As Tumblr celebrates 10 years since DashCon, I thought I'd remind you all that ND Stevenson was there, had to moderate his own panel when the moderator didn't show up and ended up crashing on a sofabed in the Nightvale crew's airbnb.

(reminder that ND Stevenson has since transitioned, screenshots and articles below include his old name and pronouns)

ND has since deleted his tweets about it, but they are archived in some articles about it so here are tidbits and lore...

this tumblr post gives the context for that and why it's funny but the gist is: nightvale star + nightvale writer + ND Stevenson all making fun of dashcon

But the real question is, did he get an extra hour in the ball pit? 🤔

So now that ND Stevenson got Nimona to finally release y'all know what that means-

I have always loved Molly Knox Ostertag's work, in particular the really cute, heartwarming tact of the Witch Boy trilogy's trans allegory and the way it feels so well built to walk that fine line of appropriately nuanced but still perfectly digestible for its intended teen audience.

Well The Deep Dark is more of precisely that style of writing and it blows me away just as much now as Witch Boy did the first time I read it. It's exactly the kind of book I wish I'd had as a kid, and the sort of thing that lights a little hopeful flame in the jaded dark corners of my heart. It's the sort of thing that helps me feel optimistic about a generation of kids who will grow up with this kind of story as their formative personal mythos.

I know I don't usually do reviews or recommendation on this blog so I dunno who this is for really, and it certainly won't have any particular reach, but if you find yourself with the chance to, I really can't recommend The Deep Dark enough. And of course everything else Molly Knox Ostertag has had a hand in, even the one's she's not been the sole author on.

My sheltered 11yo cishet brother (upon finding out N.D. Stevenson was trans) took all my Lumberjanes graphic novels and and my Nimona graphic novel and covered every time his deadname was in them with masking tape and wrote “N.D.” over them and if that’s not s the best thing an 11yo from the bible belt could do to show his older sister that he’s an ally idk what is

WATCH NIMONA EVERY DAY

I was here in the before times, I was a gingerhaze fan for broship of the rings, read Nimona as it came out in episodes here on tumblr, bought several copies of the graphic novel etc. so I consider myself a hardcore fan.

We had a watch party when the Nimona movie came out, and IT'S FUCKING GREAT, we have watched it every day since and intend to keep up the streak as long as possible.

Anyway you should watch it and when you do, look out for the easter egg of the original style Nimona which appears near the end, when I saw it I was like "MY NIMONA!" which immediately became set to the tune of 'My Sharona' in my head.

I present to you the webcomic!Nimona cameo in the movie:

I love being a fan of things that are completely different!!

I'm offering writing commissions in exchange for donations to certain GoFundMe's for people in Gaza--

I'm Mel. I write a lot of fanfiction, primarily for Percy Jackson, and have been posting for a few years now. Recently I've been getting asks from people living in Gaza who need donations to evacuate or get medical care. I'm not currently able to make such donations myself, but I know how to write, so I'm going to try to use that skillset to help out as much as I can.

How do I request a commission and what will it look like? If you're interested in commissioning me, you can DM me (not send an ask) to let me know what you're looking for. I write a lot of found family and platonic relationship stories but I'm flexible. Once we agree on content and length, I'll get to writing. I'll send you a PDF of the finished product and, if you're okay with it, post it on AO3 as well.

How much do commissions cost? My baseline is $10 per 1k words. I don't feel that anything less than that would be a productive use of my time (except maybe in the case of a very long fic). If you are able and willing to pay more than that, it would be greatly appreciated. You will pay by donating the agreed upon amount and then forward me the email receipt.

What fandoms can I request fics for? Below is a list of fandoms that I am familiar enough with to write for. I would also be open to writing original works or nonfiction, if anyone is interested.

Main fandoms (have written for and participated in extensively)

Percy Jackson (and other Riordanverse books)

Our Flag Means Death

The Raven Cycle

The Hunger Games

Pokemon (the anime specifically)

Some other (mostly small and weird) fandoms that I could write for

These Thems (YouTube series)

Magic Tree House

Magic School Bus

The Scholomance trilogy

The Penderwicks

Heartstopper

Lumberjanes

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Firefly (TV series)

Little Women (or other Alcott novels)

Some fics I've written below the cut, so people can get a sense for my style:

A trans!Ash Pokemon fic ^

Some early interactions between Beckendorf and Drew from PJO ^

Deleted scene from These Thems webseries ^

Bianca di Angelo and her boarding school buddies ^

Reblogs are much appreciated!
