claimed - PH #222: Sugar & Vice Series - Allie Therin, Polar Explorer RPF, Slow Horses (TV)
Request 1 by Pun
Sugar & Vice Series - Allie Therin
Characters: Reece Davies, Evan Grayson
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I mean, I think we need all the pining, right? I would love anything set in post book 2 that shows these two guys realizing just how much they hate being apart, even, if Reece has "turned."
I'd also love anything set between the books, although I know it's not a lot of time that has passed when Twisted Shadows begins, it's clear that Reece and Evan have been texting regularly in the interim. And I love how well we get that sense in the first few chapters of them talking more and more, thinking of each other more and more--falling in love. So anything that explores and expands on that dynamic would also be amazing.
Or I'm not against some imagined happy future for them if you want to hand wave (or if you're even brave enough to take a shot at) how they get out of their cliff hanger and live happily ever after.

Polar Explorer RPF
Characters: Edward Leicester Atkinson, Harry Pennell (Polar Explorer RPF)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I am among the fan girls who read the "From Antarctica with Love" article and became deeply invested in the Atkinson/Pennell love story. I would love anything with the two of them getting to spend some time together away from their duties. I'd also love to see a bit more from Atkinson's pov about Pennell as it feels like we have more of the reverse in Pennell's diaries. I'm okay with the story being realistic about the time period that they were in and the incredibly challenging and harrowing events that they lived through. Some melancholy is okay, but would love for there to be more happiness than sadness.

Slow Horses (TV)
Characters: River Cartwright (Slow Horses TV), Catherine Standish (Slow Horses TV), Jackson Lamb (Slow Horses 2022)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

River is my favorite. He is so dumb and means so well, and yet he is so damn bad at being a spy. I love him fucking up in lovable ways that come from his good intentions. I love all his abandonment issues and his relationship with his granddad, and yeah, I just love River.
Jackson I love for the total opposite reasons. I love that he appears bumbling and is secretly incredibly competent. I love how loyal he is, and I love how much he despises River's Granddad and yet can't quite force himself to despise River as much as he wants to.
Standish, I love the way she interacts with all of them and keeps the team together. Her perpetual exasperation/affection, and the way she’s constantly showing, that yeah, in fact, she’s an agent too, actually, so don’t underestimate her. Where River often tries to be compassionate but trips over his own self-absorption, Standish seems to have more of an innate capacity for empathy and insight into people that the others don’t always recognize as the incredible skill/asset that it is.
So yeah, that's what I love about these characters, and I would happily take any story where they and any other members of their band you care to throw in there are interacting in ways that highlight these aspects
I do not ship anyone on the show and would rather not see any of them having interactions that feature romantic feelings or sex. At least not with each other. If you're inspired to give one of them an oc romantic interest, go for it.

Dix pour cent | Call My Agent! (TV)
Characters: Andréa Martel, Elise Formain, Camille Valentini, Gabriel Sarda
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This is a pretty simple one! I couldnt believe the finale ended with Elise winning. Can you write me a fix it where Andrea, or some combo of folks from ASK band together to take her down and save the agency?

A Place of Greater Safety - Hilary Mantel
Characters: Lucile Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety), Maximilien Robespierre (A Place of Greater Safety), Camille Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety), Georges Jacques Danton (A Place of Greater Safety)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

A few different options here.
PG- I'm sorry the book ends before Robespierre gets really power mad and then gets overthrown and killed. Can you write me a snap shot from that period of history? Is he thinking about his friends at the end?
R- I'm always a sucker for a really hot sex scene between Camile, Georges and Max (all 3, or some combo, as long as Camile is there.) This is a rare case where I think the source material is dark enough, that I think something kinky and/or not 100% consensual could work very well, but write what you feel excited by

My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Beatrice and Benedick are truly two of my all time favorite characters. They mention in the play that they have met before. What exactly happened there? can you give me that meeting

Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard
Characters: Peregrine Dart (Nine Worlds), Jemis Greenwing (Nine Worlds), Jullanar of the Sea | Mrs. Etaris (Nine Worlds), Violet (Nine Worlds Series)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Please include Peregrine Dart and Jemis Greenwing no matter what else you do. Violet and Mrs. Etaris can be considered optional. Members of Jemis' inner circle, like his father or Hal, are more than welcome too, as is the Lady and other mystical personages.
Jemis and Mr. Dart consider New Year's Resolutions, whether formally or just as the ideas occur to them. There should be snow, local magic, good food, coziness, and possibly thoughts about the mission ahead.
See letter for more details and ideas.
Do not want (DNW):
Cutesy or coy romantic stuff; extensive use of epithets or epithets that don't match the character POV; Ikea Erotica (tab A in slot B sex); bestiality; mpreg, rape, forced sex (including sex pollen and fuck-or-die), or hatesex; humiliation or betrayal (without a damn good plot reason) of a character by a friend or lover; gender-bending; A/B/O etc.

The Rising World Series - Martha Wells
Characters: Kaiisteron (The Rising World Series), Ziede Daiyahah, Dahin Stargard, Tahren Stargard
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

In Queen Demon, we discover that Kai raised Dahin to young adulthood, in Avagantrum. A look back as to how this worked (or didn't!). Other canon characters, such as Ziede's daughter Tanis, are welcome (even up to Bashasa-level). It would be nice if a solstice festival (or similar) were involved, with worldbuilding, if you like.

Tuyo Series- Rachel Neumeier
Characters: Ryo inGara, Marag inGara, Etta inGara, Garoyo inGara
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

A pre-canon snow adventure for Marag's children, and she comes to get them: either just meeting them or rescuing them, depending on how you construe "adventure." What the children encounter and what happens is up to you. POV Ryo is welcome, and may switch to Marag as needed. Worldbuilding, sled dogs or ponies, and food are big pluses.

World of the Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold
Characters: Penric kin Jurald (World of Five Gods), Desdemona (World of Five Gods), Nikys Khatai (World of Five Gods), the Bastard (World of Five Gods)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Pen brings his family to visit his parents in the cantons. Snow, chaos, a little mystery, and a happy, cozy ending featuring hot drinks and toasted snacks would be lovely, as would Great Beasts or shamans or a random Saint or two. You don't have to include the Bastard, but I'm fond of Him.

The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
Characters: Thara Celehar, Nebeno Pel-Thenhior, Anora Chanavar, Iäna Pel-Thenhior
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

Snowed-in Amalo. There should be a little mystery, a lot of being cozy indoors from the snow, tasty Barizheise foods, and details of how Amalo operates when snowed in (some of this is canon in Tomb of Dragons). Maybe Thara rescues Iäna for once (and hurt-comfort ensues)! How Winternight is celebrated, particularly by these friends. You don't have to include Anora, but I am very fond of him. Other friends are welcome: Tomasaran, for example.
See letter for more details and ideas.
Do not want (DNW):
Special for this fandom: Hanu Olgarezh never existed.
Cutesy or coy romantic stuff; extensive use of epithets or epithets that don't match the character POV; Ikea Erotica (tab A in slot B sex); bestiality; mpreg, rape, forced sex (including sex pollen and fuck-or-die), or hatesex; humiliation or betrayal (without a damn good plot reason) of a character by a friend or lover; gender-bending; A/B/O etc.

Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh
Characters: Meg Kady, Ben Pollard, Sal Aboujib, Paul Dekker (Alliance-Union)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Let's give Norway's finest a mystery or crisis to solve/resolve, followed by New Year's planning or celebration. Or maybe Norway can't make it to Pell in time for New Year's shopping, and people have to make or find presents on the ship in deep space. The weirdness of celebration foods aboard ship could be a feature, or wordbuilding in terms of what would be available for gifts. I love all the Norway crew and officers, so co-starring or walk-ons from Graff, Di Janz, Signy, Talley, Uthup, etc. are welcome. Also whether the Hellburner vets are a foursome or two couples or whatever is your choice, as long as no one gets left out.

Book review: Solo Dance

rocky41_7: (Default)
[personal profile] rocky41_7 posting in [community profile] fffriday

Last night I wrapped up Solo Dance by Kotomi Li, translated from Japanese by Arthur Morris. This short book is about a young gay Taiwanese woman who struggles with both internal and external homophobia, and eventually moves to Japan looking for understanding.

