“What about me?”(Comic)
Here’s some fan art of Project 863: Season 6 Chapter 10.
This scene in this chapter felt so personal to Matt because of his not so great experience as a phantom.
Hope y’all like this one.

Author Interview
Thanks for the tag, @littlelindentree ^_^ Happy New Year!
1. how many works do you have on AO3?
20
2. what's your total AO3 word count?
981,132
3. what fandoms do you write for?
I have written for Dragon Age: Inquisition, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
The Lily Farm (Arthur Morgan x Mary Beth Gaskill, RDR2)
That he may hold me by the hand (Arthur Morgan x Albert Mason, RDR2)
The Dead Season (Solavellan, DAI)
Magnolia (Bethyl, TWD)
Yours, Sadie Adler. (Sadithur, RDR2)
5. do you respond to comments?
Yes, as often as I can. Sometimes, I forget on older fics. I'm sorry about that. If someone is rude to me in the comments though, I will respond rudely!
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably Teen Wolf. It's a story collection so the ending isn't really "true," but it's the end of Solas and Ghilan'nain's love story, in my mind. It's sad and bittersweet, as in the story, they are talking about building a house on the back acreage of Solas's mother's property, but I envision the very next day as being the day that Andruil invades the Weathers, kidnapping both Ghilan'nain and Solas's mother Leanathy, and beginning the Great War. In the ensuing days, Andruil's men leave Solas for dead, and when he wakes up, he goes to Mythal and begs her to free his mother in exchange for his loyalty. She accepts, rescuing and protecting Leanathy in her Blue Palace, and Solas becomes her Bodyguard. Eventually, he is elevated to her General, then he becomes her lover. During the war, after Ghilan'nain's betrayal, the Evanuris murder Mythal, and Solas, out of vengeance and grief, builds the veil and imprisons them all, including Mythal's soul, which would, over time, resurrect into her body, using special magic taught to her by Solas's mother many thousands of years before.
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Well, most of my long fics are unfinished. I'm sorry about that. I think that The Dead Season has a happy ending. So does Yours, Sadie Adler., thought it is bittersweet.
8. do you get hate on fics?
Not tons at all. I have gotten a few rude commenters over the years, mainly people being weirdly critical of my writing style in ways that are, frankly, moronic, and also some people who just want me to write more smut. But I don't write much smut anymore, and I don't think fics need smut to be worthy or interesting. If you only want a smut fic, you probably won't like my writing. Remember that tags exist so that you can see what you're getting into before you crack the first chapter!!!!
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
Lol. Speaking of. I used to write much more. It was never the overly explicit kind and I didn't have any specific kinks I liked to explore, but I wrote a lot of it for DAI and RDR2. I still write sex scenes for sure, it's just that they tend to be character driven.
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
I have never written a real crossover; however, I do have some crossover characters in The Lily Farm. In the later chapters, I have two main characters who are taken from other texts: Woodrow Call from Lonesome Dove and LaBoeuf from True Grit. Both are Texas Rangers, and in my fic, they owe Dutch a few rather large favors. They help Arthur and Mary Beth on the river boat job, which goes terribly wrong. They also help break John out of federal prison. They are two of my favorite characters in the fic.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. I've had plenty of art stolen over the years and I don't even keep track anymore. Mainly it just gets reposted without credit on like, Pinterest. Oh well!
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of! But I am amenable.
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
I don't think so!
14. what's your all-time favourite ship?
I have several though Bethyl and Solavellan are probably tied for first.
15. what's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The Lily Farm. In truth there's not a ton left to write. But it's been 84 years like I don't even remember the geography of the game. I would have to replay RDR2, at least through chapter 4. I also wish I could finish Zero, my Niloy fic for HZD. I still think about them, and I still occasionally get really really nice comments on that fic. I honestly wish I could finish all my old fics. Like That he may hold, which also has maybe one closing chapter left to write. I wish I could finish As You Were, too, my TLOU fic, just so that I can save Joel's life, and as a big fuck you to Neil Druckmann.
16. what are your writing strengths?
I'm not sure. Pacing has probably always been my greatest strength.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
Overwriting, getting bored. My issue is often that I start a fic with modest goals but then those goals get bigger and bigger as I go, and I can't help myself. Then, I eventually get bored and I don't finish. I view fanfic as a way for authors to express themselves and their hyperfixations in the moment. I think that the quality of being "unfinished" is, in an of itself, conventional to fanfiction; however, I still view my general lack of focus as a weakness.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Don't translate it. Just put it there. If your reader cares enough and doesn't know the translation, they'll look it up. If they don't care enough to do this, then they're not your target audience. The internet makes this sort of thing very easy.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Technically it's the boyband fandom (*NSync and Backstreet Boys, mainly) in like 1998, but in actuality, it's Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2016.
20. favourite fic you've written?
Probably Yours, Sadie Adler. It feels the most complete, and I still don't know how I managed to write that fic so quickly, when I was like three weeks postpartum with my second baby, and with very little revision. It just flowed out of me, like it was already written in my mind, and all I had to do was type it out. I have received some really lovely comments on it over the years. It seems to affect people deeply, which makes me very happy, because it came from a very raw place in my heart.
I will tag @thevikingwoman @bearlytolerant @roguelioness @gneebee @shallow-gravy @a-shakespearean-in-paris @pipergirl17 @sasusc and @im-immortal <3

