I've been writing fanfiction since the '90s. While I do post in-progress snippets of fanfiction I am writing here (you can check the "my writing" tag for that) the main place to read my written work is on AO3.
In case of shenanigans here is the address: https://archiveofourown.org/users/SofiaDragon/works
I use my bookmarks as a collection of stories I have read and enjoyed enough not to lose. I also use the Recommended Stories feature, so if you want to see a list of fantastic stories, you can utilize the filter or just click here.
I reblog a lot of things that catch my attention, but mostly fandom stuff and current events. There are a lot of different fandoms I am interested in, and sometimes I'll go back to the stories that first got me interested in writing. From ACD's Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek to the latest MCU movie and Spy X Family or even Eminence in Shadow - I like a wide range of story types so long as the characters are well crafted. Give me someone who seems so real they can walk right off the page or a setting I can sink into, and I'm happy. If you like that sort of thing, pull up a chair and stay a while.
I do not blog about charity for spiritual reasons. That I do not reblog posts or answer asks about charity means nothing about what I do or do not support offline.
More personal stuff about who I am under the cut!
Autistic spectrum cis female demi-aromantic. US American, social-democrat, has been overseas but not as much as I'd like. Can vaguely understand tourist Japanese and Spanish with context to help, but only fluent in English.
I put a lot of worldbuilding in my writing with a dash of humor and dramatic irony. In IRL conversation I'm sarcastic and enjoy ethical and political debates - and I have the privilege of coming from a family where we don't take those disagreements personally and will happily "devil's advocate" a position just to prolong the discussion if the conversation is productive in finding the flaws in the political ideas we support. Especially on the internet, hot intellectual debate of serious issues without catching feelings is a rare commodity.
I studied world religion, psychology, and creative writing as an Early Childhood Education major for my first round in college. Then I had to go make money due to a family calamity, so I swapped to Small Business Management and learned about economics, politics, teaching adults, and bookkeeping. Eventually, I took a job at a small chocolate shop and learned how to make gourmet chocolates, because the high stress and long hours of my management job was actually killing me due to chronic medical issues.
I believe that most of the fan criticisms of series and movies come from a place of love, since we wouldn't care so much if we weren't invested. You will see posts tagged "critical" or "criticism" related to fandoms that I adore. That thing I said about intellectual debates? It absolutely applies here.
I also tag political posts. If you don't want to see commentary on real life drama when browsing please filter your tumblr - I highly recommend a side blog with "#politics" blocked if you don't like seeing that stuff when you are in fun fandom mode generally. Curate your experience.
I've had some mental health struggles related to my poor physical health (chronic illness sucks) and fertility problems stemming from a hormone imbalance caused by working in an office where my boss used testosterone cream irresponsibly, don't try me on gender dysphoria it isn't a trigger it's waving a flag in front a bull. I will give you the horns. I'm very strong on trans/genderqueer issues partly because I have experienced the distress of my body doing masculine things like growing a full beard against my will and partly because I have a cousin more than 20 years older than me who transitioned when I was a kid and is one of the most actualized and happy people I've ever known.
Nobody should be forced to use their body or perform their life in a certain way for the benefit of other people contrary to their nature or will. This also includes medical privacy and legalizing [while responsibly regulating] most drugs. You will see this theme in some of my stories and it colors all of them in the sense that my idea of what is morally correct includes that kind of freedom.

I always thought Reddit was a place where people could share things they created.A few days ago I posted one of my original paintings. People loved it. We had wonderful conversations about art, emotions, and how everyone saw something different in the same sunset.
About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”
I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.
Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.
What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.
The funny part?
I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.
Anyway…
Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨

Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like
Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.
The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.
In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.
Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.
I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.
I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'
I (as an adult) once informed my grandmother that the first line of Charlotte's Web was "Where's Papa going with that axe?" and she freaked out discovering that this very much children's book involves...axes and killing animals sometimes because it takes place on a farm.

actually the blizzard thing reminded me of the really stupid discourse we had on this site a while back about what does and doesn’t constitute a burger, and i think we should bring that energy to the project hail mary fandom. question: are grace’s meburgers technically Burgers given that i’m fairly sure they don’t have a bun, they’re just a cloned meat patty, which he insists on calling burgers anyway because that’s how americans self-soothe in stressful situations. let’s discuss.
Gen: I need to do something to get Senku-chan to notice me. 🫤
Yuzuriha: I can make you a sexy outfit!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile
Senku: oaf we need to hurry and bring back humanity, I don't know how much longer I can last with the whole "no romance before humanity is back" with Gen around.
Taiju: *sigh* I feel you buddy, I've waited thousands of years for Yuzuriha, it's getting more difficult. 😔
It was easier to endure when they were all in stone. Gen and Yuzuriha's new "summer outfits" made of the finest (nearly sheer) fabric available have Senku and Taiju feeling hot under the collar.

Hey! I'm looking for a puzzleship fic that I can't find anymore. It really cracked me up so I'd love to read it again! - Yugi is thrown back into Egypt and no one knows him and he ends up as Atem’s servant, later making his way into the pharaoh's heart. ;-) They try to get him back to the future at some point but I don’t want to spoil the rest and the ending because that was just gold. Do you know what story this is by any chance? Thank you!!
I DEFINITELY READ THIS BEFORE
I’ll let it bother me for a while, but in the meantime, if anyone else has it on-hand, please send it our way!
Also getting some replies saying it could be this:
Written in the Stars by TechnicolorNinja at FF.net
(it seems that Written in the Stars is more likely given the description- but I’d definitely recommend Immortal Game along with that in the case that you’re into that kind of thing~)
-Rynn
edit:
Immortal Game is definitely the one I was thinking of. I saw in the replies someone also suggested Memories of Shadow and Light, so here’s the link for that. The trouble is that the literature for Ancient Egypt fics where Yuugi is a sevant is ENDLESS.
I have been looking for Written in the Stars so I could reread it for ages. You do not know the search that has brought me to this post, where at last I can be reminded of the title of that fic. I legit could just remember that the master livejournal post had the chapter links arranged in the puzzle's upside-down pyramid shape and the plot.
Xeno: “I am a man of science. I do not succumb to irrational sentimentality, nor do I entertain illusions when separated from my personnel.”
Also Xeno (during those 5 years while Stanley was petrified): *silently lighting cigarettes in an empty ashtray like incense, just letting them burn down to fill the cold lab with the smell of tobacco and gunpowder so he can pretend his knight is standing right behind him*
Xeno: “This is merely a chemical calibration of the local atmospheric properties to optimize my cognitive focus. It has zero emotional significance. Do not look at me.”
