Go to your A03 and sort your stories by kudos. List the top five below. What do you think of them? Do these particular stories deserve the attention?

I was tagged by @dozmuffinxc, original meme by @adreadfulidea:

  1. One Starry Night Sherlock, Werewolf John/Vampire Sherlock
  2. A Soldier’s Luck Sherlock, Johnlock
  3. The Value of an Omega Sherlock, Asexual Sherlock/John
  4. The Bond we Make

    Sherlock,

    Asexual Sherlock/John

  5. Mycroft’s Choice Sherlock, Mystrade

These are ALL omegaverse. I am endlessly amused that Starry Night is my most popular fic because it started off as kind of a joke I playfully called ‘my kitchen sink fic’ (omegaverse/werewolf/vampire) for a @johnwantsit fic prompt weekend and then it took off like crazypants and ended up having a modicum of plot, even. A Soldiers Luck was a commission fic and I’m still proud of how that came out. The Value of an Omega was, for a long time before these other two came along, my top kudosed fic. That’s always pleased me because it is omegaverse, it is asexual Sherlock, and there’s no sex. Conversely, The Bond we Make has the opposite choice being made and there is sex, despite Sherlock being ace. But I think I handled it appropriately and it all makes sense. Finally I LOVE Mycroft’s Choice and I’m glad so many other people do too. I enjoy exploring omega Mycroft and, well, his choices and how good a patient alpha like Greg can be for him.

I’m a gonna tag @guixonlove, @fangirlscout, @themadkatter13, @hums-happily, @awabubbles, @jazzforthecaptain and @reclusiveq (and anyone else who wants to)

i want spock to give someone the vulcan salute and have that person misunderstand and give him a jubilous high five and spock just stares at his hand in confusion as an awkward silence ensues

What if that’s part of the basic sexual harassment training Starfleet gives at the academy like “do not highfive the Vulcans. Don’t do it. They look like they want highfives. They do not want highfives.”

the professor looking directly at student!kirk like “are you listening to this lecture today sir? because you strike me as the person who is going to need to remember this”

Meet The Woman Responsible For The Greatest GIFs On The Internet

Meet The Woman Responsible For The Greatest GIFs On The Internet

kenyatta:

Cat, who works by day as an instructional designer for California’s Pacific Gas and Electric Company, says that the point of Animated Text is not so much the retro-’90s aesthetic itself, but rather her “relationship with the followers.” Every gif was specifically requested by one of her fans, so she sees each post as a collaborative process, rather than one where she’s the “keeper of the keys” or whatever.

[…]

By injecting more and more of herself into the Animated Text project, she became more and more comfortable with being vulnerable on the internet, something she did not expect when she was designing ostentatiously disaffected gif mantras like “lol nothing matters” or “blog the pain away.” That newfound comfort with being vulnerable online also inspired Frazier’s latest venture: Ask Cat, an “advice column for the smartphone age” that you can submit to by texting 510-962-9372.

“I’m really affecting people’s lives,” she said earnestly—a far cry from the person you’d expect to have made that (iconic, zeitgeist-capturing, etc., etc., etc.) “lol nothing matters” gif. “It makes me feel like I can be a better person. I may still be the asshole that I am, but it makes me feel good and that I should treat everyone better and that maybe the internet isn’t so bad after all.”

YES.

when I try to hear this in my head my mental voice is incapable of pronouncing it fast enough to fit the timing of the line

“noooo oooone… adjksjfksfjslenry like Gaston!”

and when I try to fit it to one of the longer such lines, my mental voice becomes too confused about conflicting scansion to continue

no one’s droll like gaston
no one’s swole like gaston
no one fits his assigned gender role like gaston

I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy
My what a guy that gastooon

IT GOT BETTER

And when a woman has rights it’s simply not FAAAIIIIRRRR!!!
