(Mostly because I'm amused by the fact that their stories never quite line up, and so I imagine their origin story is utterly mundane or so outlandish no one would believe it.)

For Becky fans who have $200 USD to spare, there's now a slipcover edition of her book available.

I have such a weakness for slipcases, but... yeah. The bookplate edition was a treat for me. I can't justify that much.

[combatfaerie]

I'm probably not going to be able to watch/listen to Seth's Pivot podcast for a while, so if anyone has the time, could you make note of when Becky is referenced? The times don't have to be exact, just close enough that I can find them easily. Thank you!

Oh look, it's another "WWE made an announcement and based on one press release, people who have zero experience in the wrestling industry are now suddenly experts on how it's going to Ruin the Industry and keep citing the same example (which had its own extenuating factors)" day. Sigh. Maybe see how things go before denouncing the project in general?

And while I'm ranting, WWE changed names from WWF in 2002. It's been over twenty years. Calling it "the fed" doesn't make you cool or edgy or anything. It's tired and lazy.

DISCLAIMER: This story is sadly disjointed because I started it in November 2023 and then things happens and it sat for months. I didn't have the energy to give it a complete overhaul, but I hope it's somewhat coherent.

Guys please help out me and my family!

I'm about 232,000 words away from 2.5 million, apparently. In a better year, I probably would have reached that by the end of this December, but I don't see it happening. I still have a fair chunk of Under the Darkest Skies to go, which will help, and if I could get working on the Zampata prequel in October/November, that would probably be another 20-30k. (Having no Flames scenes isn't helping.) Maybe that will be my writing goal for 2025.

Kudos/likes and comments are always lovely. It doesn't matter whether it's a long story or a short one, a new one or an old one. If you enjoyed it, let the author know! If you already left a kudos/like, do something like the example above! One of my favourite comments to receive is that someone is rereading the story because they liked it so much.

Hey friends. Do this:

This probably took this person 3 seconds to do but it immediately told me that they liked my story enough to come back and read it again and they liked it again the second time.

Your favorite writers Do Not Know that you think about their stories after you read them. I generally assume that my stories make people happy for the few minutes they’re reading and then they never think about it again. To know that that’s not the case and that someone has returned just makes my little heart swell with joy.

I needed this today. If you’re the person who left this comment (or if you’ve ever commented on any of my writing) I love you.

NOTE! It isn't finished yet, but I'm close and I have a lot ready to post if you want to read along as it goes. (If you'd rather wait, that's cool too!) Also, it's the third Fathoms story, but a sequel to QUEENS OF THE UNDERGROUND. Certain things will make more sense if you read DRAWN TO YOU (Liv/Rhea), but I think you can follow along well enough without it.

[combatfaerie]

I was going to say fuck it and start posting a story I was hesitant about and then AO3 has glitches. Clearly the writing gods do not find it fit for consumption.

[combatfaerie]

Hey guys! So after five months I’m still unemployed though I’m looking every day! I desperately am in need of money and since I don’t believe in getting something for nothing, I’m taking art commissions. Please see pricing below!!

Please PM me either here or over at X under ashleyfanfic

for the wrestler ask thing.... you don't write about tag teams/factions much, so.... Wyatt Sicks, Young Bucks, , MCMG?

Thanks for the ask, anon! I don't know if there was supposed to be another team listed with the extra comma, so if there was, just send another ask.

WYATT SICKS: Bray Wyatt is one of my favourites. I'll get that out of the way. That said, the Wyatt6 aren't quite doing it for me yet. I'm guessing it's with the blessing of the family, so that's good. I'm glad Bo is able to carry on his brother's legacy, even if it's not how he would have wanted. I appreciate that the members haven't lost their original identities: Dexter Lumis is channelling Mercy, not claiming to be him, etc. But to be fair, we've only seen them in a few matches. I hope they carve their own niche in time.

YOUNG BUCKS: Not a fan. I know a lot of people I follow are fans, so I'll be polite and leave it there.

MCMG: Not familiar enough with them to have an opinion. I know they're well regarded and supposedly WWE bound. I know there's people complaining that they're supposedly starting in NXT, but I think people forget that this era of NXT isn't just development for the younger talent; it's giving the vets a chance to give back and perhaps get a taste of coaching, producing, etc. I'm interested to see what they do and how they fit in WWE's tag team scene.

[combatfaerie]

I got a request for a Damian Priest/Female OC fic. I'm not good with OC fic, but I know there are a lot of tumblr-based writers who are, so if you would be interested in the request or know of someone who would be, please let me know!
