i sent what is honestly an extremely polite rude email at a wedding vendor who cancelled on us right before an appointment *which we had made weeks ago*, but damn i just know this bitch is gonna come back swinging

1. book I've reread the most times - going to be a comic book answer. just the type of guy I am. let's go with Matt Fraction and David Aja's "Hawkeye". incredible art, super snappy and fun comics, short but not too short, just the best of all time. if you don't read capeshit, read this anyway!

cover of the Matt fraction and David aja "Hawkeye" omnibusa page from "Hawkeye". Clint Barton, Hawkeye, pulls an arrow. someone comes into the room.Tony stark and Clint barton have a conversation.
Tony: You're a carnie and a thief; you'd fit right in. Look: let's just throw this stuff out and start over. We'll get a whole-new setup and you can watch the wrap-up of "dog cops". When Sgt. Whiskers finds the baby? It--
Clint: --shut up! Shut up about the show and shut up about my stuff! I know it's a mess and it's half-taped together and it's old and busted, but it's mine. And you gotta make that work, right? You gotta make your own stuff work out.

so i have somehow gone 30+ yrs of my life without ever wearing maxi skirts, but suddenly started wearing them. and how the HELL do you navigate the bathroom in these?!??

The only *guaranteed* piece of craft advice I can give -- I mean the advice that is universally applicable -- is that if you kill many other writers and eat their scribere gland (roughly the size of a black-eyed pea, so be careful not to damage it) then your prose will improve immensely

it's wild how much the narrative of tvc changes when they shifted from "what's this? a bestselling vampire biography? *iiiii* want to write a book about my vampire trauma!!! i am Compelled to tell my story and the world will listen!" to "asshole journalist tricks everyone into revealing trauma."

"what was that one show i watched that looked good but i thought it was boring? the rings of power?" my coworker bestie moments before being demoted from coworker bestie

After a longer period of time I wanted, my Celebrimbor work is done... for now. Still gonna tinker with it to perfect it for what I intended for it, but i think this is about as good as I can get it right now with the limitations I had. I hope I captured Charles Edwards pretty well in it.

Fanzines took off in the 1960s and '70s inspired by TV programs like Star Trek and Doctor Who. Widely broadcast, these serials presented rich universes that were expanded on in fanzines.
This issue of Matter/Antimatter features a love story between
Captain Kirk and Spock. It is an example of 'slashfic' - a genre of fan fiction that imagines romances between characters of the same gender.
Romantic fan fiction showcases fantasies of the rebel heart, unconstrained by reality.

there are so many times where i'm writing silm fic where i'm like, "oh, but EVERYONE has written that bit. i need to come up with something new!" and then i remember that everyone has written that bit because it's really cool and fun, and it's my turn, actually!
