#pond chat

[spnfanficpond]

Lots happening in the Pond Discord this weekend!

This weekend, both @heavenssexiestangel and @thoughtslikeaminefield are going to be spending time in the discord server! Manta Ray Dean will be hanging out on Saturday just chatting with folks, then hosting competitive writing sprints on Sunday with Admin MJ! (Dean will start off the sprints, then MJ will take over, and they might team up later!)

What time will it be for you?

Los Angeles - Saturday and Sunday 8am

New York - Saturday and Sunday 11am

London - Saturday and Sunday 4pm

New Delhi - Saturday and Sunday 8:30pm

Melbourne - Sunday and Monday 1am

RULES TO LIVE/CHAT BY:

You must be a Pond member to participate. (Joining is easy! Send us an ASK!)

No hate. Everyone’s opinions must be respected. (Ship and let ship!)

No NSFW images or text, as some Pond members are under the age of 18 and we want all members to be welcome. (If chat turns NSFW, we have a whole separate channel we can move to!)

How do sprints work?

The exact number of sprints and length of each sprint will be decided by the host and participants. Be prepared to work on a WIP of your own, but the host has the option of offering a prompt.

At the end of the sprints, whoever wrote the most words in one sprint will get a prize. Whoever wrote the most words in all of the sprints together will also get a prize. More prizes may be given out on the day depending on how things go. If the host brings prompts, there may be opportunities to win more prizes for most creative, funniest, etc. Be prepared to be asked to share your work! You don’t have to if you don’t want to! (Prizes will be chosen from the Pond Prize Pool.)

Where will this happen?

In the sprint channel in the Pond discord server. (You must be a member to be in the discord server. Not a member? Start here and then send us an ASK!) For anyone who hasn’t sprinted before, how it all works will be explained before we start.

I have more questions. How do I get them answered?

Send us an ASK, or ask your question in the discord server (someone will get back to you later if no one is there when you ask)!

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Fox tags along on a smuggling bust one (1) time and subsequently wishes he’d never been decanted.

Well, he’s arrested the perp a lot more than just one time, actually, but that very first tackle into a chokehold and electrocuffs more than sufficed to turn the fates against him - the fates, and Cody, the insufferable twat. They’re not actually even batchmates, the lot of them, and going by numbers Fox was decanted long before them (long as in seconds or minutes, no one actually knows), but Seventeen put them all in a training room together and then stupid kriffing Kote looked him up and down, nodded, and hasn’t stopped calling him vod’ika since.

“Why is one of the Republic’s most wanted criminals asking to speak to you, vod’ika?”, Cody asks, without any preamble, almost making Fox cut the holocall on principle. He would, if General Kenobi wasn’t right there next to the little shit. “And why do I not like his tone?”

Fox has to resist the urge to close his eyes and scream, making do with a deep sigh instead. Force curse the day Cody decided to adopt-nap him, and Wolffe following suit immediately. “Weequay, shifty eyes, stupid fucking pirate bandana?”

Cody’s eyes narrow suspiciously, and Kenobi’s eyebrows raise simultaneously. It’s more than a little creepy.

Fox rolls his eyes so hard he sees stars. “Tell him he can go space himself, unless he wants me to do it for him. And then tell him that if he sends me fuzzy fucking socks again I might just hunt him down and do it anyways.”

Past the slide of the door, Thorn’s unmistakable cackle reaches Fox. And Cody, going by the narrowing of his eyes. “Don’t tell him that, ori’vod, he’s probably into that”, Thorn calls out, gleefully, and Force Fox really should’ve kept this to himself in the first place.

He would’ve, actually, but the constant stream of strange presents into Guard headquarters is hard to miss. It was Alderaanian chocolates, last week, which Fox pawned off on the Shinies. A box from a store with a blacked out label before that, which he launched out the window with burning ears before Thire could get a closer look at it.

“Actually”, Thorn continues, happily, “I don’t think it matters much if you do tell him anything - it’s not like the Commander has been the most graceful courtée, and that hasn’t done anything to discourage our favorite smuggler.”

