#OTD in 1912 – The Titanic stopped off at Queenstown (now Cobh), Co Cork.
The doomed ship anchored two miles off shore at Roches Point as the port could not accommodate a ship of its size. 123 mainly 3rd class passengers who had paid 15, 10 shillings for a one way trip embarked. Eight people who boarded at either Southampton or Cherbourg disembarked. Only 48 of the Queenstown passengers would survive. Those who would die included 18-year-old Mary Delia Burns from…

Fiance to a Star News
I have given up on trying to force myself to keep working on it. But, hold on, it doesn't mean I'm abandoning it.
I'm looking for a beta/editor/co-author, I'm really not sure what to call it. Let me explain this a bit.
[Update: help found! Thank you!]
I've written that fic in its entirety almost six months ago, in my native language. Then, when I decided to post it, I ran it all through Google Translate. Which is great at translating things word for word in their literal meaning, but not great for sentence structure, idioms, and some minor grammar mishaps. So, since I've posted the first chapter, I've been tideously going through every sentence and either correcting or rewriting it while keeping the meaning.
I am now in the middle of chapter four, and I'm officially so done with it that I'm starting to think about just deleting it all. Which would be a great waste since I do still love that fic.
So I'm looking for someone to help me out here.
More explanations and stuff under the cut.
Let me first show you what I mean by helping me out:
Example of what the text is now:
Tim is silent for a while. The prospects are clearly not rosy, and he, to be honest, doesn’t really understand what to do next. Until now, all he had thought about was how to get out of here, so now that that possibility was gone, he just...
While it is understandable enough, it is not exactly good sentence-structure and grammar wise. Also, it's as plain as white bread.
Example of what the text should (to my best abilities) look like:
Tim pauses, taken aback. The situation does not look very promising, and, if he is being honest, he has no idea of what to do now. Until this moment, all he had thought about was how to get out of the woods. But now that it was not happening and the last chances of escape have all slipped through his fingers, he just...
You see what I mean?
It's extra confusing for myself since when I see the unedited text, my brain automatically reads it in another language and making myself switch manually is draining as fuck, and I'm at my limit.
There's also the issue of some names that translated wrong/did not translate properly/translated as a wrong word. For example, the head of the Academy would be called Headmaster in English, but it translated to Director, or the fact Google Translate keeps translating Sam's pronouns to he/him for some unknown reason, and many more little details.
So I desperately need help.
Perks: co-authoring, access to all the chapters, naturally, as well as all the random notes, pieces of lore that I have, but that have not made it into the fic, any question regarding the fic answered, random thoughts, permission to rewrite literally anything how you see fit (while keeping the general line of plot). Is it co-authoring or adoption at this point? I have no idea, really, but whatever you prefer.
If you're interested, just message me for any other details <3
P.S. Please understand that there are 10 (maybe 9.5) chapters to be edited. And also that I will be giving you a sort of test piece of text to try it out. If, at any point later, you decide it's not your cup of tea anymore, that's totally fine, I'll understand. I just really, really want to post this fic, but I don't want to throw the plain unedited version there.
Thanks in advance!

William Gaunt guests as (ex) RAF Flight Lieutenant Mike Gregory, now a potential traitor (!) in The Saint: Flight Plan (5.13, ITC, 1966)
#fave spotting#william gaunt#richard barrett#the champions#flight plan#1966#the saint#itc#classic tv#character actors#the champions was still a year or two away at this point‚ but Bill was already a well known face on tv#for one thing he was still currently co starring in ATV's long running Victorian set police procedural Sergeant Cork#actually his Cork co star John Barrie had appeared in the previous week's Saint ep (5.12 Locate and Destroy)#it's hard to say bc the shooting and transmission dates of Sgt Cork are a little fuzzy‚ but there's a fair chance the series had finished#production by this point (episodes would air until '68 but in odd dribs and drabs‚ not clear cut seasons)#he's quite fun here as a sketchy pilot who's been thrown out of the airforce and is now working for some shadowy foreign agents#(the exact nationality of the agents is only ever alluded to; they appear to be middle eastern but acting on behalf of soviet parties in#eastern europe). anyway it's up to Simon to save the dav obviously but not before Bill gets shot in the shoulder and has a terrible#time learning his lesson (and flying a fancy plane whilst bleeding heavily)

Sometimes I think about the fact that one day I just decided, with nothing to back me up at all, that as a child James Barry went by ‘Peg’.
#greta was another contender but I think peg is youthful and less feminine#i have since asked my granny (80s) and she said that in cork most margarets of her generation went by peg but most of her mother's#generation were mag. i doubt i can find what was more common in the 1790s and my granny isn't from the same part of cork either#my own post#dr james barry#i called him Little Peg Bulkeley in one poem i wrote and it really stuck with me#maybe he was small as a child - as a man he is often called short and slight - and therefore he was little peg. maybe there was another#peg who lived near him that was big peg or tall peg or long peg#(my great grandfather edmond lived next door to another edmond with the same surname so he was known as long ned cos he was tall)#my writing about him keeps jumping between academic (where is the line between man & myth) and fiction and this is defintely fiction based#it turns out that building upon the myth is fun

tune into today’s episode of meet my ocs! here’s ten (ish) facts about isaac, everyone's favorite time traveler!
his full name is isaac andrew rafferty, he's currently 379 years old, and he's a scorpio. he's also a bisexual disaster, uses he/they pronouns (i think)
he's half-elven warlock, pact of the blade, great old one patron (if we're being technical) with a lovely cork accent
he's not quite immortal but his weird powers and his curse seem to have afforded him some strange measure of pseudo-immortality and if it gives him more time in this world, he's really not going to complain
in a past life (or just one absurdly long one), he used to be the cabin boy on a sailing vessel with his older brother (read: pirate ship). other occupations over the years have included: barkeep, mapmaker, fence, a sell-sword, an honest-to-yeehawness cowboy, a glorified mailman (herald), and a part time carpenter. current occupation? temporal assassin for a syndicate, though he's very tight-lipped about it.
he's got a small family — blood relatives are his mother, paloma, and his older brother, ash. but he'll tell anyone that thea is family. and annia too, though he's less vocal about that.
his dating life is...complicated but!!! he's madly in love with the aformentioned (and absolutely wonderful) thea seabright, AND they eloped by the sea and exchanged little tokens of love a few centuries back. he regularly brings her trinkets he finds (seaglass, smooth rocks, bits of pottery, even bits of gold here and there! anything he can stash in his pockets til he sees her next). though his curse keeps him from seeing thea as often as he'd like, he'll always find his way back to her, fight it back to her if he has to. he loves her and always will. little more difficult to pindown but he and annia have...something or could have had something...at some point...idk he's as confused as you are. immortals, amirite?
his sleep schedule is royally fuckt. you've never met a more tired man. but when he can grab some sleep? it's naps here and there, for whatever time he can afford, always in the strangest places. he has a habit of falling asleep clutching a compass tightly in his good hand
isaac love love loves film photos and hand-written letters. his handwriting is atrocious but he's been known to write very heartfelt and romantic letters (he'll deny this to most who ask). similarly, every letter he's ever gotten from thea he keeps bound in a leather journal in the breast pocket of his coat. he's never misplaced a single one, not even the time he was in the path of an errant fireball. dumbass immediately put the flames out and made sure the journals were safe. whenever he is, wherever he is, he makes a point to check the little safehouses and safeboxes they have around the world, both to pick up things from thea and to leave her notes and little presents. two crows in love.
sand. so much sand. his hair, his eyes, his clothing? sand-coloured and also often he's shedding sand. it's part of the weird magic he possesses or maybe it's part of the curse, we're not sure. but he's a very nondescript and colourless individual. almost completely unassuming, unless you have a reason to be looking for him
he's fairly skilled with herbs (centuries of knowing two very capable women have helped him immensely) and any time he runs into annia, he tries to convince her to make some poultices and things of the like for him, to help ease the aches of his joints. turns out, even near-immortal half-elves ain't immune to osteoarthritis! impacting mainly his hands/wrists (with the right being worse) and also his left knee, which caused him to limp slightly when he walks. he wears wraps or braces, depending on how he's doing.
okay wait one more! he's most often found appearing in the most liminal sorts of spaces. train platforms, gas stations at night, empty laundromats first thing in the morning, etc. and when he appears/disappears, there are always more grains of sand left in his wake. what an eerie bitch we love him
thea belongs to @tazunari and annia to @shutokushintaro (thank u for the ask i love the chance to ramble about my ocs)
#oc: isaac#prophs: isaac#asks#answered asks#niko you know it was nearly impossible for me to pick one single oc right la;ksjd#jester.txt#did i FINALLY remember i drafted these? y e s#oc tag#brynn this had me weeping all day about isaac and thea#tbh this is way more than ten facts but hey! extra fact for the long wait#group: the immor(t)al trio#also i could write about isaac all day long i'm sorry if a lot of these were facts you already knew alskdfj#his favorite of the jobs was absolutely barkeeping#i can elaborate on any of these if anyone wants to know more#(also i say cork accent bc he's a fantasy man but he'd be from co cork if we were talkin real locations)#oh i love him so dearly

#OTD in 1847 – Choctaw Indians collect money to donate to starving Irish Hunger victims.
Moved by news of starvation in Ireland, a group of Choctaws gathered in Scullyville, Ok, to raise a relief fund. Despite their meager resources, they collected $170 and forwarded it to a U.S. famine relief organisation. The Choctaw Indians may have seen echoes of their own fate in that of the Irish. Just 16 years before, in 1831, the Choctaw Indians were forcibly removed from their ancestral…

the uk slang thing was so fun and i (as an irish person) was tryna see how many i knew cause the slang is often similar
wahey! hiya irish anon! how's it going, what's the craic?
there's plenty of slang that's similar enough so you'll get on absolutely fine. do you mind if i ask which region you're moving to? you don't have to share if you're worried about doxxing yourself, it's just so i can tailor some more fun facts for you 💜
#pfh answers#one of my flatmates in uni was from co. cork and bless her she had a helluva time getting used to pound sterling instead of euro
