Summary: “On the east coast of the US, there is a small town called Anywhere, where some of our favorite fictional characters keep washing up on the beach, often injured, with no memory of where they came from and who they are, the only clues to their past identities being the clothes they washed up in, their own names, and the strange feelings and dreams they occasionally have. Soon enough, they settle into their new life, but the questions still remain: who were they? And why are they here?”

😈 for the writing asks

And 🦅 too. seems appropriate for blue bird writing :)

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I’d say Chapter 3 and 4 of Ties of Blood and Water are just that. Putting poor Roderich through hell hehehe :P (he only kind of deserved it)

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

I’m an outliner! The only exception to this is The Town of Anywhere, which isn’t fully outlined but I have the next 10 or so chapters outlined

Unto the Labyrinth Chapter 6 is up!

Anxiety overtook Maze. She thumbed her ring, fingers trembling.

She was up.

Finally, the applause for the District 2 boy began dying down, and someone wearing all black at the side of the stage motioned to Maze, indicating she was next.

She sat up straight and prepared to stand up, moving her thumb over her ring one last time. Her heart pounded in her chest.

“And now, for someone who we’ve been curious about since her Reaping, and even more curious about since the tribute parade,” Caesar announced. “The one and only, Maze Donahue, from District 3!”

Maze took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out onto the stage to thunderous applause.

Summary: “Maze Donahue always thought she would be lonely forever. No one wanted to be friends with a troublesome orphan with a penchant for pranks. But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.

But no matter what, she won’t ever be alone again.”

Haven’t been on here in a while, anyways here’s plush Maze from my fic Unto the Labyrinth

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

Relationships: Janeway/Chakotay, Janeway & Zero

Summary: “Admiral Janeway and the crew of the USS Voyager-B finally rescue the lost crew of the Protostar, but Chakotay is close to death, to the devastation of Janeway. She and Zero have a heart-to-heart conversation.”

FYI I changed the title of “A Chance Meeting” from its original title, which was originally “The Leep Meets Frankenstein’s Monster”. I thought the new title is more creative
