¡Help 2 Transbian Jews Eat and Stay Housed!

Hi friends. Weve made a number of posts that failed to get off the ground. My wife and I are struggling with an overpriced apartment and additional bills and fees being thrown at us. What's worse is I've been locked out of my PUA claim thanks to the governors far-reaching ""fraud"" crackdown, so money is very tight.

We need to pay our bills and buy groceries!

I dont know if we have even enough to make shabbat dinner this week! Please help out 2 very tired, mentally struggling jewish trans women by sharing this post and donating to:

Venmo: @Yiskah-Ezra

We are eternally grateful

I wonder if, in superhero universes, the villains ever get contacted by those “Make a Wish Foundation” and similar people.

I mean, the heroes do, of course they do, kids who want to meet Spiderman or Superman or get to be carried by the Flash as he runs through Central City for just thirty seconds.

But surely there are also the kids, who - because they are kids and sometimes kids are just weird - decide that what they really, really want is to meet a supervillain. Because he’s scary or she’s awesome or that freeze ray is just really, really cool, you know?

I Love You

Miles Morales and the PDNY don’t really get along. They call him a menace, and he’s constantly watching over his shoulder waiting for one of them to be fed up enough to ‘accidentally’ shoot. He’s got supporters in the force. But they’re far and few between, and even with his dad defending him, he still has to watch his step.

Which makes him accidentally saying “I love you.” to the police officers he comes across that much more awkward. It’d started with his dad, and then with another police officer, and for some reason at this point it’s a pavlovian response whenever he sees an officer. His roommate teases him, and he can’t count the amount of times his dad has come home with a new story of an officer coming into the precinct with a story that ends with the new Spiderman confessing his love for them.

Though, as the months pass the PDNY start to let up on their general dislike of Spiderman. Especially after Miles reveals he’s related to someone on the force, and that he’d actually been there the night of Peter Parker’s death. This seems to shift their perspectives of Mile’s and suddenly there’s to go boxes filled with sandwiches and hot chocolate and chips on the nights he patrols. He starts overhearing his dad’s coworkers arguing over who’s turn it is to make sure that Spiderman gets something to eat and who’s gotten the latest confession of love.

They still don’t always get along. Miles doesn’t think they’ll ever see eye to eye on his ‘vigilante’ work, but the officers have defended him from angry citizens who have taken it upon themselves to receive ‘justice’ for something he hasn’t done. They’ve accepted the fact that, for the time being, he’s here to stay, and to help in any way he can.

So Miles Morales and the PDNY don’t really get along, but they love each other enough to get through it.

I can understand why you’d think that! But I used she/her because of the repeated use of she/her pronouns in both the comics and the tv show.

me: *an avid fan of the comics that loved Xavin and was terrified that she’d died when the ship blew up and actually really wanted her and Karolina to get together in season 1* ffffuuuccckkkk yes

also me: *loves Karolina and Nico’s on-screen romance and genuinely wants the two of them to stay together because I believe they truly love one another and balance each other in a way that none of the other characters can* fffuuuccckkkk no?

also, also me: *is still very wary of what will happen to Xavin because of the storyline in the comics that gives the writers a very convenient way to write her off the show* ffffuuuccckkk yes??

It takes, at least, an hour to write a thousand words. And that’s when the words flow easily and it doesn’t include editing time. At least that’s my experience. 

It’s hard. It takes time and focus and so much dedication that it’s mind-boggling. Fic writers plot while they drive to work, when they pick their kids up at school, when they take a shower, when they try to fall asleep. Basically? We plot all the time. Scenes play over and over and over in our heads until it’s like watching it on tv (this is, admittedly, awesome but also at times problematic). Lines pop into our heads at the weirdest times and we make notes on scratch papers and napkins and on our phones so we don’t forget them. We eat, breathe, and sleep our stories.

Some writers write on their lunch breaks at work instead of eating. Some stay up half the night and show up exhausted to work the next morning. Some spend weekend mornings writing at a coffee shop instead of hanging out with their family or friends. Whenever they write the fanfic you read, they do it for free and it costs them time, energy and (for those of us who camp out in coffee shops for hours on end) sometimes money.

So here it is. 

If you have constructive criticism? Great. Be mindful of how you give it. Ask if the author is open to it first. Be specific. Be focused. And balance it with good points. If you are instead inclined to leave a note explaining that you won’t be reading because you don’t care for a plot element, hit the back key instead. The writer owes you nothing and comments like these are rude, self-entitled and egocentric as fuck. That fanfic you just spent fifteen minutes reading and the author spent 8 hours writing? It’s a gift. If you don’t like it? Politely back away and go elsewhere. 

You are free to dislike anything you like, even if its a canon plot element. You are also free to express that dislike. However - and here’s the kicker - that doesn’t mean you should.

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Young Avengers fandom roll call

I’ve had a few conversations with people recently about the fandom - how it feels like conversations have died out, fanworks aren’t circulating the same way they used to, and how it’s a shame that there’s no real central hub of fandom conversation anymore – not the way LJ communities and mailing lists used to bring everyone to the same location. 

The lack of new material’s also obviously an issue, but new people are finding the series all the time. 

Tumblr’s not set up for it, and most people aren’t looking to add more social media networks to their daily lives, so I won’t bother proposing slack channels or dreamwidth communities, but I figure it’s worth sending a post around to try and make connections. 

So if you consider yourself a Young Avengers / New Avengers / Kate-Hawkeye / America Chavez fan (have I missed any books?), hit like or reblog. 

This is adamantly not a request for everyone to follow everyone else, but a way to get a sense of who’s still out there. Just because the platform sucks, it doesn’t mean we can’t pop out of our bubbles occasionally to say hi. ;)

This is the Lucky Ace. Reblog to recieve a wad of cash that is oddly specific to your current needs.

Underlined PSA

Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.

DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.

Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!

Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!

Does anyone else have that one fanfiction that they’re dying to to write but it’s like, mega long and basically a whole universe, and then you’ve got head-cannons to go with that fanfiction and like fanfiction to go with that fanfiction an back-stories for every character and you get frikin’ feels about that universe and it’d be the most coolest thing if you could just be bothered to frikin’ write it.
