish off the set.

As of this roundup, I’ve finished the whole book. Post will have light spoilers, in the notes I put in while editing. Comments are a free-for-all.

Still adding relevant BBC HDM screencaps to break up the text.

Sidenote: At some point in the middle of the original liveblog, I managed to injure my hand. Nowhere near as bad as Lyra’s — I kept an ice pack on it for the first several hours, and within two days, it only hurt if I touched/bent the injured part wrong. (The next week saw a steady decrease in which kinds of motion counted as “doing it wrong.”)

But every time I did, I remembered how Lyra’s spent this whole book with full-on broken fingers, and have an extra wince of sympathy. The only treatment she’s had is some (rose-scented) salve. She hasn’t even splinted them! Has to be a miserable, constant pain.

Lyra portal screencap, in here twice because I like it

( Didn’t you set off to find Lyra’s imagination? You must have had some idea of what you were looking for... )

Name: First Kiss
Story: Tales From the Neighborhood
Plot Thread: Singularity
Colors: Warm Heart #25: Spite
Styles and Supplies: Gesso, Silhouette, Life Drawing, Tempera ("Seven of cups is the card for day dreaming, illusions, wishful thinking, and fantasies. This card usually shows up when you have plenty of choices and need a vision to make them a reality. This card prompts you to prioritize your values and goals, and differentiate between what is truly important to you and what merely appears enticing in the moment. It serves as a gentle warning not to lose yourself in a maze of illusions and distractions."), Oils ("I wish I had your confidence."), Stain ("Treasure your relationships, not your possessions." - Anthony J. D'Angelo)
Word Count: 2405
Rating: PG
Warnings: Teenagers (Also, there is another trans character in here who is being misgendered/deadnamed due to not having figured out they are trans yet. However, since they don't actually figure themselves out during the course of this piece, which character it is will remain a mystery for the time being.)
Characters: Garrett Thomas, Benjamin Thomas, Casey Hanby, Victor Thomas, Matilda Bren
Summary: Garrett and Benjamin make a bet.
Notes: The full name of this plot thread is a slight spoiler at the moment, so for now it will just be known as "Singularity". This is related to the Grant/Scott/William plotline in that it is partly about Grant and Scott's younger relatives (see the Sim Notes for how all these guys are related), and I'll be leapfrogging these two plotlines for a little bit. One other thing to note here is that these are supposed to be fairly young teenagers at this stage in the plotline, but I wasn't really thinking about whether they'd be able to drive yet or not, since Sims teens can all drive as soon as they age up from children. So please just imagine that the driving age in Sim World is like 13 or something.

This weekend, February 13-15, we will be tabling at Boskone 63, at the Westin Boston Seaport District, Boston, Massachusetts. Tabling hours will be 4-8 Friday, 10-6 Saturday, and 10-3 Sunday. To make up for the sick day at Arisia, we will be debuting four new titles, creek don't rise! All of them are short stories, and two of them contain all-new material available nowhere else (yet): Sacrificial Stories of the Neverwas, a collection of imaginary folk takes on the nature of sacrifice, and Kayfabe in the Coliseum, a pseudo Greco-Roman tale of prizefighting and metanarrative.

The other two are a zine version of Crazy Boys Get Money (with an illustration I'm proud of!) and Time is a Mobius Strip, which is a compilation of two short stories, "Ana, Chronistic", and "Chrone," originally published in Flights of Reality under the name "Better Luck Next Time."

All of the stories have been edited for print. Hope to see you there!

EDIT from Rogan: Just realized this I guess makes Crazy Boys Get Money a Valentine's Day debut. Well, maybe it's happier than Red Roses, Old Horses?
