Unlawful and unfair that my job is making me WORK this week

[update] Investigating: AO3 is now fully down. After performing a software upgrade a few days ago, we've been unable to keep our server cluster healthy due to what we believe is a bug or issue with the new release of our database server software. We're working with our ve...

Not on tHReads anymore, but someone slid a reader made playlist for Wolfbird my way and it’s so good! open.spotify.com/playlist/3wi...

I cannot stress how perfectly this is pulled straight from my head. #Bellassan is a weird ship, but it’s my ship, and I’m so grateful @el-las-in.bsky.social has been able to bring it to life for me!! You never disappoint, my friend!

Business trip week is here, which means hours in airports, lounges, & in the air while I write about a Solar Particle Event and radiation in space for the Hollanov Cosmonaut AU while... I get my own (smaller) dose of cosmic radiation to the tune of about 0.035 mSv (3.5 mrem). 🚀

Cosmonaut AU is going swimmingly 🚀 Apogee ap·o·gee Noun The point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth.

Um. So I guess I’m trending on threads?

Thank you Heated Rivalry Night for last night 🥹 so much fun!

Thank you Threads for disabling my account after 48 hours for thinking I was a bot with no way to appeal this decision.

several readers have reached out to me (and even made a reddit thread) about being feeling distressed by the fact there was no explicit line about Ilya cleaning his dirty sweater in CH 11 of Wolfbird so I give the world the explicit laundry edit:

Foxes in Snow #digitalart

The earliest Brimstone butterfly I've ever seen in the UK, in my Sheffield garden this morning. Spring is coming! Looking forward also to the European butterfly spotting holidays I'll be guiding for @mariposanature.bsky.social from May to July! 🦋

IT HAS COME TO PASS! thanks in great part to @postboxrose.bsky.social being so kind even my anxiety was like “woman, just write it??? wtf are you angsting about” publishing a specific player character/OC(ish) work does feel big vulnerable, but now I get to find out for myself if it is or not. 🥰

The Revolution of Hearts is BACK! Part 2 begins with Chapter 11: Secret Nothing archiveofourown.org/works/659271... Art by Lucy✨✨ #SolasDragonAge #Solavellan #DragonAge #PunkSolas

My son had fun at fastCAT 🐺

Snippet Sunday, and honestly, I’m just very proud of this passage from Wolfbird ✨

Good morning to everyone except the monkeys being mean to Punch

Watercolour study of roses from my garden

surprise: archiveofourown.org/works/753548... Chapter 11 of Wolfbird is up early 🐕💫

also this is messy, but since people think the Gladiator AU is too "out there", I'm just going to write a new AU with Soviet Cosmonaut Ilya Rozanov doing the zero grav nasty with the Canadian Space Agency's beloved astronaut Shane Hollander. 🚀

on the Hollanov Gladiator AU: ilu all but please stop sending me DMs on my socials about people discussing this AU. Not everyone likes AUs and that's fine. I do not want to see criticism of my work like that though.

I'm not saying that all of my author notes make sense, but AI could never 🦖

A little teaser for Wolfbird 💋

SCREAMING about this forever, and the way you added the little lake house, the sunset, Ilya's chain on his neck!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day from me and my Solavellan art hehe

#MosaicMonday The Orpheus mosaic from Littlecote #Roman Villa in Berkshire. Its obscure iconography has been seen as evidence of the pagan revival in late C.4th #RomanBritain, as Orpheus charms circling animals, seasons & goddesses with his music. Much restored, the floor has significant wow factor.

🌸 Happy Friday! 🌸

guys I fully admit I underestimated the #Hollanov AO3 reader's game, and did not expect people to actually take the discussion questions in Wolfbird seriously lmao. It will take me a WHILE but I will respond to everyone!

A heart for you 💖🌸

Art is magic and magic can be learned. Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. Make it exist first. You can make it A CHUBBY BIRB (or whatever) later. <3 🪶