“Marshall Commander”, Fox hisses, because he’s a pissy bitch, and then, because all professionalism has gone out the window anyways, “This is why Stone is my favourite.”

Thorn’s wounded gasp is lost over Kenobi’s thoughtful hum, and Cody’s patented I’m-going-to-do-something-incredibly-stupid-and-you-can’t-stop-me glare. “That would explain why we have Hondo Ohnaka accosting our troopers about your flavour preferences concerning fruit candies. But the one asking to speak to you is Cad Bane, Marshall Commander.”

The string of curses Fox lets out at that is loud enough to have Mauler stick his head in the com room to ask if everything is alright, and Thorn roll on the floor with howling laughter.

Force curse the day he ever slapped electrocuffs on Hondo Ohnaka, and double-curse the one he threw Cad Bane to the floor with a scissor leg takedown.

People don’t talk about MC needing to wear a magical ring to not accidentally yk cause NATURAL DISASTERS with their powers??? Not only accidentally but without realising???

Diavolo or smthn is asking too much of MC or being a bit too annoying and their other hand slowly drifts towards the ring and they hold onto it while maintaining dead eye contact. Like continue to piss me off hoe I’ll blink and blow a hole in your castle idk

Obv they never do it (or do they?) but the threat is there and it’s a risk dia (or whoever but I’m using dia) can’t take

For the WIP game, I'd love to know more about Command Chat. That's two of my favourite things rolled into one.

Mine too!

All the ones that I find are super short or abandoned- and that's why I am so hesitant to post mine lol!

Command chat is pretty much exactly what you think it is.

For the first chapter, Players consist of: Cody, Rex, Keeli, Fox, Gree, Wolfe, Alpha-17, and Ponds. People are added and removed in further chapters, but I'm not going to spoil those.

Like Landline Across the Galaxy, this fic touches on all of my Posted works and WIPs from the perspective of the commanders. More Crack treated Seriously energy.

And memes.

You can't take my memes away.

Here's a section that I have deem Safe for Public Consumption:

"[FinneganFox is now Online.]

FinneganFox: Guys

[GreenIsOkay is now Online.]

FinneganFox: this fucking jetii won't KaRkInG lEaVe!

GreenIsOkay: Dar

FinneganFox: Thorn even talked to it, AND IT STILL WONT LEAVE!

GreenIsOkay: have you tried taking his lightsaber and throwing it so he has to fetch it like a Massiff

FinneganFox: no i have not...

[TheTrashman is now Online.]

TheTrashman: 9/10 would not recommend

TheTrashman: I tried that with mine and he just looked at me with sad Tooka Eyes

TheTrashman: And then Waxer brought it back all excited

GreenIsOkay: Interesting

GreenIsOkay: Why is it only a 9/10?

TheTrashman: Cause sometimes he actually chases it"

I'm in the final phases of editing this fic, so it was actually a little hard to find a decent section to show off here. Went with something goofy from early chapters, instead of one of the longer more serious sections. Names should be self explanatory from context lol

This is one of the few Fics that I've been able to consistently work on, as of late. I'm hoping to be able to post it soon.

[rabb1ttrash]

no i cannot draw fire

[lukreziaaa]

“So, all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will…

where do you want to start?

[sixtysixproblems]

snippet because I cant seem to finish this chapter. monnk buddy I don't think reuniting all your kamino friends in the same group chat is a good idea

Manta Ray in the discord server!

Coming soon, one of our Manta Rays, @katbratsupernaturalwhore , will be in the discord server, just hanging out!

What time will it be for you:

Los Angeles - Friday 6:30pm

New York - Friday 9:30pm

London - Saturday 2:30am

New Delhi - Saturday 7am

Melbourne - Saturday 11:30am

Our Manta Rays hang out like this in an effort to foster the mentoring side of the community, where more experienced members help the newbies with anything and everything Tumblr- and writing-related. This is your chance to get advice and feedback from people who have been there and done that!

(We also like to just chat with you guys and see how you’re doing as people, so don’t feel like you need to bring only writing problems into the chat. Writing is life, and we welcome all parts of life! Be that writer stuff, personal stuff, or really personal stuff like sex, periods, and poop.)

