Prompt: OC x Canon Week 2024's Dialogue Prompt: "Yeah, it'd be totally weird if we kissed...totally."
Summary: Riddle tries his hand at being a bit selfish for once and throwing caution to the wind.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 3/21/24 and now being archived here! Original notes: Happy OC x Canon Week!! I always get so excited whenever this comes around, so I couldn't resist trying to participate for a few days! Got a late start, but FUCK IT WE BALL! ^ o^)/

“You know what would be really crazy?”

Riddle couldn’t help but roll his eyes. When it came to Theo Valentine, “crazy” could mean several things, none of which anyone was ever prepared for. What was crazy was Theo actually agreeing to buckle down and study for once, and even crazier that he was actually taking notes for a change and sparing the poor library books from his scribbles. This moment of them studying in comfortable silence when Theo is usually quite the chatterbox is about as crazy as they come.

This entire situation to begin with is crazy, so how can Theo even possibly hope to add to it? Riddle’s curiosity is piqued as he peels himself away from his homework to meet Theo’s gaze across the table.

Characters: Sebek Zigvolt, Theo Valentine (OC), (OC x Canon ships get mentioned)
Rating: Teen
Words: 2,412
Prompt: OC x Canon Week 2024's Dialogue Prompt: "Seriously. Thanks for everything.”
Summary: Any other time, Sebek would be highly upset that someone chose to text him in the middle of the night and disturb his rest. This time, however, he’ll be happy he answered the phone.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 3/28/24 and now being archived here! THEY’RE HALF HUMAN, HALF FAE BESTIES, YOUR HONOR!! 🥹❤️ Had this idea for a while for these two, and finally got a chance to sit down and write it out proper!

I also wanted to try out my hand at writing a texting fic and having the names be what Theo and Sebek have each other as in their phones. My personal headcanon is that for everyone Sebek has in his phone, he has them listed as their first and last name no matter how long he's known you (he's just formal like that). My OC Theo is the exact opposite of this and has a nickname for damn near everyone in his phone, including his parents. xD

Anyways, enjoy!! ^ o^)/

Hey Seb
You’re a good friend ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks for everything

The dark entity had prided itself on choosing so pliant a tool: naive, kind-hearted, eager to please someone who showed her the merest shreds of affection and attention. When it offered her the ring of power, it expected her to succumb to the temptation, but it did not expect enthusiasm and tears of joy. It soon discovered that plans to plunge the world into darkness are remarkably easy to derail when pitted against the single-minded determination of a bride-to-be with a wedding to organize.

Managed to get Parts 1/2/5 of the PWKM catalogued on the spreadsheet! Tonight I think I'll take a shot at getting part 3a finished since parts 3/4 are both partial, and then I'm thinking maybe I'll skip to more recent parts and work my way backward for a bit.

But for now...Sonata editing. Check back in an hour to see if I managed to do at least the Daryan section.

Joker Fire Force is a pretty anime man with long hair, one eye, a suit, and a wide smile who’s voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda. He’s a morally ambiguous antihero whose character arc culminates in him setting his rapist on fire. It’s a shame that he’s in the same anime as Miss Lucky Lecher Lure because I’m certain that a good chunk of Tumblr would go crazy for him.

Currently between classes! I spent the first couple of hours after my morning class studying, and now I'm seeing what I can do to spend the rest of the time before my evening class. If either of the classes were in my hometown, I'd just go home for a nap and some relaxation, but unfortunately they're both in the same city where I work, which is half an hour away by car and seems like a waste to drive. I mean, I could still technically get almost five hours at home between classes? But that's a lot of time and especially gas money that I'd just as soon not spend, for the time being. I may change my mind by the end of the semester, but until then...

I only had one item left to do for this week's evening class (one evening a week): A quiz on the first chapter of our textbook, all multiple choice or true/false, three attempts allowed. I got 90% on the first two tries, and 100% on the last one. So far, so good!

I also figured I'd try and get a little bit ahead for my evening class stuff. I have the time, so why not? Unfortunately, I can't actually tell at the moment if what we're going to be assigned this week is three whole textbook chapters, or just the introduction for those three chapters. I read the entirety of the first of the assigned chapters just in case, then threw in the towel for today; I plan to ask for clarification tonight, since the website I access the (legit free) textbook through marks the to-do item complete once I open just the intro part of the chapter. Our reading for last week had been the opening of the first chapter and all three sub-parts, each of which got checked off as I opened them, so I would say I have reason to be confused!

ANYWAY. Wednesdays aside, I have a morning class Monday through Thursday, after which I usually visit the college library to work on homework for an hour or so. I'm pretty sure this is something I can keep up for the rest of my classes, so I'm cautiously optimistic about keeping my grades up for these last few semesters and actually getting my Associate's degree!

So far, so good ✌

As far as where this falls in Rem's canon timeline, this takes places AFTER Rem's uncle tries to kill him (again) and Rem thankfully survives!! xD Enjoy!!

Summary: War General Vanrouge is visiting Fafnir's garden purely on business and is NOT asking him on a small dinner date. Not in the slightest. Perish the thought.

Notes: Originally posted to AO3 on 9/26/22 and now being archived here! Funnily enough this was the very first LiliaFafnir fic I wrote and for some reason folks LOVED IT and it made me feel less alone in my yearning for Old Fae Men Pining xD Even better that now Dreamwidth gets this, too!! Enjoy!

****

For all those times that Lilia shied away from the sun–and for good reason, it was much too bright for his liking–he now found himself drawn to it in Fafnir’s presence. He watched the healer move about his garden in a form-fitting robe of dazzling white, with the butterflies seemingly dancing at his beck and call. Fafnir’s smile alone was enough to be the warmth when one shivered in the cold.

He met those golden eyes from across the way and felt his heart ascend. Who was he to suddenly get excited from a mere glance? A man simply fluttering his pristine white eyelashes at him shouldn’t have been enough for him to see stars. How dare he? How dare Fafnir be so incredible and beautiful and irresistible all at once?

i think that if there is a nigh-universal piece of fanon, and you, by which i mean m stardustrifle, hate that fanon because it involves actively reading against the text/a misinterpretation of what actually goes on on screen, and someone writing a piece of expanded universe material decides to make that piece of fanon not simply canon but integral to the piece of expanded universe material they wrote, you (again by which i mean m stardustrifle) should be allowed to kill and eat that creator

I got an email yesterday from one of my professors who I've been using as a reference. She said she had a student who was in the process of applying to grad school and was looking to hire an editor to help him improve one of his papers for inclusion with his applications. She remembered that I had experience in editing and wanted to know if I'd be okay with her passing on my contact information to him. I was up front with her about my editing experience (I've done lots of copyediting, style editing, and fact-checking, but no real heavy-duty developmental editing other than on my own writing), and said if she still felt comfortable recommending me to him I was interested. After reading this, she said was comfortable recommending me and would be passing my information on to him.

Now we finally get to the question part of this post: I've never hired an editor. I've never worked as a free-lance editor of this sort. But I know a lot of you have editing experience and/or ties to universities, so I'm hoping you can give me some guidance here: How much do editors usually charge for something like this? Should I be charging by the hour or by word count or what? At this point I have absolutely nothing to go on other than my instinctive valuation of money, which I already know is seriously fucked up from years of being broke.

In this Hainish novella set sometime before Rocannon's World, the pacifist inhabitants of an idyllic forest planet are enslaved and brutalized by colonizers from the Terran military who are there to ecocidally clear-cut the forest for wood because Earth is nearly out of trees.

( I have read this book before, but not in a long time because I'm afraid I don't like it. (cut for negativity) )

I appear to be alive. The Rogue Squadron discord (Star Wars rebel pilots fandom, approximately) has been really hopping lately, as much as a fandom that's never gone over a dozen active members in my memory can hop; I've written and published several fics, so many that I'm not sure I've even crossposted them all to here. (I may have, but I'm too tired to check.) Somebody asked about "necroposting" on discussions from a few hours ago -- we're in favor, approximately half the chatter right now is from old LJ-era fans, one of whom recently found where everyone else had gone to (via me, I'm smug) -- and someone else pointed out that the whole fandom is basically necroposting, as the vast majority of our Rebel pilot canon was published 1996–1999 and the final piece of what this group usually works off of is from 2012.

Being the extrovert I am, I've also drawn enough energy and enthusiasm from the chatter to do most of the necessary line edits on the first 136k of a monster fic Leia and I have been trying to finish up. ( waffling )

...where was I? Right. We're also picking up some renewed enthusiasm for the rest of the WIPs we dropped when the fandom died out the last time, but who knows how far we'll get in any of those since we are trying to finish a couple of the current ones first.

I've also been working sporadically on more of that Close Readings meta-analysis piece I think I did crosspost to here semi-recently, but because the author (GNU) had binge-read everything else that was published at the time before writing the books I'm analyzing, they're full of references I keep missing. So I'm genuinely pondering whether to go and read all of the old EU (I actually prefer the current brand name, "Legends") in publication order and make extensive notes. If I do, I'll likely livechat them on the discord because we have a book club channel, then archive somewhat modified versions of the notes here so I can reference them later.

( different waffling )

Had a hard time thinking of something to use for this week. Since I was reading Overgrowth, decided to go with plants... but ended up picking nice, well-coordinated ones more than anything evoking alien invasion, ha.

This week was... meh. Fine. The near-all-nighter when Bella was sick was rough and led to a couple rough days after that. I spent several days also feeling like I was on the verge of getting sick, but seemed to fight it off successfully. Did get a lot of cleaning done, even if it was under the minor duress of an impending inspection. Writing was not zero this week, which was a nice change. Okay amount of reading. I really did make it through most of what I wanted for the week, despite getting sick and too little sleep. Looking back, I described work as "hectic" on at least three different days.

