Also GW? Ooh! Who did you write?

ahahaha pretty exclusively heero and duo. or trowa and quatre. yep.

what about you? i love remembering all the gw stuff.

I was tagged for this!

Name: Yahtzee is all I go by in terms of fandom. At this point I have people in RL who call me this. 

Nickname: Yahtzee’s pretty much it. 

Gender: Female

Star Sign: Gemini

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor, according to all the online tests, which surprised me since I always thought I’d be a Ravenclaw. But then I remembered this constant dialogue in my head:

One self: I want to do a thing.

Other self: There are probably many complications and risks to that thing, which you have not yet thought through.

Whole self: I am going to DO THE THING.

And if that’s not Gryffindor, I don’t know what is. 

Favorite Color: Dark blue, dark purple, emerald green, black

Favorite Animal(s): dogs, specifically my dog

Time Right Now: 12:42 a.m., so this post is indefensible

Average Hours of Sleep: 7-8

Cat or Dog Person: Dogs, which is lucky, since I’m allergic to cats. 

Favorite Fictional Characters: Jean-Luc Picard, Leia Organa, Charles Xavier, Maisie Dobbs, Betty Suarez, Jack Bristow, the “I, Claudius” version of Livia Augusta, Dana Scully, Fox Mulder, Martha Jones, Supergirl, Sherlock Holmes, Peggy Carter, Spock, everyone in Jane Austen ever, and I know I am still leaving out many deeply beloved fictional persons

Number of Blankets I Sleep With: One, now that I live in a warm climate

Dream Trip: St. Petersburg, or maybe far south Patagonia

Dream Job: To my everlasting surprise and gratitude, I have it.

When Was This Blog Created: I honestly don’t know, because I came to start this Tumblr about four years ago and found that I’d already created one and never used it! When that was, IDK. 

Current Number of Followers: Are there a thousand of you? Maybe not quite. Honestly I don’t pay much attention to that. 

When did your blog reach it’s peak? Well, I used to be writing more fic, but other than that my Tumblr is much as it’s always been (except the Phantom Years at the start.) 

What made you decide to get Tumblr? LJ went slack, and I like looking at pictures of the X-Men actors, so there you have it. 

I’m very glad it works for you that way! It’s definitely intended to be a story where the focus isn’t on the development of (or even very much the possibility of) Peter/Nightingale as a sexual relationship - like, honestly as the author I don’t think they’ve even kissed by the end of it. (If only because, well, small children are not conducive to the development of that sort of new relationship.) 

I think it’s quite probable I will write other bits and bobs for that scenario where it is specifically Peter/Nightingale + Peter/Beverley, but I think the fic can stand alone the way you interpret it and it always will. 

The 'fandom' for original works on ao3 is 'Original Work', which presumably he should use. Is it worth contacting support?

Nah, I thought about that and decided it was bit mean. It’s definitely a Laundry Files story, it’s material he’s never going to publish, so in terms of falling outside the canon it’s...fic-adjacent? I guess? And Stross is an author who, while he didn’t come from and doesn’t inhabit fandom per se, has a very pragmatic and fan-friendly fanfic policy. It’s not ~wrong~, it’s just ~weird~. 

So I need the paper collection, too? I’d really hoped to leave paper comics behind. Dang.

If that’s not a Swallows and Amazons reference I’m pretending it is.:)

oh, man, the whole brood saga is amazing

Considering it. How does it feel?
