Only ash is more numb than stone And worse than death is only fear And worse than fear is only duty Which you could not fulfill

Crowley has spent the last two years learning to cope with Aziraphale's absence. So when Aziraphale shows up with no memories, and Crowley is the only one who can help, it's not an easy thing to deal with.

Hi! First off, I want to say how awesome and well-organized this page is. I know how much work it must be to put it together. I do think that the word retired has an air of finality to it, like it's implied that the authors who appear on the retired authors list are done writing THG fics. But they might just have stuff going on in their lives or writers block and that's why they haven't updated in awhile. I feel like there might be some authors who won't enjoy finding themselves on that list. Anyway, thanks for hearing me out. I've enjoyed seeing all your posts.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your perspective! I can understand where this is coming from and did debate on what term to use for categorizing the authors, which is why I do put that note on the top of each masterlist noting the differences in categorization. I, in no way, meant to imply that these authors are never coming back into the writing game! I've seen writers take years off and come back into the writing game stronger than ever. I'm truly sorry if it came off that way.

I looked into a few other fandom blogs similar to this and noticed "retired" being a main word used for authors who haven't updated fics in a while but are active in the fandom or writing but from other fandoms. I've also seen the word "Hiatus" used and debated on that for a while. I'm always open to suggestions and comments like these, especially from authors as you are the individuals most directly affected by my word choices. I never intended to make authors feel upset and tried my best to use more inclusive terms. I chose not to do "inactive authors" series for this exact reason because I did not want someone to stumble upon the list and be hurt by it in some way.

Please continue to share your thoughts on how I can make this blog more inclusive of everyone in the fandom and how I can use my language in a better way for this specific series which is "a blog/writer who has updated within the past year but has not posted a fanfic in the fandom in the past year". Or let me know if the series should be terminated if the idea isn't a good one. I truly thought that by highlighting these authors it may help more people find them and perhaps inspire them to write again or at the very least have a nice few comments to discover one day. BUT if this series seems in poor taste please let me know!

As followers of the blog, or THG writers, I'd like your input on what that series should be called. I'll make the appropriate changes/edits to upcoming releases and past releases in accordance with the results of the poll.

I put the a week timer on the poll and will hold the remaining posts in that series until this poll closes and we decide on a new term as a community.

Again, I am so sorry if I offended or hurt anyone in the community. I strive to create an inclusive and friendly safe for everyone!

Adventures

Went to a parade

Watched a butterfly land unexpectedly on my leg

Went to a church bazaar at my sister's parish

Ate a handmade doughnut fresh from the fryer

Got three books at the book sale

After-dark drive down a country road

Writing

Vague daydreaming about possibilities for original stories

[anidealistatbestburntoutatworst]

oh me,,,, im just thinking about how the sheep started out as a mutual aid group (breaks down sobbing because they were all trying to support eachother when the outside world turned their back on them)

[trevisos]

i think i’m done messing with her face. for now

[copiawife]

sometimes i forget i can write some full-on horror movie shit for my ship when i want to. i never post it because 1. i never finish things and 2. i get worried people will see me as some pretentious edgelord when it's just how my brain works!!

i really think we need to embrace death note as a work of children's fiction for a number of reasons, one of which being that it's quite simplistic in its morality because it needed to be comprehensible to twelve year olds

[knittinglizards]

i think while the story doesn't line up exactly (of course, since the book is like 40 pages in a simple fairytale style and the actual plot has a ton of moving parts and is like Their Actual Lives) nina fits the half that eats the other in the nameless monster book way better even though the book character is called johan. like 1. he is in effect already the nameless one whose identity was swallowed up by hers (through no fault of either of them, not that either remember this at the point I'm at in this rewatch), 2. he seems to have rejected at every turn opportunities to live like. a normal life lol. matches well the 'we don't need names' line, 3. if she had succeeded in killing him like she tried to several times (and he seemed to be like. fine with as an outcome) everyone who had witnessed and could fully understand the worst parts of her life would be dead. except like poppe i guess. which isn't The Same as 'he had a name but there was no one left to call him by it' but similar

When u say Travye has bookkind does that mean he literally wacks his opponent with a book?

A startling reminder for me that I presumably have followers on this blog that haven't read/aren't interested in reading the enormous fic Travye appears in lmao. His main combat strife specibus is bonekind! A behemoth jawbone and a huge femur club, specifically. But against a small number of enemies, or especially for one-on-one challenges, he has a big heavy scripture book on a chain with a metal-bound spine that he can flip and swing to attack or defend. Shitty post-work doodling:

""[Your club] hits the spine of the book with a ring like metal as he brings it up shut and blocks you cold.  He swats your club aside with the weight of it, flips it in his frond and brings it around corner-first, and the fuckin’ thing plows in the side of your thorax like a club, knocks you sideways.

“Fuck!” you say, fair well motherfuckin’ impressed, and get your feet back under you to get your breath.  He’s still holding his book—flips it open, grinning at you now, and flips a page all delicate.  “Thought you used bonekind, brother.���

“Change yourself always like sand in the water, you motherfuckers hand-shaped of surf and whimsy,” he quotes at you, and snaps his book shut.  “Flexibility, brother Makara.  You never struggled with it before.  Think you’ll find most trolls don’t get advanced in age without a few tricks up their sleeves.”

“I’ll show you fuckin’ tricks,” you say, and dive back in with aim to knock his teeth out.

You’ve fought fankind before, and clubkind, and it’s a bit of the two each together, but fuck if he don’t use it well.  Lets you batter and work at him and uses that heavy dark cover as a shield and weapon at the same time, hardly moving off his spot, like a pillar you’re trying to tear down with your bare hands.""

I’ve got a bunch of books I’m planning to read and reread, might give thoughts on them later.

came to the startling realization just now that there are people who actually think light was totally fine and all his evilness came from the death note. ermmm. loud incorrect buzzer

♢  — WHAT CHESS PIECE REPRESENTS YOU?

THE BLACK KNIGHT

You are a Black Knight, the black sheep, the underdog. As the only piece that can jump over others, you can easily get yourself in and out of situations - always catching people off guard with your charisma and cunning. You move in the shadows, trading information with shady people, getting the upper hand through not always good methods. How far do you think this road can take you? For all your charisma or cunning, lies can only get you so far. One day, that mask you've put on will slip, and you'll be left defenseless. But until then, oh black knight, live like there's no tomorrow - because there might not be.

THE WHITE BISHOP

You are a White Bishop. There is something you believe in, be it an oath, a phrase, a promise. It's what keeps the bishop on the diagonal path it takes on the board. You live by this creed and infect others with it. You are empathetic, able to feel others' pain like it's your own, and offer advice or help to them. But be careful, because every bleeding heart runs out of blood eventually. Every leader crumbles to the next generation eventually.

the thing about story mediums is that I don’t consider myself having ‘control’ per se over the best medium for a story. if it comes out better in writing that’s how it’s meant to be, if it comes out better in visuals that’s how it’s meant to be. sometimes there’s overlap like drawing comics or writing scenes but there’s A Reason it ends up one way or another. that’s just how the story comes out.
