a living rec thread: multiply marginalized specfic writers

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 21:48:03 GMT

mostly for my own reference, but I'm compiling a list of multiply marginalized folks publishing in specfic genres -- if anyone wants to send me recs, especially for indigenous writers and other queer authors of color, that would be much appreciated!

podficcing has returned to my life

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 03:54:39 GMT

Out of the Auditary: a fest for podficcing works that don't fit into the "standard" fiction format, such as meta, not!fic, epistolary and chatfic, video game codes entries, fake scientific articles, poetry, and many more!

I'm really looking forward to this tbh; hopefully I will be putting something together!

content summary 2018

Mon, 31 Dec 2018 19:09:03 GMT

Overall this year was.... not great in terms of producing fan content for this account. (I have another content summary going up on my problematic fic account, which will absolutely be more positive than this one.)

I did submit an origfic piece for DPDSF, which was my first time ever sharing original work with non-friends, so I'm proud of that.

My AO3 numbers:
> approx 7k words published.
> 7 works posted and/or updated
> 2/7 were podfic
> 5/7 were written work
> 1/7 was exchange fic
> 2/7 were updated preexisting fic
> 1/7 was collaborative fic.

Work I'm most proud of: (My Heart Is) Drenched In Wine [SGU genprompt_bingo fills, incomplete, no major content warnings]

writing meme!

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 01:25:30 GMT

Drop one of these bad boys in a comment and I will respond, without editing:

FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
[insert prompt here] — you post a prompt, and i’ll write three sentences based on that prompt, set in the same time/setting as my current project
THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it
BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective

Meme provided by journalmemes

this was one of my favorite tumblr ask games, so I'm very ready to try it here!

michael “thriftynerd” dimauro: here is an npc antagonist. he is a level 14 extradimensional devil warlord and his name is artixus.

also michael “thriftynerd” dimauro: here is an npc antagonist. he is a level 0 human accountant and his name is frank.

I'm Cody or Spike (he/his), over 18, queer autistic mixed-Chicano SFF enthusiast. I write fan things on ao3 at TwoMenAndAGuava (with occasional podfics). You can also get me on discord (my tag is in my profile), where I'm pretty active.

Some fan things you might find here: Star Trek (mostly DS9), Star Wars (mostly Clone Wars), Stargate (mostly Atlantis and Universe), Discworld, Hogan's Heroes, The Rat Patrol, Babylon 5, Red vs Blue, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Boondock Saints, Machineries of Empire, Imperial Radch, M*A*S*H, various tiny book fandoms (Grimnoir Chronicles, Chronicles of The Raven, Tanya Huff's Valor series), and some podcasts (The Adventure Zone, Drunks & Dragons, Wolf 359, Eos 10, Bright Sessions, arsPARADOXICA, SAYER, The Penumbra Podcast).

I also do a little bit of conlanging and original fiction, but my interests and motivation can be fleeting sometimes. Some of my other non-fannish interests are rock climbing, sabre fencing, knitting, sorting things into increasingly specific categories, the intersection of alterhuman, queer, and neurodivergent identity, (military) history, and robots. I also may post about my personal exploration of religion, especially alterhumanity and polytheism.

Various other bits about me: I'm a college student studying linguistics. I'm self-studying Arabic and ASL. My Spanish is... passable, and I know a bit of German. My music taste tends toward new wave / alt rock / synthpop, but I'm always up for music recs. While I may not be heavily involved with TTRPG games, I read (and occasionally write) short-form games and really enjoy making character sheets for longer games.

This journal is mostly friends-locked, but any finished products I have (fic, podfic) will most likely be public.

There was at one point a darkfic comm (problem_attic) that has been deleted -- I do however own a discord server that was originally intended for the comm, but I'm opening it up to other people now, since it's so inactive, and I wanted to see if there was interest before I just deleted it. If you (or anyone you know / trust to not be an asshole) want an invite, leave a comment here or pm me!

I think I need probably to get back into using this site properly. I'm working on a couple fics, but I've mostly been stuck in Problematic Fic Land for months.

Hopefully NaNoWriMo will help me clear out backlog, and get to some fics I can actually post here!

Dear Creator Letter: Poly Trolley

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 15:31:45 GMT

Hi,

Thanks for creating for me! Feel free to ignore this if you've already got an idea, but if you don't I hope you find something here to help you.

Again, my hard DNWs are: A/B/O, harm to robots (including nonsentient ones), harlequin romance, watersports, more than a passing mention of weight gain / loss.

In general, I tend to like angst, hurt/comfort, hand holding, casefic or missionfic, and requited or resolved pining.

( Fandom Specific Prompts )

Thanks!

Dear Creator Letter: Star Trek Friendship Fic Fest

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 18:55:19 GMT

Hey! Thanks so much for writing for me, and I hope you find something in here that inspires you (unless you've already got an idea, in which case you can ignore this letter entirely).

General likes: angst, hurt/comfort, casefic/missionfic, hand holding, the forehead touch thing, and boxing aus

General dislikes: A/B/O, harm to robots (including nonsentient ones), and power imbalance.

Any combination of Uhura, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekov: what shenanigans do they get up to off duty? Who's closest to who? Who's the ringleader? Do they have prank wars?

