#Cosmosgate

[technicallywrite]

Sometimes joining a small fandom is the start of an amazing journey.

Not quite two years ago, I got into a fairly niche ship— a couple of characters who had been on a few episodes of Doctor Who, and had (somewhat miraculously, for two women scientists) been given their own audio spinoff by Big Finish.

I am, of course, referring to Kate and Osgood of the new UNIT series.

They grabbed my imagination and spurred me to start writing fanfiction for the first time in my life.

A little story called “My Cosmos Is Yours”.

It was just supposed to be a one-shot, then as I wrote, it grew into a handful of chapters. When I posted them on AO3, the response from fellow shippers was so enthusiastic that it motivated me to develop the story further, so I started adapting the audio adventures, reworking the episodes into a more continuous narrative supporting the ship’s development.

Long story short (NOT), the darn thing has snowballed into an ongoing epic longfic (52 chapters and counting) with a cluster of short satellite stories and a four-chapter prequel, amounting to over 500,000 words so far.

This monster has accumulated a contingent of regular commenters, and a few other fic authors have written stories based on it— fanfic of fanfic, which is delightfully meta.

Along the way, I’ve met a whole bunch of really lovely fellow shippers; on AO3, on Twitter, on Tumblr and in the Osgays Discord, some of whom I’ve since met IRL at conventions. It’s been an incredibly fun, heartwarming and rewarding experience.

And today… Oh my goodness. Today I received the most extraordinary gift.

A gorgeous hand-bound edition made by @colourmestoked04 of the first eighteen chapters of my story, with illustrations by @kowarth and personal notes from the Osgays interspersed through the chapters.

I am stunned, speechless and most of all, impossibly grateful.

To everyone who ever encouraged me to write: thank you.

I can’t wait to write some more.

I am a deeply insane possibly starved duck and I just posted a new chapter so… y’all know what to do

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

New Osgood fic for your consideration

No spoilers for the current season, this is set during last season's finale (LoRS/EoD).

Do you ever wonder where Osgood was when everyone was getting dusted at UNIT HQ last season, and what happened to her?

I might have written a thing.

It's an angsty two-part mini-fic and part 1 is out now at an AO3 near you.

It's set loosely in the future of my Cosmosgate universe, but it can be read completely independently of that. You don't even have to be an Osgate shipper to enjoy the emotional devastation.

Maximum angst on this first one, to be clear; all angst, no fluff, just punch punch punch and then I kick you in the gut for good measure.

Enjoy?

Cosmosgate Chapter 17: Run!

Now that it's top secret is declassified I can present a previously exclusive illustration of poisoned Kate Stewart and artificially terrified Osgood.

Inspired loosely by Bill Gold's poster campaign for "James Bond: For Your Eyes Only"

Having a hard time sitting still while waiting for the new Doctor Who episode?

Ask your doctor if AO3 fanfic is right for you.

Shameless plug while I’m at it (freshly updated ICYMI)

REDRAW!!!

original:

NEW AND IMPROVED:

crazy that these are like a year apart or smt

recently greyscale has been where I'm at, probably bc it's how I mostly draw when I draw traditional?

In anycase I prefer the quality and likeness on the new one :)

cosmos really captured my creativity /pos

(also if you saw this before, no you didn't bc I have no tech skills 😎)

Cosmosgate update — Ch. 55: Say it with a song

Kate has opened up to Osgood about her romantic past, but Osgood missed her chance to tell her how *she* feels. Will she get another chance before the night is over?

So much fluff, gosh. And a bit of humour, hopefully. Enjoy it while it lasts.
