Kate Mulgrew apparently fought for a gay character in Star Trek but Rick Berman said nope, no, not happening.

I agree but also must add:

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

If your fic is 1000 words long, you can’t tag it slow burn. It’s not slow burn. That is a matchstick. And this is my personal bias here but if those motherfuckers you’re writing experience significant forward momentum in their relationship in under 5k words, then that is just a regular old burn. Slow burn should be borderline intolerable and a mistake to start reading at 2 in the morning.

If the fic doesn’t have multiple scenes where two people almost kiss but then don’t because of a contrived interruption that they are both grateful for and angry about, until the desperate reader is forced every other paragraph to mutter, “this is fucking ridiculous, this is bullshit, I’m so fucking mad, please update sooooooooooon,” then it isn’t a slow burn. It is a romance and that is a lovely thing but. Slow burns should feel like being set on fire unto your death but the tinder is people not kissing and the spark is people who don’t admit they love each other and the whole thing is. You know. Slow.

@daydreamingdragonage Ok wow, WOW these are all great! Especially Warrior Daughter! Wildwood Kin reminds me of First Aid Kit, if you listen to them at all. But mostly I’m absolutely floored that somebody just handed me the name of the song in that really popular post that was floating around a few months ago: http://legalizememes.tumblr.com/post/96625361351/holy-shit

Trøllabundin is giving me life and I’m so glad I know who the artist is now. THANKS

the veil between the worlds is thin tonight but my restraint to summon a creature older than humanity and curl into its void arms to listen to stories from before the universe existed is thinner
