having more than one original character with the same name

I think it needs to be said more that fic writers are not there to cater to a particular reader’s interests, and they shouldn’t be expected to. If you find a fic you enjoy, it’s because in that moment your interests overlap with the writer’s, not because they specifically created it for you, and it’s a healthy boundary to keep. Readers shouldn’t get insulted if the writer posts a fic that doesn’t align with their interests or fandoms; it’s not meant as a personal slight or anything, it’s just the writer writing for themselves, the way they’ve been doing all along. 

Childermass' adventures on grindr

Attention, fans of Ed Hogg — the Royal Shakespeare Company has just posted some stunning photos of their current production of Othello on their site, and there’s this lovely pic of Ed as Cassio with Madeleine Hyland as Bianca. Fun fact: when he and I chatted afterwards, Ed told me that he thinks when the play ends and Cassio’s governor of Cyprus, he and Bianca get together. Love that take; it’s so refreshingly optimistic.
