I’ve made a game of “will there be at least one skinny, nearly nude/nude female in the daily deviations on DA today?”
I don’t think I’ve lost this game yet.
Finished another postcard for friend to hopefully pass to Ben Whishaw! I might make the rest of the cast later when this is over if I have the time (but I’m involved in the 00Q Big Bang and such so this might be a while)

now to decide if I will continue my pants free weekend
i think there should be AU’s and then there should be UA’s
because Universe Alterations would be a good name for when your characters are in the exact same universe but you’re altering just a couple of plot points or a few character traits
I was reading this as a flippant comment at first, but it really does seem like a good idea.
I accept your proposal.

Yesterday’s Exalted session in Autocthonia got complicated, turns out Ku was behind a lot of the problems my Starmetal’s home city had been having. Devoutly Artful Dancer is having some trouble processing the fact that he’s met a Divine Minister, sucked the Shogun of Genocide into his brain, and had to leave Autocthonia as quickly as he arrived.
Also the girl he liked kissed him, in a few hours he’ll actually remember that amidst everything else.I completely understand that feeling. Someday Zyden will realize that when he talked with Saturn, he interrupted her to say, “Well come on, I don’t worship the Maidens but at least I know what Saturn does.”
Poor lil Dancer. It is not a nice revelation.
It’s a hilarious and traumatizing feeling.
Simone still sits up late at night in dumbstruck shock that he descended into the Labyrinth and sang a lullaby to a Neverborn and that it worked.
since gay people call themselves flaming homosexuals can pansexual people call themselves frying pansexuals because not only is it like flaming homosexuals but we also have the benefit of a play on words

I wonder if I could get drunk enough to teleport into the future and see all the new pokemon
You don’t know until you try!
I know she is a dual-kithed Flowering/Treasured; her Keeper turned her into a fashion accessory for his precious courtiers and she spent years like that. I know her flower is the rose, and that her Keeper was a Handsome Devil who had whisked her away into a cutthroat political domain where only the lovely survived and no darkness fell.
But… the thing is, I don’t want her to have Striking Looks. She is pretty, definitely, but she has a generic prettiness, and I’m trying to figure out the character herself, beyond her being a heart-broken attention seeker who is so used to being silent that she’s fighting to speak up now. I know she wears all black as a silent rebellion against the Fae she fled from, but… otherwise, the character is relatively flat.
Does anyone have any ideas to add to the girl? Because I’m trying, but picking other people’s brains would be nice.
FUCK YOU UNKNOWN ORGANISM

Kryptaria: Consent in Romance Writing -
Enter the hero, full of someone’s interpretation of masculine charm. (Read: A complete, overbearing dick.)
Enter the heroine, who takes one look at the hero (asshole) and says, “No.”
The hero responds, “You’re wrong. You mean yes.”
The heroine tells him, “Get the fuck out.”
I don’t like the way the standard romance novel does dubcon, because they don’t acknowledge that it’s dubcon. But I do love me a dubcon (and noncon!) fic. I can’t tell if you’re actually curious about what goes on in people’s heads like mine, though, or being rhetorical!
Oh, no. I’m definitely curious!
I can read dubcon and noncon, and I can definitely write twisty and manipulative (Who Takes, Keeps), but when it’s the heroes of the story, it feels inherently wrong.
The people who walk out the far end of a romance novel should come together honestly. That doesn’t mean they need to be nice people — for example, Mercenary is a romance story, in my opinion, and there’s nothing nice about Bond in that story. But it means they have to be honest and respectful with each other.
In Mercenary, Bond never takes advantage of Q, even when Q is drunk or scared or tired enough to hit on him. Bond’s the one who says, “No. You’re not gay, remember?” It’s only with full, conscious, aware, informed consent that they finally end up in bed together.
In Who Takes, Keeps, when Q said “I want to fuck you” and Bond hesitated — didn’t even say no, just hesitated — Q dropped the subject.
But these days, the lack of informed consent between the main characters will throw me out of a story every time. That’s not romance. That’s stalking. That’s rape.
(And this is one of the reasons why I enjoy reading this person’s stuff.)
I spent like the past hour doing this.
Everybody’s busy being excited about there being a trans character in the main circle and the kickstarter going well AND THEN THERE’S ME
Yes keep those Ride charms committed unf
Someone posted this in the Exalted IRC channel, and all eyes turned on me.
I’m a little too afraid I won’t do it justice, no matter how funny it’d be to try writing and finishing this before the Kickstarter is done. D:
If you wrote an actual fanfic it would like make my internet
(*waves* You don’t know me but I remember you from when i was a lurker on the Freedom Stone forums, hi)
It’s tempting but I have finals in mid-June and I’d rather not fail those. D:
(Though, Diamond Does Denandsor has a nice ring to it. And gives me an excuse to write four or five fictions involving the whole circle and make the freelancers cry.)
…isn’t Denandsor deserted, though?
THAT JUST MEANS HE GETS TO SLEEP HIS WAY THOUGH THE REST OF THE SIGNATURE CIRCLE! >:D

How many times has Usagi inadvertently saved her own ass purely because she’s shit at budgeting her money.