Queer stories from other countries are always interesting to me and it’s a good reminder that progress has not been even all over the world. Much of the book is pretty depressing, because the protagonist struggled with fitting in even before she realized she was gay, and she has some real struggles. She is battling severe depression for much of the book and at several points, suicidality.

The book is touching in that the protagonist’s struggles feel real and she’s someone who is so close to having positive experience that could change her life for the better, but her luck keeps dropping on the other side each time.

I don’t want to spoil too much about the end, but while I was grateful for the overall tone of the it, it is contrived and not very believable. But I did enjoy the protagonist’s travels leading up to that point. It’s not at all subtle, and it packs a lot more plot into the final handful of chapters than the rest of the book, but it was still sweet to see the protagonist’s perspective shift a little through her engagements with other people.

I’m not sure if it’s the translation or the original prose, but the language is stilted and very emotionally distant. The reader is kept at arm’s length from the protagonist virtually the whole novel, and while we’re often told she’s feeling these intense feelings, I never felt it. It was like reading a clinical report of her feelings, which was disappointing.

This is Li’s first novel, and it reads that way. There’s a lot of heart in it, and I appreciate it for that, but it lacks a lot in technical skill. I would be interested to see more of Li’s future work, when she’s had more time to polish her ability, but I don’t regret taking the time with this one.

CLAIMED - PH #219: The Imager Portfolio - L.E. Modesitt Jr., 恨君不似江楼月 | Killer and Healer (TV), Sins of the Cities Series - K. J. Charles, All of Us Murderers - K.J. Charles
Request 1 by april_rainer (tom_bedlam)
The Imager Portfolio - L.E. Modesitt Jr.
Characters: Alastar D'Image, Alyna D'Image, Dichartyn (Imager Portfolio)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Gifts are welcome!
I love that this series focuses on older characters! I adore Alastar and Alyna's romance and would love to see more of that than what fit in the books, especially from Alyna's point of view. What did she think when Alastar first came to Imageisle? What did she fall in love with? Does she talk to her friends about him?
For individual characters:
- I'd love to see Alastar's backstory more explored -- his experience coming to Westisle or learning to interact with wealthier people or some time when the wide class divide between him and Alyna cause stress to their relationship.
- For Alyna, I also want backstory and her experience adjusting to the Collegium after coming from a High Holding and her evolving relationship with her family, including her niece.
- For Dichartyn, I also would be thrilled to have backstory -- how did he end up where he did with the opinions he did? What are his relationships with Poincaryt and Dyana like and how did they develop? How did he meet his wife? Also, his POV on Rhenn at any point in those books.
Do Not Want: torture, downer endings, mpreg, omegaverse, infidelity (consensual poly is fine)

恨君不似江楼月 | Killer and Healer (TV)
Characters: Any
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Gifts are welcome!
While the characters available are Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou who I love, I also really enjoy the other characters and some of my prompts don't focus entirely on them; feel free to pick and choose what you would like. Some fic that would spark joy:
- Chen Yuzhi/Jiang Yuelou starting a relationship (first kiss, first time, etc) wherever you think that happens in the story
- something focusing on Chen Yuzhi and what happened in his backstory that lead him to not seem to care much about his own life, only the help he can bring to others
- Zhan Junbai having feelings about Bai Jinbo as a father figure to Jiang Yuelou and how different that pseudofamilial relationship is from what he experienced with his uncle
- Chen Yuzhi catalogues Jiang Yuelou’s scars (Jiang Yuelou seems like a person who has many scars)
- modern AU (especially one where nobody dies!)
Do Not Want: detailed descriptions of torture (hurt/comfort with emphasis on the comfort is fine), downer endings (canon has one so either fic set before that or fixit AUs if you don't mind), mpreg, omegaverse, infidelity (consensual poly is fine)

Sins of the Cities Series - K. J. Charles
Characters: Ganendra (Sins of the Cities)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Gifts are welcome!
Anything that sparks joy about this amazing lawyer who never actually appears in person. The dailiances he has with other friends at the Jack and Knave, his friendship with Vikram Pandey (if you want to cross over with Unfit to Print), his revolutionary adventures back in India, his backstory either in India or at Oxford, the first time he met Clem? Any and all would be good.

All of Us Murderers - K.J. Charles
Characters: Gideon Grey (All of Us Murderers)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Gifts are welcome!
I love Gideon so very much. I would love to see any part of this book from his point of view, or explore his relationship with his sister/brother-in-law. Do they know he's gay? Do they know about Zeb? How did coming out go? I'm fascinated by what his first encounter with Zeb must have been like from his point of view or what Zeb saw in him then. What was their first time like? How did it even happen/how did they overcome Gideon's established lifetime of repression? Or post-canon Gideon and Zeb exploring their relationship with better communication established. Does Gideon end up with PTSD from the horrible house party? Does Zeb? How do they negotiate the persistent challenges of living together (take 2) and working together (also take 2, admittedly in a less toxic way)? How does their relationship survive the period where Gideon, who seems like someone who puts a lot of his self-worth on being The Compentent One Who Helps, is forced to depend on Zeb for financial/practical support?
Do Not Want: torture, downer endings, mpreg, omegaverse, infidelity (consensual poly is fine)

Yuletide works are scheduled to go live a little under five days from now, at 9pm UTC 24 December (if all goes well and there are no further pinch hits needed).

COUNTDOWN TO REVEALS

Treats

Treats in both the Madness and Main Yuletide collections are enthusiastically welcomed. You can post a treat for someone in the main collection up until 9pm UTC 24 December, and in the Madness collection up until 9pm UTC 25 December. There's more information about posting treats here. If you're hunting for inspiration, see also the mini-challenges tag at [community profile] yuletide, and of course, please consider treats for pinch hitters.

Pinch hits

We’re still looking for intrepid writers to take on post-deadline pinch hits. As of this post, we need writers for:

PH #198: even if TEMPEST 宵闇にかく語りき魔女 (Visual Novel), Flowers Series (Visual Novels), Lkyt. (Visual Novel)

As well as offers from writers, we're keen to hear (yuletideadmin@gmail.com) from anyone with tips on how to consume or review details of these canons!

Please look at our outstanding pinch hit details, and help if you can!

Beta requests

Can you help out a fellow writer by beta-reading their work? Please check the hippo-want-ads at the Discord server, or email mods if you can help with one of the following requests and we’ll get you in touch.
As of this post, beta readers are needed for the following requests (click/expand to view):
1.2K T-rated Mayor of Kingstown
15k+ E-rated Damien/Gerald Coldfire Trilogy
7k Batman Wayne Family Adventures
Racepicker and sensitivity reader for a 10k fic featuring a young Black English girl

The Stakeout from Inside No. 9
Daria (Cartoon)



Meanwhile, please check your work

  • Please check that you uploaded the right draft. Mistakes can happen to anyone, but checking that everything looks right is a crucial part of posting. Make sure your work has a title and that the summary doesn't say "tbd". Please check that all the text is there and you didn't post the version with [name?] and [thing goes here] notes. Any uploaded version must be a complete story that is readable as it is, even if you're still making edits between now and reveals. Please don't risk disappointing your recipient or requiring mods to seek a back-up pinch hit.

  • Please check that all required characters feature in the work. This is likely to mean all the characters your recipient tagged, not just the ones they wrote prompts for. Or, if they selected Any, a character from the tag set. They may have selected additional tags that give further guidance about which characters to include - please check that too. If your recipient selected Worldbuilding and you're not sure there's enough of it, get a second opinion - a friend, a beta. If there is any doubt about whether your story contains all the characters it needs to contain, please check with mods. Prompts alone are not automatically permission to leave characters out. The use of additional tags may still leave some grey areas.

  • Please review your author's notes. Yuletide stories are anonymous for one week - do not give your name or link to your personal sites or socials in your author's note. Do not promise expanded, future, or replacement gifts - your work needs to stand alone. And do not apologise for your work in your author's note, or talk about what a struggle it was to write. People often feel doubt as well as excitement when giving someone a story, but don't give your recipient your doubts as part of their gift. In your author's note, please follow the principle that if you cannot say something positive, don't say anything at all.

