Other Places You Can Find Me

Dreamwidth: My personal journal is hokuton-punch!  Feel free to subscribe, though I may not subscribe back or grant access unless I already know you or if you comment to say hi.  I don’t update very frequently at the moment, but that may change (well, I hope it’ll change, anyway).  Fannish stuff will pretty much always be unlocked; RL stuff (unless it’s very vague/brief) will usually be locked.

I also have a fic journal, brief-transit; it’s a little out of date because ficlets can be a bit annoying to update there and that’s most of what I’ve been finishing lately, but longer/more serious fic is all there!  There are some guidelines about following it that are laid out in detail in the first post, but it basically boils down to 1) all the fic (and very old fanart) is unlocked, so you can just subscribe if that’s all you’re interested in; 2) original stories (and very old art) are locked, so if you want to see any of that, please comment and ask for access; 3) this journal’s just for posting stuff, so it DOES NOT subscribe back.

AO3: On AO3 I am Hokuto!  Currently all stories are Archive-locked, which means that you need an AO3 account to see them, and I am planning to keep them that way for the foreseeable future.  If you don’t have an account and would like one, please message me here before the queue runs out or get in touch with me on Dreamwidth, and I can hook you up with an invite.

FF.net:  My FF.net account is ShirouHokuto; I haven’t uploaded many stories there lately because it’s a hassle, porn is banned, and funky formatting like I like to use with Marathon fic doesn’t work, but there’s plenty of my older fic there and at least it has a PM system, so definitely feel free to message me there if that’s what you’re comfortable with.

the spartan-iv program is only 5 years old and the spartan-ii program went public 6 years before that. sarah palmer is one of, if not the oldest S-IV at 31 years old, which means that not only is every single S-IV a war baby, but in all likelihood not a single one of them was old enough to drink legally when humanity started hearing stories of the IIs.

the IVs grew up living under fear and despair, and then just before they reached adulthood they learned that there were Heroes™ who could do things no other humans could do, allowing them to fight the covenant and win. they dreamed of moving like spartans because every single one of them has someone in mind that they would have been able to save if they could, whether it’s someone from a glassed planet or just the endless stream of dead squadmates from the war.

to the IVs, enhanced movement is an acute reminder that the world is different and they have the ability to keep that same kind of loss from happening again. if we use cars as an analogy for the augmentations and mjolnir, then the IVs learned to drive in their late 20s. it’s still new and exciting.

Oh no, they’re turning on actually published YA novels.

(above submitted by anon)

You heard it here first folks, from now on, there can never be YA novels about teenagers experiencing sexuality. Since pretty much all published authors are adults, this is illegal now. Only teenagers can write stories about teenagers having sex. How dare adults write about their experiences with discovering their sexuality when they were teens, it’s so gross

Reading the above is sort of fascinating, in a dark way. Because look at how OP twists themselves into a pretzel to provide their ass-pulled, lurid and salacious interpretation of why an adult YA author would write about teenage sexuality. I’ve noticed this thing again and again on here – a small army of teenagers who seem mentally stuck in a paranoiac view of reality, where seemingly everyone is out to get them, where every adult who interacts with them is conceptualized as a Potential Predator and where child-molesters lurk behind every corner and in every shadow. That’s why explanations that most adults who write about teen sexuality are basing it on their own memories and recollections, self-inserting into their own pasts, fall on deaf ears – because it runs counter to the paranoid filter-bubble, where the only reason an adult would write about teen sexuality is an attraction to teens. You can point out that your reaction to you or other adults going after teens is basically

and it’d still fall on deaf ears – because, again, it contradicts the filter-bubble and mustn’t be permitted to break through it.
