I'm not sure if it's worth backing up my Tumblr blog to be honest. I didn't really do anything beyond reblog. I'm not a content creator. I'm more worried about losing contact with people I love.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in Him Who sent Me, has everlasting Life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from Death into Life.

John 5:24

[deadly-danaid]

This hunger is out of control,

It's become an ache,

A craving

That claws at my insides...

Begging me to give in,

To feast upon their flesh.

I fight for now,

But I fear the day

This monstrous appetite

Buries me within myself.

Fan Fic Writer Interview

When @possibility-left tagged me a while back for @cheeseplants writer interview game, I didn't feel worthy. I had only written one fic.

But then @missunderstoodlyrics tagged me. And since I've now plotted out a new, long fic and written several chapters, I guess it's time to stop lurking in the shadows and call myself a fan fic writer (not necessarily a good one, or experienced one, but a fan fic writer nonetheless). So here we go: What fandoms do you write in? Good Omen all day long. Never read any other fan fiction (even for fandoms I love). Never written any other fan fiction. How many words have you published in 2024? Ooh, this looks sad. 1,077 in my short bit o'fluff. But I've published millions of non-fiction words since I started my first WordPress blog in 2010. So apparently, like Nina, I have things to say. If you're curious about my typical writing, check out Honey and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Day. It will be relevant to a future fan fic. What is your greatest achievement this year? It's a tie. First, managing to work, feed myself, and care for my dog rather than reading exquisite fan fiction hour after hour and day after day. And second, finding the courage to write fan fic at all despite being much older (and less talented) than the wonderful writers I enjoy. But, at the risk of my anonymity, I have written a few blog posts on the joys of doing new things badly (click the link to find the inspiration for that mantra which also ties into my next big fan fic project). So I guess I have to live my words. What are your favourite top three fics you wrote this year? Well, as a newbie, there's only one published: Will You Ever Stop Surprising Me? In it, Crowley worries that he'll get bored after averting two apocalypses just to find his angel still has some surprises in him yet. It's pure fluff set in a sex toys shop. (And no, I'll probably never write actual smut. At least not if the voices in my head when I'm reading it--are you kidding me? people in their 50s can't kiss from that position!--are any indication. What was your biggest pit of despair moment? Probably haven't seen it yet. But even in the pits, I look for hope. So I guess it was the pit where I told myself I was definitely spending too much time in fandom works when I should be looking for more paid work and taking care of my boat. But struggled to make progress. Then I realized that the long fic I was obsessing over was actually helping quell the anxiety that kept me from, well, looking for more work and taking care of my boat. What have you learned?

That it's lovely to learn from young(er) people. I admire the craft of people as young as teenagers. And the maturity and vision of writers young enough to be my children. It's fine that I don't have their skillset. I'm a beginner, after all. What three fics have you read this year that you love?

Just three? What, are you insane? Okay, since I share faves regularly on FanFic Friday (follow me if you want to be sure to see them), I guess I can limit myself. But You are an Ocean by megzseattle - After reading thousands of words with Crowley crawling into a whiskey bottle after Aziraphale returned to heaven, this fic read like a fresh breeze. Crowley moves to the South Downs on his own and befriends the protective women of the village. Extra points for BAMF!Aziraphale off-screen and found-family joy. A Portrait in Synesthia by DiminishingReturns - God creates the universe over and over trying to perfect it. She wipes out the memories of the angels every time. But somehow Crowley and Aziraphale find each other in each new iteration using their synesthetic senses. It's stunning. Delectable But Not Edible by AppleSeeds - Human AU - Aziraphale visits a Lush soap store where Crowley works determined to sample those delicious looking confections. I laughed out loud the whole way through. And while I love my clever angel, it was very fun to see him being so obtuse--while clever enough to get past the crazy embarrassment any normal person would have felt in the same position. And finally, What ideas are percolating for next year? I'm SO excited by a new fic I'm working on in which Crowley and Aziraphale are sailors who compete against each other in a singlehanded, round the world race. It will have banter, some angst, peril at sea, our boys demonstrate their feminism, and more. I don't think you'll need advanced knowledge about sailing or racing to appreciate it. And I'm using this as an opportunity to bring some events from real life sailing history to a new audience. Click to read a little snippet of I've written so far. And to see some great footage of sailing off Cape Horn. Why is this such a passion project? While I've never raced, I did live and cruise full time on a sailboat for 7 years. My boat (although I am not) is capable of doing a circumnavigation. So far, the writing and research have helped me tremendously with healing after unexpectedly ending my cruising life two years ago. Tag, answer any Qs that suit and play along (apologies if you're been tagged before and I missed it)! @pookasluagh, @di-42, @dragonfire42, @itsscottiesstark, @shadesofecclescakes, @lavendermoonlitskies, @serenity-black, @holycatsandrabbits

Behind the counter at Chill n'Fill, where every disaster is an "opportunity" and our one-eyed polar bear mascot watches it all. Tonight's lineup: refrigeration apocalypse, a woman rebranding affairs as "marriage therapy," a man mourning his missing sausage, and a Bentley owner whose wealth can't buy my interest. The soundtrack? Ironically perfect. #RetailLife #NightShiftChronicles

In Guy Maddin's Rumours, What's Amazing is That There's No Secret Societies At Work Here

If you love farces, then Rumours is for you. This bizarre #apocalypse #horror movie from Guy Maddin & Evan and Galen Johnson has lots to like, and I feel the #folkhorror style elements are done just right. #moviereview at:

Now playing at select theatres Spoiler Alert When Guy Maddin’s Rumours gets heavy with absurdist humour and presents a group of world leaders as inept, this movie may well be his most bizarre to date. That’s because of the setup: these folks have gathered to deal with some unknown global crisis. And as for whether the mud people they discover is part of it or not, that’s a mystery they’ll have to…

Director Myeong-haeng Heo and Star Don Lee Says 'Badland Hunters' is More Than An Action Movie

Badland Hunters director Myeong-haeng Heo and action star Don Lee aka Dong-seok Ma wants you to know that the movie is not a sequel to the 2023 disaster film Concrete Utopia, nor is it part of that universe. It is in its own post-apocalypse world. They also want audiences to know, despite what is shown in the trailer, they’re not dealing with zombies. It’s more focused on the human condition…

I’m really amused by the fact that it’s “rapalm” and not “napalm.” But they totally lampshade the name with the quote from Apocalypse Now in the second panel. (Heavy Metal #318 2022 – Page 62 SPU Dolores by Tarquin, Tarquin, Hahnenberger and Jame)
