#terror fandom

The inscription is mostly eroded but the part at the bottom apparently goes:

“Not here! The white north hath thy bones and thou

Heroic sailor soul

Art passing on thine happier voyage now

Toward no earthly pole”

And when I said I walk past it nearly every day, I wasn’t exaggerating. He’s dead centre in the middle of Hobart and surrounded by bus terminals.

If you look at the Terror fandom, fanworks are overwhelmingly fix-its, fluff-n-smut, and AUs. 

Which tells us, I think, that what the fans want from the Terror was ... for the characters to live. For them to be happy (including fucking each other with a truly staggering variety). And for us to have more of them, which given how the show ended means fixits and AUs are kind of the only way to go ....

working on a Lozer bingo collab with whalers that I’m not going to keep quiet about because I’m super excited:

But Edward was no paper ballerina. He was cast from the same mold as Solomon but made of better, sterner stuff and would not follow him into the fire. Solomon wouldn’t allow it, not here nor if they ever returned. No, he would see Edward safe and restored, his sash decorated with medals in gold bright as spangles, as he surely deserved, and Solomon could then go happily to the flames alone, clutching his heart of tin.
