[inkyquince]

Anyway, this pic from the gangsta manga has been a favourite and gave me such intense Remy and wren vibes that I sent it to quiet and they just screamed

So just wanna write something where they buy a dance from pc to watch together

Six Sentence Sunday! Is a Thing! That I am apparently doing!

I made a header graphic and everything, so I guess I'm committed now. (Well, that and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe tagged me on Wednesday and it made me happy, so...)

I’ve been playing around with a few fanfic ideas since sometime in June, but an idea I had last week has really kept my interest. (I even have notes, and planned scenes, which is shocking for a pantser like me.)

It will regrettably be slow going, due to my unreliable vision (you can read about that here if you’re interested). TLDR: I haven’t been able to really write in the last three years due to a head injury, and I am beyond rusty. But I have to get back to writing, because I’m a writer.

Premise: “What if Baz had succeeded in capturing Simon’s voice in fifth year?” (No idea if this has been done before, but I’m going to run with it…)

Here’s a bit of Baz’s inner dialog as he considers his dastardly deeds. Not six sentences exactly, but I don't think anyone's truly counting.

I made promises to myself. That I’d stop expecting to see him when I entered our (my) room. I’d become accustomed to never seeing him, or hearing his voice, or watching him toss and turn at night, wishing… No, I was never brave enough to truly make that wish, was I. I promised myself the fulfillment of other wishes - all the wishes he so easily thwarted, simply by existing. In fifth year, all I could admit to myself was that Simon Snow was making me miserable. The reality I’d refused to accept then was simple: he’d become everything to me. And I’d despised him for it.

(Tags under the cut)

I'm not sure how tagging works tbh, especially for a first posting, but here are some people I think are really cool:

Exciting Announcement!

*Which will only probably be significant to myself

I have made the vainglorious, selfish, spendthrift, and naively overoptimistic decision to get prints of the Rat Race Chronicles.

Some background information:

I wrote 7 novels averaging about 200k words each over the course of my teenage years because that's what happens when you give a young fellow a laptop with parental restrictions. Highly recommended.

They are TRASH. I was NOT one of the magical 14-year-olds worldly enough to make wise commentary about the state of society. It's a sci-fi YA series about criminal teenagers in a secret country who are in the fight of their lives for no good reason, complete with outdated references, implicit biases, unquestioned worldviews, problematic behavior, bad science, and way too many characters.

I made the mistake of trying to get the first two books published and worked with a vanity press before I realized my mistake. I lost thousands of dollars and saw almost none of it back. It was bar none the worst financial decision I have ever made.

All that being said, I still care about it. It was what my original blog was based on, and it was how I made writer friends a long time ago, and a lot of people liked the janky stories, and I think the ideas have merit. They were just executed poorly. By a stress-addled teenager with no internet access.

I want to completely rewrite the entire thing some day. Cuz I guess I'm a masochist or something.

But I have printed copies of all the other first drafts of my novels. It's always felt like a loose end that I don't have copies of the RRC.

The planned solution:

I am going to reread the entirety of the Rat Race Chronicles.

I will lightly proofread for obvious mistakes and things that make me gag, but I will keep as much of the original bullshit intact as possible.

I will share highlights on the blog here! I'll try to be more active on Tumblr again.

I'm going to format and print the seven books with the self-made covers I low-key love.

Then, once I have the originals lovingly preserved, I will have the headspace to mercilessly tear them apart and restructure everything in a way slightly more fitting of the skills I've refined over the last 10+ years. I've already got that started. Most of what's changed so far seems to be the writing itself, not so much the ideas...heaven help me, maybe I can cut a few characters and plot points.

IDK maybe publish a second edition of everything 60 years from now, who knows.

TLDR: Stay tuned, because the Ancient Texts are about to see daylight once more!

OMG YESSS.

Lying to children is fun when they know you are being ridiculous. When you hold up a carrot like “guys look at this huge Cheeto” and they all scream “NOOOOOOOOO that’s a CARE-OTT!”

“What? No, it’s my giant Cheeto.”

“NOOOOOOO!”

I got this idea at 3am.

No, I won't elaborate further

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
