Burn Notice Week! Day 2 prompt: Blown cover

Remember that episode 'Long way Back' when they come after Fiona? It's a bit of a stretch. But you could argue that her cover was an American in Miami and it got blown when her enemies came after her. (or at least, I'm arguing that) Also, I got too ambitious with skin tones. So the bad guy has my usual blur fixing effect. But Fiona has something new to me which is using layers and puting a base color under it.

Chapters: 6/6

Written for Burn Notice Week 2025! Taken from the Day 1 Prompt: “A reputation can be a powerful tool” which is a Michael quote from the show. The premise of the cover IDs being mistaken as dating was from a tumblr conversation and inspired this fic

STARGATE SG1 "Ripple Effect"

some people think that e-rated fanfiction is written with the author in a constant state of arousal, but those people are vastly overestimating the erotic appeal of consulting a thesaurus every few sentences to find another synonym for "thrust"

There is nothing more precious to me as a writer than the comments left on AO3. Whenever I get that email notification, I wonder what kind of comment was left. To have a little fun, I'm going to sort the typical comments into a few different categories and share my reactions to them as a writer.

If you feel I missed a comment type, please let me know. I'm curious to learn what other classifications you think exist (positive comment types only please - let's not make this negative). Also, if you wanted to tag yourself, I'd love you know what type of commenter you think you are.

The Polite Conversationalist - Your comment confirms that you read and enjoyed the fic or chapter. You offer praise for the author's efforts and encouragement for them to continue. - If this is you, please know that I'm imagining us holding a book club together. I brought us snacks.

The All Caps Reaction - You left the most unhinged comment. - You were screaming as you read it? I was screaming as I wrote it. Let's be friends.

The How Dare You - The angst is real. And painful. And I'm sorry but the story needed it. - This is a compliment of the highest order and I'm so glad you left it.

The Conspiracy Theorist - You are so invested that you are trying to figure out what comes next. - I'm so excited to read your ideas. They let me know the story tracks for you. And I'm either smiling because you guessed right and I'm excited for you to read what comes next, or I'm grinning because I know the plot twist is going to blow your mind.

The Catch-Up - You haven't commented in a while and are letting me know you are catching up. - I'm so glad you are back! I missed you. I know life gets busy and it means a lot to me that you took the time to read my story.

The Giggle - You laughed at my jokes and let me know. - Did we just become best friends? I'm already making you a bracelet.

The Callout - You found my favorite line in the chapter or fic. - I love you so much. You just made my day, my week, my month. Seriously, all the love for the reader. xoxo

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

I don't have any fics ready to post yet for multi-may but I sure as hell can drop a gif spam of my OT3 for the first day of it @bisexual-horror-fan

When you're in a group and very much would like to be part of the conversation.

When the chatty kid in class decides to be quiet the one day you didn't do the reading. Now, you might get called on.

When the new hire starts dumping some off-the-wall personal facts. Dear Sir or Ma'am, I just want to have my donut in peace...

It doesn't matter how old you get, but when your parents are saying some questionable opinions, you need to check to see if your sibling(s) are hearing it too!

When you finally get away from Mulder and Scully's bickering, only for your new position to have Mulder and Scully bickering. (Okay, this one was just a treat for myself.)

When you sorta, kinda, maybe agree.

What you really meant when you said "efficient multitasker" on your resume.

(sorry about the quality of this gif. No matter what I did---and know how to do--- I couldn't get it to stop looking grainy. But! I loved him shoving a donut in his mouth too much not to include it!)

When you're having a good time, but then they made it weird.

And we're cheers-ing. Huzzah!

When you're drunk and crying in the club bathroom, and you need your galpals (who you just met in said bathroom) to say 'screw them! You're too hot to put up with that!"

When a third party enters the debate and unknowingly makes the exact same points you just made a second ago.

Work got you down???

My reaction gifs have accidentally turned into some kind of poor man's standup, and I don't know how to make myself stop.

Anyway, this has been:
