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.

When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.
The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?
This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.
one time me and some pals spotted one of those big cookie cakes in a store. it was done up with red icing and little X's for kisses and in the middle it said
No One Like You
now, it took us a while to realise it meant "(there is) no one like you". at first, we all parsed it as a botched "no one like(s) you"
for ages after when we'd wind each other up we'd declare "NO ONE LIKE YOU ☹️👎"
I want you all to know that there are actual tears in my eyes, I can’t breathe, and my throat hurts, I’m laughing so hard at this. I love a botched cake so much.
stratt and grace and the rest of the phm science team running on 4 cumulative hours of sleep at an unscheduled conference. dimitri and lokken are trying to explain a new complication in the hail mary's fueling system and the resources necessary to iron it out but they keep getting interrupted by government officials butting in until grace (who doesn't even look up from his laptop and checked out of the conversation two days ago) snaps "we raise our hands to speak"
complete silence for like 3 seconds. the french prime minister sheepishly raises his hand and stratt smiles for the first time that week (grace buries his entire head behind his laptop screen for wont of a better option, like jumping straight into the sea)
Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

[ID: A Project Hail Mary comic. (Edit: OP kindly added this ID to the og post, so please go reblog from there instead!!) Grace is frowning as he works on a report, and Carl asks from offscreen, "Have you ever thought about getting out of your own way?" Grace, confused: "Huh?" Carl, unimpressed: "You're smart, man, but you cut yourself off halfway through all your sentences. Why?"
Grace hunches in and says, "Guess I was bullied a lot growing up, haha-" Carl cuts in. "So was I." Grace: "What? Really?" Carl pops Skittles in his mouth as he replies, "I grew up fat and black, I got my fair share of shit. Sure, it got to me, but I came around to the idea that those teenage dipshits were wrong about me. What's your excuse, man?"
Grace says uncomfortably, "I never- Uh. I, well-" Carl looks very unimpressed and says, "See? You're doing it again. Say what you mean to say." Grace slumps. "I guess I never thought about it that way." Carl: "Yeah. I know. That's why I said it. Get out of your own damn way."
We see the first panel in color: Grace floating outside the Hail Mary, surrounded by the red glow of Astrophage, as Carl says, "And once you do that? Hoo, man. You'll be unstoppable."
Back to black and white, Grace smiles emotionally and says, "Thanks, Carl." Carl stands up to leave and points at his paper. "Remember, Stratt wants that report by end of day." Grace hunches again and scowls, "Thank you, Carl." End ID]
This form is still open to submissions, but now I have a much better idea of what I'm doing, thanks so much to the podficchat Discord Server and to everyone who responded to my form and post!
The event will be called Radio Ishigami (name courtesy of @sofiadragon ) and will take place during the first week of September (though I plan to move it to April for Depetrification in future years, I really want to get how the event works sorted out before doing it in exam season) and will basically just be a collection of podfics made for the event.
I am interested in doing a podfic exchange in the future, but for now I don't think we have enough people, and the majority of feedback I got was that people would rather have a time period based event anyway, so I'm going to leave that on the back burner for now.
The main issue with making podfics in the Dr Stone community is that there's not a ton of podfic welcome tagged works (I think I might have the only one? Correct me if I'm wrong though) and that not a ton of authors have blanket podfic permission. Sooo taking inspiration from the 911 Podfic Fest I'm going to ask for authors to submit works to be podficced.
This isn't a guarantee that they will, as that's chosen by the podficcer, and anyone making one will still be able to ask permission to podfic, or if you find someone with blanket podfic permission, you'd still able to use those fics, it's just a way to have a guarantee that podficcers will have something to work with.
Authors! If you want to add podfic welcome tags, blanket podfic permission, or contact me about having one (or more) of your fics added to the list, I encourage you! (DM me if you want your fic(s) added)
(if you're doing it for the sake of this event, a podfic welcome tag is easier to sort)
I'll create a new blog for this event sometime soon, with a list of rules, how it works, ect.
The new tag is #radioishigami and #radioishigami2026
Edit: here's the new blog but y'all got wait for me to make rules, cause I'm sick
My apartment is wired so stupid. 1 15 amp circuit that is all the lights and all but 3 of the accessible outlets - oh, and also the 15 amp microwave. So no computer games or air conditioning if you want to use the microwave. 😑 There is also a 20 amp circuit for the washing machine, fridge, stove, and the remaining 3 outlets located in the bathroom and kitchen. With this layout, I have to use a portable AC on an extension cord from the kitchen backsplash.
The building is brick colonial era construction, all the utilities are patched into it's old bones. The city forced the landlord to redo the meters - we think the family that moved out had a dispute about paying for electricity in the unit that got remodeled - all those power tools and electricity guzzling work lights, you know? The hot and cold water is backwards in the shower and washing machine hookup, which is extra fun since thw shower has the single handle style mixer instead of two knobs, so it goes from hot to warm and never cold.
Only hot showers and baths when the house is 29C inside. 🥵 I draw a bath and let it cool a bit before chucking the kid into it.
We've had the plumber in to fix clogs and leaks over the ten years we've been here and every time he asks to fix the shower because he thinks it's insane. It's a half hour job tops, just flip the internal cartridge thing that makes the tap work, but the landlord insists we're all hallucinating and nothing is wrong. I've considered doing it myself but if I leaked into the unit below I'd have to find a new apartment and... in this economy? We're paying very little considering we can use the attic space above our 900 sqft unit for extra storage.
Jail for husband! Jail for husband for 10,000 years!
He did not order the machine for pickup in store earlier in the week, he checked if it was in stock according to the website and then played Star Citizen instead of contacting the store in any way.
He chose to drive to the store with no confirmation the website was correct 4 days later on the day of the world cup.
They are sold out of portable air conditioners!
The usual exit he uses is closed, the traffic patterns are altered due to The World Cup game tonight, and he didn't have his GPS on so he took an unexpected trip across the bridge into NYC!
He and the child are currently stuck in traffic trying to get back in the correct state, empty handed.
I celebrated the new aircon when he left to pick it up, which was apparenlty premature.

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.
Rocky is stronger than me, if I had to watch for years shirts getting looser and looser on the shoulders of my beloved because he's slowly dying I'd bang my head on the wall HARD
