MinoanMiss's obituary. Which I will eventually be able to read.

If you knew her and you have some cash to spare, there is a GoFundMe for burial & memorial costs.

I am hanging out with

jackabug and

teland this week, after meeting

katarik and having a meal with Jack, Kat, and

jadelennox after the memorial last weekend.

It is good to be on vacation.

I am mostly Not Thinking about the event this weekend, to which I was going to take

minoanmiss, because when I think about it, it makes me want to cry. On the plus side, I will have quite a few other people I know there to talk to, sing with, and hug.

Read Because: can't remember where I found this one!, borrowed from Multnomah Public Library
Review: An autistic trans man's life has been some version of fine, living with his violent not-boyfriend and working at one of the hives' podunk fronts—until he discovers that he's pregnant, and the hive wants him to keep it. I can't read pregnancy stories, even as horror; but pushed this far, it wraps right back to compelling. I wish it had gone further; there's a few "no, he wouldn't" moments were ... White doesn't, and I've been reading a lot of Porpentine Charity Heartscape and so while I am cheering with pompoms for books about dirty nasty belligerent body horror I've also been spoiled by dirtier and nastier; and the ending does go there, but wants a few extra pages out of a fairly short novel to expand on the consequences.

But, frankly? Frankly, who cares for nitpicks. Icky-nasty, lit by a virulent but complicated and dynamic anger, this rips the private into public space. I'm an id-first reader, and this butts against fetish/fandom tropes in the best way, and then enriches the id with anxiety: the unsublimated, conscious edges of desire and disgust. Fantastic reading experience, devoured it, would read again.

I probably wouldn't have read this because pregnancy, but ( personal rambles. )

Treat preference: Yes, please! One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats, and if some of these can be inexpensive and quickly procured so much the better. Iris Murdoch

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon; Springer - Enola Holmes. TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Sherlock BBC; Enola Holmes. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations; Sherlock & Co.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson; Holmes & Enola; Mycroft & Enola; Sherlock & Mycroft (& Enola); or any permutation of this list where Holmes/Watson is a given.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Disability; Humor; Case Fic (I'm not great at this and tend to crib shamelessly from ACD canon but I'm willing to try); First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Family Drama; Family Shenanigans; I am particularly fond of writing Enola verbally sparring with Mycroft.
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicidal ideation or implied suicide; child abuse. I appear cute and fluffy to the casual observer, but I am quite willing to write angst. I prefer to write happy and/or hopeful endings. I am not prone to utter despair and hopelessness.

I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, vids, graphics, podfic, music--it's all good!
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:Books: Canon; Springer-Enola Holmes. TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Sherlock BBC; Enola Holmes. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations; Sherlock & Co.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson; Holmes & Enola; Mycroft & Enola; Sherlock & Mycroft (& Enola); or any permutation of this list where Holmes/Watson is a given.
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Disability; PTSD; Case Fic; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence.
With any of the following ratings: 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; child abuse.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Something spicy, not necessarily explicit and not PWP--I like my spice with an actual plot. I often enjoy a not-completely-settled ending but I don't want to be left unbearably bereft or despairing. Absolutely no main character death or actual suicide. (Reichenbach issues are fine, especially if you want to improve on the disaster that was the Moftiss take on it.) I love family stories, so including Enola and/or Rosie would be welcomed. I do not approve of the way Nancy Springer wrote Mama Holmes, so feel free to improve on that! I do not think that Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, as portrayed in BBC Sherlock were as awful as Sherlock and Mycroft made them out to be (because Eurus does NOT exist) so I will take them in a "good enough parent" scenario. Along with my spice, I want some angst, too. That said, I am always up for silly fluffiness. Not crack, necessarily, but fun.
Special requests: I'd like to stretch a bit--please, some spice, some angst--I can write fluff with my eyes closed. I haven't tried Sherlock & Co, so I'm willing to dip my toes into that particular pool. I am also quite fond of research, so historical fic is always welcome. I'd prefer to write characters from BBC, Enola Holmes (TV), or Sherlock & Co and am willing to set them almost anywhere from the dawn of time to the present. (Ok, that may be an exaggeration, but hopefully you get the idea). I'd like to get away from ACD if possible.

DCU:
A bird in the hand - Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, the first identity porn story, Brucie Wayne/Nightwing. With Jamjar.

Also from the How to Marry a Millionaire verse, Mussels, with Bruce/Dick/Clark.

À la recherche de la honte perdue - Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, in which Dick dresses as Marie Antoinette (just like in canon) and Bruce dresses as Louis XVI (canon!) and then they have sex (okay, that was me).

If you're on fire - Steph Brown, Cassandra Cain, and Kon-El have Adventures.

In Flagrante Delicto - Slade Wilson/Dick Grayson, co-written with Rubynye, as were the commentaries. (Yes, I do know how much it's going to suck for people to get a heads-up from her, but it's better than losing her words.)

So unlike a wife, Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson with crossdressing, Selina Kyle, and sharp edges.

DVD commentary by Petra on

Behold my index crush. Look at his charming dimples that only appear at delightfully rare moments! Marvel at his subtle humour and earnest indexicalness! Just look at his adorable hand gestures, side parting and skivvy/brown blazer combo.

Watching this video is soothing to my brain.

I just checked AO3. There is Not A Single Fic about this man. Not a one!

ETA: Also that thing he does with his eyebrow, arching one while the other stays horizontal.

ETTA: That video is from many decades ago. That man has two children and a wife. They spent a holiday on an organic farm in Australia. There is too much internet out there for a fourth wall. I must now draw back from this brink.

Nothing stopping me from listening to the dulcet tones of a room full of indexers, though.

ETTTA: I first encountered this indexer via this page https://taxonomist.tripod.com/indexing/wordproblems.html when I was struggling with doing an index using MS Word. It's an irreverent, incredibly detailed and pragmatically helpful page. And the formatting dates it to a Different Time.

Current Mood: RPF is now impossible

The moral of the last two episodes can be summed up as "never air live when you can air on a delay instead". Though I did find those chyrons for the show trial pretty amusing!

I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Canon. TV/Film: Granada TV Show; Rathbone Films. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson; Holmes & Watson.
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Case Fic; First Time; First Kiss; Retirement; Autistic Holmes; Trans Holmes; Gendernonconformity.
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content.
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: light dom/sub dynamics.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
As ever, I absolutely love retirement era fluff. Holmes and Watson settled in Sussex with the bees, pottering about, makes me very happy.
I strongly read Holmes as autistic, so I’d love to see that included. The boy can hold so many sensory issues, and so much projection!
Something that would be really interesting to see is the boys interacting with the queer culture of their era. I’m thinking canon Holmes going to Molly houses, Rathbone Holmes speaking polari and going to underground clubs.
Do not want: any reference to vomit.

Special requests: nothing. Thank you, mods!

Title: A Fixed Point
Fandom: Culture Club
Pairing: Boy George/Jon Moss
Rating: G
Length: 1191
Content notes: Content warnings for anxiety/panic attack, discussion of near-drowning, implied past trauma.
Author notes: Inspired by Jon Moss having an actual phobia of deep water and boats due to nearly drowning as a child, and the fact the video for Karma Chameleon takes place on deep water, on a boat. OOF.
Written for: Challenge 510 - River
Summary: It's just a video shoot. The river looks calm... Jon doesn't.
