I got this comment

innitmarvelous_ogI got this comment on my fic I will see your nation cast down and I am undecided how to react to it because there are scammers out there making these sorts of comments on fanfics, trying to get you to commission them for art and then as I have heard, when you've been taken, you get some kind of AI generated garbage in return.
A tense and emotionally charged courtroom drama that captures the weight of justice, love, and the human cost of fame and power. I am a professional comic artist, if you are interested check my bio for further discussion.
They posted it on the last chapter and thing is, only a few of the chapters even take place in the courtroom! I think they skimmed my summary and thought that is what the entire story is about! (Actually I don't know how they got that's what my story is about as lol the summary doesn't indicate it takes place entirely in a courtroom!)
Any opinions?

It has been uh, a long time since I've been here. The thing is it's not that I'm not on DW, I do volunteering over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout and was posting stuff all last year for them. However, something about coming onto my personal journal was really hard, as was checking my reading page.
But I want to try and do better this year, so here we go.
For those who are curious, a quick, unordered, 2025 recap:
- Joined Codex
- Got two stories published
- Wrote a whole bunch more that I'm really happy with.
- Went to Seattle twice
- Went to my (now yearly) gaming convention.
- Went to ICFA in March and met some people I've known for years
- Did a collaborative interactive fiction project with a friend that is available to play.
- Went to my first wedding reception
- Spent my birthday in Seattle (even if that was uh, Complicated)
There was other stuff as well, but that's what's sticking out in my mind. Coming back from Seattle in December was hard, but I'm doing a lot better now. It's part of why I'm here, honestly. Hopefully this year I'll be able to write more about how things go and look back on it with a smile.
I'm not too sure what all this space is going to look like yet, but I suppose we'll find out. I don't want to say for sure what I'm hoping for because I want to let this form organically. Maybe I'll write about the media I'm consuming (the last two things I've watched are Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, both of which I loved), or maybe it'll just be life stuff. We'll have to see.
I hope everyone else has had a lovely over-a-year and I'm excited to start keeping up with everyone again!

Challenge #13
TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY SPACE YOU LIKE. It doesn’t need to be your favorite, or the one where you spend the most time (although it certainly can be). Maybe it’s even one that you’ve barely visited. But talk about that space and how it helps support fannish community.
Here a few communities I enjoy:
- Holmesian Mantelpiece - this one is over on Tumblr, and its a community for all Sherlock Holmes fandoms. We have fun sharing fanworks and voting on daily trivia
-
fancake - is a great reccing community, every month is a different theme, and members share fanworks related to the them- Fanlore Discord - if you're a fanlore editor come join us on the discord, we chat mostly about editing articles, etc, but also greater fandom stuff
-
holmestice - if you're looking for a Hollmes related exchange I highly recommend holmestice, they run two exchanges a year, one in the spring and one in the winter, and its open to all Holmes adaptations. I got a lovely Rathbone Holmes fic last round, plus a nice Granada treat.snoooooooooooow

IT'S A WINTER WONDERLAND!!!!"
So it snowed basically all night and most of today before switching to freezing rain, which is decidedly less good but like. Whatever. It's still very wintery, and I like that...even if I'm not going out in it. It's way too damn cold!!!! Even after taping up a bunch of the windows in the house, we're all bundled up cuz the heat is only doing so well.
Other than that, I'm baking some cookies and debating trying to make icons again, since it's been...months.........all my photoshop skills have been going to
I also wanna try to write something for
threesentenceficathon cuz it's one of my favorite yearly events...I'm just still fighting Mental Illness, you know?also trying to get back in the habit of updating this and I'm like "how the fuck did I write such long entries????" I think I spent a lot of time rambling about enstars, so I guess...that's it XD
I mean I am upset about Hiyori fucking me over in the gacha, since there's a 50/50 chance that the next jp event is gonna be MaM (though the other option is ALKALOID so I guess I'm kinda screwed either way) and I need the rate up if it's Mama. I'm not saving up another 120+ memorial coins like I had to for Halloween Madara last year :T I'm just gonna max him during the event!!!!
..........also also I've made a lot of nui outfits in the past 6 months, so when I'm up to it I kinda wanna post them here. Dreamwidth is just such a better way to organize and hold onto things than everywhere else ;w;
Wu Lei Picspam: the Elf look
Jan. 25th, 2026 04:57 pmtinnyBecause I haven't finished any more Wu Lei dramas yet, and like looking at my ~800 pics of Wu Lei a lot, I'm starting another type of Wu Lei picspam, featuring different looks of his. This first one: all pics in which he looks ethereal, tall and thin.
Other Wu Lei picspams so far: Nothing But You, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
All 53 pics separately downloadable in full size from this gallery: https://postimg.cc/gallery/696GW6J

Jan. 24th, 2026 07:55 pmthisbluespiritSome things that I have had stashed away for a little while:
1.sovay very kindly sent me a copy of Exit Through the Fireplace by Kate Dunn, which was waiting for me at the new house when I got here. It is about repertory theatre with lots of accounts on every aspect from actors and others involved, including a lot of people I have watched in old telly, so I enjoyed it a lot.
But having only recently before tried to make a post explaining what I loved about Terence Rattigan's plays, including floundering about trying to say how effective his dialogue is, I was v pleased to find this quote:
John Moffatt: (On being in rep, and the difficulty of remembering the lines, doing a new play every week): "You got to know who the good writers were. With Rattigan you barely had to learn it at all, even after just blocking it you almost knew it because it is so beautifully written. The only way to reply to something that has just been said is what he's written."
2. Talking of people being kind,swordznsorcery wrote me a lovely Sapphire & Steel story with a new Element and a stealth crossover very RTMI here, and if you also like S&S, I recommend taking a look, as it's great! <3
3. The book I was reading introduced me to the utterly untrue but very S&S like urban myth/ghost story of the Zanetti Train. Sounds like an Assignment to me, or a film I would watch, anyway. (It seems to have been taken from a Ukrainian work of fiction, most likely - certainly not one detail of it has any truth in it).
4. Making personalised bingo cards proved to be exactly in my wheelhouse right now, so I had fun with that. If anyone missed it the other day and would like one, feel free to still ask! (Here or there, whatever).
5. Random AO3 tag found while wrangling that is currently amusing me: It is literally just Twelfth Night but with Moomins.
Otherwise still slowly progressing and all that etc etc etc.

New Year, Same Me?
Jan. 23rd, 2026 05:26 pmsetsuntamewWhich is to say...mental health has beaten my ass down so badly the past 6 months that I basically dropped off the (digital) earth. Work was busy up until the store I was working at shut down, so I got all the stress of retail during the holidays and having to do store closing stuff!!! GREAT!!!!!!!! And then without the structure of work, I fell off of taking my meds and have been struggling basically since the beginning of the year.
anyway.
I'm not gonna make promises about being on top of things again, but I do want to try to, since dreamwidth really helped me keep track of time when I was unemployed last year.
So. idk where I'm going here, but I will hopefully see y'all around some more ♥

Make an appreciation post to those who enhance your fandom life. Appreciate them in bullet points, prose, poetry, a moodboard, a song... whatever moves you!
I'm terrible with posts like this, but here goes. Thank you to everyone who follows me and leaves comments on my posts. Thank you to everyone who does the Book Bingo with me. Aand last but not least, thank you to all my fellow Fanlore editors, there aren't a lot of us, but we toil away trying our best to archive fandom history.
Anyways, please enjoy this multifandom dance vid I found on the net:
