I think the next fic I focus on MIGHT be the Silver=Thomas fic and I'm kind of looking forward to getting back into that Silver POV. His mental gymnastics can be so fun to write

I'm on an email list for Penguin Random House where they periodically send out surveys and stuff which is fine but they just asked if I want to do a 45 minute Zoom conversation with them which will be recorded and I'm like. I cannot tell you how much I don't want to do that.

I swear trying to write smut feels like:

His hands were hands and then the fingers were in the hand and the hand was with the fingers and the fingers had the hand in the other hand then the fingers dragged to the hand with the fingers and it was hot

“My favourite thing was a bunch of people made a giant sign that said “How am I going to be an octopus about this?” and held it up during Pompeii at all the right times and it distracted me enough to sing “octopus” instead by accident.”

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

romance story you think is going to be a slow burn except character A suggests fake dating For Reasons and character B immediately responds, delighted, "holy shit you're in love with me" and then the actual relationship plot is A desperately trying to deny this because they have not been allowed their requisite several months to ease into the idea romance is on the cards here for real while B is like. yes i know you have issues, you're very repressed, im tragically into this, but sweetheart. darling. we could be kissing right now.

A keeps trying to bolt from the mortifying ordeal of being known and B keeps yelling no take backsies

by the way there really is something wrong with me. kate sent me a picture of her cat earlier and my FIRST thought was that he looked like james flint

it's actually really messed up to think about how many passions and hobbies that define people's lives and careers haven't actually been around for large amounts of human history, and only emerged in the last couple centuries. you're a cinephile or filmmaker? that didn't exist. you like cars or trains or rockets or planes? didn't exist. video games are like what. 40-to-50 years old in the commercial home system sense. there's only been like, 3 generations since then. the internet goes without saying. oh my god why is it all so new.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Ted Lasso (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Trent Crimm/Ted Lasso Characters: Trent Crimm, Ted Lasso, assorted supporting characters Additional Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Getting Together Summary:

“Oh, fuck it all to hell,” Trent mutters. Ignoring the scandalized glare of a nearby old woman, he raises a hand and calls out, “Ten thousand pounds.” And, well. At least no one is looking at Ted anymore.

When Ted is unexpectedly pulled into a charity auction and Trent bids on him to prevent a public panic attack, speculation arises as to the nature of their relationship. Obviously, the solution is to lean into a fake dating scheme.
