⭐star⭐  from Directors Cut - what fic have you been dying to talk about?
Eeeee, thank you, @elephant-in-the-pride-parade! ❤️
I’m going to talk about The Haze.
The Haze is a Pikeuna one-shot in which Una has amnesia. I wrote it between seasons one and two, and trying to write amnesia for a character with very little backstory — when I knew more backstory was likely on the way — was difficult for me.
To explain: I got into fanfic through Voyager. My first story is from long after the series went off the air. Writing for developing canon has been a real mind-bender. With The Haze, I was admitting to myself that I could write something that would be canon-consistent … for a while … then quite likely wouldn’t be canon-consistent anymore. I think other writers learned this lesson sooner, but I finally got it with The Haze.
In that vein, for The Haze, I was working from Una’s season one description of Illyrians: “Illyrians seek collaboration with nature. By bioengineering our bodies, we adapt to naturally-existing habitats. Instead of terraforming planets, we modify ourselves. And there's nothing wrong with that.” I took that to mean Illyrians were very nature-focused. So when amnesia basically reset Una’s brain, she thinks in terms of nature analogies. I worked really hard on those and I’m really freaking proud of them to this day. Even though we saw child-Una living in a city in season two. Because The Haze was my fic to let myself use the canon I had and to try not to get upset if/when that canon would be affected by future canon.
A few more things:
This fic, because Una’s brain is missing a lot of information, was a great opportunity to play with repetition. Una can’t have a nuanced vocabulary, so her inner monologue had to reflect complex thoughts within a relatively small pool of words. I really enjoyed that challenge.
Una’s brain on factory reset … analyzing everyone around her, cataloging their faults, trying to boss them around … that was great fun.
It was really important for me that Chris set a boundary and Una, as much of a mess as she is, instantly respect that boundary. She doesn’t know she’s stronger than he is, but he knows. Her care for him even when she doesn’t know him or herself was a critical element of the story.
This fic was the first of two stories I wrote in a row in which a man shows deep respect for a woman by being quiet and letting her think. Hmmm.
As you can probably tell, I so much appreciate the opportunity to talk about this story that means so much to me. Thank you again, @elephant-in-the-pride-parade. ❤️
Want more information about a fic I wrote? Send me an ask.

Your 'queue look like thunder' tag makes me want to gif "Parade's End" every time I see it. I love it!
Can't say I blame you!

I went to my first Christopher Street Day Celebration today.
I've been waiting for this day since I came out as ace two years ago, shortly before Corona shut down every event. I've been preparing for this day for three weeks. I bought rainbow shoelaces and a rainbow belt and I painted hearts in ace colours on my shirts. I was excited. I went alone because none of my friends had time or wanted to go there which was fine by me. I wanted to go to be amoung queer people. To be among my people. I listened to queer artists by myself, most of them gay, trans or bi. I listened to a political discussion on transgender people which was awesome.
Then I cried on the train home.
Among the thousands of people on that street, not one carried an ace flag. Not one stand sold them. It was all rainbow, trans, bi and one had pan. I spotted (1) ace flag on the stand of a political party, knee-high, so that I only noticed it the third time I walked by.
I have always been confident and proud in my sexuality and I spent a lot of time online surrounded by other ace people on social media. I have read countless hate-comments, too, of course. I knew we were underrepresented.
But I had never felt it. I have never felt so alone and lost before. Nobody talked to me about my flag. Nobody asked. Nobody cared.
I have two ace friends, both biromantic, but mostly they just identify as bi because it's easier than explaining that they don't feel something other people feel. I can't do that. I am aro-ace, or the "neither-nor", as a friend's mom calls me. I am more than happy with my sexuality but for the first time, I felt isolated because of it today. I can't just jump into another community like others who might be lucky enough to experience romantic attraction. I only have that one label and even though most people I meet pity me for it, I have only ever found comfort in it. Until today at least.
After today, I hate those comments even more. "We don't need a label for everything", "Asexuality is not real", "Try hormone therapy". We need this label. I need this label. Because I have no other way to identify myself. It's important to represent the aro/ace community, to show that we exist, we are here, and we are valid. Not only on social media but outside as well. To help other aces find themselves and find others like them. Nobody should feel alone and lost just because they happen to belong to an underrepresented community.
I know I never want to feel like that again.
