#ptera rambles

1) An original comedy series of short episodes following a poly quad post-college and their hot neighbor across the hall in 1999. Will be posted with ads on my site, or you’ll be able to buy ebooks or physical copies (I hope!)

2) Rewriting the Sandman series as an original series of novels with a new beginning. (Distribution same as above)

3) A McDanno story for the h50 Big Bang, which starts posting next week.

4) A Stoncy fic for the ST Rare Pair Big Bang @st-rarepairbang

5) A few more installments of Sandman to bring it to a nice close before I start taking it down, hopefully. I’m also planning on formatting it as pdfs that can be printed by a binder like luluxpress, so I’ll make those available at some point.

6) All sorts of good RP Stoncy content on the Stoncy discord server. (18+ please!)

7) This Stoncy fic, in case you missed it.

8) I started an H50 writers/fans discord too, and everyone (16+) is welcome there as well.

And I’ve been working!

So yeah, keeping busy!

wednesday: name a fic which you have posted which you think is underrated?

Thanks for the ask!

Anyway, then I figured out the rest of fic #12 (“season 6”), so roughly the scenes left to write (though some of them might end up in fic #13). THEN I wrote out the plot of fic #14, which will be much less heavy and angsty than 12, but still fun, I think. Might put a 1.5-2 year time jump between 13 and 14. That would get the series close to college graduation.

Who knows how many words it’ll get to before I’m sick of writing these losers and their super-intense found family? There might be a fic in there about Mike/Eleven and their intimate-but-platonic relationship with Will that might be really interesting. There’s a fic about the little kid OC that just got introduced. There’s a fic about everything, but from Joyce’s POV. There’s a fic about Joyce demanding a proper wedding, and wacky shenanigans that might entail.

I read this book when I was like 19-20

[image description: the cover of a book titled “Hominids” by Robert J. Sawyer]

It’s about a parallel universe where Neanderthals ended up the sole human species on the planet. Their society is fairly utopian, and most every adult Neanderthal has an opposite-gender spouse and a same-gender spouse. And I’m sitting there, reading this, and thinking, “Wow, wouldn’t that be awesome? Too bad I’m not a Neanderthal.”

*headdesk*

Not at all! I enjoy the occasional suspenseful thriller, but I can’t handle horror movies at all. Stranger things is about as scary as I can do, and even then I had to watch s1 only during the day the first time I watched it.

I was tagged by @wolfish-willow ! Thanks for thinking of me!

Top 3 ships:

1. Stoncy – they have abducted my brain and I can’t stop thinking about these dumbasses! I love them so much! And they’re all different, but they’re all the same and they all care SO MUCH. Gah!

2. McDanno – argh! Talk about soulmates! Steve was looking for a family and Danny was looking for a home and they both got what they needed! And the looks that say everything! And the love! THE FOUND FAMILY! I cry!

3. JediStormPilot – haven’t written anything yet, haven’t read much. But if you’ve seen tros, you know what I’m talking about! Ahhh!

Lipstick or chapstick: neither, but I’ll sometimes use chapstick. Ooh, or I have this rose lip balm from lush that’s v nice.

Last song: To Be Alone – Hozier. Such a good song! Just the musicality of it. The soul. The syncopated, swinging-but-precise rhythm. The lyrics! One of my current faves. Glad my pandora plays it often.

Last movie: It was probably star wars tros, even though that was three weeks ago. I watch tv shows a lot more often.

Reading: I read this one despite the migraine telling me to stop.