Goals for the week:

I did read more of Overgrowth
I updated my reading page, at least partially
I did try to sort out my upcoming calendar (busy couple of months coming up)
I bought tickets for two shows coming up in the next ten days or so
I did not work on the current WIP
But I did do part 2 (and started part 3) of the snowflake outline for the Worldhopping Fairytale Monstrosity AU
I did get some outside time!
I cleaned up my bedside table (and the drawer)
Apartment inspection was Wednesday

Tracked habits:

Work - 5/7
Household Maintenance - 6/7
Physical Activity - 2/7
Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 1/7 - one day over 500 words, plus two days of less than 500 words
Wrote on 2nd+ Draft - 0/7
Meta Work - 4/7
Personal Writing - 3/7
Other Creative Things - 2/7
Reading - 7/7 - I mostly read Overgrowth, Alex and I read a bit of Duma Key, and I tried to read a bit of my ebook side read but only got through about a page before I got called away, ha.
Attention to Media - 7/7 - Sunday had some youtube on in the background at work, we watched some storm chasing (mostly in Kansas, but there were a few tornadoes in eastern CO), and I listened to Re: Dracula and then some music; Monday, storm chasing in the background; Tuesday, storm-chasing in the background, then later abandoned places videos; Wednesday, more abandoned place videos (including, surprisingly, one that Alex was familiar with from when he lived in Maryland, which was a sort of bittersweet shock when it came up); Thursday and Friday, storm chasing in the background; Saturday, more background storm chasing, and an episode of Re: Dracula.
Video Games - 0/7
Social Interaction - 4/7

1. The boys' father returned from Kenya without any immigration issues. One less thing to worry about. I did laundry today, four loads with his post-trip stuff added to the boys' mountain.

2. I drove about 3 hours on Sunday back and forth across the state taking Minisculus to a soccer tournament and Minor to his track meet. Minor got another PR for the 3000 meter.

3. It's raining. Should be raining all day tomorrow.

4. Trying to organize a plot for my casefic exchange fic.

5. I need to show off some of my new collage supplies. Also, I got some new jigsaw puzzles. All courtesy of birthday gifts/gift cards.

Summary: Vil approaches Ruggie with a small gift! This is out of nowhere and completely unprovoked, understandably putting Ruggie on guard, but...why does this "gift" smell like Rose's perfume?

In a rare moment of peace and quiet, Ruggie was able to work on his studies in an empty classroom. He was so focused on his history book that he almost didn’t see the door swing open. With cautious ears perked to the air, he is given his answer before he could call out.

Apparently my power is out, so I will be staying at the bookstore for the rest of the evening or until it comes back on. I'm not exactly getting anything written, but I also don't want to turn off the computer, so...here I am!

I really need to buckle down and work on Sonata, but I'm not feeling the kind of subtle editing that this chapter needs right now (some rough stuff going on IRL that's making it hard to focus). So instead I'm writing Klavdarpollo accidental kitten acquisition, working on the PWKM spreadsheet, and playing around with an Ace Attorney/Texts From Last Night Tumblr blog.

(Apparently my mental solution to "I'm nostalgic for 2011" is to just...do the stuff I was too shy to do in 2011, LOL.)

We know about Decaf, where by some process, caffeine is removed from coffee or whatever.

I present: Recaf. Where maybe decaf isn't doing it today so you add in a bit of caffeine powder or something.

(I have a flask of decaf on me today, and then we stopped for breakfast and got Coke, and I said "recaf" and had to make the definition.)

Film Noir fanfic vignettes, everybody! (mostly for I Wake Up Screaming)

I seem to be drifting into an obsession with Lionel Bart. Here’s a clip of him in the 1970s visiting the Stratford East Theatre Royal. Having seen a few other photos and clips, the man had a sincere commitment to Hats.

Enjoyed Albert Finney enough in The Green Man that I went looking for Dennis Potter’s Karaoke in which Finney is the protagonist and probable author stand-in (he’s also in the sequel, Cold Lazarus, but it sounds like he’s mostly a frozen head in that one). Accidentally watched the third episode first, which was confusing—I’d a general idea of the plot from the Wikipedia entry, but I was starting to think “oh, so it starts near the end and then tells the story in flashback” and then I kept waiting for the flashback to start. Went back, found the first episode and watched that, which made more sense; although I’m now withdrawing at least half of the sympathy I felt for Richard E. Grant’s character after his beating in Episode Three. Have also decided not to watch this ne with Andrew as there’s at least plot points that would likely be triggery for him.

Have a terrible feeling I’m going to have to read John O’Hara’s Appointment in Samarra for research purposes-– I mentioned in the latest chapter of Gentleman of the Shade that Eddy acted in a movie adaptation – it was just sort of a throwaway bit, but Mel speculated that Lambkin is going to track the movie down and watch it, and y’know, she’s right.

Have risked starting a new novel, well, multi-chapter original fic, anyway; two chapters posted so far: WWMBD

Just two totally normal men from the 1930s who are definitely not any of the Marx Brothers.

A propos of nothing in particular: 'When That Man Is Dead and Gone.'
