Writing

Stalled, but finally dived back into the second chapter of Profane and fixed some shit so I can continue.

Two steps forward, one step back 🙄

Watching

Somehow I stumbled across the Yellowstone prequels without knowing they were Yellowstone prequels. Devoured 1883, and now I'm watching 1923. I maybe also acquired Yellowstone season 1...

Fandom

International Fanworks day is coming up. See what's happening here.

Social Media

Twitter turned off the API and locked everyone out 🤣 Mastodon signups rocketed as a result.

There's fediverse drama over the HP^* game, with a prominent masto instance shutting down over harassment after the admin refused to ban people tooting about the game. Sure, he had a untidy meltdown in the process, but based on reports, it's not terribly surprising. Seriously, people, hate does not fix hate.

*JKR sucks

Website Updates

I'm moving these roundups back to my website. I've got a handle on dealing with blog posts in 11ty now, and I've got RSS down, so if any DWers are missing the roundups they can sub to my feed using DW or any other feed reader.

I'm streamlining my social media, so this may be the last roundup I post to DW. I'll also be posting them to the fediverse, you can find me here.

These posts are my weekly 'round up' of the things I've been up to and the things I've seen in fandom over the past week.

Sometime early in 2011, I started writing a Harry/Draco* fic for my oldest, bestest, fandom friend, venis-envy.

It took me two years 🤣

Finally, on the 22nd of January, 2013, I posted a fic with the following authors note:

This story was begun sometime early in 2011 for venis-envy's birthday in March of that year. I wrote about a third of it then, gave it to her with the intent of finishing it soon after. Long story short, it took me over a year to finish writing the story, and the better part of the next to edit the thing. Finally, it's done. It remains my first foray into the Harry Potter fandom, though I've written quite a bit of Harry/Draco fic since (lots of unposted stuff floating around my hard drive).

The most notable thing about it is the entirely weird POV. It was never meant to be a long fic, and the first person Draco written as if he's speaking to Harry (what I've come to think of as the I/You POV) never would have occurred to me as a good idea if it had been. Regardless, it is what it is and it was a very interesting endeavour, to say the least.

Happy infinitely-belated Birthday, my darling venis-envy.

Well, now it's time to say Happy Birthday to Desperation.

Desperation

Wordcount: 13,804
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Summary: If you had only died when you were meant to, I'd have grown up in a wizarding world already ruled by the Dark Lord. I wouldn't be screaming at you in a sixth floor bathroom. I wouldn't be raising my wand, Crucio on my lips.

Desperation remains one of my faves, one of those fics I'm most proud of. I don't say that very often—I've certainly never celebrated a fic milestone like this before 🤣
