An Incomplete List Of Fics To Read (and Comment On!) While You’re Quarantined/self Isolated

Day fifty-six (56/100)

Q56: What influenced you in a surprising way?

A56: This may sound odd but when I was in university and studying chemistry, full paragraphs or prose or full verses of poetry would pop into my brain. At the time, I interpreted this behaviour as my mind was tired of learning new things and, therefore, rebelled by outputting new things. Sort of an off gassing of creative thought.

A more recent influence is coding, in particular writing pseudo code to solve a problem. When I initially write down my wips’ notes, those notes have a strong resemblance to  pseudo code.

my professor spent our entire seminar whining about how there’s too many girls in our group and not enough boys. he was like “i’m not saying women can’t be good surgeons but we need more men” no, we don’t. men suck. deal with it.

Fantastic

Presented without comment.

EXCEPT to say- commonplacecaz.

Q35: How do you describe sounds?

A35: There’s a lot of silence in my current wip. It’s a way to voice the loneliness the main character feels. Plus, most of the story takes place in winter in my home town where, at least during the era the story is set in, the accumulation of snow dampens all sounds.

You have given me something to think about, though. Will make sure that I don’t forget to describe sounds, or lack thereof, in my text.

Bleeding Hearts

Loved this 100%! I remember watching the then groundbreaking “Ellen kiss” with my mom and sister when I was a teenager. This song and its performance on SNL feels even more groundbreaking. A young lesbian woman, in hyper femme drag, announcing not only that she is a giver but that she gets women off every time and better than any man is perfection.

Thank you Chappell Roan! I hope IRL you find all the givers and takers that your heart, body and mind desires.

Are those beavers or bears dancing in the background?

Q36: The relationships you write, what kind of power-dynamics do they tend to have?

A36: In a romantic pairing, one character is 100% smitten and the other is not. (Unfortunately, I experienced this quite a bit before I met someone who was equally into me as I am in them. I guess this trope is a bit of a loose tooth for me that I like to wiggle from time to time.) By the end of the story, though, this pairing is over.

Wow, this fandom. How did you even get these pics?

Apparently Clarke’s gun has all the names of people she’s lost and Lexa’s name is the biggest………this is fine

I got a new job about a year ago. It’s an IT job and part of my job involves supporting desktops running different operating systems. Every morning I log into: wanheda (Linux), heda (windows) and clexa (OSX). They are all running smoothly.
