there's nothing quite like the blinding light.

this journal is friends-only. i generally add back - just drop me a line and let me know you're here!

all fiction is currently locked while i move it to greyson @ dreamwidth and the AO3.

cinco posted our write-up and resources from the bisexual visibility panel we did at con_txt! It was a great panel and very meaningful to me personally to get a spot on the panel schedule for bi visibility (and invisibility) in fandom. cinco was a great co-mod and most of our excellent preparation can be attributed to her fantastic organizational skills!

I also wanted to thank everyone who attended, and everyone who came up afterwards to talk. <3<3 Anyway, go forth and enjoy the write-up!

Had a blast at con_txt! I'm gradually assembling con and panel write-ups. corbae has posted the write up from Fun With Inverted Tropes, which was a blast. We had a great crowd and corbae was an awesome co-mod.

The write-up is chock full of inverted trope recs, clever quips from the panel audience, and inverted trope ideas for more fics. Enjoy!

Since it was posted in a weird backdate-y way, here's my Yuletide letter for this year. I requested Goon, Iskryne Series (aka the psychic soulbonded wolves canon), The Secret Garden, and Wonderfalls.

I'm also excited about my assignment. :D :D :D

\YULETIDE/

Hello, Yuletide Author! Welcome to my letter. If you don't like optional details and want to run free, yay! Have fun! I love all the fandoms I requested and will gleefully read whatever you feel like writing.

The only thing I would strongly prefer not to see in my Yuletide gift is partner betrayal. If you do head in that direction, please put a content note so I can get my brain ready. In general, I don't enjoy reading about trust issues, infidelity, public embarrassment, or abusive relationships.

Tropes I especially enjoy: cuddling, soulbonds, intense platonic friendships, kinky gen, psychic wolves, h/c, domesticity, protectiveness, open relationships, polyamory, threesomes, bed sharing.

Otherwise, here's some elaboration on the optional details box from my sign up!

So that's it! If you are interested in some background, I have past letters from 2011 here (My Drunk Kitchen, Actor RPF, Community, American Girls: Samantha) and 2012 here (Iskryne Series, Teen Wolf RPF, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Sex House).

Hope you have an excellent Yuletide, author, and thank you for writing! <3

At any second I will get out of bed and use this time productively. Any...second...now.

In other news, sometimes I can only laugh at my absurd predictability, e.g., what's that? An OT3 with two adorable bb rookies and an older, experienced, tough-yet-pretty third? HAHAHAHAHA BRB RENTING A DRY DOCK TO BUILD MYSELF AN ENORMOUS SHIP. Here is an excellent Gally/Gally/Prust primer if you, too, would like to be pulled into this. (Scroll down until you reach the beautiful bearded dude with his hands possessively on their shoulders WHOOPS OKAY I'M DONE.)

This emergency feels bulletin has been brought to you by SNOOOOOW.

Sometimes people ask me, "Should I go to law school?" because apparently being in law school has made me some kind of ~expert~ on the legal field. Sometimes they open this with, "I really want a job, so..."

Hooray! Thank you for writing me a story! I am so excited to read it. First off, let me say if you were excited to see an empty details box on my prompt, that is great! Feel free to skip this entire post and write what you feel. But if you want some ideas about specific things I would enjoy reading, this is the post for you.

There's one thing I really don't like and would strongly prefer to not find in my Yuletide gift, and that's partner betrayal. If you do want to write that, please put a content note so I can prepare my brain accordingly.

Okay! Onwards!

Again, thank you for signing up and for writing me a story! I hope at least something in this post was helpful. Feel free to use or ignore whatever parts of it you want. I love all these fandoms and would be thrilled to read anything in any of them. Happy Yuletide!

On Tuesday, I start part-time law school. "Part-time" law school is totally a lie, by the way, because full-time is 14 credit hours the first year, and part-time is 11. THAT IS NOT HALFSES. To make this even more ridiculous, I'll also be working 40 hours a week at my desk job. No, I don't know why I thought this was a good idea. I guess it comes from the same lizard brain that thinks running really long distances for no reason is great.

Because the internet gives me the attention span of a squirrel on PCP (TM hyperbole and a half), I am going to cut myself off from the delicious, distracting interblags for the duration. This goes double for Twitter, which I adore, but which eats time I now have to spend reading cases, frantically trying to figure out Westlaw, and occasionally doing the dishes.

Anyway, all of this is to say, I'll probably drop in on my semester breaks, but don't expect much from me until 2016 (ye gods). So I'll see you all then, assuming the Yellowstone caldera doesn't blow and create some internet-less post-apocalyptic society under a blanket of ash, or whatever.

I had a great time at Con.Txt this weekend - it was my first con EVAR! On Saturday during the DIY block, corbae and I split off from the general RPS DIY panel to talk about Hockey RPF. A group of us sat in the ConSweet and chatted about how the sport works, fics we've enjoyed, hilarious/ridiculous things hockey players do on twitter and youtube, and some things we like and would like to see more often.

I took some rough notes and corbae and I worked up this recap.

I think that's it! I had a great time, and thanks to everyone who came. Please feel free to add things I missed, correct my inevitable silly mistakes, and offer more recs and resources in comments. I will post a link to this on the con_txt comm when it opens for recap posting!
