I have officially edited and updated my DP fic recommendation document

I've so far only used it for friends but now I'm wondering if any of you guys would be interested...

#lots of people make rec lists and i sorta feel like i have a lot of the same ones that everyone always does #but also that could just be the curse of knowledge where im like “yeah ofc everyone knows about X Fic!!!”#when in fact maybe they do not :wheeze:#anyway. just wanna gauge if anyone would want it #idk how often ill update the list #i have a shit ton of DP fics on my To Read/Bookmarks and if i haven't read at leaat enough to make a judgment #i dont put it on the rec list #I've been mostly focused on working on getting through my unread book collection at home rather than fics atm BUT #the list is both a way for me to keep track of my fave fics and also when friends outside the phandom wanted a rec i could ask what #flavor of thing they wanna read and then pick something or send them the doc so they could pick #Everytime I work on the list I start thinking so hard about fics I read years ago or on FFnet and I can't remember the names #Or more than a few scenes....#Rip the real ones from back in the day #I'll at some point be making a new pinned post and so if people do want this I'll post it and then link it in my pinned post #so it's easy to find #danny phantom fanfiction #Danny Phantom fanfic recs

in my spreadsheet era

#i have the usual reading book tracker #but awhile back i also made a list of wi state parks that includes park highlights and notes #then i made a tracker for my progress on the ice age trail #and yesterday i added a cute page for the mammoth challenge #this year i also made two separate workbooks to track my physical book collection to note what is unread and where to get audiobooks #and to track my game collection noting games that are unstarted in-progress or complete and notes to spark interest for mood gaming #then there is the whole ass workbook i put together to better track everything going on for my two characters used in the magical readathon #after adding a new readathon and challenge sheet to my reading tracker #oh and i made a tracking sheet for my books read crochet blanket #i swear i'm missing at least one but that might just be the work spreadsheets i have improved or created #text #personal

Potential February reading:

Sylvia's Lovers by Elizabeth Gaskell

These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Princess and Curdie by George Macdonald

One unread ebook

One unread physical book on my shelf

#monthly reading lists #keeping the list pretty low-key #i didn't have any month-specific cravings this time #except 'romance' and 'fantasy' which are both too broad to count as specific goals #found the princess and curdie at the library #and realized it could count for the type of cute fairy tale with a touch of romance i was looking for #once lent hits i'm going to go to town on the books i own #i've got a few that have become lent traditions (i am almost definitely going to read stradling's 'the heir and the spare' this month)#but i also want to read some of the new ones that linger unread on my shelves

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

General Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence

Fandoms: Fire Emblem Fates

Relationships: Felicia & Flora

Additional Tags: Revelation Route, Light Angst, Childhood Memories, Sibling Rivalries, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Friendship, Devotion, The Ice Tribe is loosely based on the Sámi peoples of Norway in this fic, The story is told in a list format

Story Word Count: 5,837 words

Story Summary: How does one become a retainer with devotion as strong as Felicia's?

The answer, she finds, is contained with one-hundred steps. One-hundred steps from ages seven to twenty-one, guiding her forward to claim her place alongside the friend she came to love like another sister.

[Read it on AO3.]

(Note: Due to potential threat of AI-scraping from Tumblr, I have opted to publish the actual text content of this fic only on AO3. Thank you for your understanding.)

#Everybody better read this one (joking)#The formatting from my document to AO3 was just very unkind #Apparently AO3 frowns upon not crushing lists into one big unreadable squishy mess #I mean we’re makin’ a fanfic AO3 not a sandwich but ok lol #Had to go through and manually re-add the numbers myself it took me like 30 minutes of mucking around with it #fire emblem fates #fe14 #fire emblem fates spoilers #FE Felicia #FE Flora #Fire Emblem Felicia #Fire Emblem Flora #fire emblem fates revelation #FatesWeek2024 #Koto Writes Fates

Terribly worried that I masked too much in front of the psychiatric nurse doing my adhd assessment and I won't end up getting the adhd diagnosis after two years of waiting for the appointments

#and now that ive gotten the end of summer 'fuck i have a whole reading list unread and i should have been working on my animation overwhelm'#im suddenly able to remember all the things I should have told her #and i dont know if I'll be able to tell the actual psychiatrist cus she might have made her mind up by the time I meet her #and also i have my driving theory test on Thursday which I have been putting off doing for years cus driving terrifies me #and I don't think I've even seen all of the 800 questions that might come up in it yet #adhd

Me: I have a long TBR list. I should read a new book instead of rereading something I read in middle school.

My brain: It counts as a new book if you reread it in another langauge.

Me, turning away from my unread books: Flawless logic

#you see my traditional chinese copy of Artemis Fowl is an unread book #perhaps I am simply pretending I can read Mandarin to avoid reading off my tbr #tbr list #scheduled #reading humor

my current Star Wars books rating for the 96 novels I've read so far. And Dark Disciple

