I hope this doesn't seem like a pressuring ask but I was curious if you were planning to finish like a dogless bone? Under the circumstances it's understandable and within your right to leave the fic incomplete but I was wondering if it was going to be completed. And if you choose to update please update at your leisure, I support you whatever you decide and I know many other readers also support you and want you to be safe.

It doesn't seem pressuring at all, anon! Honestly, I haven't opened the doc since that last round of threats and harrassment on Thursday, which is kind of a bummer, because I suspect that was a part of the intent, especially given I increasingly do think those negative comments on Ungodly Hour were probably from the same cohort of people. I do still plan on finishing it though, and am actually even planning on having a look at it this afternoon, so wish me luck! :-)

#i've actually been wondering how much of this is actually about fic #like i have been noticing patterns with the timing of things happening on here coinciding with certain things on ao3 #it's interesting though too y'know #i was thinking last night about how there'll be a bunch of fic posted next week for that particular fest #and i posted back in october when i was pretty naive to the ins and outs of this fandom #that it was weird to me that they'd not allow fic where louis tops when that's pretty unpopular / fic where he bottoms is largely the norm #and y'know i got a bunch of anons even then that surprised me #like they were quite assertive about how if i wanted it the other way i could just run my own fest and people are allowed to #like and write and run the events they want #which sure they are! i agree!#but it gave me a Vibe then and now i'm like #can you literally imagine what would happen if someone tried to run a lestat bottoming fest?#some of these people would go like #reagan-in-the-exorcist about it #any organiser would be doxxed and hurled accusations at and bullied out of the fandom #some of these people couldn't even handle the kinktober fest without spreading rumours about the organisers #and sending me a bunch of faux-friendly anons trying to get me not to participate in it (and i assume other writers too)#like that's crazy #this is FANDOM #and that's a degree of suppression and autocratic thinking that feels frighteningly in line with the current political climate #and the fact that that desire to control and contain what people write and how they write it (and what they read given #they were trying to get all their followers to block me by telling them how to feel about me)#is just #yeah #very sobering #it does make me want to go back and add dog-less bone to the kinktober fest collection though #even though it's january hahaha #fic asks #anyway it was nice to write that little ficlet last night and remind myself that i love writing for this show and these characters #so yes!
