some final “evidence in the epistolary” thoughts now that the fic is done and where the series (dubbed Concentricity, which spell check will NOT stop telling me isnt a real word) will go

really weird to think that, when i started this fic, i had no real idea where to take it, and thought the end was kind of derivative; i pushed really hard to make it feel earned and like a natural conclusion. everyones kind words have made me feel much better about it so, thank you for that :')

this was the first multi-chapter thing i have ever posted in my many years writing fic, reader insert or otherwise, and im really glad this is the fandom i debuted such a 'long form' fic in because i have gotten nothing but support and it means the world!!!!! ily!!!!! i wouldn't have dedicated so much time and effort into refining this thing without everyones comments and asks and such. im very proud of what i put out

(there are admittedly some things i wish i wouldve done differently but it wouldnt be the same story then, so...) (happy to answer any questions on that front if people are curious also!)

the 'yayyy they kissed' is a nice little pin if that is where the audience wants it to end, but it is not lost on me that ford has a true plethora of trust issues down to his core and that isnt going away because someone admitted to enjoying his presence. that stuff takes time and even if i can handwave ford and reader having months of communique behind them, whatever theyve got going on now is new territory and that starts from square one.

ALL this being said, the original idea for "Evidence in the Epistolary" was maybe 3 paragraphs of backstory in ANOTHER fic i was working on back in feb. so now.... i will simply return to that fic to explore what comes next. it'll take a much different shape than originally intended but is meant to explore ford and the reader learning to trust and be patient with one another, in terms of being intimate or otherwise. the plan is to make it nsfw -- we'll see how far i get in this idea since, despite my ao3 track record, i dont write smut often and think its one of my weaker skills. so this will be a fun way to train those muscles! hopefully! maybe?

(there may also be a third fic somewhere in the works but dont worry about that)

it'll be a little bit of time until the next fic is ready to start posting, mostly cause its still majorly unplanned vis-a-vis plot (its currently all vibes), but ill be steadily chipping away at it! in the meantime, i may try to write short things to stay up-to-date in the fandom and continue to get to talk to people about this old man <3 awkward old man enjoyers unite

anyways! as thanks for reading this far and for all the support, here's a prelim preview (subject to change) from the next fic, Kinetic Mixing at Strong Coupling:

You are far from a lawyer, let alone any kind of wordsmith; you work in the sciences for a reason, and that reason legalese makes your head spin and you have never once read the Terms and Conditions of anything. Still, maybe drafting some kind of definition is in order? Drawing up a short contract of sorts, so both of you are on the same page? The last thing you want to do is overstep. The last thing you want is to lose this from an entirely avoidable misunderstanding The two of you had had a lot of those: avoidable misunderstandings. The idea of the contract is not entirely unwarranted… You shake your head a little. What the fuck. Maybe this bad sleep thing is actually starting to get to you. You rip the page from the notebook, take a minute to fold it neatly into a paper airplane, being precise with the creases. Then you squint one eye closed and aim the thing towards the wastepaper basket across the room. It misses.

I learned a lot today from Obviously Queer’s video essay “FEMME: Lesbian History, Identity, Politics and Invisibility” and femmebis’ “The “Lesbian-Only Term” Myth: A Comprehensive Historical Essay on ‘Butch’ and ‘Femme’ ”.

I might know a thing or two about this feeling

[queerpyracy]

genuinely irritated about the prevalence of brother-sister character designs where the brother has a huge nose and the sister has a tiny nose. 1) why are you a coward who hates the joy and beauty of women with big noses 2) have you looked at any real human siblings lately 3) why do you appear to think the nose is a secondary sex characteristic

We're genuinely so brave for the way we somehow manage to navigate cis society never knowing wtf is going on in their heads at any given time