  • Please check your recipient's Do-Not-Wants. Yes, again.

  • Please check your story in general! You don't have to get it beta read, but please check spelling and grammar. Please make sure that it’s not a wall of text with no spacing between paragraphs - and, conversely, that there aren’t too many blank lines between paragraphs.


(And, having fully prepared for reveals - we hope that you are excited for them! We are!)

Miscellaneous
  • If you're unlikely to be able to comment until the end of the anon period or later, consider letting your author know at the AFK post.
  • You can find beta volunteers at this post or at the Discord server.

Horses at night

igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
[personal profile] igenlode posting in [community profile] little_details
If my characters have made camp in a wood for the night while travelling on horseback, what will the horses be doing?

I was sort of picturing them standing dozing together under a tree somewhere nearby -- possibly tied, possibly hobbled, possibly just being a herd together -- but poking around on the Internet suggests that if not shut up in a stable horses are actually quite active by night. (Which messes with the story, as quite apart from anything else nobody is going to be able to hear anything while keeping watch if the horses are busy foraging around!)

Book Review: Audition by Ryu Murakami

Read Because: long story ); ebook borrowed from Multnomah County Library
Review: A middle-aged Japanese man stages a search for a breakthrough actress as a pretense for interviewing prospective brides, and gets more than he bargained for. The thing about asking the question, does this mildly icky person deserve this oversized punishment, is that means inhabiting mildly icky in depth to first justify and then dismiss the inclination towards punishment. That makes for a lot of milquetoast Japanese misogyny and slow foreshadowing, capped by high-stakes and surreal revenge porn from the victim's PoV. Murakami is better when he's weirder, and when anxieties about Japanese society are framework rather than the central subject. But the constrained length, antagonist characterization, and the delightful dark humor of the revenge (which makes for pretty funny foreshadowing) has a salvaging effect, pulling this tauter and rendering it more readable.

Rating: 1 of 5
Page Count: 400
Total Page Count: 552,900
Text Number: 2072
Read Because: Tumblr made me do it, ebook borrowed from Multnomah County Library
Review: A memoir from the Eat, Pray, Love lady, detailing her romantic relationship with Rayya Elias during the course of Elias's terminal illness, and a subsequent recovery from love and sex addiction. I came in search of a hot mess; this sure is a hot mess, but not of the unputdownable variety. Gilbert is insufferable, a kind of relaxed and talky that reads as glib and unedited rather than confessional, interspersed with the most clumsy, naïve poetry I've ever pushed through.

So, she's annoying. But is she bad? Is this an authentic memoir? Does it have value? I'm not particularly interested in the simplifying effect of culpability, and hinging condemnation on the homicidal ideation is ridiculous. But this is a memoir that centers another person, and Gilbert is willing to overshare when it concerns Elias, but obtrusively circumspect when it comes to equally salient figures/events. Elias has living relatives, and so the claim towards respecting the privacy of third parties doesn't hold water; rather, the selective telling feels incomplete and dishonest. And I'll admit a personal aversion to AA/twelve-step program frameworks, but this selective transparency combined with the surrender of the self to a higher power and the offensively clumsy justifications of suffering ("What if everything (and everyone) that we label as 'difficult' or 'an obstacle' or even 'dysfunctional' is in fact a deliberately designed construct meant to awaken us to our true natures[...]?") cumulatively feels shallow and self-serving. Gilbert's self-criticisms fail to negate this fundamental flaw. No, this isn't a memoir of value, even if the value is hate-reading.

claimed - PH #184: Aveyond (Video Games), Quasimorph (Video Game), Geneforge
Request 1 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Aveyond (Video Games)
Characters: Te'ijal Ravenfoot
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I have a headcanon that Te'ijal Ravenfoot is a psychopath. I would love a story that explored this concept further, delving into how Te'ijal's psychopathy would affect/recontextualize both her interactions with her colleagues and her actions throughout the Aveyond games. Furthermore, content that supplements those already in the Aveyond games, such as extra conversations or scenes, would also be welcome.
DNW: Unrequested kinks, mundane/setting change AUs, Te'ijal being "cured" of her psychopathy (i.e. being made neurotypical), Te’ijal character bashing*, neurodivergence being used to excuse bad behavior**.
*Given the stigma surrounding psychopathy, I understand if there is any confusion over this specific DNW. Let me make this clear: psychopaths are still people; having little or no empathy or emotional intelligence does not make one categorically evil or dangerous. For the purposes of this prompt, Te’ijal should be a person with both rights and accountability.
**Using neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior sounds something like this: “She can’t take responsibility for her actions because she can’t control herself/she doesn’t know what she’s doing/her brain isn’t wired correctly/etc.”
On a related note, I am fine with the inclusion of sanist language, bigotry, and/or violence as long as it is not presented as ethically/morally correct by the story itself. Keep in mind that hostility towards a neurodivergent offender in retaliation to the offender perpetrating antisocial behavior, such as inflicting harm upon or violating the rights of others, is not necessarily sanism.
On another related note, I am also fine with Te'ijal receiving treatment for her psychopathy as long as it does not fall into the trope of curing neurodivergence.
Disclaimer: Psychopathy is not a condition that one can be clinically diagnosed with. The proper diagnostic term for people exhibiting behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is antisocial personality disorder. However, the term "psychopathy" is still useful as a descriptor for a distinct pattern of behavior within the spectrum of antisocial personality disorder.
P.S.: Below are some helpful resources if you need to do research on psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. Of course, feel free to use other sources for further research.

P.P.S.: If you are unfamiliar with the concept of sanism, several definitions with sources are provided below. Like before, feel free to consult additional resources.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanism): “Sanism, saneism, mentalism, or psychophobia refers to the systemic discrimination against or oppression of individuals perceived to have a mental disorder or cognitive impairment.”
From The Ability Toolbox (https://theabilitytoolbox.com/sanism-mental-illness/): “Sanism is prejudice against people with mental illness. Sanism can take the form of harassment, bullying, violence, and discrimination in healthcare, employment, housing, and other aspects of daily life.”
From Simmons University Library (https://simmons.libguides.com/anti-oppression/anti-sanism): “Sanism often stems from the "pathology paradigm [that] ultimately boils down to just two fundamental assumptions:
1. There is one 'right,' 'normal,' or 'healthy' way for human brains and human minds to be configured and to function (or one relatively narrow 'normal' range into which the configuration and functioning of human brains and minds ought to fall).
2. If your neurological configuration and functioning (and, as a result, your ways of thinking and behaving) diverge substantially from the dominant standard of 'normal,' then there is Something Wrong With You." (from Nick Walker)”

Quasimorph (Video Game)
Characters: Francis Reid-Daly, John Hawkwood
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

Quasimorph has become my greatest special interest over the past couple of years. One of the most fascinating things about it is the cyberpunk, science-fantasy dystopia portrayed in that game. I'd love a story that explores not just the lives of those who live in the anarcho-capitalist paradigm in Quasimorph. The scope of the available characters in this request covers the most violent, destructive, and brutal element of Quasimorph's society: the private military sector, as exemplified by both the soldier Francis Reid-Daly, and the proprietor John Hawkwood. My interests for a story in this fandom include: character studies, worldbuilding, action scenes, and violence (including blood and gore). Darkfics are welcome for this request.

Request 3 by DreckDetritusAndDross
Geneforge
Characters: Litalia (Geneforge)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I would love a story detailing how Litalia's tumultuous life and fight against the Shapers has affected her, both physically and mentally, as I feel that there's a lot of potential for a compelling narrative that is sadly underexplored, in my opinion, in the Geneforge saga.

Request 1 by FakeCirilla9
Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Przyłbice i kaptury – Kazimierz Korkozowicz)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
The first chapter of this book is such a peanut gallery of all the adversaries of the story. This is my favourite characterisation of Ulryk in the literature so far. He's described in an incredibly sexy way, too, with eyes darkening in anger or sparkling in joy. During the introductory conversation, his mood switches from ire to amusement with the speed of a falling blade, and he manages to offend his late brother in front of a stranger.
And then there's Kuno! Obviously used to his master's volatile nature and making snarky remarks about it. Isn't that an interesting relationship? Why is the grand commander allowed to laugh at Ulryk's expense? How close are those two? Is there friendship or something more between them? Or maybe they're just two like-minded baddies united by common politics?
DNWs:
Animal death, especially no dead horses in the Battle of Grunwald, please. Don't hurt any dogs too.
(I'm fine with the characters eating meat or hunting for food, but if it's for sport, let them rather hunt pagans. Murder as many human characters as you wish. MCD is allowed by all means.)

Ulrich has a golden armour here! How cool is that? I'd be satisfied to receive a short piece with an armour kink.
Or, if you're thinking of something with a more ambitious plot, feel free to use Rotgier as well. Does Ulrich confront him about the kidnapped girl after the heroes of the story complain about it to the grand master of the Order? Or is he too busy seizing power or mourning his brother's death or both? If he acknowledges his underling’s fault, is he angry at him or does he brush the whole affair off, maybe even providing some plausible excuses to help to sweep it under the rug?
Or, a darker take: I've heard that the punishment for a Teutonic knight who broke the chastity vows was flogging administered by the grand master himself. I'd adore to see such a scene unfolding between Ulrich and Rotgier.

Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski
Characters: Ulryk von Jungingen (Piraci północy – Dariusz Domagalski)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Optional details:
This is an easy-to-read book, in which the characters have emotional depth as thick as a sheet of printing paper. Ulryk is evil here because the plot demands a punching bag for the main hero. But I love that for the main adversary of the story, of all the possible Teutonic knights, the author chose Ulryk. The idea that Ulryk von Jungingen and Klaus Störtebeker met in person is glorious. They also got an incredibly cool hot sword-fighting scene in the book. Maybe the fic could deal with the aftermath of that encounter?

Optional details:
I know it was erected to honour king Jagiełło, but I'm not a big fan of him, and he's so distant on his high horse there. Whereas Ulrich is literally within one's hand reach (as you can see by his statue's fingers polished to gold by countless tourists). And isn't the sprawled pose marvellous? It's oddly satisfying on a primal level to see him thrown there at Vytautas’ feet, like one more war trophy from the battlefield.

It's fun to see comments or reaction videos from people in the medical field talking about how accurate the sketches are. I'd be interested in reading about the different medical specialties interacting with each other and how they have unique perspectives that influence how they see their jobs and the human body. It could also be fun to read something from the perspective of a patient who is navigating the medical system and meeting the different providers.

I appreciate how Elisabeth Wheatley is an avid romance reader and writer who doesn't mind making fun of the more ridiculous romance tropes, so that the series comes off as self-aware without being mean. It's fun to see how the genres have different perspectives on issues related to romance but they also find common ground a lot of the time. I also enjoy how they explore the fantasy that it would be easier to date a vampire or fae lord than it is to deal with modern dating culture. I'd be interested in seeing new genres interacting with the main four (sci-fi romance? queer romance genres?) or hearing them discuss different topics.

This Brutal moon

3/5. Third book in this scifi trilogy, really do not start here.

Damn, it didn’t land it. It didn’t terribly fumble it either, but.

Let’s back up. I really liked the first book in this trilogy, which you should absolutely go into unspoiled because the ride is worth it. But she had to do different modes with the next books for plot and structure and not repeating herself reasons. Unfortunately, I was glad to see these people again, but I think this whole series lost momentum and vitality. And the deeper this series got into the story of a remnant population barely clinging on after a genocide several decades ago, well. She says they aren’t supposed to be space Jews, but, like, girl. These books are doing that thing where they valorize an oppressed population and an oppressed culture in a way that is both satisfying and also uncomfortable, if you get me. Satisfying in the way a reductive viewpoint is satisfying. Uncomfortable in the way a reductive viewpoint is uncomfortable.

Also, I am not at all qualified to opine on this, but I’ve caught the edges of conversations from people who think she has valorized her space Jews right over the border into weird antisemitic trope land, which did jump out at me when spoilers for the end of the first book ). Anyway, do with that what you will.

Look, I’m complaining about this a lot, but I genuinely think the first book is doing cool stuff, and I genuinely think the whole series is thinking about identity and refugees and cultural violence and retribution and repair. All chewy, important stuff. Also, the way women and nonbinary people are allowed to be intense and obsessed with each other and over-the-top in the first book is the good shit. I’m glad I read it, even though the last book had serious POV bloat (way too many) and didn’t land with the force I wanted it to.

Content notes: Torture, violence, discussions of genocide, child loss.

Since I'm vaguely tracking things we've been making: a few days ago we made Smitten Kitchen's gingerbread apple upside-down cake. It's tasty, although I didn't like it nearly as much as the SK Mom's Apple Cake that we made not that long ago. ([personal profile] scruloose likes it more than I do, for the record.) Now I mostly just want to make an actual gingerbread. ^^;

(My brain keeps starting to compose a post or posts about my currently-annoyingly-complication feelings about holiday baked goods etc., between our intensely-covid-cautious life and my still-newish need to stay aware of my blood glucose, but will I actually manage to write about it? Who knows. It's exhausting.)

I started my first day of vacation waking ahead of my alarm from a weird, teeth-clenchingly stressful dream, possibly one of a sequence, and it takes me a while to shake off dreams like that. >.< I've gotten a couple of household things done/underway, though, and am sitting down to do some manga work once I've posted this.

We still haven't decorated Bucky; he comes with lights, which are the most important part of a Christmas tree, especially without the smell of a real tree, and at least one year we bought our tree and put lights on it and never did anything more, and that was fine. I guess it's possible this'll be another such year. (Although we're due for strong winds and heavy rain tonight and into tomorrow, and if we lose power, I guess that's something we could do tomorrow afternoon.)

But we got most of our other fragments of decor up last night, and this morning I put out my Nativity set for the first time in a few years. It's wooden, but a couple of the pieces have taken damage over the years nonetheless (before my time, or when I was young enough that I don't remember what happened), and having it out around the cats has made me nervous since my mother gave it to me* several years ago. But a few months ago I bought a piece of display wall shelving for my office (and my office mostly stays shut when I'm not in it for long), and the set fits in it fairly well, so now it's there and I've got my fingers crossed.

(Also, this year I bought an old-fashioned ceramic tree from a local artist, and it's on a speaker under the wall display, so realistically, if a cat gets up on my desk where they shouldn't be, I'll know about it from the tree going down. [Which I really hope it doesn't, because it's breakable and the lights aren't actually attached, so that's all kinds of cat hazard in a package. And thus, it's in my office; if the cats were actually prone to getting on my desk and messing with things, I wouldn't have bought the tree at all, but even Sinha is really pretty good about it.])

*I think I mentioned at the time that this is the Nativity set of my childhood, carved of olive wood. My mother's parents once--in the '50s, I think? When she was a kid--were in Jerusalem over Christmastime, and brought it home. Mum deciding to pass it on to me is genuinely one of the best gifts she's ever given me.

Of the many pre-Christmas stressful things this year, an unexpected one is [community profile] ficinabox. And I didn't even participate this year! But I usually try to read and comment widely before creator reveals and this year the timing was not great for me.

I did find many fanworks to enjoy and loved many of them, and here are some of my favorites. Several of them can be enjoyed fandom-blind.

This Ao3 Author's Curse Has Got Hands by [archiveofourown.org profile] antimony_medusa
Dream SMP, 5.6k, Phil & Techno, urban fantasy AU, A/N format
Summary: Fanfic author Technoblade has been pre-writing and is excited to start posting his whumptober longfic, his trusty beta Philza at his side. Unfortunately for his posting schedule, the Ao3 author's curse hits him hard, fast, and with an intensity never before seen. Really it's starting to seem like he's cursed.
Does this mean that he gives up posting his fic?
Nah nah nah nah nah he's got this handled. Don't even worry about it. Chapters will be posted come hell, high water, hospital visit, house invasions, eviction, mob action, emergency road trip, or kidnapping. Technoblade never dies, and he never misses an update.
Why I love it: A story told entirely in author's notes: the format works fantastic, the character voice is impeccable, and most importantly it's hilarious.
Canon knowledge required: Definitely not (tested on my gf.)
