The first is of the grandpas just being adorable and the second is an adorable picture of Miles with his parents!

Congrats to the winners and to my fellow runners-up!

If you DIDN’T win but still want to share your story, post it on Ao3 and add it to this collection so it’s easier for others to find!

Also, a collection is a great idea! I’ve just posted my entry into it, though it’s also available on my own website.

‘Blink’, written for the prompt ‘Telescope’.

Observation Notes - 12am: Potential visual anomaly identified at Right Ascension 2h 09m 12s, Declination 89° 34’ 27”.

No astronomer fears the dark spaces that they blindly prod with their cold glass eyes, heedless of what they might meet in those far, fathomless depths.

No astronomer fears the dark. How many have wondered if they ought to.

Whereas some half-baked hot garbage has got ALL KINDS of plot holes, incomplete characterization, warped timelines, missing worldbuilding and other Spaces for fans to colonize, like coral growing on a sunken battleship.

And then if a series just sucks too much, it’s not fun to interact with at all, and people won’t fandomize it because it’s toxic. Like how coral won’t grow on sunken piles of burnt-out tires.

Humans and gentlefolk,

Due to recent developments at my company that caused it to change from a fairly decent workplace to a dysfunctional mess, I have handed in my notice and am attempting to switch entirely to freelance editing. It’s easier said than done though, and since tumblr is my only social media platform, I figured I’d post here first.

I’ll edit anything and everything—theses and dissertations, journal articles, novels, short stories, blog posts, etc. All genres and any level of mature content are welcome.

These are my rates (in USD) for the services offered:

Proofreading: $0.02 per word

Editing: $0.04 per word 

Manuscript Review: $0.03 per word

Formatting: $0.005 per word

For further details on what each of these entails, please visit the pricing page on my newborn blog. You can DM me with any questions or for clarifications. You can also email me.

I offer sample edits of 300 to 1000 words (depending on the document type and length) so that you can get an idea of how I edit before committing.

Payments are accepted via PayPal. Once you place an order, I’ll get in touch with you to discuss and finalize the finer details.

Martin stands in the doorway with his mouth open, taking in the scene in front of him. Jon seems to have decided looking half dead wasn’t working for him and has now graduated to looking mostly dead, swaying on his feet and pressing a commemorative tea towel to his bleeding shoulder.

First marriage it is!! Simon took the picture, its the only picture Peter has on the Tundra of him and Elias, likewise its the only picture Elias has framed on their apartment.