idk if these are hot takes or if you can see anything but this is where I'm at

#yael is reading star wars #the 'unread" tier is the waitlist for the reading list because I'm like that/books i can't read yet for various reasons #(the glass abyss tempest breaker beware the nameless and tears of the nameless aren't out yet but I'm looking forward to them)#the dark disciple tier is there bacause i don't think it deserves to be anywhere near the others #i DESPISE that book on a diferent level #reading list tier is the reading list tier lol #i don't use the currently reading tier much but it's there anyway #the mediocre/bad books either bored me out of my mind or were pointless and annoying book #tho looking back i do not hate jedi trial that much #did not care is for those that were boring and interesting to me but not bad #decent tier is those i liked/didn't mind that come with a big 'BUT' that made the book bad for me #or those I didn't like but weren't bad books #good are books i genuinely liked but weren't very special to me #fun/devastating is either those i thoroughly enjoyed despite them not being that good (re: ahsoka)#or just fun and emotionally devestating books #and masterpiece are my personal favorites #it's not for actual perfect books but rather those who mean the world to me #other than that there are 80 more books i want to read but haven't made it to the reading list yet lmao #getting there

finished reading another book for this year 🥳

#ok so this is a cause for celebration BC i used to read books daily BEFORE my final year of uni #idk if it was the pandem depression (it is) or due to reading too many journalistic articles for my essays that i had a real reading block #for years!!!!#it made reading an actual become a chore for me #unless i was reading an online novel (couldnt even read fics 😭)#and irl things keep happening one after another that took so much of my personal time that i couldnt even start a book #but as usual i kept buying more books lol i now have an excel file that lists all of my unread books and the number is above 80 #anyway i made my 2024 reading goal to be 28 so that it’ll match my age 🙂‍↔️#i even bought a kindle for convenience #i really love my kindle and thinking of getting one of those stand holder things #also applied 2 weeks off from work in july to have some time for myself before starting uni (masters) again #so hopefully i’ll be able to read more and write more

I have missed the vast majority of the "cozy horror" discourse and like, I'm fine with that because I don't really care all that much about publishing labels and subgenres. But like, I do believe in only using the broad labels if it applies. A book is not Romance (the genre) if it does not have a happily ever after/happily for now. A book is not Horror if it is not trying to be horrifying. Romantic and horrific plots and elements can be part of any story and any genre, but elements do not a genre make.

Anyways, disclaimer done, the point of this post is that as someone whose main genre is fantasy, I love reading about ghosts in non-horror stories. Give me more fucked up creatures and musings on personhood please.

#Like when I do read/listen to horror it's because something in the premise got my attention and that premise is usually identity or magic.#Read a well-praised blog post on the kerfuffle and like.... sounds like this person knows much more than I.#But a single line about how people became anti ''grimdark'' had me thinking about how even though I read the first ASOIAF book and I got #book 2 from the library but returned it unread... there's never been a pitch for that series that got me interested besides ''extremely #popular fantasy series'' and none of the discussion or analysis or spoilers I've seen have piqued my interest either.#Meanwhile I'm not a horror or a thriller person but I will venture into some horrors because they sound interesting.#I love Alice Isn't Dead. I Am In Eskew and the Silt Verses are on my to-listen list. I support Hi Nay on Patreon (although I am behind).#I haven't listened to enough Hello from the Hallowoods to decide if I think it's horror or not yet. Of all the podcasts I've listened to #it's the one that had captured the most Night Vale vibes (and yet is still incredibly distinct!) of having horror elements in a narrative #that I have found both unsettling and comforting.#personal #liveblogging stories #tasker.land/2023/06/13/the-material-basis-for-cozy-horror #<- That's the blog post I read this morning.

Using this to justify my irrational hold-requesting

#ive done very well in Short Books June!#knocked 4 books off the TBR and read 2 manga #working on book 5 #next month is going to be Fuck the TBR List July i guess. which may or may not be a bad thing #i just kinda feel like i want to reread all the books i read in spring of 2021?#like you couldn't pay me to go back in time to then but i did read a bunch of bangers in a row and i want to reread all of em now lol #also i just discovered bookoutlet has some of them...and my birthday is coming up...#anyway reminding myself that i can always send books back unread if too many come out at once 😌 libraries are the best

Got any book/graphic novel recs?

Fling 'em my way. Come on. (Pleaaaase?)

If it's any help, I'm going to lay down some potential genres/keywords I want to explore but probably know only a sample size out of the dozen out there.

Dark humor/satire

Mothering

1940s

Leo Tolstoy

(Any acclaimed classics, I guess)

An author reminiscent of Woolf

Platonic love

Any essay collection about love

Similar to Adrian Tomine

#long shot i predict but i want to pay close attention to this list in the future #i am looking for books that will change me the way my past reviews have (both drafted and posted)#there's a couple more unread ones in my kindle library too but let's pretend it's non-existent #corny reads #for later #the keywords might be of little help but it's on purpose #every reply could be a different rec

i do like going to college (at least for now lol) but the way it has rewired some of my thought processes is actually very jarring

#i usually have a never ending list of work for every class. i can reach 2am and still not have finished them all #today though i finished all i had planned to finish quite early #and my thoughts were: wow i finished early. i guess i could go to sleep but i'm not feeling sleepy yet?? what do i do now??#like. i forgot i have. actual hobbies. interests outside of uni. stuff i could do #you know. read. write. draw. watch tv or movies #like. girl you have an entire row of unread books you could start on (leisure ones not class reading)#and when i remembered it just kinda blew my mind like. wdym i forgot i can literally partake on leisurely activities #oh my god this semester is consuming me. i need to breathe a little. wtf #sara talks nonsense #college

Ok so what if I read Hamlet again for the sole purpose of writing a Supernatural allegory?

#What if i read the unread 38 books and endless list of marked for later fics #What if i finished the baby book for my niece #Ughhh X(
