do you want to read a 1,500 word post-canon fic about how for SOME reason nobody is worried about Ling Wen returning from her evil interlude to once again take up all the paperwork of heaven, despite how much power that gives her? also about ling wen & pei ming's terrible friendship <3. also about mu qing's "down with the aristocracy" agenda. IF SO:
Just an average Starfleet vessel completely crewed by small animals. Between shifts they visit a communal holodeck village. Nothing serious ever happens.
Until it does and Commander Nook needs to request a crewmember replacement. And the replacement's a Human.
I know I said in my last entry that nothing particularly interesting ever happens on the Nogami, but I would like to amend that statement, yes yes. Something has happened. Not four days ago the kind of weird event that normally only befalls the big-name ships like Enterprise managed to happen to mine specifically.
But we lost Lieutenant Boomer. The wake was… quite moving, really. Now, I'd hate to seem heartless but the moment it was over and I found myself back here in my personal quarters, I immediately put in a request with Starfleet Command for a replacement. I may not be heartless, but I'm first and foremost a professional.
I have to admit, I never really thought anyone could replace Boomer but I didn't expect what Command wrote back this morning.
Super proud that my article "The Multilingual Tapestry of King Alfred Fanfiction" was published in Etudes Médiévales Anglaises (ÉMA, ISSN : 0240-8805). 🥳
It's the first scholarly paper for which I translated from several Asian languages, so a personal milestone. With many thanks to my friends from @japanfans and the Japans Cultureel Centrum Utrecht for their help. You make me happy. 🥰
I wrote every single day this month (outside of my job of course). I wrote 16578 words in total. My best day was January 25 when I wrote 1427 words. My worst day was January 27 when I wrote 10.
#FolkloreMoment : I am currently reading through a folk tale collection from Silesia, and I love that there's an entire section of tales with the theme:
"Salvation-seeking castle maidens who transform into snakes"
It feels good to cut back on a few things and focus on these projects for a while. I have so many in progress right now so perhaps that's what's causing me stress! Enjoy.
I have published a short story called Preludes. It's about a Prince of Amber who is pursued by a devilish mist and must convince a knight to help him so they can both escape.
Having a bit of a rush to get a piece of #fanfiction finished for The Planar Bridge! I've been sitting on this story set in the moment after Atraxa's death for the month, but I'd like to get it done before the New Year 😅
I'm definitely in that category of fic authors in their 30s that write their faves waking up after the best sleep ever. I'm nearing 40 tho and noticing a further preoccupation with how soft and comfortable I can get their clothes and also how nice everything can smell 🥹
I'm debating. I'm writing a scene that takes place after the credits of Phantom Liberty. Valerie is giving someone the rundown of the events from the DLC. Would you write it out? Or do a "She sat down and told them about her last week, everything from [starting point] to [the events of tonight]. When she finished..." summary?
The first option would be better for people who read it (for whatever reason) that haven't placed PL, I guess. 🤔
"Lord of the Rings fan fiction writer sued for publishing own sequel" - slightly misleading headline, given that it wasn't some poor innocent #fanfiction writer on AO3. The writer published his sequel to #LoTR & presumably was selling it. And he sued Tolkien's estate & Amazon first. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67753073
My new pills are making me exhausted and AO3 is being weird with my formatting all of a sudden but I have managed to post a chapter at least, which gives an excuse to finally post the little cover I made. Nardole is AWOL with the TARDIS, leaving Bill and the Doctor stranded in revolutionary France, and the Doctor is enjoying himself just a little too much. https://archiveofourown.org/works/42928764/chapters/132437347#fanfic#fanfiction#DoctorWho#DoctorWhoFanFiction
