Ok. Genuine concern. Been so excited for "RWRBPC" but....fic may have ruined canon for me? That A&H "Spice Diary" thing? Cute! Fun, fluffy, sexy. But without consulting bookmarks, I can think of ten cute, fun, fluffy, sexy FP fics I liked a /lot/ more? Is the fic in this fandom just... too good?

Sami's right, this year felt different. I think anyone who was in NYC that day still feels like it was pretty fucking recent. But it wasn't. It's hard to process. And Esquire mag really needs to stop pushing that damn Falling Man story on socials. I never want to see that picture ever again, FFS.
i’m watching the new netflix documentary which is also talking about the wars after the fact — i am so sad and learning so much
Just a head's up, y'all: The second @everwitch.bsky.social drops this one, my phone's going on DND and I'm canceling all my plans. Cannot WAIT to read this....

This hasn't happened in forever: It's Wednesday and I've got a WIP bubbling up like sourdough left to proof too long... #WIPWednesday #RWRB
Holy smoke. The power of one kind, thoughtful comment on a fic to make you feel....seen, heard. Understood. *Fuck.* /sniffs/

Mel talking about "Ironic" reminded me, finally found a vid I'd been looking for: Lauren Patten, singing You Oughta Know in a storm at Bway Fest, the moment she deliberately walks into the water pouring onto the stage. Sexiest fucking thing I have *ever* seen tbh www.tiktok.com/@taraontik/v...

omg y'all I just had a drink for the first time in *months*...so siddown, grab a chair....I need to yap! I've been doing SO much reading about Joni Mitchell all summer (which, turns out, is not nearly as conducive to writing fic as I had hoped) but wow, are there so many great stories...
You know how they say write whatever weird, niche thing makes you happy? Well. Songs for Beginners 🟢firstprince 1960s folk rockers AU 🟢aka Graham Nash loves Joni Mitchell, but make it FP 🟢25k 🟢mature 🟢written for the Brownstone's Trope Trade event archiveofourown.org/works/91899001
Without saying yr age, what's yr favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? It was also the year that gave us A Few Good Men ("You can't HANDLE the truth!") and My Cousin Vinnie ("Yeah, you blend!"), but the Robert Redford/Sidney Poitier/Ben Kingsley collab of Sneakers is unbeatable:
Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old. (I'm with Mel, this was hard! But I still lovelovelovelove this movie and the way it makes me feel.)
I am editing. Which is to say, I have spent five minutes re-reading one sentence. I added a word, took it out, added the /same word/ back in. And then took it out a second time. 🙄

Dragged the laptop outside to work on my Laurel Canyon fic and the cabin next door is blasting Highway 61 Revisited and it feels like the universe is patting me on the head to encourage me....
No, no, no. No. Absolutely not. Ugh, this year can fuck all the way off.....

RWRB friends: In the book, does Hunter have a last name? (Why do I think he's Hunter Huntington III? That can't be right -- can it?)

I do love nothing in the world so well as you-is not that strange?
Hi. Um. Help? Anyone? Stupid question: I'm trying to make up a late-60s-ish band name -- you know, one word, something innocuous and simple, starts with "the" -- that wasn't a *real* 60s band name. So like the Byrds, the Eagles, the Doors, the Band. But not any of those.
Co-signing Evie's enthusiasm for this fic! And adding to her roundup of its banger lines: Why is his fucking thesaurus of a mouth so goddamn hot? "It's my dick pic, I get veto power." "If you want someone's ass all you gotta do is say 'hi, I'm the Prince of England,' and ta-da, ass acquired."

"Under winter clouds, victorious, he unlocks the door." Such a fantastic closing line. God.
I have returned from the near-Canadian wilderness w/ two things to share: Our ("our") lake is a loon habitat. Did you know loons, unlike other birds, have solid bones, not hollow? So when they dive they can go incredibly far. But that means they're heavier than other birds and suck at flying....
First day back at the pool and Jesus Christ, I cannot face a whole summer of this....
Nobody talk to me; I'm on a three-day work trip. Yes, I am working 12-hour days but you know what I am NOT doing? Cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, driving anyone anywhere, or responding to sentences like "Mom, I need a blue skirt for the band concert -- it's tonight!"
