@sonorawent.bsky.social is home <3 and we are spacing out rooting for the tiny lesbians on a very silly 'legally blonde' spin-off that i started watching for some reason (elle is not among the tiny lesbians but she is an Ally)

anyway there's 7k in the 'reminders' ch8 doc but i need to write a good chunk more before i can say it's done what i set out to have it do and you won't get ch7 until that happens and honestly, what's the rush, it's rbb month!!! good reads abound!!!

work has been trying to train me on an llm because apparently it is the only way to run database-type queries against our cms (god forbid a cms have functional search!!) but the first two things i was asked to do were easily and quickly fixed using my regular human brain so uh

Please enjoy this one-shot for the 2026 #OFMDReverseBang inspired by @libroseitm.bsky.social's incredible art and prompt!! It was so much fun to write! 7k, E, fake dating, Ed POV, possessive/jealous Stede, fun/hot/unhinged shenanigans archiveofourown.org/works/87742666

Ch 1 of my and @gaywatson.bsky.social's #OFMDReverseBang, The Art of Fakery, is live! Ed is an art thief on his last job, forging a masterpiece while painting a portrait. Stede is his subject--and he's far more handsome and intriguing than a mark ought to be. #OFMDfanfic Tags & link below

hugs and strength to everyone else really feeling the crushing weight of everything we're up against today.

DoublePod is finished and I'm so happy that a conversation between a bunch of podficcers months ago eventually turned into this! And that it supported 18 people to make their first podfic. So many thanks for everyone who took part. Here are my badges, don't forget to grab yours!

today has been a Long Day and a Good Day and a Way Too Much Time In Transit Day but i'm home now and i gotta settle enough to sleep and then work etc tomorrow whee

Goodnight from here

Somewhere lovely with lovely company 💜

still working on ch8 a bit before i drop ch7 on you (it'd be nice if i manage it before the end of june, eh?) but here's where that's going: ed meets a peculiar harbormaster with an affinity for birds and...baseball? #WIPWednesday

i've been like 99% packed for my trip *today* since sunday 💀 and i don't even leave for the airport for another 2.5 hours 💀

twice this morning i've tried to type the word "dimly" but ended up with "dimply" and i don't even know what dimply lighting would look like

Five topics I could talk about for over an hour OFMD '90s Star Trek Vegan food More TV shows Why genAI/LLMs suck (less talking, more ranting/"and another thing!"-ing)

I rarely take photos inside museums/galleries and apparently when I do it's not a *painting* so have a mural from the side of a building.

i've had a few more fathers days without my dad now than with him, and i just wanna send so much love to those of you who are also missing yours today, especially while the loss still feels fresh. 💜

Weekend plans: farmers market, street fair, post-street fair nap, laundry, going to Fred Meyer first thing in the morning before it gets warm, packing, WRITING PLEASE BRAIN LET ME WRITE (so far okay)

"no, yeah, I know it's 9:45 pm and you took a melatonin already even and I'm probably gonna wake you up at 4 again, sorry bout it, but hey remember that 15 minute nap we did around 1pm? That was pretty sweet right. Anyway"

body you can quit this 4am wakeup sleep pattern literally any time nothing is stopping you (it ebbs and flows okay i do my best but the patterns do what they will)

coming up in ch7: a brief flashback to an attempted startup match made in hell...

i swear to god if you are following anyone who uses the words "b*ta reader" in their skeets i am blocking you with prejudice

there are currently 8,141 words in the ch7 draft of 'not so gentle reminders' 💀💀💀 which i think makes it a full 1k+ longer than when i first sent it to beta readers. now i just need to finish drafting the next chapter and you can have all this pain.

Okay, time to send your aunts and your neighbors down for tech help at the library. My bus was very late but it didn't matter because no one is here. 🥺

Far be it for me to skip a fic writing meme 😅 you can give me a number if you want, otherwise I'll probably just do 1 answer for 1 like

i love it when the beta feedback is "ouch" followed by a comment suggesting i could break their hearts a little harder and more precisely because it's true, i could. and i will 😌

i have second beta comments in on ch7 and i am like 1-2k away from a completed draft of ch8, WILL MY BRAIN ALLOW ME TO FINISH THINGS SO I CAN POST BEFORE MY TRIP NEXT WEEK

it's #TakeTwoTuesday and i've got a whopper of a ficaversary -- happy third(!) birthday to the treehouse boys! i may never finish your sequel, but you were always gonna be fine... We're Gonna Live In the Trees, 35k, M, podfic available! archiveofourown.org/works/47255098

managed to eke out an almost 500-word scene (that can probably get expanded a bit from there) tonight and i think there's a good 2-3 more important scenes in this chapter with about 3.9k so far. the order of the present and the flashbacks might need some work, tho. hmmmm.

I woke up at 4am and my mom was here until almost noon and it's still light out when all I want is to go to bed early and sleep past at least 5am and get up and stay in the ac all day and write

if we're moots i am happy to DM on here but dear god group chats on this platform have fewer features even than old bird app group chats and i loathed that UI more than i can express. if we must group chat, i vote we take this to another platform 😂

body is like "waking you up at 4:30 just like you asked" NO BODY. I DID NOT ASK FOR THAT. PLEASE GO BACK TO 5:30 WAKEUPS THAT IS AT LEAST MANAGEABLE

i have as many things posted to ao3 in the ofmd tag as the year of my birth (+1900) and that is weirdly pleasing

i love it when i can't read my own notes. "Lucius preseno Ed's history of nitakes & pains nowbetter to shew?" yesterday me, what the actual fuck

What's your sign?

from the part of 'reminders' ch9 i wrote months ago because it's their first meeting. i'm still working on edits to ch7 and drafting ch8 before i ever get back to rounding that out. #mystuff

ate a marionberry fritter and listened to kevin morby walking home from the farmers' market in scattered showers, tbh A+ experience

The wolves are at the door, please buy my books 😅 payhip.com/richardrider Victorian boys are free because nobody wants them and it makes me sad, everything else is part of one series and they're pay whatever you want!

Why did one random reply attract like a half dozen pornbot reskeets

About to spend $846 to fix my car so just throwing out there that i have prints and commissions available on my ko-fi if anyone would like to buy something 😭 #ofmd #pokemon #art #fanart ko-fi.com/c/ee11f2e36b

#wipwednesday from the next chapter of 'not so gentle reminders' and the unofficial soundtrack of this entire fic is just "i am trying to break your heart" by wilco from me to you 🥰

This is my 1st time offering comms (outside of auctions). I'm trying to get ahead of the squeeze I'm going to face later this summer before my next funding comes through. I know times are hard for a lot of people, so no pressure and any help you can offer is greatly appreciated! 🫶 #OFMDfanart

take two tuesday for...today's update? 🤷 halfway through the chapter count but i think we've got at least another 40k words to go. there's pining. there's angst. there's flashbacks. there's dudes being awful at communication. it's an #ofmdfic, what did you expect? archiveofourown.org/works/72585301

In Portland, I feel like I've broken a social contract by not being a cyclist In San Jose, I just... disliked Falafel Drive In. (I love falafel but not that place.) And La Taqueria was fine? I guess? Which were the only places I can think of that were consistently mentioned as beloved institutions.

hey fucking finally i have an update for you folks who enjoy angst with a happy ending and this time there's smut! #mystuff archiveofourown.org/works/725853...

i have more beta feedback on the next chapter of 'not so gentle reminders' to work through and then! then!!!! i can post it. so. i've kept folks waiting a WHILE but soon!

Archem, my sexuality is gay as in it took me 20 years to connect being bored of cis men to oh hey wow women(!), my gender is n/a and why are bodies, my fashion sense is tired

go check your fave emoji mashup thing for the weirdest rainbow thing you can find! here's mine! FROM DEEP BELOW THE EARTH'S CRUST WE EMERGE HAPPY PRIDE

On the first day of @ofmdpodfuckery.bsky.social #DoublePod, @veeagainsttheday.bsky.social and I decided to record a multi-POV fic to really maximize the fun of doublepodding, with bonus guest @sonorawent.bsky.social so you can listen to a different voice each chapter!

get ready for my mumbly face to read you a pornographic bedtime story!!!

tonight i saw an amazing performance, spent time with a good friend, met some lovely people, and ate a *really* good beet burger from a bar i was afraid i'd be too uncool for (but wasn't? i guess?) and now i need to stretch my body before i can sleep and have a sunday all to myself
