Every so often, I get really
really
stupid.
Like right now. Someone on the Rose <3 Kanaya comm asked me if, with this slavefic concept I have brewing for the first HSO prompt, I was going to play my trope straight or subvert it.
I went to dictionary.com to look up what “subvert” means because I simply couldn’t understand what was being asked of me. So if anyone was still...

oh god dammit
HSO, if you make me think up another thing to go off and write a fucking NaNoWriMo entry’s worth of story based on this first goddamn prompt I’m going to—
To—
Fucking hell, I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Maybe I’ll turn the concept into an original novel. That…might actually be interesting. But—but—
Jesus fuck.

WIP
To her credit, Rose barely cries when the glowing red iron baring the reversed sign is pressed to and held firm against her wrist. She watches it happen through narrowed, tear filled eyes, teeth grit against the whimpers slithering on her tongue. Her fingers twitch, but her hand is held fast by one servant, her elbow kept down on the table by another, and the third burns the mark into her. But...

Regarding that first HSO prompt
I was trawling through the tropes in fanworks link given on the HSO LJ prompt page, and I saw this.
Slavefic.
…
Strike me down if that doesn’t make me sit up and think. I think I have my concept, lovelies.
(Also, god dammit, I can’t get onto the team Rose/Kanaya LJ page. Is it broken? Should we figure out somewhere else to convene—or should I just start using a damn...

HS-Olympics: PROMPT THE FIRST BITCHES.
ROUND ONE: RESUSCITATION.
All right, my team Rose <3 Kanaya lovelies!
The prompt is to breathe new life into old cliches and overused concepts like high school AUs, magical pregnancies, etc. etc.
The idea is to take something that a lot of people have done in all seriousness…and do it again. In an AWESOME manner, whether that’s by subverting the terms of the trope or playing it...

Story Update
Three posts in a week! Glee!
Chapter eleven of Retroversion Dissolution: Orders From Above (2/3).
In which the teams begin to move together, the Heir of Time steps up as a leader to stop the incessant bickering (particularly between the Maid of Space and the Sylph of Blood), the Seer of Void vanishes, the Thief of Mind is held in the Mindgrip, and the Bard of Space strikes a deal with the...

I just got a comment on AO3 for Frontierstuck.
They wanted to know if there was bottom!Sam in it.
There’s no one in Homestuck named Sam. There is no character tag for someone named Sam in the story description. There will never be a Sam. There is a Sam in Retroversion Dissolution, but his full name is Samsprite and he is the sprite Hugh made using the ashes of his dead wolfhound.
what...
nonsensephrase asked: Okay, so it turns out enormous metaphor battles are a good way to get followers? Or something? So hey. Just wondering, is your Ao3 account a good way to get up to date on your writings? Or, I guess, the writings that you're fond of?
invalidgriffin asked: Can I just say that you are awesome for entertaining this metaphor war with me?
Because you are awesome.
Because you are awesome.

It was a review you left, I think. ANYWAY, long story short: you were super cool and it meant a lot to me.

I was in the shower early, when one of those wandering thoughts that comes to everyone in the bath crawled into my head. I’d seen some fan art on DA (this here) that blended Homestuck and Baccano. Mind you, as watching Baccano helped inspire everything that is Frontierstuck’s Dave and his voice, I am a fan of the show and I do like seeing crossovers.
The thought was of if a...
invalidgriffin replied to your post: My first thought upon seeing your name…
I REMEMBER LOTS OF THINGS. Also, it was super hard finding good Starfire/Raven. You… may have also said something nice to me. :”> Years later, there you were, being awesome in the HS fandom. Take my hand, shinji, this is like destiny.
I said something nice? I don’t think I would have had cause to...
hazeglow asked: Well, I don't remember any first impression but I remember when I first found you! It was on deviantart that I saw your fifth chapter of Frontierstuck submitted into a group gallery, and I read it. And when I found out that there was MORE I was VERY HAPPY because I really loved it! :D And then I found you on Archive of Our Own and then Tumblr, it was super awesome.
invalidgriffin asked: My first thought upon seeing your name: "Oh my god, is that who I think-- that's the person who wrote the only good Titans/PotO fic ASDFGHJKLwait... were they... OH SHIT, DIGIMON TOO."
First impression: fandom soulmate.
Not even exaggerating.

Huh.
Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting to write about twenty-five hundred words today in RD. Then again, I sure didn’t expect so many aspects of the plot and mystery to solidify in these last few hours of writing.
I have to do a few errands tomorrow, including a definite chunk of time devoted to writing up a cover letter for an application, but I have a good feeling that I’ll...

Ways to discipline a suddenly acquired troll teammate misbehaving according to Hugh Tanner, Heir of Time:
Go back in time by three seconds and smack her in the back of the head with a wrench.
At least she’s the STRONG troll and can deal with firework explosions on her head.

Every time I rewatch the “Bushido” episode of Gargoyles, that part of the Avalon saga where they go to Japan, I either learn something about how the creators did a good little bit of research or I weep a little.
Good: the town they go to is called Ishimura—translated very literally as “stone village”—the petty crooks at the start don’t have guns, since...

Tangentally related to nothing, but
I’m curious.
How much blackrom flirting can you have between, say, Rose and Vriska before something essentially explodes or catches fire?

Okay, I'm terrible
But I just want to leave this here for you guys. I—I have to tease.
“It’s not magic, Miss Kanaya, we can’t just make the water come out of something. The only way to use alchemy to get water out of your lungs would have been to make it change its form—and the only form that would have left your lungs is steam. But you can imagine how bad having a bunch of piping hot steam in your lungs...

Hey Sarah.
I think I remember doing something.
Was it something about writing you some fluff involving thighhighstuck to help you get motivated?
‘Cause I did that today.

For Retroversion Dissolution, as I’ve been working on that.
On AO3.
And on DA.
In which the Bard of Space once again meets the Maid of Space, punches her in the face, and is convinced to act her age after some firm shaking; the ailing Heir of Time is tended to after a message from the Prince is received; the body of the Knight of Breath is discovered; and the trio of space-time...

I almost want to espouse the virtues of working on more than one story at a time.
I’ve been working on chapter ten of Retroversion Dissolution for just about a week, and I’ve spent the greater part of the evening kind of tapping out a sentence, wandering away, and coming back to add another sentence to see if it works. Then I suddenly realized that I had said what I wanted to say for...

I was in my chair working on chapter ten of Retroversion Dissolution with Gargoyles playing in the background, just sort of waiting for midnight to roll around to go see Captain America.
I remembered the fact that I have to take my meds before I leave and I got up.
Then I full on bolted to my desk with the sudden realization that I completely forgot to go to the pharmacy today to get my...

Okay, followers of mine that are on the Rose <3 Kanaya team, I want a good solid start to our comm! The other teams are kicking our asses so far with their setups, and we most certainly can’t leave our ladies in the lurch!
