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 learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure
This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it

I really loved Thor Ragnarok and I’m not tired of drawing fan stuff yet so I chose Loki for today’s animation practice. I actually wanted to animate Thor doing something stupid as a counterpart but ran out of time; maybe later :D
personally i think it'd be super funny if erid was like, REALLY concerned about the ethical implications of "keeping an intelligent individual "trapped" in an enclosure where they might feel pressured to not speak up and simply do what other eridians tell them out of fear of death", so they have a whole ethics committee full of social workers and eridian rights lawyers and stuff. meanwhile grace is just like "hey my zookeepers, can you make it rain in my cage tomorrow. thanks <3"
grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)
rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

This feel werid to ask but did you mark some fics of your as anonymous? I swear one i read by you isnt on your profile anymore.
Yes. Everything from the Harry Potter fandom has been marked anonymous. I don't believe in deleting my HP fanfic, I am deeply anti-censorship and against revisionist history, but with the TV show coming I felt I should divorce my other works from them. I don't want to promote or hype the fandom, not with how the money made from it is used to harm women. As a cis woman with medical issues that gave me a full beard that I can't really afford to laser off, JKR defines me as a man pretending to be a woman. At least, that is how she has spoken of rape and domestic abuse victims (yep, I'm one of those too!) who call her charity's help line and mention they have PCOS or try to use her shelters.
I think what people do in their private lives that doesn't hurt anyone else is their business, and that a person's faith and relationship with the holy is theirs and has nothing to do with anyone else. I wasn't raised with a faith that begs to be spread and imposed on others, and think it is awful when people try to force uniformity on our naturally diverse and beautifully colorful world.
I'm also aro, part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
So, while I am proud of the things I wrote, and if you search the internet you can find them rather easily, I don't want the other fic I write in other fandoms to cross-promote the HP stuff. My Ace Snape fic is my most popular fic by a country mile and I am losing a lot of cross- promotion in the other direction by not interacting with HP anymore. Which is kind of a shame, because I think more people should get into Dr Stone and a lot of the people who read HP fanfic would like my new YuGiOh story.
I still believe that it isn't really support for her unless it makes her money, but the cross promotion from people reading my other stories right now is kinda icky. Oh... I should probably private my HP bookmarks now that I think of it. Consider this your chance to harvest any recommendations before they vanish.
I hope you stick around for my other stuff, maybe roll the dice on one of the stories I've written for a fandom you aren't in. I think of lot of my work, since I put so much into worldbuilding all the time, holds up alright even if you don’t know the series... and lots of people know enough about Star Trek to read a spirk story.

ohh shit. Once Rocky arrived in the Tau Ceti system and got to work, it no longer mattered when he left the engine room to run around the ship (trying to use lab equipment and fixing things and trying and failing and fixing on and on and on). The reason Rocky didn't die of radiation poisoning during the 40+ years he was in the Tau Ceti system is because he was parked in the petrova line. His entire ship was in a cloud of astrophage. He never succeeded at capturing any but the fact that he never stopped trying quite literally kept him alive.
He tried so hard and got nowhere, but all along it was keeping him alive long enough to meet Grace, and save everyone after all.
From the book:
“‘I tried to make replacement [astrophage sampler]. Failed. Tried. Failed. Tried. Failed. I put ship in path of astrophage. Maybe some get stuck on hull. But…no can find any. Astrophage very small.’
His carapace slumps down….he dips his carapace when sad, but I’ve never seen him dip it this far.
His voice drops an octave. ‘Fail fail fail. I am repair Eridian, not science Eridian….science Eridians died.’
… ‘I’m a science human. You’re good at making things. Together we’ll figure this out.’
He raises his carapace a bit. ‘Yes. Together.’”
