#emma talks

You write a beautiful, poignant short story about your childhood dog or a kind stranger who helped you or the lowest day of your life or the god of small things. You post it to tumblr. You get a couple likes from your few mutuals, maybe two reblogs.

Somehow, Haiku Bot finds it. The bot turns one of your lines into a cute little haiku and appends it to the end of the post in a reblog.

Haiku Bot has a billion more followers than you. Those followers see your story thanks to the gimmick bot and LOVE it. They spread it, 70, 80, 100k notes.

Haiku Bot gets ALL THE CREDIT. People reblog it from haiku bot with comments and notes about how much your story speaks to them. Someone draws art about your story. Someone says it helped them through a dark moment.

i only got four requests this time around but that's okay!! i had a lot of fun writing these, now im gonna start writing blurbs and stuff in hopes that one day my blog will blow up... anyway hope you enjoy these!!

michael berzatto - low point - in which michael brought her to his family's christmas dinner even though he knew he shouldn't have even gone, and she has to help him pick himself up the following morning.

michael berzatto - nowhere else to go - in which michael let her slip through his fingers because he couldn't sober up, but when he gets in a bar fight he doesn't have anyone to take care of him, and begs her to take him back.

carmen berzatto - domestic bliss - in which carmen has a daughter and a baby on the way, and sometimes he just needs to stop and appreciate the small moments in life.

carmen berzatto - jealousy - in which their old friend luca comes back from copenhagen, and carmen can't help blowing up after a whole week of touching and hugging. he just can't contain himself.

me: bless your wee cotton socks. wee soul. because yeah. that's scary. but then you did it. you SMASHED it. you made first contact. you bonded with an alien species. successfully communicated!!!!!!! you risked your life to go fishing while "the sky is kinda on fire". you saved two stars. you helped your friend. AND THEN risked your life and assured return journey home TO GO HELP HIM. SELFELESLYYYYY

(it is very hard to make progress on christmas fic in the summertime but we are chugging along)

Our Backerkit Campaign for the Triangle Agency Fanzine print run has launched! Funding period is until late March! This is likely to be our one and only print run, so get it while you can! Check it out here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/haasio-zine-team/triangle-agency-fan-zine-print-edition

Each printed zine costs $33 + shipping, but gets cheaper the more orders we get!

We will have EU & US friendly shipping.

After the campaign funding period, we'll work out any difference between the actual book cost and $33, and credit that excess towards your shipping cost.

We've got some bonus goodies you can add-on to your order! Funds from these go towards compensating the organizers.

Stickers by Jude, Haasio , and me!: Gunk, Office Complex (+6d4!) & Agent Sticker sheet

Sketch and Pixel Commissions of Your Agents by Wyllora (me!) and Haasio: these will be included in the Zine in a new "Employees of the Month" section!

The zine has increased in size by around 30 pages, and it's bigger and better than before! The print edition of the PDF will be released free on itch.io some time in March or April. Also in the works!

Thank you all again for all your support while we get this off the ground! This is truly a labor of love from the community and we can't wait to get it in your hands!

Please share around to anyone interested! The more orders we get, the cheaper we can make each zine (and the more hands we can get this into!)