the wind knows my name - isabel allende
no, we’re not lost. the wind knows my name. and yours too.
writing about this book was a very difficult mission. I found the story incredibly beautiful, but also VERY sad. it got to a point in the history where I could only pray to heaven that nothing bad would happen anymore (and it did).
it was my first contact with the author and with the genre, I can say that it was a great surprise, this book has become one of my favorites. the story is very well written and the characters are very endearing, I always wanted to continue to know their fate.
we begin with the story of the adlers, a jewish family residing in vienna during the nazi occupation. after a sequence of horrors, samuel adler's mother decides to send him on one of the trains that took jewish children from germany, from that, his story as an orphan of war begins.
we also met lety, a child who lived in el salvador. due to an illness, she needs to leave her village to seek treatment, she travels with her father and is hospitalized until she is well, when it comes the day to her father pick her up to return to the village, he arrives informing her that they will never return there, instead they will start a life in the united states. she never returned to el salvador.
the next character that is presented, selena duran, is a social worker who works on the magnolia project, a project focused on offering legal support to immigrants trying to enter the united states, she seeks lawyers to be volunteers in the cases of families that are separated during this process. she meets frank, a lawyer willing to work on the case of a child who is in the united states and has lost contact with his mother.
and lastly, we will meet anita, a child who was caught crossing the mexico/us border. soon they were separated and anita lost contact with her mother. she had to stay in different homes with nothing but her imagination and the hope of finding her mother again.
the stories take place in different time periods, but they all connect eventually.
although the characters are fictional, the story is not, all the characters came from a real and horrific history. the reading was very emotional, for several moments I found myself crying, it's impossible not to root for these strong and courageous characters. I was able to know certain events that I had no idea of existence. anyway, I will definitely read other books by isabel allende, I loved it. 5/5 and favourite

I am… redoing my intro (I have nothing better to do and I’m starting to dislike the original intro I made)
I am Aiston and I am 18 years old. I don’t have a label for my gender or my sexuality as of now, but I use they/xe/he pronouns.
I love Witch’s Heart a lot. My favorite characters are Wilardo Adler and Sirius Gibson and uhhh I may post quite a bit on both of them
As for my other fandoms, I really like Your Turn to Die, Madoka Magica, Super Paper Mario, Demon Slayer, and a lot of other things too. I wanna post about some stuff that isn’t Witch’s Heart related as well, buuut I’m not super sure where to begin ^^’
On another note, I am very interested in drawing/art. I like doing detailed pieces and silly doodles sometimes… I also write and I create OCs I may or may not talk about here. I also love cats and flowers… Cats are adorable and silly and I just think flowers are pretty (my favorites are probably roses, calla lilies, and magnolias but suddenly I’m gaining a bigger appreciation for dahlias as of late… idk they’re all beautiful)
I don’t think I have anything else to say, but this is what I’ve got about me

I'm not the biggest fan of either audiobooks or podcasts because I always get SO RESTLESS while listening, I have to do something else, and then when I pay attention to that something else I realize 5-10 min later I haven't been listening so I have to go back. This year I tried several audiobooks, but I basically have to be reading along to enjoy it and they all go a tiny bit slow for my taste. That said, I always welcome recs so can we get an update on your reads, Sarah? Or after NYE, no hush!
You bet! Previous update from September.
Dear Child by Romy Hausmann - Just okay. Room-esque but not as good.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Tippi by Tippi Hedren (TSS Book Club post here)
Florence Adler Swims Forever by Rachel Beanland - Feelings!
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel - Confusing at first to understand but all the pieces came together.
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid - Like all TJR books, devoured this in less than a day.
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post - For all my Kate Quinn historical fiction lovers. Great read.
Book Lovers by Emily Henry - So enjoyable and fun. (TSS Book Club post here)
The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis - Interesting concept but felt the split narrative wasn't necessary/interesting.
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett - Unclear how such a fascinating and action-driven plot could be so boring and unremarkable.
Shit, Actually by Lindy West - I always like breaking up my reading with a fun book. Many times I needed to stifle my own laughter while reading this in bed.
The It Girl by Ruth Ware - Murder mystery with much plot twist. Good.
The Maid by Nita Prose - Murder mystery with not really a plot twist. Fine-ish.
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - Wry, frustrating, hilarious, compelling. A much needed breath of fresh air after a string of 'okay' books. Devoured this one.

