30 year old with not enough time on her hands

So many feels. 

we need some more aos jim appreciation. everyone reblog with your favorite aos jim pic or gif :)

Kirk: Spock, what should you have known?

Spock: Jim…. This simple feeling…

Captain and First Officer.

Captain Abbot is back there giving Jim and Spock the stank eye while they have their Sam Smith, Stay With Me convo, which is rude considering that young lady across from him is attempting to have a polite conversation. 

I grieve with thee.

Translation from Steno requested by @quietoceanlove: Live Long and Prosper

RIP Leonard Nimoy, who will have been gone one year as of tomorrow. He’s always been very inspirational to me, and has motivated me during the bulk of CR school. I’m thankful to have been able to appreciate his work, and let it help inspire my own even if court reporting doesn’t have much to do with Star Trek.

(well, except for that one time when they called for a court reporter over the intercom of the Enterprise in Star Trek Five?! Shit, I can’t remember. It’s whatever one has Valeris in it. I’m just stoked my profession made it in the movie!)

The second part is a secret, though. No one knows. Not even Jim. Yup.

So, still in the hospital, basically just fucking around on my phone, and I go to the star trek fic finder site because sometimes, I see cool stuff there to go bookmark. Anyway, see a post that sparks my interest, look in, see someone was kind of enough to rec my fic, which always makes me nervous because every time my fic is recced, someone talks trash about it in the same post. I remember a user named Zorya talked major trash about my previous fic, the perdition series, and basically made me feel like the shittiest writer alive. (this person still stalks my stories, but never leaves a signed review) 

Anyway, this is why I’d rather not have my fic recced there. Fucking this ^^

This reply to whoever recced me is annoying as fuck, and completely wrecked whatever compliment it contained. Not only does it make my fic look like some sadistic, over the top fic that only the strongest of the strong can read, but I seriously don’t know how else to warn for my fic, guys. 

I seriously don’t, and I’m at wits end trying to do it. I put right in my author’s note at the beginning of HWO how heavy my fic is going to get in terms of angst. I put fucking XXXXXXXX’s on all the graphic scenes, which is something I haven’t seen anyone else do for non-con, but I do it. I tried to warn for everything that I could think of that wouldn’t spoil the plot, and I’m really fucking tired of people complaining about my warnings, and that I need more of them, because like, I physically can’t put more than I already have. 

Because of shit posts like this, I feel like anytime I get a new reader, I have to throw out a blanket reply to them that says, “hey anytime you feel uncomfortable with reading, please know that I won’t be offended if you stop reading, because the material gets quite dark, and you can definitely stop reading,” like it’s my responsibility if you read my fic and get offended because hey, my warning actually warned for something and you weren’t expecting me to go there. 

I’m having a shitty morning. You get no sleep in this place, so maybe that’s why I’m so on edge right now, but I’m just going to reiterate here and now that YOU are the Shepard of your own experience on the internet. When you press ‘proceed’ you are a consenting adult, and I am not obliged to hold your hand throughout the reading process. You are an adult reading adult themes, and you are aware of your own triggers and limits. Just because you see my warning, and take it lightly, like I’m just joking about the tag that says ‘graphic depictions of rape’ or like I’m just putting the tag, ‘the angst in this is heavy’ for shits and giggles— does not mean I should put sirens up and attach it to speakers anytime someone comes around my fic with ten foot pole so that you feel you were properly warned. 

I put warnings up because it’s the nice and polite thing to do. You go into Barnes and Noble, you get no such tagging system. You get no ‘warnings’. You get a summary. 

That’s it. Books in a bookstore are separated by category and age. That’s all the warning you get. And that’s shit you’re paying for. 

Warnings, believe it or not, do spoil a story, but I have no problem putting them up for my fics because like I said, it’s polite, it’s helpful, and it’s tradition to do so. But please stop holding me to a standard that I cannot fill. I cannot warn more than I already do, and I’m tired of being made to feel like that’s not enough, and that whenever someone does get offended by my material, I’m responsible. 

You are responsible for what you read. I don’t force my fic on anyone, and I’m tired of people making me feel like I’m some sadist behind a keyboard. 

Dear anon: Try reading the tagged description of the fic for once ^^^^

Seriously guys, I really don’t know why people don’t bother to read the tags, then blame the author for not properly warning them. Frankly, it’s rude. 

haha, yeah, honestly, there’s too many tags there short of a klaxon attached to the ‘proceed’ button…

so after over a year of knowing one another, I finally got up to the courage to call my fandom platonic love crush, and arguably bestest friend on the phone for the very first time. Imagine my nerves when I dialed up @quietoceanlove… 

But then, after hearing her voice for the first time, it just became the easiest experience in the world. I felt like I was talking to an old friend I’ve always known.

Thanks for the three hour long conversation, my dear. Easiest three hours of my life :) 

@missbamf, before you called I was soo nervous, *making not so subtle mental calculations about how many times I could avoid saying ‘um’ to the platonic crush*

and then you called and it was literally like we just picked up the conversation from where we left off via text! It was incredible to finally talk to such a close friend and I went from being nervous to this:

I still don’t know where those three hours went, my friend, but I can’t think of a better person to spend that time with. :)

oh. my. God. LOVED this. yeah, you’re very right in that the conversation literally picked up from the text messaging! And I remember the chills on my arm from how excited I was! You also have a lovely voice, hun. And, I can’t wait until a certain something gets published….
