A Mary Poppins fanfiction?

A Doctor Who x Sherlock crossover. Welcome to 2012 Tumblr

More Adventure Zone fics than I would expect

A fic for The Martian. If you were here for the series of asks about the Martian, you't get why that excites me

How To Train Your Dragon x Rise of the Guardians crossovers. I'm having flashbacks to middle school.

Formula 1 RPF. I'm not particularly surprised.

The Dresden Files?? What are you doing here?

I'm new to this community (? fandom(?, and I just somehow managed to get the @elijah-baley URL. I was just wondering, because i supposed it was already taken, if you guys didn't had some sort of agreement not to use it or something like that, I do not wish to disturb anyone or the community. I have been lurking for a while and it all seems so nice and peaceful!! Anyways, have a nice day/night whatever, a nice timezone :D

Hello @elijah-baley and welcome to the tiny lil fandom :D thanks for the ask!

I don’t reckon there’s any sort of agreement around handles—it’s likely a first-come-first-serve, use-whatever-is-available situation (paging those with “official” handles @daneelsolivaw @c-fe @chetterhummin for confirmation, they’ve been here longer) There's a bunch more peeps of course, everyone feel free shout out and say hi! 😁

A bit about me:

I’m Angel (weird/stupid name I know, but it is mine) or AC for short 👋

I’m up for bants & rants about anything Asimov, speculative fiction, games, tech, science, etc. (and will respect your opinion/feelings if you enjoy something I don’t, say, the IRL hyperwave drama or the writing of DBH).

Currently: playing Outer Worlds, reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, worldbuilding (illustration + design + code + writing) for a Web3 creative project about space colonists 🚀

[genuineformality]

A, B, N, R and Y for the fic meme! <3

Ask games! You too can ask me questions for which I will give excessively long answers.

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

In Six of Crows, I'm really pleased with The Lies We Tell Ourselves, which I wrote for the SoC Mini-bang, which wound up being a lot more challenging than I thought it would be, since 3000 words isn't a lot and I picked a topic and a title for the fic before I had a plot. I wound up reworking it a few times before I finally published it (or even handed it to a beta), but I love the flow of it and the understated arson.

I wrote a bunch of Potter fic a million years ago (according to FFN, I was fairly active in 2005, so 17 years ago 😱, which in internet years may as well be the cretaceous period), and I wrote a weird little outsider POV about Snape that I still have a lot of fondness for, even though it's not something I would write now.

(I have a lot of very complicated feelings about Harry Potter, JKR, identity as a Jewish enby and how utterly unkind JKR has been to my intersections of identity, formative fiction, etc. I'm glad for the friendships I made in that fandom and don't regret the time I spent in it, but I'm more than content to leave it behind.)

(More behind the jump. Like, A LOT more.)

B:  What was the first fandom you read fic in?  Which was the first you wrote fic for?

Reading: Almost certainly X-Men. I was on an X-Men fandom message group in the late 90s/early 00s (now defunct and I'm pretty sure the entire archive was blown up in some early 00s internet drama). Nightcrawler has been my boy ever since I learned to love comics (although I find comics to be a difficult medium to read for a variety of reasons).

Writing: I've been writing fanfic longer than I've known what fanfic was. I've definitely referenced my love of Andre Norton's Scarface and the various stories I wrote for myself in that book. I wrote some Valdemar fanfic in the 90s that I never let see the light of day. My first original fiction as a tween/teenager was heavily inspired by Andre Norton's High Hallack novels (The Crystal Gryphon especially) and Norton's Dipple novels (Night of Masks still gets a reread every few years).

Published/let anyone else see: X-Men, again on that now-defunct message group. It's probably for the best that those stories have disappeared. I published one of the only ficlets I had a copy of on FFN, but the rest are lost to time.

N: Any fic ideas brewing that you’d care to share?

You are certainly the person I natter at the most about projects, so none of these are likely a big shock:

Wylan Grieving Matthias Religion Continuing Inej's Modern Anti-Slavery Ops (this is what I'm working on right now) Yentl Fix-It (y'all motherfuckers need polyamory) Deus Ex Character Study (losing the majority of your body and having it replaced by cybernetics is traumatic, yo) Bucky Barnes Character Study (Trauma. It's trauma all the way down)

R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?

Andre Norton was foundational and formative for me, and the more I write, the more I realize how much of how I shape stories is directly influenced by her. She wrote deeply sincere, tightly paced adventures about misfits and people who did not belong in fantastical places and while a lot of her writing feels very dated at this point, there's so much sincerity and heart in what she wrote. As a cripplingly sincere misfit myself, it's pretty clear why her work speaks to me.

Other writers of note whose works are constant companions and if we are ever talking, please know that one or more of these is never more than a couple of conversational jumps away: CJ Cherryh (Downbelow Station), Neal Stephenson (Cryptonomicon), Ted Chiang (Stories of Your Life and Others), Becky Chambers (Wayfarers Series), Martha Wells (Murderbot)

Y: What are your thoughts on your personal satisfaction with something you’ve written vs. the popularity of your stories?  Do you tend to be most satisfied with your most popular stories?

I've been in this iteration of my fanfiction career for *checks notes* five months and have published very little so far. I'm still gathering data on what is and is not popular, but I have a small data set with which to work now.

My impression of the SOC fandom is that canon-compliant-ish stories are generally more popular (or at least get more clicks), but I'm also still building a reputation as a writer in this fandom. My first stories were a modern AU (and kind of a weird one at that), but it's hard to tell whether their lack of traction was more about their subject matter, my writing style not clicking, or just that no one had heard of me and therefore had less investment in checking out what I'd written. I am noticing that having more recent fics is driving traffic to some of the older fics now, and that's really interesting to me; apparently there's enough interest in my writing (style or subject matter - unclear), that readers are interested in seeing what else I've done.

I'm a giant data nerd and I'm finding the ways that fandom popularity ebbs and flows really fascinating; my last fandom forays were significantly less social-media driven (largely because these particular social media platforms just didn't exist).

The relative popularity of my fics is not a driver in my personal satisfaction of my fics, although as someone who is chronically dopamine deficient, every kudos and comment is giving me life. I really love Exit Strategy, for example, but it's by far the weirdest, least popular fic I've written for this fandom (second only to The Cleaning Lady, which is currently winning the award for fringiest, least popular fic, which makes sense because it's fanfic of a modern AU fanfic, and if I wanted to distill the circumstances under which a fic could be overlooked in an otherwise popular fandom, I couldn't have created more ideal conditions).

[nullconvention]

Talking about cyberpunk hasn’t really made me any friends because, first, most people don’t like turning their hobbies into homework and, second, my analysis doesn’t mesh well with the fandom consensus of cyberpunk as a critique of capitalism specifically.

I think people want a genre of their own. I think that people want a genre that they can settle in with and trust that the work is in line with their ideals and they won’t have to think too hard about what they’re reading. They want something the right can’t take from them or lay claim to - and unfortunately, there’s a huge amount of cyberpunk that’s enthusiastically right wing libertarian, including Stephenson’s work. It’s very difficult to read Snow Crash or Diamond Age or Cryptonomicon and not see the idealized right wing politic, Orientalism, and general racism and sexism. (Orientalism being a consistent problem across the genre, natch.) Gibson’s politics are resolutely neo-liberal. He can see the problems in our world and the solution in his books is to make peace with that.

The good news is that science fiction is well suited towards leftist writing and that there are overtly leftist scifi writers. Cory Doctrow seems to largely align with those values, and Gibson is still a good read. There’s afrofuturism as a literary movement, and you can invest yourself in Le Guin and China Mieville  write leftist stuff. The future is still ripe for imaging and if I can be perfectly frank with you, cyberpunk is a zombie genre. New cyberpunk is largely zombie literature - not exclusively because there are always exceptions, but the vast majority of it coasts on nostalgia and crudely packed aesthetics that are replicas of a description told to a marketing agent.

[cyprianlatewood]

Nine of Wands (Cryptonomicon, 1999) Upright Keywords: last stand, persistence, grit, resilience, perseverance, close to success, fatigue Reversed Keywords: stubbornness, rigidity, defensiveness, refusing compromise, giving up

Several characters in Cryptonomicon embody this card, persisting in their goals despite mounting challenges. Randy, in his determination to decentralize wealth and data using his hacking skills, gets roped into an increasingly IRL battle that ends with him melting down WW2-era gold bars in a cave in the Philippines to keep them from ending up in the hands of a corrupt government official. Alan Turing, both the fictionalized version in the book and the real-life historical figure, faces endless homophobia and adversity, but never gives up in his drive to discover and invent (upright reading). Sometimes these attitudes can take the form of stubbornness (reversed reading) like when Alan creates an elaborate mathematical formula to predict how far he can ride his bicycle before the faulty chain will fall off, rather than simply fixing the chain. On the other hand, this same formula eventually becomes the foundation of his method for cracking the Enigma code the Germans use to pass secret messages in WW2. Of course, they both have a lot of help along the way from friends and collaborators. The moral of the story: lean on those around you for support when you need it, ignore your detractors, and focus on your goals even when things seem impossible.

[pepperf]

Tagged by @bethanyactually, like whom my answers are mostly 'both'. :) I'm, like... pathologically agnostic.

Rules: Answer all questions, add one question of your own and then tag as many people as there are questions.

Coke or Pepsi? Mehhhh... Coke, I guess, but I'll drink either, so long as they're not diet. (That's the real question, right - diet or regular? I feel like diet is in fact not-so-secretly poison.)

Disney or Dreamworks? I have liked and disliked movies from both studios. I've probably liked more Disney movies, on balance.

Coffee or tea? I have coffee in the morning because otherwise I won't be awake, and green tea for the rest of the day because otherwise I can't sleep.

Books or movies? Read a book with a movie on the TV. :P

Windows or Mac? Both. :) That's seriously going to be my answer to about 90% of these questions. I prefer the customisability of Windows, and I prefer writing in Word, but you'll have to pry my iPad from my cold, dead hands.

DC or Marvel? I've liked each at different times in my life. Currently DC seems to be being less awful, but honestly I don't really read/watch either very much. Last comics I bought were Matt Faction's Hawkeye series. Next thing I intend to watch when I can tear myself away from The 100 is Supergirl.

Xbox or Playstation? What Bethany said - I don't play games so I don't really care.

Night owl or early riser? Oh, this is the one thing I am definite on, I'm a night owl for sure. Fuck mornings.

Cards or Chess? I really don't play games. I cannot emphasise this enough. Games are not my thing.

Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate, but I like vanilla too.

Vans or Converse? I've never owned either, I hate their flat soles. And they look the saaaaaaame. Doc Martens for me.

Star Wars or Star Trek? Oh, both. Star Wars was my childhood, Star Trek was my teenage years.

One episode per week or marathoning? I marathon if I have the option, because I have no self-restraint, but I'm currently enjoying watching The 100 week by week and squeeing with people afterwards.

Gandalf or Obi-Wan? Eh... I guess Gandalf. I had more of a sense for him, whereas Obi-Wan was a bit of a cypher. Oh, until Ewan MacGregor, of course... but those movies were so terrible that none of the characters really hold a place in my heart (sorry Padme, you were great, if only you didn't have to fall in love with Anakin for stupid plot reasons).

Heroes or Villains? It depends! Antiheroes, reluctant heroes, villains on the horns of an ethical dilemma... give me shades of grey.

John Williams or Hans Zimmer? John Williams.

Disneyland/Disney World or Six Flags? Not been to any of them, sorry. I have been to Universal Studios and loved that. :)

Forest or sea? Yeah, probably forest. I'm more of a land mermaid.

Flying or reading minds? Ugh, flying for sure, I don't want to know what people think.

Twin Peaks or Northern Exposure? I liked both... uh... god, I don't know. Twin Peaks was more innovative but Northern Exposure was much more likeable. Okay, Northern Exposure. I don't think I could sit through Twin Peaks again, a lot of it was incredibly tedious, even at the time (did anyone actually care what happened with that guy who thought he was James Dean?).

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Lord of the Rings. I'm really not a Potter fangirl. :) However, I prefer HP fanfic to LotR fanfic, and I kind of love that HP AUs are a thing in almost every fandom - although they make more sense in some than others.

Cake or Pie? I made a pie in a cake once, trufax. It was great - cherry pie in chocolate cake. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

You are banished to a desert island, which Benedict Cumberbatch character would you choose to take with you? Ugh, has he ever played a character with whom I'd want to spend an extended period of time? Which one is likely to get me rescued sooner? Sherlock would probably get me killed, and would be seriously annoying in the meanwhile, so fuck him. Um... hell, I guess Alan Turing, because he was an actual genius so maybe he can figure a way off the island, or if not, all efforts will be made to retrieve him because he's essential to the War Effort. And because I read Cryptonomicon once, so at least I've got the start of a(n entirely awkward) conversation (that would go rapidly beyond my understanding).

Train or Cruise ship? Trains. I love trains. And I went on a Nile cruise when I was 16 and had an awful time, a combination of food poisoning, not being allowed to spend much time on things I wanted to see, and the maitre d' developing an obsession with me in a scary way I was not equipped to deal with at the time. He phoned me crying, and then tried to give me all his books in a way that suggested he was going to kill himself later. I spent most evenings with the door bolted, phone unplugged, and headphones on. I didn’t tell my family how bad it was because I didn’t want to make it a big deal, hahaha, so they thought it was funny. Ikd, maybe cruises aren’t bad if you’re not being stalked, but they’re not really my scene.

Brian Cox or Neil deGrasse-Tyson? Sorry, I was a teenager in 90s Britain so I have to go for Brian Cox, although Neil deGrasse-Tyson is clearly awesome.

Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland? I kind of dislike both, they're creepy and unpleasant. Um. Can I choose Wicked instead?

Fanfiction or fanart? Fanfic, but I am in awe of fanartists, I don't think they get enough credit.

The Hunger Games - Books or movies? Book for the first one, movies for the rest.

Be able to see the future or travel into the past? Travel into the past. Seeing the future would be dismal. No more surprises. Boring.

Han Solo or Luke Skywalker? Aww... Han was my crush, so I guess him, but Mark Hamill is just the best.

Lilacs or sunflowers? Sunflowers come out slightly ahead for me, but they're both lovely.

Spring or autumn? Autumn - and thank you for calling it that and not Fall. ;)

Campfire or fireplace? Hmm... fireplace, because indoors for preference, but, again, I like both. Setting fire to things is fun!

Watch a gory horror or a family-friendly animation? (My question, but I'm answering it.) Animation, almost every time - I've come to embrace the fact that I prefer anthropomorphic animals to chainsaw massacres.

No-pressure tagging @strivia, @shinewithalltheuntold, @rashaka, @bending-sickle, and anyone else who wants to play.

Last TV show watched: Agatha Christie’s Poirot (thank you Netflix)

What are you wearing right now: a Deadpool themed ugly Christmas sweater and some black pants and socks that make my feet look like raccoons

Do you have any other blogs / saved URLs: uhh... 4 RP blogs, a “How to Job” blog, a blog I made to make a coworker happy where I reblog photos of cute animals and disney things, and a blog where I host images that end up in fics so that I don’t spoil the fic by hosting the image here. I had another blog last year to host my March Madness fic contest and 2 blogs in the month leading up to Christmas this year. One was FitzSimmons themed advents gifts (one per day) and the other was a blog I used to be the Secret Santa for my coworker who is on my team but lives/works in another province.

Maybe I should have just said “yes”

Why did you chose your URL: It’s a quote from a book I used to love but I tried rereading it last year and now I dunno. It’s Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon, and the full quote is my blog description. It’s also accurate to my life.

Pokemon team: ... I know what Pokemon is, but that’s about as far as I go

Favorite color: probably some form of purple or blue, but basically anything saturated makes my eyeballs happy :)

Average hours of sleep: 3-5

Lucky number: 42

Favorite characters: for the purposes of this blog, FitzSimmons, but there are really far too many for me to list here

How many blankets do you sleep with: Half? I inevitably end up with both of my legs and at least one arm outside of the covers at some  point  

Dream job: I don’t know. I’m lucky enough that for the second time in my life I really love what I do. If I weren’t doing this, I think I might want to try some kind of design? And of course I’d love to get paid to write. Hire me to do the comic relief on AOS! C’mon Marvel! I work cheap :)

I tag @0hcicero and anyone else who wants to give it a shot :)

Things likely never went according to plan for Steve because that wasn't how he approached them anymore. So far along in his life, he hadn't bothered to reconsider whatever became of his plans in a long while. Still, for all his bright ideas, any notions regarding Stephen Strange weren't anywhere close to the planning stage. They were, in fact, closer to complete bafflement than anything resembling concrete.

Until he starts noticing a pattern between his beta, an unusual omega... and eventually himself.

Bucky Barnes had waited beyond his natural life to be with his mate. Given that, one mate was enough. Full triads in the 21st Century were rare at best and completely unnecessary at worst. Hence, what he had was more than he could have ever asked for given his circumstances ad life experience.

But perhaps he had underestimated his chances, or just how far reality could bend to give him a chance at what he'd always hoped for: a triad, between himself, his alpha, and perhaps the most unexpected omega imaginable.
