Hi. Those gifs are from a series called Queens of Mystery and I beg you to watch it

Well that sounds like fun!! I’ll definitely be watching it! Thank you for recommending :)

Alright everybody (all three of you who see my posts), you heard @monstrvosity, they’re begging

(referring to this post, for those who are curious)

Queens of Mystery doesn’t seem to lean quite as hard on the magical realism, but damn if it doesn’t share a lot of aesthetic elements with Pushing Daisies

[beawritingbooks]

I just started watching “Queens of Mystery” and I am obsessed!

I am in love with this show! It’s like a non-magical, British, “Pushing Daisies.”

[leotanaka]

does the good omens theme sound like the queens of mystery theme to anyone else? like, i know i’m not imagining this. they really do sound almost identical.

QUEENS OF MYSTERY HAS NARRATION LIKE PUSHING DAISES AND APPEARS TO EXIST IN THE SAME KIND OF KITSCHY WORLD AS PUSHING DAISES STILL WAITING TO SEE IF EITHER NECROMANCY OR PIEMAKERS EXIST EITHER WAY I'M TEN MINUTES IN AND IT'S AMAZING EVERYONE WATCH IT

2022 fic year in review

Total number of completed stories: 40 (woah!)

Total word count: 63,861

Fandoms written in: Death in Paradise, Father Brown (2013), Ghosts (TV 2019), Lewis (TV), MASH (TV), Midsomer Murders, Murder in Provence, New Blood (TV), Our Flag Means Death (TV), Queens of Mystery (TV), Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (TV), Shetland (TV), The Brokenwood Mysteries  

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected? Definitely more fic and in so many more fandoms than I expected.

What’s your own favourite story of the year? This is actually really hard for me to decide because I played in so many new playgrounds this year and each playground has its own ups and downs. One I really liked and thought was rather clever was Just a Literary Device  (New Blood)

Did you take any writing risks this year? Oh lord, yes! I wrote more crossovers than ever: Death in Paradise/Shetland, Ghosts/Shetland and kinda Shetland/Van der Walk. I tried and failed to do NaNo, but learned a good deal. I wrote the first two fics in a fandom, which I found wild. I finally wrote a bit of the Robbie Lewis’s son/James Hathaway fic that I have always wanted to write.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year? I want to finish Hearts (Shetland series) and give it the ending it deserves. I am working on a couple of fics for the Shetland Fic Fest. I also want to finish the Death in Paradise/Shetland casefic I started for NaNo. 

Most popular story of the year?  Of Reed Warblers, Cloud Gazing, and Butterflies (Ghosts) by Kudos, Don't Hide Your Love Behind a Hardened Mask (Our Flag Means Death) by Hits, and The Young Perez-Hunter Chronicles (Shetland) by Comment Threads. The last might be a little unfair since that is a Shetland fic and the fandom does tend to have full conversations in the comments. <3

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: It is a tie between Provençale Quiche (Murder in Provence) and Just a Literary Device. I get that these are tiny fandoms, but I actually quite like both of them and would love to see both fandoms grow. Plus, they are vastly different fics, but I think they both have some merit and lovely moments.

Most fun story to write: Als een feniks uit as gerezen (Shetland). I loved learning some Dutch and also creating a partner worthy for Billy was fun!  

Most unintentionally telling story: when i look at you… and i look, and i… and i’m home (Death in Paradise) As someone who has struggled to accept her sexuality for about a decade and only started telling people that I am Asexual, Biromantic in the last 18 months, I think that this was the most telling. Making Neville Demisexual was actually really scary for me cause it oddly felt like a confession. I am not sex adverse and write sex scenes infrequently, so it seemed like I was setting myself up for being called a hypocrite. However, that has mostly not happened and I am so happy about that! Being Ace/Biro is hard enough in real life, I really didn’t want fandom coming at me too.

Biggest disappointment: Not finishing NaNo. I am the type of person that when I set myself a challenge I finish it, so that was a rough failure for me. 

Biggest surprise: That I actually wrote in THAT many fandoms!! It is crazy to me. Also, that all but two of them are tiny fandoms, so while nothing was viral or blew up I have been getting Kudos almost every day. That is huge for me.

Um, since @greenapricot tagged everyone that I would have tagged, I will skip tagging for now, but if you see this and want to do go for it!!

Fun fact, this whole episode inspired the 'sleazy nightclub manager' Izzy/Lucius fic.

I love Queens of Mysteries but it has a slightly Hallmark Movie vibe in that half the town are working in folksy jobs that sound romantic to people but are really hard to make a living at, and somehow they all make enough money to own property and cars. One aunt is an artist. Does she sell anything? Get commissions? We don’t know. Another aunt owns a book shop that is open sometimes. She sells about as many books as Azriphale. Even the menacing raven sells his Freeform knitted textile sculptures at the local farmers market and somehow owns his own windmill.

It's in the past

Nothing good comes from bringing back the memories, what we need to do now is keep doing what trolls do: singing, dancing and hugging. I'm sure you will understand.

Here is some lore to introduce the main conflict of my AU "Harmony Valley". For those who don't know the two trolls singing are my oc's Jacinto y Peonia (Hyacinth and Peony) uncle and mother of Poppy and Viva. I hope you like it.

My problem is that I hyperfixate on dramas I really like but then when I finish them I feel empty inside until I find a new to drama to hyperfixate on...
