I'm so grateful to our pinch hitters! 5,000 words or 5 pages is a big commitment without any guarantee of a gift in return.

A number of people are writing pinch hits but didn’t sign up for the exchange, and we’d like to give them the opportunity to leave prompts for treats. Treats for pinch hitters go in the same location as treats for anyone else, in the main collection.

If you picked up a pinch hit, aren’t signed up for the exchange, and would appreciate treats, please leave your AO3 name in a comment here along with the fandoms you’re interested in. You can specify characters/relationships, fic or comics, genres, prompts, and DNWs--as much detail as you'd like. Linking to past letters is also fine.

Okay, not literally, but the comic in this May the Fourth be with You tumblr post is absolutely killing me.

I'm saving the art because I would be so, so sad if I were to lose it, but please go let the artist know if it amuses you anything like as much as it tickles me.

As I mentioned previously, last Wednesday's D&D game took a sharp turn when one of the characters drew the Fates from the Deck of Many Things which allows him to rewrite one moment in time.

The players had a short video chat tonight to figure out just what moment we want to undo, and I'm posting notes from our discussion here so that we have them to look back on if needed.

RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Completed, 3,019 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Gerald Robotnik, Ivo Robotnik, Maria Robotnik

FIC SUMMARY:

Fourteen years. Four hours.

A lifetime in an afternoon.

Comparison is the thief of joy, and Gerald has been robbed of everything.

RECCER'S NOTES: Ohhh baby is this angsty! A character study of sorts for Gerald Robotnik, as he makes comparisons between his beloved Maria and detested Ivo.

There were a lot of Leonard Cohen songs in the running, but his 1988 I'm Your Man album fit tidily into the lineup, and this is one of the tracks on it that I'm always in the mood to listen to. (That said, I might also be sneaking in a cover of a Cohen song later on in the series.)

Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen

1. Yesterday I was feeling majorly stressed out by multiple things, but today I'm feeling much better.

2. One thing was this whole pee issue with Jasper. ( long )

3. I have also been majorly stressed about work recently. Well, it's actually been for several years, but I'm feeling it more and more, not necessarily because things are more stressful but just because of the buildup, and the whole world in general is adding so much stress as well. I'd been thinking more and more seriously about what I want to do when this project I'm working on ends. I don't think I want to go back to area manager as that is a pretty stressful position, especially now that the economy is not great and the stores are struggling. I would also like to be closer to home, so I've been thinking about stepping down to a department leader position at the store closest to me.

( also long )

So just making that decision, even if it doesn't change anything right now, has made me less stressed out.

4. Molly was writhing around with that toy just moments before I took the pic.

My check-in: 400 words on the h/c. Which looks like it won't be a satisfactory auction fill, but nevermind, I'll write it for my own pleasure, just more slowly. Brainstormed another possibility for the fill instead, but have not yet broke ground on it.

I stopped reading for the day because I reached the Sandman issue and went blergh in my head at the author, then realised it was past 11pm.
... I have been reading horror comics all evening. I am sure this was an excellent idea that shall have no adverse consequences whatsoever...

I read Newcastle, the original telling of the whole Incident.
In a Mature Readers horror comic it goes darker and more explicit than in any other medium I've seen, including the 18 rated one. ( Read more... )

I am enjoying this omnibus and kind of relieved I find it Quality reading after all these years.

The character on the TV is related to this guy but... whenever the story gets revisited it gets tidied up for a wider audience, and I'm glad the original is going to be around in high quality.

In memory of a beloved mathematician and astronomer, whose name has been dragged through the mud for these last one hundred and thirty five years...

Professor Moriarty: A Great but Forgotten Astronomer

James Moriarty (?-1891) was one of the greatest of the many astronomer-mathematicians who flourished in the nineteenth century, however among the general public his scientific accomplishments are forgotten. Mention his name and most people will think of the dark rumours about his personal life and the lurid circumstances of his death.

Space wizard cultists but instead of one sanctioned cult and one forbidden cult, there are hundreds of space wizard cults, each of whom is convinced they have the best space wizardry. So they're continually fighting to see whose is better.

The Space Emperor's antipathy is due to the disruption caused by incessant space wizard cultist fights.

I saw Carmen (my PCP) this afternoon, in person. I couldn't remember why we'd scheduled this in person, but assumed we had a reason at the time, but when I asked, Carmen didn't know either.

She wrote the next Ritalin prescription; listened to my heart and lungs as long as I was there; and had me provide a urine sample for a once-a-year toxicology screening. In theory, that screening is to make sure that the patient is actually taking rather than selling their Schedule II drugs. The thing is, the standard/required test panel is for about a dozen things, not including Ritalin. There is a test for that, which she didn't order because the sample would have to go to a different lab, and she trusts that I'm taking the medication as prescribed.

I'm also supposed to schedule a mammogram.

It's a nice day, so I went to Tosci's afterwards, and now have a pint each of sweet cream and lime vanilla ice cream.

USJ has a 1.5 day pass, which seemed like the right fit for us. Honestly, I think the single day would have been fine, too, but this let us have the first afternoon to sort of scope out the park and get the lay of the land so we could navigate better on the next day. If we go again, I'd just do the single day, since we're now familiar with the layout.
