Lay down your pride and your gun

I haven't really been cross-posting here because uhh.... I haven't exactly found communities here as I've found new fandoms. I'm just gonna dump everything I've posted in the past year or two here so that y'all can like.... know that, I guess, but I don't have to make a new post every time. (Also I hear Pillowfort doesn't queue posts yet and I don't want to spam there either, this way I can copy/paste stuff lol.)

Have a nice day!

In the meantime, I'm trying to gauge interest in my writing, namely whether or not it would be worthwhile to start some "pay-as-you-will" zine thing while I hunt for jobs. I'm starting with a free flash fiction one-shot to test formatting and general interest.
If you want to read it, you can check it out at this link which allows previewing, but if you like it you can say so by downloading. If you want to share it on Tumblr I have a post here but TBH I might have messed up Tumblr's search thing with a link, or whatever, so if you know those workarounds you're welcome to put the orangedox link up a different way, as long as credit happens. (Or to just share that link wherever. It'll count views/downloads which is handier than counting reblogs/notes.)

Given my inactivity here, I realize that this might not be seen by anyone, but I gotta.... I gotta try, guys. It'd mean a lot to me if this could get a little love.

(For some reason, 2k17 doesn't seem as natural as it did with 2014-2016.)

I've written down in my little notebook (I take it everywhere to keep track of whatever, it has BB-8 on it) that I'm going to try to post 8K words of fanfiction this year. This is somewhat ambitious probably? But here's the good news: Trope Bingo is doing an amnesty round, so I can just do whatever I want off of my old cards. (Which is great! I was wondering what I would do with those.)

For organization's sake, I'm just going to list them all here. (Since it's an amnesty round, the actual lines and things don't really matter much, do they?) This is so I don't have to keep scrolling between three posts and figuring out which tropes repeat, etc.
( AUs separated because IDK it's more satisfying )

I've crossed out the two (2) tropes that I actually filled in all my rounds, but if it's acceptable I might revisit them, just because that kidfic had a lot of untapped potential and fusion AUs are always fun.

The only thing I've posted in the past few months has been "dear author" letters, which makes me feel a little bad. I like DreamWidth. I wish there were more communities for my fandoms on here....

Anyway, some basic updates.

I meant to post some recs for some giftfic I've received in the past.... six months........ but then Yuletide is coming up so I might as well wait until I've read that one, right?

Hello! I was drafting this earlier, but I lost the draft, so this might be a bit rushed, or come off as sort of demanding. (I'm not sure if it said anywhere in this challenge, but I'm used to the idea of exchanges that match only on fandom/character with everything in the request letter optional. Obviously I'd prefer if you did letter things, but if your specialties lie elsewhere then I'll probably love whatever you do with the fandom/characters.)

Today's my birthday, and also Pi Day but to five digits instead of the usual three. I uh, I was going to make a kickass pie and have a ceremonial pie-cutting at 9:26(:53) but I was up too late making this KICKASS ICON and slept through it like a dumbass. (I'm so proud of the icon though, mostly because usually "making my own icon" is really just cropping a screencap, but this is.... OUT OF THIS WORLD! :D)

For the same reason, today was the day I had my intro post scheduled for. I was going to reschedule it for March 1, 2041 (3/1/41 at 5:09) but it won't let me so I bought less time with 2/7/18 at 2:08 (as close as I could get to e in dates). Hopefully by then I'll think of some other mathematical constant to use for arbitrary numbers that describe the future. Hopefully I'll have actually updated it by then because I'm not sure I've done that more than once.

I'm sorry I didn't post anything all through February. Mostly because I wanted to. I got a kickass tattoo that I want everyone to see, because it's wonderful and I love it, but first I wanted to heal and then I was like, "Do I really want to post such an identifying feature publicly online?" But then I remembered that people who would use my tattoo to find me IRL will probably eventually find me IRL whether I post it or not, and also because it's really great and everyone who wants to see it deserves to see it, so now it's mostly me being hesitant to take pictures of myself in general.

Uh that's definitely the highlights. I mean, I started watching Steven Universe and got pretty invested pretty fast, but that's probably pretty easy to deduce. (Especially from my Tumblr....) IDK let's see if I can actually mean it when I say I'm going to try posting more often.

I'm really sorry, I really wanted to try to do today's December Meme thing on time, but, like. I don't think it's going to happen tonight. (Going to try to make it happen tomorrow.) Instead I'm just going to vent for a bit.

Favorite tropes, prompted by 100demons! This is going to be sort of hard; I'm not usually the world's biggest fan of tropes? Which seems weird because of the trope bingo thing? I dunno man they're great but this is such a hard question. (Also sorry for being late again :> I was going to post on time but then I started watching the season 1 finale of Orange is the New Black, so I think this time I at least have an excuse.)
