Tagged for the last line meme by @inkpot-demigod!

Now as you may know, I am currently working on several WIPs simultaneously (but also haven't touched any of them in a Very Hot Second), and genuinely have no idea what my last line was. So you get the last line from the two I'm fairly sure I was working on last instead.

From the next chapter of genius loci:

Daniil didn’t realise that, on the ground, but up here in its paper wings, its twisting rings hum quiet lullaby.

And from a yet-unnamed TGCF fic, an AU wherein Hong-er never fell:

Mostly you do it because you’re petty and it makes you feel less useless.

And I'll tag @kneesntoess, @smallhorizons, and anyone else who fancies taking a go!

Random question for my fanfic writing friends:

When you go to AO3, what’s your total word count?

What happened last time, in 1918? There must be some info on how things opened up again.

Honestly, a couple of times I’ve gone looking for books or articles about recovery from the pandemic and I haven’t really found much. Part of it is I wasn’t looking SUPER hard; part that I no longer have the extended access to a lot of databases I did, like EBSCOhost and Jstor; part that everyone’s writing so much about what happened IN the pandemic that it’s hard to find signal in all the noise. But it’s very rare to read about pandemic recovery. The last you really see of casual, easily-found scholarship about it is the climax of it.  

mr-chatterboxs-column replied to your post “This is a minor consideration in the scheme of things and not a...”

This is so huge, yeah. I know some things can be scaled down or done in a social distancing way (e.g., my orchestra is doing chamber music instead, my circus studio isn't performing but is doing ultra-small no-hands-on-spotting classes), but entire communal art forms are just... impossible, currently. Normally most of my artistic income (as a vague measure of value) is from playing fiddle in established or pickup bands for social folk dancing, and one of my main hobbies is swing dancing. They're both off the table in their most integrated forms, indefinitely. As a musicologist I was already stressed about the trend of modern society towards a performer/observer dichotomy instead of intuitive integration of tiers of participation, and that's speeding up dramatically

Though that might be an interesting key to recovery -- interactive arts and interaction with arts. Broadening that binary back out from performer/observer would be a really good way of reintegrating everyone post-covid, without the risky crush of stuff like massive concerts. Which at least puts one at a starting point in terms of “What could I make happen.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about this as well. I’ve got a few underdeveloped ideas that I’ll probably be writing about in the next week or so.

When you do, if you remember, please tag me! I’d love to see your ideas. 

kneesntoess replied to your post “This is a minor consideration in the scheme of things and not a...”

we went to a drive through cinema (which are not really a thing in the uk) and that was so much fun, tbh. esp because it was lion king, so there was lots of singing and dancing

Yeah, there’s been some of those in the US (they haven’t really been a thing here since the 80s, although they never vanished entirely). I was thinking about those but while they’ve had a revival they still haven’t quite “caught on” the way I would have thought they might.

bail out all the lil museums and historical societies and historic sites and roadside attractions :(   just a lil slush fund for all the Priceless Little Bits Of Local Color that will be gone forever

I actually really like the idea of pop-up “roadside” attractions and museums. I wonder if there’s a way to make that function. (I mean also yes, funding small entertainment business and nonprofits is also something we should definitely do, but I wish I could do more than throw money at it.)

hello! I'm currently filling in the Sign Up sheet for the Secret Santa exchange, but the new Jonathan Sims tag isn't autofilling. I've manually typed out the tag, but I am just a little worried the sign up might be rejected

Hello, thank you for letting us know! We know there is a problem with the autofill and will check the signups, so no worries about being rejected. If the sign-up gives you an error message please check the tagset itself and copy over the name given there.

Last Line Game

Rules: Make a new post and post your latest/most recent line from your WIP and tag as many people as there are words.

I was tagged by @inkpot-demigod, and yes, very mean to tag me right after I posted a chapter, I'm a very slow writer xD (but also I forgive you so long as you forgive me for how long it took me to get back to this, ie: how long it took me to work on fic again, work writing continues to eat me alive rip)

This is from my Daniil breaks the Bachelor route/is aware of save-scumming tactics fic, salvage, whose fifth chapter is currently in its third? fourth? version, god help me xD I promise I'm still working on it. Daniil is just......difficult.

He asks the Inquisitor, once: “Do you remember your deaths?”

Probably can't find enough people to tag as there are words but w/e here we are.

@kneesntoess (gimme that hob fic), @nerugiganon (think of it as an excuse to write more link/ganon), @smallhorizons, @rustchild, @shinyopals (at least I'm not tagging you using Fear & Hunger fic?), @hihereami, @squirrellythief

And if I forgot anyone, forgive me, I'm running on three hours of sleep and my brain is cheese. Please feel free to participate if you want to!

I know you are probably aware of this, but I literally just learned you make collections of bookmarks! which is. intensely helpful

i was not aware of this actually, so thank you!

kneesntoess replied to your post “Just to remind all my fellow Brits that the 20k police officers Boris...”

with the way Boris usually works, they'll never actually happen at all anyway, but he'll keep claiming they did and everyone will accept that, for some reason

Yeah, that is true. But damn it I’m gonna point out his bull shit at every opportunity. 

You’re going to need a degree to be a copper soon. No one is going to get them self into that much debt to be spat at on a Friday night.
