Meme nabbed from [personal profile] sushiflop, who also has the coded text if you want to do the meme yourself.

Go to your Works page on AO3, look at the tags, and see what the answers to these questions are. (Or any other site that has tags)

1. What rating do you write most fics under? Teen and up. Basically anything with a "fuck" gets marked at least teen, whatever else is in it.

2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
What's listed are Buffy, Hockey RPF, and SPN, but if I go to the MCU page, which includes all my fics that are in MCU subfandoms, that has the most works of any of my fandoms at 95.

3. What is your top character you write about?
Sidney Crosby with 33 fics. Still, all these years later!

4. What are the 3 top pairings?
Sid/Geno (hockey, 24 fics), Liam/Noel (Oasis, 23), and Spike/Buffy (BtVS, 14). Yes indeed, those are my OTPs. <3 Fourth is Dan/Herbert from Re-Animator, which feels right as well.

Despite writing a shit ton of MCU fic, I was too much of a multishipper for any of my ships to threaten the top here. My highest was Carol/Yon-Rogg, and I only wrote 8 for them.

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
Drabble (64), mpreg (50 jfc), and hurt/comfort (29). Zero percent surprised by the first two, but I'm a little surprised by the h/c count. I don't tend to think of myself as a h/c writer. However, I do like writing things that contain h/c, and I guess I'm good at tagging it when it applies...

6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
I only need to write two more Gallaghercest fics for that to be my top ship! To be fair a bunch of the existing ones are less than 1k long, so Sid/Geno probably still wins by wordcount, but OTOH one of those Gallaghercest fics was 40k, so maybe not.

1. I had a nice morning at Disneyland today, but I am definitely glad I have two more days off to rest up! Tomorrow I am not going anywhere further than the farmers market.

It's pretty cold these days, for here, but I managed to get myself up to Inspiration Trail dawnish. I'm not sure whether or not I'm glad I bothered. Fog on the ground and not too much wind, but the first time I got to the gate I turned back at once. I even started driving down the hill, but as soon as I'd rounded the first curve it was clear! So I went back, hung out for a while, saw no improvement, and decided to walk down to the dip to at least check out the mud. I didn't stay long; the mud was worse than I can tolerate, the fog was dripping from the trees like rain, and there wasn't enough activity to keep me there. Nine usual species. I'm not submitting a list.:) Again, as I drove down the hill the sky was clear. Sigh. To make up for it I went to Cesar Chavez in the afternoon, under clear skies. Not so very many more species (15) but very much more interesting ones. First bird I heard was an American Pipit, so that was fun. My reason for going there was to see what was offshore in North Basin with all the birds on it; I took a very good look and I still don't know. It's a long, flexible floating pipe, maybe? with a big, orange, heavy-looking.. something at the north end. There were about 120 Western Gulls, one Ring-billed Gull, and a few Double-crested Cormorants roosting on it. It certainly makes the gulls easy to sort through for something different. The list: )

Of course I intended to look for the Burrowing Owl, and two very kind ladies helped me find it. Once you see it, it's obvious, but until you do, it's invisible.:)

A day off without sleeping in at all feels so expansive! ([personal profile] scruloose had to be out a bit early all this week, so I've been getting up a bit earlier too to do my supervision part of the clowder's breakfast routine.) But I took the day off mainly to try to get some manga work done, so going back to bed after that seemed counterproductive. Somehow it's not even 10 AM yet? Incredible. (Could I have used the sleep, though? Oh yes.)

Happy day-after-Thanksgiving to the USians* observing this emotionally-complex holiday. I enjoy the food chatter from afar. Someone on a cooking feed on Bluesky posted about doing a stuffing flight, and now I really want a stuffing flight, although the specific types they'd made didn't sing to me. ^^;

*I've been seeing the edges of Discourse about this term on Bluesky, and several people complained about the pronunciation/having no good pronunciation options, which made me realize that to me it's strictly a term for writing, not saying. It works fine visually. *shrugs*

First Yule scent of the year: But Men Loved Darkness Better Than Light (2009 vintage). I'd forgotten how much I love this one.

