An Incomplete History of Protest: Selections from the Whitney’s Collection, 1940–2017. Exhibition closes Aug 27, 2018. X Through the lens of the Whitney’s collection, An Incomplete History of Protest looks at how artists from the 1940s to the present have confronted the political and social issues of their day. Whether making art as a form of activism, criticism, instruction, or inspiration, the featured artists see their work as essential to challenging established thought and creating a more equitable culture. Many have sought immediate change, such as ending the war in Vietnam or combating the AIDS crisis. Others have engaged with protest more indirectly, with the long term in mind, hoping to create new ways of imagining society and citizenship.

AU Fanfiction Projects on AO3

Shameless fanfics:

Doomsday Blues - series

**currently down for maintenance**

This fic is not abandoned, ever. It's far too personal and at times I use it as an outlet for the thoughts I have that'll eat me up, if I don't get them out of my system. But. I'm not sure it works in its current form. I think I need to tear it into bits and pieces and reassemble something new. Probably it would be better as several independent stories than just one long one. I'm also unsure if it even works as a Shameless fanfiction. So it'll sit in my docs, while I figure things out.

The story of a demon summoning gone wrong and the consequences for Chicagoans, especially two families in the South Side.

Work: By the Pricking of My Thumbs - AO3 - Spotify playlist

Work: A Finnish Knife Strikes - AO3 - Spotify playlist

Very long, very self-indulgent and very, very weird. I've done absolutely nothing to reign in my weird and pretentious self while writing this, so it's ... a lot.

Writing this particular story is cathardic for me and in some ways I use it to deal with a lot of bad shit that has happened in my life and with my own mental illness.

A lot of angst, a lot of dark humor, and a lot of smaller stories weaved into a big one.

Inspired by works of: Mikhail Bulgakov, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Avram Davidson, Nicholai Gogol

and

Folk tales from Eastern Europe and Ireland, The Key of Solomon: Ars Goethia by Alastair Crowley

Ian Gallagher and the Amazing Intelligent Machines

One shot, currently being written, but very, very slowly.

Sort of a Shameless/IT Crowd - crossover

A beautiful love story between a mentally ill man and his microwave oven.

It's as stupid as it sounds.

Inspiration: My own irrational fear of machines.

The Masochist's Cookbook - Spotify Playlist

The story of how Ian Gallagher met his family.

I never write anything but AU stories. This one takes place in the entirely fictional town of Arson, Illinois in the year 2000.

I've never written a whump before, so it's also a challenge to myself. I'm really good at creating problems, but solving them.... It's a journey.

Inspired by: All the high school tv shows and movies.

Outer Banks fanfics:

Bromancing the Stone.

I've always loved the action-adventure aspect of the show and wanted to expand on it, but aim for a story more akin to the likes of Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone, The Mummy (2001), Pirates of the Caribbiean, Treasure Planet, The Princess Bride.

You know: Fun, romance and fighting. No major character deaths planned. (Seriously wouldn't do that in a swashbuckling adventure. It's been 30+ years and I'm still pissed about Rufio.)

Right now, it looks like it's going to be set in the late 1930s or early 1940s, but it most definitely will have the historical accuracy of a Disney movie. So racism and homophobia isn't a problem.

But probably nazis. Irredemably evil nazis. It'll give me an excuse to dust off and hopefully improve my terrible german.

And the story is going to be gay.

I'm trying to make it light, but I'm a silly person, not a fundamentally happy person, so it probably won't be angst-free.

I'm still plotting out the storyline, but I'm hoping to start uploading material before the year is out.
