Law & Order "Surrender, Dorothy"

Dorothy

[theamericanfriend1977]

"I'll be your brother, and your father, and your lover, and your landlord, and your dealer, and your teacher. And your lover, your lover. It'll be so much better then. I'll be your everything. And all you'll have to be is my Dorothy. Won't that be nice?"

Hello! Hope you’re well. I read all of Surrender Dorothy today TWICE after discovering it for the first time. Just wanted to drop by and say it is absolutely amazing and such a masterpiece of a fic so far!! Trying to predict what elements of the show will emerge in the do over timeline and which elements of the show might not exist anymore is such fun! I will eagerly devour any update if you are ever inspired to release a new chapter 😊

So sorry for the delay in answering! I don't get on Tumblr much, so I just saw this now.

I really appreciate your kind words (as well as the reminder that this story exists).

"WHY?" is the most important question to me when it comes to character choices and backstory. I need to interpret the purpose of past events in order to understand exactly who the character is now - even in a story like this where the past...you know. So, without getting too spoilery, I can say that I put a lot of thought into outlining this fic, and found creative ways to incorporate canon events and characters into the storyline when they could serve a purpose.

Man, I really need to buckle down and start writing again, because this Ask just made me so excited to revisit this story! Thank you so much!

I held a ghost,

and it slipped through my fingertips,

I’ve lost all hope,

I want nothing to do with this

She's Been Waiting - A Song by Paula Walowitz

At a festival last year, my wife and I showed up a few minutes late for one of the group rituals. We walked into a room full of people singing, found some free seats, and tried to follow along. I had never heard the song before, but I knew it was one I didn’t want to forget. When it was over, I wrote down the lyrics as best I could remember. Unfortunately the melody faded pretty quickly from my…

bro called an aperol sprizt “a pint” (X)

A MSNBC anchor calling that drink a “pint” while taking photos of the book they’re writing about how “TV used to be a communal experience” is basically 1000% what I picture in my head anytime I hear about this bluesky thing.

Movie character: *does a problematic thing*

The same movie character: I will now spend the last third of this film's run time facing consequences for my actions and explaining to the audience that even I accept that what I did was wrong and that I am remorseful and trying to grow.

Teenage baby transes: This movie is literally problematic! The main character literally does a problematic thing! Personally? I would have simply not done that! Nothing I've ever done is wrong! And I will never grow!
