Tumblr seems less functional than usual

...which is helpful for mostly focusing on my dissertation all morning, but I have a break now and it's still very laggy on my desktop. And when it finally does manage to load it jumps the screen back up to the top in a really annoying way.

At first I thought it might be my connection, which can be a bit erratic, but everything else works fine.

I guess further motivation to keep crossposting before it crumbles completely but wahhh.

Today’s Twitter fanfic discourse is … something.

[ETA 4/12/2024: lmao, I am almost certain this was in reference to one of RSB's periodic tantrums over it that percolated through SF/F Twitter circles and pissed a wide variety of people off. I think I actually caught wind of it via John Scalzi of all people, who was like "as the author of Fuzzy Nation, I can't judge fanfic writers."]

The meme crossed my dash, so: top five things I completed in 2020!

In no particular order:

• For Legendarium Ladies April, an aesthetic post for my quasi-OFC Ithíriel, Elros’s wife in my headcanon
• Another one for their (canon) daughter Tindómiel, first princess of Númenor
• Another for Lothíriel of Dol Amroth (this one took some doing but was fun)
• One for her first cousin and my #1 Middle-earth fave, Faramir
• the gift of men, my Eldarion/Faramir+Éowyn’s daughter arranged-but-happy-marriage fic

I only just noticed that they’re all Tolkien! I had to do a ton of 16th/17th/18th-cent reading irl, though, so it was nice to get far away from all that.

Tagging: heget, heckofabecca, irresistible-revolution, garethsedwards, incognitajones, and tree—if you want!

I replied:
