“—but Daphne softens him. She’s the reason I got a mobile phone when I turned 15. And the reason I got to go on school trips. And probably the reason my father didn’t murder Simon after our ancestral home lost its magic. She’s a good person. A good stepmother.”

Six Sentence Sunday

Hey friends! Long time no post. I feel like time is absolutely slipping away from me recently, but I finally finished a big project I've been working on since last year and I'm both so excited to share it with you soon and also SO glad to just be done so I can focus a bit more on other projects.

Like this one! My fic Apres which I really can't share much about until it's posted. But here's some relatively spoiler free Niamh and Agatha.

I grab some pants from the floor and get them halfway up my legs before realizing they’re Niamh’s. When I turn to face her she’s giving me a quizzical look, and I just keep tugging them up. She raises an eyebrow. “You can have mine. If you like.” “You’re strange,” she says, and it sounds (and feels) more like, “You’re deeply attractive.” Which, well, I know. But she never lets me know it, so I’ll bask in it, thanks very much. I find my own lacy knickers and toss them into her lap. She doesn’t comment as she pulls them on. “Do you wear these all the time? [redacted]? They can’t be comfortable long term,” she grouses, snapping the waistband. “You’d be surprised.”

And here is a teeny preview from my Big Secret Project (that a handful of people have sussed me out over already ahahaha)

hi! Thanks for tagging me today @wellbelesbian, @ic3-que3n, @bookish-bogwitch, @shrekgogurt, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @cutestkilla, @thewholelemon <3

I haven't posted in forever. I've been writing bits and pieces of a lot of things, but I haven't really feel like sharing. This is just for fun though. It's part of a Fiona&Gareth buddy cop comedy that I've mentioned once or twice. It's the silliest thing. Maybe not something I'll ever finish or post, but I had fun thinking about it.

So far I have a few vague scenes and a rough outline. Fiona took a dare from Nico that she'd never make it three months as a cop, so of course she had to Show Him. She got through cop school on a combination of obstinacy, magic, and cheating. Now she's on her first job and she's been partnered with Gareth, who's overenthusiastic and also accident-prone. Read some below, if you'd like. Sort of unedited. 😆

________________________________________

[A chase scene with Gareth on roller blades. I haven't decided who they're chasing yet, but I like the visual.]

Fiona ran after the man for a few yards, before doubling over.

"Fucking cancer sticks," she coughed. "Get his ass, Gareth!"

"Sure thing!" Gareth was on the front steps. He finished strapping on a pair of roller blades, then reached for the kneepads.

"Forget the kneepads, boyo. He's getting away."

Gareth looked incredulous. "I can't forget the kneepads. What if I fall?"

"Then you'll have a few scrapes. Big fucking deal."

"What if I need stitches?"

"You'll live!" She shouted.

"But I'm afraid of needles!" he shouted back.

While they were arguing, the man rounded the corner, and took off huffing down the lane.

Fiona frowned, then glanced around to make sure no one was watching. "Alright, boyo. Don't make me do this twice." She pulled out her bong, pointed it at Gareth and cast. "Safe as houses."

He looked down skeptically at his legs, which were now twice as thick, from the full-body padding. "I look like the Michelin Man."

"But you're safe as houses, boyo. Now after him!"

[Yes, Fiona casts with a bong. I don't even know. 🤣]

Hello, it is another Sunday and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe is right. How are we already this far into April? Anyway, thanks Jess, @cutestkilla , @shrekgogurt and @bookish-bogwitch for the tag and tag back to @wellbelesbian.

I haven't finished chapter 5, the upcoming chapter, of Just Some Guy yet. It's all I have left to do. Yet, I'm confident I'll have it finished on Wednesday, since it's almost done. Year 5 is just insane, not because of all the Chosen One stuff, but because Matt gets his heart broken.

Agatha Wellbelove is right there on the Great Lawn. She’s being held by Simon Snow. They’re on the ground, she’s in his lap, he’s whispering things in her ear and rubbing her arm in a soothing manner. He’s probably comforting her. Gosh, I almost wish I was the one saving the day, just so I could comfort her like that. I wish I could make Agatha feel safe.

Honestly, it's such a Matt thing to only care about heroics when it comes to the ✨ ladies ✨. But alas, he's just some guy.

far more than six sentences sunday (but! it’s six paragraphs!)

Hi y’all. I’m facing terrible writer’s block. These damn chapters just keep getting longer. I’m going to try to force myself to write a messier draft than usual. Perhaps that will help. What doesn’t help is that these flashbacks alone are shaping up to be 3k combined 🫠 but also they’re absolutely my favorite flashbacks I’ve written. You may find a snippet below!

Simon POV, past, age sixteen:

My jaw drops, stunning me into lengthy pauses between simple words.

“What…is… happening…”

“Shut up.” Baz orders, lifting his violin to his chin. “I’m proving something.”

A smirk spreads across my face.

“Yeah, something from four years ag—”

And then he starts playing. It’s the most effective way he’s ever shut me down. Better than outsmarting me. Or outmatching me. Because I don’t really feel like I’m losing. Because Baz is good at the violin. Not groundbreakingly so. He doesn’t have time for orchestra just like I wouldn’t have time for choir even if I wanted to. But I know he’s been taking private lessons with the music teacher. I followed him to one of them last year when I thought he was making a drug deal. (Turns out the drugs—in this instance—were fucking like Mozart or something.) (Swot.)

hello friends! thank you for the tags @wellbelesbian @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @monbons @bookish-bogwitch @cutestkilla @roomwithanopenfire @ic3-que3n @thehoneyedhufflepuff , excited about literally all of these things. so happy to be here enjoying the fruits of your labor.

I switched gears this week and tried to go back and edit what I have for COBB instead of pushing forward with writing future chapters. Whatever works to keep from getting psyched out or overwhelmed, right? I was able to force myself into the right headspace with some really helpful feedback in hand & I think it's coming along. Right now I'm trying to figure out exposition that isn't boring, that has the right foreshadowing, and that doesn't feel forced. Turns out that is...tricky? who would've known? very grateful for betas who will tell me if it's not working. I would really like it to work!

tags, Fiona's car, and 90s music moments under the cut.

And I’m grateful to be able to borrow the car, but I have to brace myself before turning the key. (Yes, it still uses a key; Fiona managed to make it growl if someone parks too close to it but she couldn't figure out keyless entry?) I brace myself because I'm not sure what's going to begin blasting from the radio. Fiona doesn't even remember what spell she used on that; it only plays the music she listened to in the 90s and early 2000s and somehow, it's frequently in tune with her moods. Once, when Nico complained about being the one to pick up takeaway again, it played nothing but No Scrubs by TLC for two straight weeks. We've tried dozens of times to undo it (or at least I have. I don't believe she's really trying. At times I even suspect she enjoys it). I've come around on the musical era but there's limits to any song's repeatability.

I had a work event this weekend, which was not fun and also exhausting, so I'm going to try to sneak in a nap now. I hope you get a nap if that's your thing!

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tags @monbons and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe!!

I have two weeks left of school now and I'm so ready to be done and have more time for writing. I was going to write yesterday but instead I made two fan edits, which took the entire day, but was fun! The real reason we need a Carry On movie is so I could make fan edits of them. Imagine them to literally any Hozier song.

I've written maybe 400 words this whole week, but I'll still be posting the next chapter of Proof of Life tomorrow. It's the first one in Simon's POV. Here's a snippet (below the cut for mild spoilers for the first four chapters)

Where is he? Why didn’t he come back to Watford? Doesn’t he know that it’s driving me crazy?

I pull at my hair. He probably is just plotting, I remind myself. 

We’ll track our way to Baz and find him taming some giant beast to kill me. Or maybe he’ll be with the Humdrum, and it’ll turn out that Baz has been working with him the whole time.

We’ll find him, and I’ll feel stupid about having ever worried in the first place.

“You were worried about me?” Baz will tease in his usual condescending way. He’ll sneer at me. “You should spend more time being worried for yourself.”

Then he’ll finally snap and drink my blood.

Having a lot of fun posting this fic, but I'm def falling behind in editing. I'll probably have to take a posting break sometime soon. But not yet. I need the serotonin from the comments to get me through finals week.

Thanks for the tags today @wellbelesbian @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @bookish-bogwitch and @monbons! I love your WIPs/fics tremendously. And thanks to all my other lovelies who keep tagging me every wipsday even though I only seem to share every 6 weeks or so 😂. Contrary to how it may appear, I am consistently working away on Chapter 5 of Hiding Out in the Open and I'm SO CLOSE to being done.

Anyway, let's catch up with way more than six sentences of Baz in one of my favourite places: mid-spiral.

What would Snow think it meant that I sent this to him? “Every time I said this reminds me of you, what I really meant was: this reminds me of me,” I’d told him once. Why did I ever say that? Why did I tell him anything reminded me of him, ever? Why didn’t I stop for a single solitary second to consider the dangerous precedent it would set, or how ridiculously transparent I was being with my secret garden and my cute snacks and my desperate incentives to let me close? Fuck me, what if he thought this was the reveal I’d idiotically teased to lure him out on a Friday night? "Surprise, Snow! I fell for you the moment we met, spent half the ensuing years mistaking the intense pain of knowing I could never have you for hatred, and the remainder pining after you in miserable silence and planning to die by your sword. Let’s discuss the psychological implications in painstaking detail! I brought popcorn!"

Thanks for the tags, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @monbons and @wellbelesbian. I'm excited to check out your WIPs.

Instead of something in progress, here are a dozen or so sentences from Chapter 7 of Basil Pitch's Diary, which posted yesterday. It's summer holiday, and our young hero is trying out Grindr.

“Hi, I’m Mick.”   Ding-dong. Mick had a thick blond moustache and sat astride a chestnut mare. He’d used some filter for a nostalgic eighties effect. Cliché—but those thighs. He could snap me in half. He could snap the horse in half. He—  Wait. I knew that horse. Clara had been my mother’s, and was already a nag by the time I was born. Those thighs belonged to Michael, our groom, and that photo was at least thirty years old.  Swiped left.

Will Baz find summer love? Will Michael find an age-appropriate date? And what's going on with Simon? Find conclusive answers to none of these questions in the latest chapter update!

Six Some Sentences Sunday

Thank you to @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tag! Your snippet of Back and Back and Back was lovely. Little baby Baz with a smiling, knowing Simon was adorable.

After the major reveal of Chapter 4, it is going to get harder to do updates without huge spoilers for those of you who have not yet started reading. There are only two solutions to that problem: 1) you can no longer click on my previews at all--I know some of you have been reading them even though you aren't reading the actual fic yet!--or an even better solution, 2) you start reading! You won't regret it, I promise.

With that in mind, the first two paragraphs of Chapter 5 should be safe for everyone, even if you haven't been completely sucked in by The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch yet. (Although seriously, what are you waiting for???)

Hampshire, England March 8, 1708 Natasha has always insisted that glassworkers are forged in the crucible of heartbreak. After all, to become a master glassblower, the kind that produces tableware worthy of the crown, means years of suffering, of failure and injury, of glass gone wrong in every way imaginable, before finally producing anything of note, anything worth keeping. Baz may have grown up a glassworker, but his crucible is only just beginning.

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

Hey! I’d love to ask about New Thoughts/Stepdad if you’re interested!

You’re so sweet to pick this one ❤️ this is the original story I’ve been haunted by for … god has it been years? I was so naively optimistic when I said, “I’ve written novel length fics before; I can write a book.” LOL. Adorable.

This story has seen a number of iterations but my latest breakthrough is largely fueled by advice/insight from @bookish-bogwitch that my strength lies in dialogue and I’ve been trying to channel that in my newest revisions, getting back to my banter beginnings and seeing if that sparks anything. It’s also been fueled by some personal shit I’m still working through… so maybe it’s okay that I dropped a bunch of incoherent notes about things I wanna do and then ghosted the doc.

Here’s some utter nonsense:

He gets in the car and turns to look stone-faced at Anna.

“I know.”

“Do you?”

“Come on, Bryan. I haven’t called you my gay bestie since college. I’ve evolved.”

“Hmm…I seem to remember you wearing your [insert sorority] shirt this weekend.”

“On laundry day!”

Banter banter banter about their past life, intro to their dynamic, make this good! (lol) balance of dialogue, internality, and movement.

Make Anna really fucking aggressive as a driver; Bryan’s holding on for dear life. Bryan makes it clear Anna owes him for the dinner fiasco.

Anyways, they get home and Bryan disappears into the closet and comes out holding a slutty top.

“I’m not wearing that.”

Bryan frowns. “Of course you’re fucking not. This is mine.”

#hell yes to the banter and dialogue #you do it so well 🥰 #thank you for sharing this is adorbs

Happy Sunday everyone! I’m quite shocked we’re 3/4 of the way through April. Where did this month go? On the other hand, it’s getting warmer and summer is around the corner, so bring it on!

I’ve got a snippet from Back and Back and Back, my time travel AU fic. Chapters 1 and 2 are written and half of 3 and 4 as well. It might be a while before I post, though, because I kind of want to have it all or mostly written first. It’s been a long time since I’ve written something not connected to a fest or event, so its nice having the luxury of time for this one. Here’s a bit of six year old Baz with his Dragon Man friend from Chapter 1 again:

“Jammie Dodgers? How’d you know those were my favorites?”

I smile proudly, even though I didn’t know that, but his bright smile and playful tone relaxes me.

“Would you like some?” I ask, stepping forward and holding the biscuits up to him.

“Thanks, Baz,” he says, reaching to take one and then wandering over to a fallen log to sit.

“It’s Basil,” I correct, following him over and sitting next to him on the log. He kicks his long legs out, crossing them at the ankle. I try to copy him and frown at how short my legs look compared to his. “Nobody calls me Baz.”

“Right, sorry,” he says, shaking his head with a smirk on his lips. “Keep forgetting.”