Bashir & O'Brien: I'd love to see them in one of their holosuite adventures! Whether it goes wrong or not is up to you.

Any combination of Malcolm, Travis, and Hoshi: They've all got such different backgrounds - how do they connect to each other? Where did they start becoming friends? Does Hoshi teach the guys swear words in Klingonese? Are Malcolm and Travis workout buddies? Do Hoshi and Malcolm cook together? Do they tend to hang out in one person's quarters more than the other(s)?

Thanks!

Dear Creator Letter: Rare Male Slash Exchange

Fri, 02 Jun 2017 17:45:26 GMT

Hi! Thanks so much for writing for me. These are just ideas and guidelines - feel free to ignore!

Firstly, general likes and dislikes:

Likes: angst, hurt/comfort, casefic/missionfic

Dislikes: a/b/o, watersports, harm to robots

B5:

I'd love to see Marcus and Stephen coming to terms with their feelings for each other, or maybe something set during the Mars mission.

For Sinclair and Garibaldi - I'd like a story of how they came to be so close, navigating a new relationship, or something dealing with the aftermath of Sinclair's disappearance.

Valor:

Krai culture is so fascinating to me. I'd love a snapshot of their wedding, Krai-style, or discussion of class differences, or pretty much anything to do with them getting together.

DS9:

How do Jake and Nog deal with their cultural differences? It's one thing to be friends, but another to live with someone. Is there conflict between them when they need to buy / get things for their quarters?

re: Garak and Damar, how can they reconcile their differences? Do they bond over sneering at Dukat? I'd like to see some internal conflict about loving Cardassia in a different way than the rest of the Cardassians do.

RoL:

How and why did Nightingale and Seawoll get to be rivals? I'd enjoy seeing them get together despite that, or maybe they're rivals because of some messy breakup.

Peter and Jaget have a really interesting dynamic to me. I'd be happy with anything!

Angst is always good, and Mellenby/Nightingale is good for angst. I'd like to see Nightingale coping with losing David, or maybe how they got together.

RvB:

dork!!! what a good pairing. I'd love anything to do with them revealing their relationship (maybe to North & Theta?).

again, thanks so much for writing for me!

pikit mata: with eyes closed (rushyoung)

Thu, 06 Apr 2017 22:58:30 GMT

Rush folds his arms across his chest. He’s really not happy about this - despite what he says, he’s not convinced any more that Young is the wrong person to be leading this mission. He knows for sure that Telford is the wrong person, though, and he’d much rather take his chances with Young than Telford.

“Penny for ‘em,” Young says, one eyebrow raised. His hair is much longer than it had been when they’d first come onto Destiny, and he looks good like this, curls softening the shape of his face.

“No,” Rush says curtly, pulling himself out of the inappropriate thoughts. “Just waiting for Telford.”

If he hadn’t been looking for it he wouldn’t have seen Young flinch. “Yeah,” he says. “I’m sure you’re pleased about this.”

Rush snorts, looking away. “You might not be the right person, but you’re closer than he ever will be,” he says.

He knows without looking that Young’s mouth is hanging open, and suddenly he wants to push the colonel against the wall and kiss him breathless, right up until the second Telford comes to take over Young’s body and command position. But he doesn’t.

“Thanks,” Young says eventually. “You’ve been. We, uh, couldn’t have gotten this far without you.”

Rush nods, half in acknowledgement and half in agreement.

Then Young jerks a little, and his posture changes, and Rush knows that this is Telford, come to take away any and all progress they’ve made. “Welcome home, Colonel,” he says, with a little mocking bow.

sga/sgu snippet

Tue, 07 Mar 2017 03:54:31 GMT

Rush looks at Young in consternation. "Last time I tried to compliment someone, I accidentally triggered a PTSD flashback," he says. "So I don't do that any more."

"You said you were sorry and that was good enough for me," John comments idly, inspecting Rodney's arithmetic.

Young looks from Rush to Sheppard, confused. "Didn't you two just meet, like, yesterday?"

"Yep," Sheppard says.

It’s hard to tell behind Rush’s six-day beard scruff, but Young is pretty sure he’s turning red. “It was an accident,” he says shortly.

“What did you say?” Young asks incredulously.

“Well, if I say it again, it’s going to happen. Again,” Rush says. “And I’m not doing that.”

“Thanks,” Sheppard mumbles, “but I’m gonna go now.”

stope/tem, new relationship

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 02:54:02 GMT

"The cap'n's not going to be happy," Tem says, pulling back from the kiss.

"Uh-huh," Stope hums happily, pressing his face into Tem's shoulder. "What he doesn't know won't bother him."

Tem drops a kiss onto Stope's bare head. "We could be putting the crew in danger," he points out.

"No offense, Tem, but banging you won't affect me doin' my job," Stope says, putting some space between them so he can look Tem in the eye.

Tem snorted. "Don't know how I feel about that," he says gruffly. "'M not saying I'm gonna start looking out for you more, but I'm not sure I can be impartial."

"You don't have to be impartial," Stope says. "Just not obvious."

"I guess," Tem says. "I guess you're right. Like usual."

Stope grins. "Bet your sorry ass I am."
