Fire: a Fanfic for Bushfire Support
I haven’t posted in months even tho I’m still posting fic over on AO3 but I’m back for one important post:
On December 20th I drove 500km from my home in the Australian Capital Territory [NSW] to my parents’ house in Victoria. The entire 6-hour trip, visibility was well below 500m (0.3mi) due to intense smoke haze and it was terrifying.
Bushfires are normal in Australia, everything about this year is not. Our fire season started months early. The area burnt has surpassed 4 million hectares already with months left in the fire season. In a normal year less than 500,000ha would be burnt total. Fires have been burning out of control for months and are joining together into massive complexes which have no hope of being contained until we get rain – and that won’t be until late January, at least (per long range forecasting). Smoke has caused weeks on end of hazardous air quality and corresponding increases in hospital admissions etc across large parts of the eastern states. Coastal tourist towns have lost business in their busiest period of the year and it will likely lead to many small, local businesses closing down. Millions of agricultural animals and wildlife have died, thousands of buildings have been destroyed including homes, businesses and sheds. You can find more info on the situation so far from The Guardian here.
So much of it is wildly out of human control, and it’s terrifying. I don’t know, personally, what it’s like to be actively threatened by a fire in any meaningful way. I also don’t know what to do to help.
But I did, while I was panicking for 6 hours driving through an apocalyptic smoke haze with a painters’ mask intermittently over my face when it got too bad for my car air con to keep it out, come up with a rough idea of how I could throw a “if you can help, if you’d like to, this is how” on the back of a fic.
So here goes: I wrote a fic. It’s heavy on trigger warnings: bushfire, property loss, death, PTSD. There are no major character deaths and chapter 2-3 will be generally fluffy because that’s what I needed to write. [click the text for link to fic]
And if you like the fic, love the fic, or even if you don’t really care for my writing or follow me for something other than pitch perfect, here’s how you can help out with the Australian bushfires:
The Red Cross assists with various disaster recovery and relief efforts in communities affected by fire
St Vincent De Paul Society also assists with bushfire recovery and supporting affected communtiies
The Salvation Army assists with recovery efforts and at evacuation and relief centres
BlazeAid is a charity which specifically helps rural communities with practical bushfire recovery such as rebuilding fences – fences are SO important to rural farming communities to allow livestock safety, etc!
GIVIT allows you to donate money to help specific projects for communities in need as a result of the Queensland and New South Wales bushfires
WIRES is a wildlife rescue group which supports the rescue and recovery of native wildlife in a variety of situations including the current bushfire emergency
You can donate directly to volunteer firefighting organisations in both NSW – the Rural Fire Service and Victoria – the Country Fire Authority. I was unable to find equivalent links for other state fire services. Direct donations may only be available to individuals in Australia.
Can’t donate? Don’t want to? That’s absolutely fine. There’s a lot of other ways you can help, too –
Share the message – this one, or any other!
Donate to a charity or relief effort local to you, even if that’s totally different to this – there’s a lot going on in the world, and a lot of people could use a helping hand.
Support movements raising awareness about the impact of climate change on the extent and duration of extreme weather/climatic conditions and related public health outcomes
Cut down on waste and trash, use water efficiently, and help other people do the same
Thanks!

I’m having an influx of followers to this blog again so I’ll just post a reminder that
- This blog is dead
- The fanfic list has not been updated for years. Most of the links are probably broken or dead. Most authors are inactive.
- This fandom is dead.
- (I’m super pissed at Ellen’s recent behaviour in a number of areas and no longer support her in any capacity. This blog may disappear in the near future.)

i write fic in a different fandom now oops
Seven Keys Ch 10, or, “yeah I write Bechloe fic sometimes”
So I just posted the final chapter of Seven Keys over on AO3 and FFNet and it’s probably weird to only post about a fic on Tumblr at the last chapter but like
I’m at one of those stages where I’m like, okay a heap of people I know that could be totally judgey about me writing fanfic follow me on here but whatever. I like writing and I don’t always like writing exclusively uni stuff, fanfic happens.
So hey, if you want bechloe fluff with a tiny bit of angst through the middle from someone relatively new to active Bechloe fandom-ing despite lurking for years, then pls read this thing I wrote and in case you missed the links before:
AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13395123/chapters/32547819
FFNet: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12760855/10/Seven-Keys

Still sad you're not in the fandom anymore. Hope you're doing good. I'm sure i'm not the only one who misses you're blog en especially you're writing.. Something new will always be one of my favourites because it was so relatable.
Aw, thanks anon!
ftr I’m getting increasingly in to a very intense university double degree but I like studying so yeah it’s fun. I just have minimal time for other things.

this prompt has been given by SO MANY different blogs on Tumblr but a specific prompt blog I can't remember the url of at the moment posted it and yes that was how I got the idea for the last fic I posted here (which tbh I have also forgot the name of. Turns out life is a little hectic in 2nd year university of a law double, who knew?)
story idea
a superhero story where the villain and the superhero are roommates and they keep making excuses to each other about why they are out all the time and they stitch each other up after battles but neither has any idea that the other is their nemesis and they keep on having to lie to each other why they are covered in scratches and bruises

I’ve pretty much left the degeneres’ fandom at this point (my obsessions only ever seem to last 3 max years anyway it was time for me to move on from that lol) but my parents haven’t quite got the memo about that and when I was skyping them earlier today my Dad asked if I know if they’ve broken up bc some radio show said Portia moved out lmao wtf even is the media

When will you update the list?
short answer: I don’t know.
long answer: I don’t have time to keep the list up to date any more, especially since I’ve fallen out of the fandom even more and do not have any idea what fics are updated or if there are new fics and if so, where they are
No one showed interest in my request a few months ago for someone to help with the list and i’ve yet to come up with another way to get it updated regularly without me having to put as much work into it and into keeping track of what’s going on in a fandom i’m not really a part of any more.

so that thing that goes around parts of tumblr every new year about writing down good things that happen and putting them in a jar and looking at them later in the year? I’m doing that on twitter in 2017 bc I live in too many places (two, but they’re v separate) to make a physical version work and I have done the jar thing in the past and it was nice
so yeah if you feel like seeing 100% positive stuff from me, feel free to have a look at that.
(and if you want my weird political commentary, cricket, and a fair bit of complaining, try just plain old @beccajslv on twitter)