RULES TO LIVE/CHAT BY:

You must be a Pond member to participate. (Joining is easy! Send us an ASK!)

No hate. Everyone’s opinions must be respected. (Ship and let ship!)

No NSFW images or text, as some Pond members are under the age of 18 and we want all members to be welcome. (If chat turns NSFW, we have a whole separate channel we can move to!)

So, bring your frustrations, your problems, your lack of inspiration, and let’s see if we can help you work it all out!

Daisies

AO3 version

“Some snakes eat birds.” Bacara said, still playing with the daisy he had picked up. 

“Mmh,” Ponds assented, not looking up from where he was curled against his cyare, his head comfortably pillowed on the Marine’s chest. 

He usually loved to talk about herpetology but right now the sun was warm, the grass was soft and he was half asleep in his lover’s arms. 

“I promise to not eat you.” 

Ponds didn't need to look up to know that Bacara’s eyes were shining with that particular light that could rival Cody���s best shit eating grin. It was present clear as day in the lilt of his voice. Ponds still straightened up on his elbow. After all, this certainly deserved an eye to eye response. 

“I think that’s a bit late of a promise.” He leered down.  

He grew up herding three future Marshal Commanders and one GAR-wild renown biter. All of them sass-masters. He knew how to deal with shit-eating grins’ variety of bullshit, thank you very much. 

Bacara laughed. Not the private chuckle that escaped him sometimes, certainly not the amused huff he reserved for more public settings, when he was the always focused Marine Commander. It was the warm, free laugh that shaked his shoulders and made him throw back his head. The one that seemed reserved just for Ponds and that he learned every detail of, committing to memory every instance where he heard and felt it, just like he was right now, the rumble of it echoing in his own ribcage, pressed close to each other as they were. It made Ponds smile. 

“And who said I was the bird ? You're the birdwatcher and I'm the herpetology expert, it should be the other way around. And I absolutely don't promise to not eat you.”

Bacara sneakered even more, smirking up at him at that last part. The daisy weaved between his fingers seemingly completely forgotten. 

“I’m holding you up to that.” 

Oh, that was something Ponds would gladly get behind. But he didn't get the time to continue that line of discussion, Bacara had already sobered down some and was looking at him with eyes full of tenderness, as if he had the most beautiful thing in the Galaxy right in front of him. 

“You can only be the bird. As you said, I'm the birdwatcher, and you're my favorite thing to observe.” He murmured, taking his lover by surprise when he slid the daisy carefully behind Ponds’ ear. 

The latter groaned and flopped back on Bacara’s chest, hiding his burning face in his shoulder. The Marine sneakered again, like a tooka that got the cream. 

“That’s it. No more crappy holo-drama for you. I don't give a kriff if it’s your squad’s bonding time.” 

“There is no escaping the holo-drama sessions, you know it as well as I do.” Bacara responded wisely. His squad’s telenovela viewing was sacred. You could always try to hide from it, but it would only get yourself hunted down. Not that any of them ever tried. “At least, none of them decided that your presence was now needed.”

Ponds whined pitifully at that, swiping playfully at the Marine’s shoulder. Bacara smiled at him, he tightened his hold on Ponds’ waist compassionately, dropping a kiss on the top of his head. 

“If that ever happens, please kill me. Neyo has too much dirt on me and he would use it, it would only be merciful of you.”

“As you wish.” Bacara sighed, as seriously as Ponds. “But I'm sure you would have loved Prince Kirrrza’s love story with Mako, the skilled handmaiden of his rival, Jodne, Queen of Naboo.”

“Ner Kara, I would die for you and fight at your side through all of the Sith's hells in a heartbeat. But please. Please, spare me this torture.”

Bacara laughed again. And even if this time it was at Ponds’ detriment, he didn't care at all. The Marine went back to explain the symbolism of daisies and other meadow flowers in one of the systems he had landed on, like he had been before they went off track. No more holodrama was brought up for the rest of the day, to Ponds’ greatest relief.
