Oh wow

squid’s laws of fic (not inclusive)

first law: write the fic you wish to see in the world aka goddammit do I have to do everything myself around here

second law: it’s going to be longer than you think. much longer. hahaha so long. why are you crying 

third law: the time spent writing is inversely proportional to the amount of smut present, dammit

fourth law: flesh out your secondary characters. make them real people. have them take over. oh god. put them back. somebody please help 

fifth law: the time spent researching canon is directly proportional to the amount of time you’ll spend altering your plot. that one person on the internet 

sixth law: the time spent researching in general will eclipse the time you spend writing. the nsa agent monitoring your internet search history is curled up in a corner. his boss wants to know if you’re a threat. “I don’t know,” the agent sobs. “I just really don’t know.” 

seventh law: at some point, someone will ask what your favorite hobby is. you will feign a heart attack to get away

eight law: cultivate your fannish friends, because someday you will need to know bedroom layouts in fifteenth century Estonian villages or the lyrics to that 80s garage-band song you heard twice, and Google will have nothing.

Calling on @blackkatmagic

So true. All of them.

Last two are my favorite😄

Eyes! I vote it’s him.

Not a good pic though

HAPPY NATIONAL UNDERWEAR DAY!

That’s important

Beautiful man next to a beautiful car! 

And, btw, I totally called it. I picked the Jaguar F-TYPE as Rupert’s dream car. See here!

How To Tell If You Are In A Jane Austen Novel

found on the-toast.net

• Someone disagreeable is trying to persuade you to take a trip to Bath.

• Your father is absolutely terrible with money. No one has ever told him this.

• All of your dresses look like nightgowns.

• Someone disagreeable tries to persuade you to join a game of cards.

• A woman who hates you is playing the pianoforte.

• A picnic has gone horribly wrong.

• A member of the armed forces has revealed himself to be morally deficient.

• You once took a walk with a cad.

• Everyone in the neighborhood, including your mother, has ranked you and your sisters in order of hotness. You know exactly where you fall on the list.

• You say something arch yet generous about another woman both younger and richer than you.

• You have one friend; he is thirty years old and does business with your father and you are going to marry him someday.

• You attempt to befriend someone slightly above or slightly below your social station and are soundly punished for it.

• A girl you have only just met tells you a secret, and you despise her for it.

• You have five hundred a year. From who? Five hundred what? No one knows. No one cares. You have it. It’s yours. Every year. All five hundred of it.

• There are three men in your life: one true love, one tempting but rakish acquaintance, and a third distant possibility — he is courteous and attentive but only slightly interested in you. He is almost certainly the cousin or good friend of your true love, and nothing will ever happen between you two.

• A woman who is not your mother treats you like her own daughter. Your actual mother is dead or ridiculous.

• You develop a resentment at a public dance.

• Someone you know has fallen ill. Not melodramatically ill, just interestingly so.

• A man proposes to you, then to another, lesser woman when you politely spurn him. This delights you to no end.

• A charming man attempts to flirt with you. This is terrible.

• You have become exceedingly ashamed of what your conduct has been.

• A shocking marriage of convenience takes place within your social circle two-thirds of the way in.

• A woman in an absurd hat is being an absolute bitch to you; there is nothing you can do about it.

• You are in a garden, and you are astonished.

Good that his nipples are still where they were though!😂

Oh.

@laure00001 and @zeffy001

Where are all of our former HL and now P & P fans?? 

Screw Darcy! Wickham rules!

How many times must I explain it to you two? Wickham is s scoundrel!

I don’t know why, but when I see his silly smile, I think about that fic with the whip.

~*~*~*~TRUMPET SOUND~*~*~*~

To all Homeland fans — current, former, and undecided on the matter — I’m here to announce that our belovedest Frangi is organizing the second annual Homeland Fan Fic Advent, even though she is way too busy to do it. 

Last year, we ended up with 31 pieces from 20 or so different authors. There was something new uploaded every single day from December 1st (It’s a Wonderful Fucking Life by Sydney) to December 25th (A Homeland Christmas by Cynthia), with six bonus fics to round out the year. 

This year, we’re looking for a repeat! I’m personally haranguing some of our more reticent blog members into writing fics that will emulate the joy of the season, but that leaves you guys. 

All the details can be found over here at the HomelandStuff community on LiveJournal. 

We’d all be psyched if you’d join the party. If you haven’t written fic before, don’t sweat it. Sydney’d never written before and she slammed it outta the goddamn park with It’s a Wonderful Fucking Life. She hit the ball so hard she came back with “A Hanukkah Miracle.”

Beta readers, artists of all kinds, and cheerleaders welcome.

Once again, deets are here. Tell your friends!

More fics - one more reason to look forward to Christmas! Join the party! 🎄

Yay!🍾🎄🥂🍊

Have fun - Carrie and Quinn are having fun too …

New chapter by our very own Frangi. 🔥🔥🔥 And a great spyplot. 🕵️

It’s a Frangi fic, so….happy reading!

Four very different Darcys. Which one is your favorite?

You must be kidding!

Oh, @zeffy001, you mean the Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies then?

I hesitate. The third one is pretty awful too.