Last year I had a pretty good streak of wearing Weenie scents, and then in November [personal profile] scruloose's breathing was a bit rough, and we didn't think it was the BPAL, but I didn't wear any through the Christmas season. (It turned out not to be what was causing the problem, which has been IDed and dealt with.) So maybe this year. (As always, the Weenie and Yule updates tempted me dreadfully, but the added horror of current crossborder shipping gave me extra armor against getting in on a decant circle.)

I'm finally listening to the new Florence + The Machine album; listening to new music takes even longer now than it used to, and I've never been quick about listening or bonding. Given the season, after this album I'll probably switch to Christmas music while working. As long as it's good (wholly subjective, obviously, along with if you're a Christmas person and if seasonal music doesn't hit all the wrong buttons in general), Christmas music is kind of ideal for when I'm trying to just get some work done--it doesn't require the attention that beloved favorite music or new-to-me music does, even if it's not a recording I'm familiar with. Handy!

(Yesterday I deployed some for the first time this year. I didn't know Carole King had a holiday album, although it's never a surprise when a western musician does. *eyes Tori Amos holiday album* [Which I do listen to.] And now I've heard it once and never need to hear it again.)

Also on the music front, I finally cut off my Spotify subscription, and I'm trying out Qobuz after waffling between it and Deezer. Neither of them has native Linux desktop support or a Roku app, either of which would've weighted my decision significantly, and Qobuz allows you to actually buy music--apparently DRM-free, no less!--so I'm starting here.

Package-delivery updates cover such a bizarre spectrum. I currently have in my inbox: a) an update from a courier saying they've got my package and will deliver it this afternoon, with no indication of the sender, and I do not have a ship notification from anywhere that makes it obvious, so...I guess we'll see soon, and b) a Canada Post "Ship Notification for Item" (not to be confused with a "your item is out for delivery" notification) that didn't arrive in my inbox until a couple of hours after the CP person had already theoretically been by and attempted delivery. (Canada Post folks are better than others about actually attempting delivery, so I have to assume I just didn't hear the doorbell somehow, but the email timing remains bizarre.)

Happy Thanksgiving (a day late) to those of you living in the U.S. Happy Thursday to everyone else.

I slept late this morning (7am again), even though Pip got up early due to coughing. (When it’s not a work day, I don’t have to worry about getting Grant back in the house, which means I can stay in bed.)

I put together a tossed salad for Thanksgiving in the morning. My other contributions to the meal were: a cabbage salad, a loaf of banana bread, and butter cookies. (Since I had to make a GF dessert, I figured it had to be something Pip liked, so we decided on butter cookies, as they’re his favorite.)

ETA: How could I forget to mention this!! There was only one pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving Dinner. *g*

I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, emptied the dishwasher, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter.

I finished the new Inspector Gamache book.

Temps started out at 34(F) (at 7am; it was a couple degrees cooler when Pip got up) and reached 41.2, that I saw. The forecast said it was supposed to hit 50, but I never saw that. It was overcast most of the day again.


Mom Update:

Mom ended up agreeing to go to my sister’s for Thanksgiving. more back here )

Fic: Final chapter of Reverie

[personal profile] gwyn
I made it! I don't know how I did considering the amazing disaster that my life has been this year (I keep tempting fate by thinking things can't get worse and then they do!), especially the past couple months. (Perfect example was yesterday, where I was sweating like a pig from putting up some decorations and wiped out from fatigue and also couldn't get my new replacement laptop to work and so I was sitting there sweating and crying from frustration. My life, man. Sweating and crying. What.)

Anyways, I finally finished the WIP I started five freaking years ago, posting as a WIP because in the past, that kept me on track and I was worried about finishing so I wouldn't let things slide. And then I did anyways! But it is now done, and just in time for my annual birthday fic posting. I don't imagine anyone reading this at this point, but in case one person does, well, here you go.

Summary:

“Exitus!” Steve shouted, slamming his hand against the door where the mandala should have been, and suddenly he was on the chair in his room, gasping. In this world.

Steve lowered the glass to his lap and looked up at Shuri. His heart was beating way too hard and fast. “You were right,” he said, sitting up. “He’s glitching. I don’t know if I can get him out.”

