V. 37. Lesbian/Queer. Jewish. She/Her/Hers. Editor. You like spaghetti, George? I like spaghetti. I like board games. I like grabbing a trifecta with that long shot on top... that ozone smell you get from air purifiers... and I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable... Mahler's first, Bernstein conducting. You've got to think about all the things you like and decide whether they're worth sticking around for. And if they are, you'll find a way to do this. And what if I don't? Then you go away, and you don't get to like anything anymore.

hello!

I’m V aimmyarrowshigh, she/her/hers, 37. The fandoms I currently post the most about are the MCU (especially Captain America and Wanda) and Star Wars, but I post extremely varied content -- I do tag everything, so your blacklist should work with the basic name(s) of whatever you don’t want to see. You’re probably here for...

DRABBLES

If you’re not here for drabbles, you may be looking for my graphics tag, my askbox, or my fanfiction tag. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, send me an ask and I’ll point you at the thing if I can. :)

'bail organa time travels' sounds like a fic someone would invent specifically to cause you pain.

You're Not Wrong

“How old is she?” asks Bail, before he can think not to.
“Twenty three,” says Solo.
He looks, really looks, at Solo for the first time. “And how old are you?”
“...not twenty three.”
“I didn’t think so,” says Bail, quietly. “She’s going to comm you in a minute, isn’t she?”
“Yeah,” says Solo, looking very tired. “You can-- I would say you shouldn’t listen to what she says, but that’s not going to stop you, is it?”
“No,” says Bail. “Nothing would, for this.”
“Yeah, well, I tried,” says Solo. “Just don’t let her see you. I don’t-- frankly, I don’t know whether you’re a trick or not, and I’m not going to do this to her until I’ve confirmed that.”

Hey, I can’t remember if I posted here on Tumblr about this fic, but I really loved the concept and execution. It’s really sweet and heartfelt, and everyone is very much in character. I really enjoyed reading it!

Pikuach Nefesh (פיקוח נפש) is the Jewish principle that preserving a person's life and health is more important than (almost) any other commandment.

Pikachu Nefesh is when your Pokemon powers up a defibrillator or electric car or generator to help save a life on Shabbat.

Post NaNoWriMo - Now What?

So if you've only been loosely paying attention, the NaNoWriMo organization has collapsed in a controversy of mismanagement, lack of oversight, abusive forum moderation and a whole host of issues that's resulted in souring the whole thing for a great deal of people. While the spirit of NaNoing will probably continue, a lot of people understandably don't want anything to officially do with the organization anymore.

But you - like I have - still think NaNoWriMo has been very useful to get writing done. Here's some ideas on how to keep going.

How to Get Started

  • Think Local - All those places you used for NaNo events, libraries, schools, cafes, etc - may be more than willing to launch something similar with enough interest. Just because it won't have the NaNoWriMo name slapped on it doesn't meant it can't continue. My local library has started a monthly write-in event, for example.
  • Take the Initiative - If you know of a group that you usually NaNo with, it's never too late or early to reach out to them about create an alternative plan. You probably aren't the only one thinking about it!
  • Talk to your (former) ML - Many Municipal Liaisons I know feel burned by NaNo and won't join it again, but they did love running the event. My local ML is continuing our group under a different name, and yours might appreciate getting assistance or sharing resources about how to run a month-long writing event if you ask.
  • Find Your People - If you're in school, new to an area, or just not good at reaching out, I feel you. But if you do nothing, you get nothing. Reach out to people you know. Online Discord or Zoom meetings can work just as well as in-person events if you're too remote or broke to meet.

What to Use to Get Started

  • Shut up and Write provides quick and easy ways to find local groups or form your own to carry the write-in momentum all year round.
  • MyWriteClub copies the writing tracking method of NaNoWriMo to keep track of your wordcount.
  • Pacemaker Planner offers multiple ways to track your writing.
  • Regular old Excel. Or LibreOffice if you'd prefer to wash your hands of Microsoft. It's not as exciting, but a regular spreadsheet with an AutoSum of your daily progress can work just as well as a fancy website.

You can keep going with the NaNo energy without the official name. My local library has started a monthly write-in, and I know many people who have found success with Shut Up and Write. Look into what works for you!
