Music, background noise, complete quiet. Something else? What works for you?

I thought AMSR keyboard typing sounds would work for me. They didn't. (When listening to it, I can feel my hair trying to crawl up my scalp.)

But something like this does:

Fly! All is known....

I will have extremely limited access to a full-sized keyboard this week (phone, yes; proper keyboard, no), but don't want to disappear without acknowledging two wonderful recently-written gifts:

From Unsent Letters 2025:
A Series of Notes Attached to A UNIT Requisition Form by [personal profile] astrogirl

Three and the Brigadier navigate the halls of bureaucracy (and the vastness of time and space) in pursuit of an electron microscope. A perfect replication of the reality of bureacuratic procurement channels...

From Holmestice, Summer 2024:
a study in violin by unrevealed

A full-fledged and dead-flat-brilliant novella (!) following Elementary's Sherlock Holmes through a lifetime spent with a Stradivarius (and a great many complicated relationships).

I've been reading reviews of the five Murderbot eps to date, by William Hughes. They gel with what I'd been thinking and give some interesting meta. Worth checking out, if you're into the show.

We've had a cold snap here - temps down to 7C (45F) - which I know is nothing to you tough Northeners but it reminded me how much I prefer summer. I broke out my oodie (a massive hooded sweatshirt of velour fleece lined with fake sheepskin fleece - mine has slices of pepperoni pizza on it) which was amazingly warm and comforting for a while, then when I'd warmed up, rapidly became claustrophpbic. I'm keeping it in reserve for more wintry dips in temperature.

Discussion of an NSFW artwork and TMI
I'm working on a NSFW artwork of John Sheppard and Rodney McKay as "always a girl" lesbians, and managed to turn myself on! Unusual - it can happen when I write sex scenes, but never before with a high-rated pic I've been drawing. I really want the pic to work so will need to run it by at least one art beta when it's a bit more finished - John/Joan's hips are proving elusive. Meredith's looking nicely lush though.

Lots of podfic-related activity lately - the longer one I'm recording is going well, plus the regular Voiceteam festival had an archiving challenge so we've been hit with >600 podfics to archive, some in weird, tiny, Yuletidey fandoms that are a puzzle to categorise.
I had a brief brain melt and panicked that the due South Big Bang deadline was June 16th (it's August 16th), and having come to my senses, relievedly abandoned the punishing podficcing schedule I'd invented. But I do need to get onto my into-a-bar fic asap. Writing - so much harder for me these days, goddamnit.

The Mexican sunflower is still flowering up a storm, even in the cold and rain. It's a keeper! Not a lot of choice about that as with big ones like mine the roots can be several metres deep, and they come away again cheerfully when cut back.

I had a moment in a comment over on [personal profile] minoanmiss's journal, when I realized the phrase "trumped up" charges now has a horrible new meaning. So I've written an imaginary future entry in Etymology.com:

trump (v.2)
"fabricate, devise," 1690s, from earlier trump "deceive, cheat, impose upon" (late 14c.), from Old French tromper "to deceive," a word of uncertain origin.
Trumped up "fabricated out of nothing or deceitfully; forged; false; worthless" is recorded by 1728. Since 2025 the origin has become conflated, especially in the US, with the second Trump presidency (January 2025 to his September 2025 impeachment) in which Trump and his lackeys were notorious for illegal executive orders, false charges, and widespread abuse of power.


Hope you're all keeping warm, or cool, depending!

Case fic | Episode tags/post-ep fic or moments in between episodes | 5 (or more) + 1 | Time loops, time travel, otherwise messing with the timelines | Looking into the future -- through visions, crystal balls, whatever | Amnesia (complete, only about specific moments, all characters, just one character--it's one of my favorite tropes) | Secrets (being revealed, keeping them, near misses) | Identity Porn | Mutual pining | Teamwork | Fluff | Hurt/Comfort, Sickfic, Whump | Angst with a happy ending | "Oh" moments/realizations | Alternate universe, canon divergence, what if? | epistolary work (especially unsent letters vs what was actually sent!) | power swaps, body swaps, role swaps | empathy (feeling each other's emotions) | character studies!! | established relationships | crushes to relationship | enemies to friends to lovers (i LOVE the friends part in between) | exploring certain aspects (fears, loves, hopes, hates) unwillingly (think where they go into everyone's dreams and have to find a way out, or they’re exploring a mindscape) | non-sexual intimacy | consequences for canon actions (injury leading to disability, relationships changing because somebody said something) | accidental baby acquisition
 
General DNWs
Explicit smut/NSFW (keep it PG-13 or fade to black, please!) | Underage or considerable age gap relationships (underage being sexual content or implied sexual content between minors, considerable age gap being 30+ years, excepting supernatural species/events or requested pairings) | Noncon/rape/sexual assault (referring to characters being unwilling to participate in sexual/romantic activities. Canon mentions or backstory are acceptable, but please don’t go into detail). | Incest (including step-relationships and adopted relationships) | Significant power gaps (teacher/student, CEO/employee) | Graphic or non-canon harm to animals | Transphobia/homophobia/racism/bigotry from requested characters or ships that differs from canon. | Major Original Characters (major in this case meaning taking up as much "screentime" as requested characters, exception: worldbuilding) | Branding or carving symbols into skin (tattooing is fine, as are non-graphic descriptions or passing mentions in fic) | Omegaverse/Mpreg | Genderbends | 1st/2nd person POV in non-epistolary | character bashing. in-character disliking of characters is fine, as is criticism of canonically questionable actions | vomit, scat, piss or watersports | graphic descriptions of saliva | mentions of Harry Potter or Harry Potter AUs |

Sickfic Notes

Hanahaki - the idea of chronic Hanahaki really appeals to me, as well as the flowers changing depending on the feelings. I prefer the "comes from not confessing feelings" to "comes from unrequited feelings" but both are welcome!

I'm okay if you mention death in any way, including major/requested characters or temporary death, just as long as the requested pairings interact at least once (even in flashbacks).

Firefall Series - Peter Watts
I'll start off by saying: if you're new to the fandom, the only book you need to read for my requested pairing is Blindsight, which can be found here as a PDF or here in your browser (thanks, Peter Watts & Creative Commons!). Space, mind fuckery, transhumanism, and vampires sound like a good time? Blindsight could be for you! One day I'll get around to a more in-depth canon promo.
 
 
Michelle/Isaac: it's so obvious how deeply they care for each other even if we don't get much of their relationship in the book. I think it could be fun to explore a few what-ifs, or maybe some pre-novel things. Getting together, fluff, angst, I'm here for it all!
 
 
There's obviously the potential for sickfic from what that they had on Rorschach (maybe Theseus couldn't heal something), or even just plain normal stuff that they have to deal with. What if they were awake on the trip over and had to take care of each other? Besides that, there's the potential for Isaac's cybernetics to mess with him, or for Michelle's synesthesia to cause pain instead of other senses.
You're also welcome to explore the influences that the other members of the Gang have on Michelle's relationship or illness--do they get sick when she does, or is it split like they are? What kind of alien influence would Rorschach have on any illness? For hanahaki, is it something regularly encountered, a bio-engineered contagion common to the future world, or is it something alien?

Anyone have recipes that use very small amounts of okra? I'm talking two or three okra. My okra plants are producing, but they're still small so I'm only getting a two or three every couple of days.

If you have recipes that use large amounts of okra, I'll take those too, but won't have a chance to try them until about August. Per LSU ag extension the heat puts the okra plants into overdrive and I'll have beaucoup then.