Community Thursday challenge: every Thursday, try to make an effort to engage with a community on Dreamwidth, whether that's posting, commenting, promoting, etc.


Over the last week...

Posted & commented on [community profile] bnha_fans. We have a couple of new members who showed up for the watch-along and that is very cool :D

Signal boost:

  • Not exactly comm-related, but since I often use this weekly post for signal boosting: the Tolkien Fanfiction Survey is running for the 3rd time; it runs every 5 years. If you've ever read Tolkien fic at any point, whether you're new to the fandom or an old hand, consider taking part! See [personal profile] dawn_felagund's post for more information.

The 2025 NYC Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night is available online (via PBS) through the end of the year, and is tremendously fun! Such a stacked cast— with Lupita Nyong'o as Viola/Cesario (and her real-life brother as Sebastian), Sandra Oh as Olivia, and Peter Dinklage as Malvolio— it's genuinely hard to pick a stand-out performance?? I will say that Dinklage is probably my favorite Malvolio of the three I've seen within the past year, although he plays it both less campily and less sympathetically than the Folger's recent production or Tamsin Greig in the 2017 production on National Theatre at Home; I'll also say that Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Sir Andrew Augecheek stole every scene he was in, but honestly, "Sir Andrew was a hoot" was my takeaway from all three productions and so I think it might just be a really fun role. (On a less expected note, Orsino's entourage was also a hoot, especially with the recurring bit of one guy who kept laughing out of turn and then dropping into push-ups when Orsino looked at him. Also, fantastic Orsino, with kind of "manly man who's secretly a softie" vibes that made for an appealing take on the character— although, until the Drag Race runway vibes of the final bows, I would not say that this was a particularly gender-y version of Twelfth Night, overall?) In assorted other details: this staging had Nyong'o (actually, both Nyong'os) occasionally slip into Swahili, including the initial dialogue between Viola and Sebastian when they reunite, which was a cool touch; I didn't know what to think of the backdrop of giant letters reading WHAT YOU WILL, at first, but it earned its keep as a set-up for the punchline in the scene where, as Sir Toby and co. spy on Malvolio, they all hide behind smaller/portable/individual letters spelling out TREE.

1. Carla is getting snow in Wisconsin and meanwhile we had a sunny eighty-degree day here. I prefer somewhere between the two! Thankfully the weather is supposed to be cooler tomorrow and then dropping down a lot for the weekend. Hope this is the last heat spell for the fall/winter but I kind of doubt it. At least at this time of year the heat is short lived since the sun goes down early. It was nice and cool when I went for my walk this evening.

2. I decided to stop at Handel's for ice cream on my walk and they have a peppermint bark flavor for the holidays! I love peppermint ice cream so this was a must have. It was very tasty. Carla likes peppermint, too, so we'll have to get it again once she's back in town.

3. We are planning to go to Universal Studios around Christmas (well, we decided to go on Christmas actually) because that's when we're blocked out from Disneyland. Neither of us have ever been before, but we want to go to Universal Japan next year on our trip, so I'd really like to be able to compare. Plus we're not renewing our Knott's Berry Farm annual pass for next year and instead considering getting a Universal Studios one, but want to check it out first to see if we would really use it that much (the price is much cheaper than Disneyland, but not as dirt cheap as Knott's). Anyway, while I was poking around on the website to read up for our Christmas trip, I started getting more and more excited about it and decided to do a solo trip myself tomorrow! They have two day passes that get you a deal over buying the dates separately, and you can use the second ticket within 90 days of the first, so I got one to use tomorrow and then will use the other half when we go on Christmas.

4. I finished up one of the big things I was working on at work! It feels so good to have that finally done! And a lot of progress has been made on the other, to the point where we can say we have enough data to move forward by our deadline at the end of next month. There are some things on the IT side that still need to be hammered out, but I think we might not have to delay the project? Fingers crossed!

5. I didn't use a filter for this photo but the lighting made it look like a filter. Gemma loves to hide away on Carla's desk chair when it's pushed under her desk, which of course it is all the time right now since she's not home.
