there she goes again, daydreaming about her future house and how she’ll decorate it knowing she can’t afford a house in this economy ever. and by she i mean me.

From the weirdly specific au prompt list! “my best friend owns a restaurant and you wrote a bad review of it in the local paper so it has become my goal to track you down and fight you” au

ngl this was the most fun i had and the happiest ive been with a fic in a While

“You!”Yuuri shouts, pointing his finger accusingly, voice definitely too loud forsuch a quiet street.

Listen,here’s the thing. Yuuri isn’t a confrontational person. Really, he isn’t. Hehas enough anxiety that just thinkingabout confrontation sends him running for the hills.

“Yes, you!Gorgeous man with the cute dog!”

Yuuri isn’ta loud person, either. He promiseshe’s not. No, really! You can ask anyone who has known him for any period oftime. He’s quiet and non-confrontational and a mess with gorgeous people.

“Come here,and fight me, coward!”

And Yuuriisn’t even violent. In the slightest.His parents have raised him to solve his conflicts by talking, with compassion,and critical thinking. He swears they did! And he’s not aggressive. He hasn’teven thrown a single punch in his entire twenty-three years of life.

“Get yourobjectively perfect ass in here!”

Here’s whatYuuri is right now: drunk on too many beers and upset that Yuuko’s restaurantgot a bad review by an important food critic.

Should hebe doing this? No. Can we stop himself now that he has stomped his way in frontof Victor Nikiforov? Also no. This is out of his hands now. Drunk Yuuri isdriving this car, and Sober Yuuri will have to deal with the wreck when he comesaround.

Blackbird - print edition!

Hi everyone- it’s been a while, but unfortunately I have a very busy and tiring job and haven’t had much time or inspiration for writing recently. However, I have something pretty important to talk about! This is an idea that I’ve been sitting on for a while, but after recent events in Pittsburgh I feel like it’s something meaningful that I can do to make a difference right now.

I am going to do a print run of Blackbird, with 100% of all profits going to support Jewish charities- the Community Security Trust here in the UK, and Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre, in Israel.

Yes, I do mean actual, physical, printed copies- I’ve had so many commenters say, ‘I wish I could have a copy of this fic like a real book’, so this is your chance! I am still researching the best options so I can’t confirm price right now, but it’ll be via an online self-publishing and sale platform which should be able to handle international delivery.

I’ll also be looking for an artist to commission to do the cover- nothing super fancy, but if you have commissions open right now and would be interested in working together on this, hit me up!

More details to come once I have more stuff sorted out- in the meantime please spread the word to people who might be interested, and help keep me motivated to get this project out of the door.

🌈 We are pleased to announce that our store is now OPEN!!🌈

Preorder your very own copies from MUJIGAE ON TICTAIL.

And for Philippine orders, please click here!

It has been such a long time coming but we are truly happy, excited and honored to have taken this journey with all our creators, consultants, and of course friends whose support, patience, and creativity have helped formed this truly wonderful project to what it is at this very moment. This is by us, for you.

“Mujigae” is a fan project dedicated to Seung Gil Lee. So little of him is shown in the series but this project aims to fill in those gaps — put color into a canvas that many often overlook. This is a collection of his life (his alternate lives); his dreams, his goals, even his relationships, told through the colors of the rainbow - the very concept that his (in)famous costume has given rise to.

The book has two parts: the main section being all about Seung Gil, and a second where his “ships” come into focus. Whether you’re a fan of one or both, we certainly have something in there for you.

You can find more about this project in our About page, who our Contributors are, and perhaps find more answers in our FAQs.

Thank you so much everyone for your support and patience, BUT WE’RE FINALLY HERE and we really really hope we can give this boy — this beautiful boy — the love and the recognition he deserves through this humble project.

Hi pickle, I’m a nooby noob artist who wants to sell merch but doesn’t know where to start. How did you get into it? Any words of advice?

Hi anon!

Ahhh that’s so exciting! c: hmmm, in my case I started with stickers and prints since they are relatively cheap to produce! so my advice would be to start small and see how that goes! 

it’s also important to familiarize yourself with your country’s postal service! what fair shipping fee should you use for local and int’l orders, what the shipping requirements are (would you need customs form? special envelopes? etc!), and research on how to safely package orders so they won’t be damaged during transport (tougher mailing envelopes could also weigh more so take that into account!). c: 

if you want to start with producing charms, enamel pins or other high cost merch then that’s fine too! but you have to understand that these types of merch would need bigger investment from you since they need bigger capital. and you need to prepare yourself to learn to accept when things don’t go well. (I’ve had to shell out extra $$$ when samples are wrong and would need adjustments! and some things don’t sell as well so losing $$$ and not breaking even happens.) everything is a learning experience! c: 

I think the most important is to try it out and see if it’s something you would enjoy doing! the whole process is incredibly tiring, from designing to looking for suppliers/manufacturers, to setting up your shop, to advertising your wares, to packing and eventually shipping, but it’s all very rewarding! 

good luck good luck!! I hope everything goes well for you! c:

On the AO3 all these years later

The tenth anniversary of the OTW and all the AO3 discussion going around this week inspired me to go look at astolat’s original post about creating an An Archive Of Our Own, and found my comment on it:

“I think this is needed and long past needed.

There are of course huge fanfic archives out there like ff.net, but the bigger and more public the site, the more restrictive it is, the more stuff around the edges gets cut off. I don’t WANT the public face of fanfic to be only the most easily palatable stuff, with the smut and the kink and the controversial subjects marginalized and hidden under the table.

And I particularly don’t want to see us all sitting around feeling frustrated while this fabulous community is commodified out from underneath us.

I’m not fit to be a project manager, but I’m great with details and general organizational work. If someone takes this and runs with it, I’d love to help.“

Eleven years and rather a lot of volunteer-hours later, I stand by every single word.

I just discovered there is a small subreddit dedicated to google-translating (and actually dubbing, very professionally!!) the Star Wars movies and occasional SWR episodes from english into chinese and back into english again, making the subtitles change ridiculously, and it’s positively the most hilarious thing I’ve ever come across since I saw the LotR post about a similar thing, here are some highlights:
