Where did you get Vega? I would love to eventually have a red tailed green rat snake of my own but they seem hard to come by, any recommendations?
I got her from Steph and Jim Tracy (they don’t have a website or anything, they posted an ad on the Kingsnake online marketplace). They had imported a wild, gravid female who laid eggs in captivity, and Vega was one of those hatchlings. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the Tracys receive any RTGRs since then.
I got my male RTGR Altair from Legacy Reptiles, and I’ve seen Zerkle Repiles have captive-hatched babies, both also from wild dams who laid after capture.
I have not seen anyone in the US offer true captive born & bred (CBB), but hopefully one day I’ll be able to offer them myself!
Wild caught RTGRs are relatively easy to find, but extremely hard to keep alive and they are practically unhandleable. It's definitely worth waiting to come across the rare CH or rarer CBB.

Hey, do you have any fics where John is victim of abusive relationship?
Hey Nonny!
Ahhhh hmm. I thought I had some in a community recs list, but I don't seem to have filed it, oof.
I can think of a couple off the top of my head:
A Life Well-Lived by Kate_Lear (E, 20,121 w., 1 Ch. || Original Male Character, Sherlock Woos John, Jealous Sherlock, Reluctant Bi-John, Past Abuse, Insecure John, Reassuring / Caring Sherlock, Protective Sherlock, Understanding Sherlock) – John got scared off men by an abusive past relationship. Sherlock has to try and woo him while not scaring him off with protective possessive rage.
Scars by SilentAuror (E, 60,494 w., 5 Ch. || Rape / Non-Con / Abuse, Gaslighting, Manipulation, Dub Con Elements, Homophobia, Angst With Happy Ending, Mary is Not Nice) – S3 rewrite, showing Mary’s manipulation of John as he realizes his love for Sherlock. Mary is not having it.
-----
If anyone can add any, please do, including Emotional Abuse fics!

I hate OCD.
Hey Nonny *HUGS*
I'm so sorry; I can't say that I relate exactly because while I do have OCD tendencies, it's more "perfectionism / being particular about things" (like food touching on my plate, and I have to check my door at least twice before I leave home to make sure it's locked, and I tend to have moments where I have legit driven all the way back home because I couldn't remember if I did the check, which of course I DID because I do it every time, but if I don't have a memory of it, I have to go back), which ABSOLUTELY is not the same thing and I can only imagine how tough trying to deal is for anyone.
I offer my love and support to you while you're struggling, Nonny. I hope that you are seeing a professional (is it a therapist or psychologist for that kind of thing?) and that they're giving you ways to cope. *HUGS*
I'm so sorry, Nonny <3 Please take care of yourself <3

Steph, just saw your post on how you organise your fics, and it's so impressive! The effort it must take to maintain it and keep up with it seems amazing to me! Thank you for all you do for the fandom ❤❤❤

Hey Nonny!
AHHHH THANKS!! I'm so happy someone appreciates my insanity, LOL. Truly, it's a lot of work, but worth it, I think :)

Hello, first I want to say thanks for everything you do! I'm a bit of a lurker and your master lists and recs are incredible for me. My question is about a fic involving Watson getting shot by a sniper, presumably Moran, through the windows of their flat at a (I think) Christmas party hosted there. I cant remember much else except Mrs. Hudson was there as well and screamed when Watson got shot.. I have searched and don't see it. I swear I'm not making this story up, maybe you remember it?
Hey Nonny!
You’re welcome!! Thank YOU for being a lurker!! <3 I wouldn’t have this blog without y’al!
That said, I don’t know which fic this is, unfortunately! Anyone able to help us out?

"None of S4 makes any sense to the general flow of the series from S1 to TAB. Everything just gets disregarded and forgotten all so [. . .]" ---- As a Whovian who unfortunately had to weather 6.5 seasons worth of Steven Moffat as showrunner, S4 is actually around the general norm of his writing. He may hit S1 and S2 heights here and there, but S4 pretty much reflects Moffat overall.
(referencing this post)
Hey Nonny!
OH YES ABSOLUTELY. I’m not a Whovian in the sense that I know everything and anything about Who, but I did get into the series with 9 and loved it until the Matt Smith Era, and kinda... stopped watching after Clara came (I don’t like her character at all) and just never got back into it after Smith left – I buy every season, I just haven’t been able to get over the writing of the Clara Era :P
But YES I know what you’re talking about... A lot of my followers have posted about how much Moffat has a certain writing style that starts good and then just gets ridiculous. So yeah, a lot of what I think is wrong with S4 is because they didn’t have that third writer they had in the past seasons to ensure the stories flowed. I think they saw how successful TAB was without the third writer, and then they got cocky and decided that they didn’t NEED the quality control, LOL. 
I’ve often told people that I think Moffat is better at writing single-episodes (like a few of my fave Who episodes before he was a showrunner WERE written by him) rather than long episodic series. Seems as soon as he has 100% control, everything sort of spirals into complete nonsense because I find he has trouble keeping plot threads together, wants to cram really weird dumb things or references into his shows, wants to “subvert expectations” by ruining plot threads, and his idea of a “strong, powerful woman” is essentially a stereotype.
Gatiss is just as much to blame, in my opinion, since he is credited as a co-writer and creator, and it’s his job as such to make sure shit makes sense. But seems they both wanted to cram all the ridiculous things they wanted into one season. I thought for sure it would take more than 3 episodes, to be honest, but seems 3 is the limit for them (I haven’t seen it yet, but I heard Dracula wasn’t that great by the end). They do one really good (or decent, depending upon how you feel about it) episode (TAB), and then crash and burn when they have to carry a story by themselves. 
They REALLY need that third writer back if they do S5. If only so they can get the show back on track and salvage what they can.

so, i know you made that one post about the difference between G, T, M, and E ratings (and you might have answered some of these already whoops) but what does K and K+ mean? and how do NC-17 and R ratings compare to an explicit rating (in the context of fanfics)? oh! and what does UST / RST mean? honestly i've been in the fandom game for like 3 years and i still don't understand all the slang/lingo ;~;
Hi Lovely!!
Yes, I’ve talked about rating systems on fanfics before:
what’s the line between everyone, teen, explicit, or like NC-17?
what's the difference between explicit and mature?
So those will answer most of your questions :)
K / K+ is Fanfiction.net’s rating for fics that are similarly rated on Ao3 as “G” or a REALLY light T. So all audiences, fluff, no smut.
UST / RST = Unresolved Sexual Tension / Resolved Sexual Tension. Similarly there’s URT / RRT, in which “Romantic” is the middle R. :)
Hope those help you out! And never hesitate to ask questions! I’m always willing to help as best as I can :)

Could you tell me any john lock fics in which both of them are agents and rivals ?
Hey Lovely!!
Ahhh, I’ve never really gotten much with this theme in the past. This is the closest I can offer. It’s just one or the other are spies. I’d be interested too, though, if anyone has any!! Anyone able to help us?

Here is the insecure ace nonny again because I just wanted to thank you and everyone else for your kind answers and support! It really helps me a lot hearing that from you, because before I always felt somehow faulty and was even unsure if I was part of the ace community and thought maybe I just belonged nowhere, but thanks to you now I know of the term Aegosexual and I think it also applies to me. Thank you for helping me figure this out, right in Ace Week, and I wish you all the best <3

Hey Nonny!
I hope you don’t mind I split this from the original; I didn’t want this message to get missed, because I feel it is so important that ace-questioning people know that they explore and research the various aspects of the ace spectrum so they never feel lost and broken like I did. I’m very happy to have helped you in what little way I did. Love you Nonny, and good luck in your journey <3
