Time for a dream roundup!


Dreams from April, May and June. )


I haven't really been remembering my dreams lately; I didn't note any dreams down at all for a period of over a month from early May. I wonder what makes my recollection fluctuate. Maybe I remember my dreams less if I'm sleeping at a comfortable temperature?

Just Married Dear Author Letter

lirazel: Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji from The Untamed ([tv] husbands)
[personal profile] lirazel
Dear Author,

It's been a few years since I've been able to participate in this exchange and I've missed it! I am generally quite easy to please so long as you avoid my DNWs, so I hope you enjoy writing a fic for me!

I've got a bunch of different pairings/OT3s with different preferences for each. The one thing that I most want for all of them is that the requested pairing/OT3 fall in love by the end of the story (if they aren't in love already) and a reasonably happy ending. By "reasonably" happy, I mean, the situation around them can be kind of dark, but they're together and that's what matters.

The first most important DNW is: infidelity. I am just not here for that.

I'm totally fine with people having pasts in which they loved/were with/were married to other people but by the time the characters get together, I want them both to be single. Or, in the case of an OT3 where two thirds of the characters are married to each other, they both need to be enthusiastic about inviting a third member into the relationship.

Some other DNWS:

+ PWP. Porn is fine, I just don't want the porn to be all the fic is. And porn is in no way necessary--you can write the most rated G fic ever if you like. I love all ratings equally.
+ Instalove/love at first sight (for anyone other Wangxian--infatuation at first site is okay for them--or Peter falling in love with Harriet because canon). As an ace person, it's super important to me that characters actually know each other before they fall in love.
+ Modern AUs of historical/fantasy fandoms. Canon divergence/what ifs are amazing, though, and if you want to twist the setting a little bit (giving Hodel magical powers or making Lan Wangji emperor or something), go for it. I just do not want to read about any of these historical/fantasy characters working in a coffee shop.
+ Major character deaths (unless someone comes back to life à la Wei Wuxian)
+ Character bashing
+ Unmitigated fluff (some fluff is fine! But I'd like some deeper feelings to dig into.)
+ Onscreen noncon
+ Focus on babies/children
+ Watersports/scat
+ BDSM outside the bedroom


General likes: angst, especially if it ends happily; getting together; hurt/comfort; mutual pining; in character characters; complicated relationships between women; good worldbuilding; longfic; outsider povs; location/setting as character; political intrigue; forced proximity; good people trying to do the right thing; bad people trying to do the right thing; found families; siblings; porn with feelings; character A having to rescue/defend character B; total devotion/us against the world dynamics. I also love the other characters in these canons, so bringing them into the fic in large supporting roles is great!

Now onto the requests.

Biggles retrouve von Stalhein

So last year I got a couple of the French Biggles comics for my amusement, but I haven't written any of them up properly. This one is probably of most interest to at least some of you, being a proper Biggles vs von Stalhein adventure with a fairly lively plot (the other one, promisingly titled Biggles contre von Stalhein, actually only has a little bit of EvS, admittedly commanding the palace guard in a South American revolution where Biggles is on the side of the revolutionaries, but with only a few appearances in the story). Anyway, I gave my French a workout to read them. This one, incidentally, is the one where the drawing of EvS with that colourful cravat comes from: the artist has clearly heard that he's a snappy dresser and is having fun with it. It's also the one where Biggles and EvS very nearly get shipwrecked together. In general the plot only makes sense if you don't think about anything at all, but it is very well equipped with explosions, vehicular adventures, dramatic escapes, chases and secret bases, so who cares :-D

Today's theme is Hetalia. Initially a webcomic, Hetalia was later adapted as a serialized manga and an anime series. The series personifies the nations of the world into immortal anthropomorphic characters and presents an allegorical (and often satirical) interpretation of political, historical, and cultural events throughout history and the present day. This riff is a personal favorite.

Have the king of horror for Friday the Thirteenth. This is probably one of King’s more controversial quotes and often misinterpreted too but regardless, editing is important. I wish I enjoyed it more. It was funny one of the author’s group on that zoom meeting prefers editing to drafting, complete opposite of me.

Word faulted out HARD on me today. Lost a lot of what I wrote for the finish of the story. I recreated it but it’s not nearly as funny as the original. And then when it saved, Word put it under a complete different file name which thankfully I had posted that story so I could retrieve it. Sigh.


Let me know what day you’re reporting in for. If I've missed you on the tally let me know. Feel free to jump in at any time.

Current events continue to be a lot, to say the least (I left voicemails for my congresspeople about some of it).

On a happier note, I saw chickadees multiple times today (apparently they're smaller than sparrows) as well as hummingbirds (one a few minutes after I refilled the feeder)!

It's my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. They were supposed to go somewhere. They're still here. Ah well. Happy anniversary anyhow mom and dad.

I started glut exercises with those crap therabands. I knew I had lost strength but not this much. Also it's causing serious pain in my knee. I'm not sure why. Will need to research that


And it's community rec thursday (as usual these are mostly one Dreamwidth)

[community profile] comment_bingo is open. Get a bingo card. Comment to fan creators. Make their day.

[community profile] summerofthe69 is open with their first prompt. If you like writing 69s, by all means join the party.

[community profile] summer_of_giles is open but using last year's mode, no actual assigned dates. If you like creating for Rupert Giles now is your moment.

And this one is for Pride. Check out [personal profile] reviews_and_ramblings This is a LGBT book review blog and the person running it has been reading tons and tons of boy's love stuff from Japan, China and Korea and I know there people on my list who might like to take a peek at that.

And this is not on DW. A million lives recovery You may have heard of this where a lot of authors were scammed by a so called book festival. Many were left in debt. That link will take you to affected authors, find new authors, get new books, help someone.

I'm annoyed right now. My computer glitched badly with Word. SOmething wasn't saved and I had to restart the computer. Even more annoying I could have sworn I saved that file in two places before stopping for dinner and the two places have two different versions (didn't save at all in one place)

Another week, another Thursday...


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!
