#teacup talks

Until it…. Wasn’t?]

“aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OOF. OWWWwwwww…”

[Teacup looked around, observing an… unfamiliar sight. It was.. night. And there were a lot of buildings.

a city, perhaps. There was one building in particular that.. caught his eye though.

It looked like some sort of headquarters of maybe a tech company? All he knew was it said.. CeramiCode..? Who the fuck names a company that.

He looked around, and suddenly felt a raindrop. Then another. And soon enough, it was pouring. He felt rain start to collect in his cup, so he scrambled towards the building, hoping maybe he would be able to hide there for just a short moment.]

“Jeez.. holy Toast..”

[he tilted himself, pouring a majority of the water out before standing upright once more, fixing his tie. Then he entered the building. Pristine floors, shimmering walls of screens and technology.

And at the front? A statue. Of. Him?]

“What the fuck-?”

[Teacup looked around in confusion. Where was he? What was happening? Why was-]

“hey.. just so you know, the building is closing for the night soon.. no visitors..”

[That was his voice. That was him. But.. not? What the fuck was happening.]

“Hi. Uh..”

“Whoa whoa whoa hold up back up. why do you sound like me.”

“I- I don’t know-?”

[The two Teacups stared at each other for a long while before the unfamiliar Teacup backed away.]

“Fuck.. I think I’m gonna be sick.. sorry-“

[And with that he ran off, leaving Ty Teacup on his own, more confused than he already was. Until a hand grabbed at his foot, suddenly tugging him through the floor.]

“OH GOD AAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh…… what.”

…

Okay so we have a lot of options here. We’ll have a list of fics, but part of the fun of a book club is meeting up to discuss things. We can choose between (or in addition to):

>Whatsapp Group Discussions: The benefits of this include being able to have a more private meeting with time stamps, etc. You can type responses or record yourself verbally or through a video. Lot’s of options here that let us have a discussion without really forcing people to all be on the same time zone at the same time. 

>Blog (only): We can all discuss comments and post thoughts onto one fic post per week, but as you all know, tumblr can be funny about time stamps. This is a little more public, but it does work too. 

I will be honest; I hate discord and zoom is too inconvenient for people in different time zones. Let me know what you guys think.

Again, I’m would definitely love having another Mod (or two) to help me run this thing. 

I post stimboards, lesbian stuff, and always want to talk with new friends!

I am also the host of a DID system!

Hello all!

I know things have been a little quiet over the past two weeks, but I am happy to announce that it’s finally time to get started. 

Rumour Has It // FictionIsSocialInquiry

We’ll be starting the fic titled, “Rumour Has It.” Due to the nature of the fic, we’ll be reading 10 chapter increments. In other words, please go ahead and read the first ten chapters!

When we meet this coming Friday, 6/19, we’ll discuss our thoughts, feelings, and talk about what we enjoyed (or didn’t) about the first chunk of this fanfic. 

I’ll do my best to post a few discussion questions before Friday, but the discussion is free to go where it chooses. 

Thank you all for joining. Please feel free to give feedback; this is my first time running an adult book club (somehow this is easier with fourth graders). 

Thank you for your input and suggestions, guys. 

Based on discussion, I thinking having the group discussion here on this blog will actually work out just fine. If it becomes an issue, I’ll go ahead and revisit it. The blog format works out for more people and maintains privacy. 

I’ve also received recs already and added them to the list. Please continue to submit recs, but don’t forget to add links. It makes my life easier when I upload them. 

We also have two mods, @fireflaked​ and @thereisnocabbageinbasingse​, who will help run things when I can’t. I’m also still figuring out how to let them post things. Honestly, I feel like a technology grandma. I’m literally the one at my school teaching older colleagues how make zoom calls and use google classroom, but tumblr got me feeling like a grandma before i’m properly thirty lol

Anyway, at this point I need two things: 

More recs

Days that work best

I want this book club to be a weekly sort of thing. We’ll have a designated fanfiction that we’ll read through (it’ll likely be several chapters at a time depending on fic length) and discuss each week. With that being said, we’ll need a day to post things. Discussion can continue after the specific day, but it helps to have a sort of schedule and calendar (yes i’m teachering the shit out of this, I can’t help what I am). Leave a comment down below with the day you think works best. I’m inclined to pick Friday, but honestly it doesn’t matter which day we ultimately settle with. 

Once we chose a day, I’ll randomly choose a fanfiction and we can get started!
