Oh, I do hope so as well!  Of course, it would be difficult to top this week in terms of general WTF-ness, but you never know.

Sorry to hear that. I hope things improve for next week and beyond.

Did you not feel me glancing your way when I said ‘lost forever’ Jaydee? 

There are some real incel weirdos on reddit, but I have seen worse on twitter tbh. At least reddit’s moderation is generally ok, and means that subs like TwoXChromosomes are inclusive! 
For BW’s confused reaction – the broken arms thing relates to This ancient Ask Me Anything and how on reddit in every other thread someone will find a way to reference it.
I, uh, I like the puns.

@InBrightestDay It was a less-than-serious reference to the negative connotations my fellow intersectional feminists on other social media sites have attributed to redditers. Also, the puns. If I start chain punning shit, you’ll know I’m lost forever. 

And so hotel california clams another victim.

I still haven’t succumbed… 

I still haven’t succumbed… 

I still haven’t succumbed… 

Well it means that soon CloverReef won’t be able to hear about a young man with broken arms without having a certain mental image.
 

One of “those” people?  Is there something about being on Reddit?
This isn’t a joke or anything; there’s just a lot about the internet I don’t know.

I don’t understand most of this, but most of my life I’ve liiiived for huffing old dictionaries, so… now we’re sisters. 

Look forward to your epic return of epicness! Have fun!

Un-Thanks!

Jumping in late, so...happy un-birthday?

What’s going on with the rewrite?

Re-writer’s block, I guess. It needs a new start and a new ending and some more character florishes in the middle, and the first new start I wrote I’ve I don’t really like, so I’ve come up with a second one but was having issues getting it down. I figure the ol’ muses are pissed I don’t like the first idea.
But quadrille? I’ve knocked out 1000 words easy. Not my best work, but with a bit of polishing it’ll be reasonably avagerge compared to some of the dribs drabs prompt fics I’ve done!

Well, if it works it works!
I’m currently fighting a bit with Repopulation over a similar issue.  I’m trying to work out where to put the physical description of each character in the first chapter, which is especially hard since I get distracted every time I learn about some other cool feature of the Ark (that’s what Ken calls the Stanford Torus for fairly obvious reasons), like the chevron shields on the glass ceiling.  I swear, half of my author’s notes on this thing are just going to be “Isn’t science cool?!” followed by “Oh yeah, some character stuff and sex happened in this chapter too, I guess.”
So I definitely understand the issues with getting a proper beginning on a story, and going through several variations on it.

Heh you started out taking on a request for a good ol’ incest + guest porno, and might end up with sort of hard sci fi survival epic. Reviewer: “You’re supposed to have entangled limbs, not protons!”
I guess when the characters first appear works for broad strokes physical description if nothing else!
I got my fingers crossed ya get through your issues, sounds like it’s gonna be epic with all the effort putting into it
 

I’d never heard this extraordinary piece, but thank you for making my morning sublime. After a rough weekend with an epileptic corgi in hospital for cluster seizures, I needed this bit of beauty to chase away the last remnants of stress.
(The wee lass is home, doing her best impersonation of a stoner pup, and seizure-free which is brilliant…  )

NYC is like a disease, once you’ve been infected, you can’t get rid of it. lol  And I’ll never have that key lime pie again! 

I find myself missing the extreme cold now, but not as much as I find myself missing NYC.  

Thank you, that’s very kind of you!  It’s been incredibly tough recently, but my birthday was okay, which is good. 

I’ll do me bestest. Not looking forward to the plane rides, but eh… can’t be helped.

See you in late May, and take care of yourself!