New Releases this Week
September 2019 is a busy month for YA publishing. We have another great week of releases to look forward to tomorrow (September 10, 2019).
A Match Made in Mehendi by Nandini Pajpai
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Fifteen-year-old Simran “Simi” Sangha comes from a long line of Indian vichole-matchmakers-with a rich history for helping parents find good matches for their grown children. When Simi accidentally sets up her cousin and a soon-to-be lawyer, her family is thrilled that she has the “gift.”
But Simi is an artist, and she doesn’t want to have anything to do with relationships, helicopter parents, and family drama. That is, until she realizes this might be just the thing to improve her and her best friend Noah’s social status. Armed with her family’s ancient guide to finding love, Simi starts a matchmaking service-via an app, of course.
But when she helps connect a wallflower of a girl with the star of the boys’ soccer team, she turns the high school hierarchy topsy-turvy, soon making herself public enemy number one.
His Hideous Heart edited by Dahlia Adler
Flatiron Books
Thirteen of YA’s most celebrated names reimagine Edgar Allan Poe’s most surprising, unsettling, and popular tales for a new generation.

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
Make Me a World
Pet is here to hunt a monster.
Are you brave enough to look?
There are no more monsters anymore, or so the children in the city of Lucille are taught. With doting parents and a best friend named Redemption, Jam has grown up with this lesson all her life. But when she meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colours and claws, who emerges from one of her mother’s paintings and a drop of Jam’s blood, she must reconsider what she’s been told. Pet has come to hunt a monster, and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption’s house. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover the truth, and the answer to the question-How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?
In their riveting and timely young adult debut, acclaimed novelist Akwaeke Emezi asks difficult questions about what choices a young person can make when the adults around them are in denial.
The Magnolia Sword: A Ballad of Mulan by Sherry Thomas
Tu Books
CHINA, 484 A.D.
A Warrior in Disguise
All her life, Mulan has trained for one purpose: to win the duel that every generation in her family must fight. If she prevails, she can reunite a pair of priceless heirloom swords separated decades earlier, and avenge her father, who was paralyzed in his own duel.
Then a messenger from the Emperor arrives, demanding that all families send one soldier to fight the Rouran invaders in the north. Mulan’s father cannot go. Her brother is just a child. So she ties up her hair, takes up her sword, and joins the army as a man.
A War for a Dynasty
Thanks to her martial arts skills, Mulan is chosen for an elite team under the command of the princeling–the royal duke’s son, who is also the handsomest man she’s ever seen. But the princeling has secrets of his own, which explode into Mulan’s life and shake up everything she knows. As they cross the Great Wall to face the enemy beyond, Mulan and the princeling must find a way to unwind their past, unmask a traitor, and uncover the plans for the Rouran invasion . . . before it’s too late.
Inspired by wuxia martial-arts dramas as well as the centuries-old ballad of Mulan, The Magnolia Sword is perfect for fans of Renee Ahdieh, Marie Lu, or Kristin Cashore–a thrilling, romantic, and sharp-edged novel that lives up to its beloved heroine.
Frankly in Love by David Yoon
G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers
High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo–his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents’ traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance–“Date Korean”–which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful–and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they’ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it’s the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy’s fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love–or himself–at all.

The Other Side: Stories of Central American Teen Refugees Who Dream of Crossing the Border by Juan Pablo Villalobos, Rosalind Harvey (Translator)
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Award-winning Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos explores illegal immigration with this emotionally raw and timely nonfiction book about ten Central American teens and their journeys to the United States.
You can’t really tell what time it is when you’re in the freezer.
Every year, thousands of migrant children and teens cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The journey is treacherous and sometimes deadly, but worth the risk for migrants who are escaping gang violence and poverty in their home countries. And for those refugees who do succeed? They face an immigration process that is as winding and multi-tiered as the journey that brought them here.
In this book, award-winning Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos strings together the diverse experiences of eleven real migrant teenagers, offering readers a beginning road map to issues facing the region. These timely accounts of courage, sacrifice, and survival—including two fourteen-year-old girls forming a tenuous friendship as they wait in a frigid holding cell, a boy in Chicago beginning to craft his future while piecing together his past in El Salvador, and cousins learning to lift each other up through angry waters—offer a rare and invaluable window into the U.S.–Central American refugee crisis.
In turns optimistic and heartbreaking, The Other Side balances the boundless hope at the center of immigration with the weight of its risks and repercussions. Here is a necessary read for young people on both sides of the issue.
