Call me Lin Asexual biromantic. Nonbinary (they/them). 27. Autistic. Sliding from the Check Please fandom into the Queen's Thief fandom. I'm lincyclopedia on AO3.

Y’all, I am offering THREE things in Fandom Trumps Hate this year, and bidding is now open, which means I encourage you to check them out! Here’s what I’m offering:

1. A Queen’s Thief fic of 5k-10k words, max rating T. Here, I’m especially excited about Gen/Irene, Costis/Kamet, Gen & Helen, Irene & Helen, and Gen & Costis. I’d particularly love to write an AU, either a fandom standard like a college AU or something more off-the-wall!

2. A podfic of a Queen’s Thief fic that’s 5k-10k words, max rating T. This fandom could use more podfic, and I would be excited to provide!

3. Fan labor on your fic of 10k-20k words, any fandom, max rating T. I’m offering sensitivity reading for autism, culture-picking for the Upper Midwest region of the US, and/or beta services focused on SPAG. This is the same thing I offered last year, and I had a great time and I think my bidder did too!

I love Fandom Trumps Hate so much, and I’m looking forward to working on some fun and interesting projects again this year! If you want to be the one supplying the prompt or benefiting from my fan labor, go bid!

[alt text: Image of a cheerful Brown Owl in a cartoony style holding a dollar bill in its claw on a green field. Text above the Owl reads “End OTW Racism. Donate to the OTW & become an OTW voter” Text below the Owl reads “elections.transformative works.org/voting . Last day to donate to become a voting member is June 30”]

Eligibility to vote in the upcoming OTW elections is determined by membership. Due to legal requirements, the OTW restricts membership to those who have made a minimum donation. Read more about that here and if you are comfortable, donate by June 30th so you can Vote in this year’s Board Elections.

Voting is only one way to make a difference, however, and we fully support those who are not comfortable donating (or are unable to). Follow us and look at our Call to Action for other ways you can help support change at the OTW and end racism within our fannish spaces!

Tomorrow is the last day! So try to get your donations in if you are planning to donate!

The first PRIDE was a riot

Stormé Delariverie, the first woman pictured is a mixed Black butch lesbian who was dressed in drag that night because she had just finished performing as a Drag King at the The Apollo and Radio City Hall. She’s literally referred to as the “Rosa parks of the gay community.” Not trans but certainly a gnc black lesbian.

Sylvia Rivera, who has admitted to throwing the 2nd Molotov was a Puerto Rican/venezuelan trans woman, she’s pictured last holding the banner with the bob cut.

Rivera is standing beside the beautiful and always smiling Marsha P. Johnson. She was another Black trans woman who pioneered the movement. She was at so many protests and queer events that I couldn’t pick a photo!!!

On August 5, 1961, four party-going sailors entered Black Nite, a popular St. Paul Avenue gay bar in Milwaukee, on a dare. They started a fight with the bouncer, only to be chased out of the bar by gender-nonconforming Black “queen” Josie Carter, who knocked one of the men unconscious with a bottle. It’s the first recorded LGBT uprising.

One day in 1966, an officer placed his hand on a trans woman at Compton’s—she responded by throwing her cup of coffee in his face. A riot erupted as dozens of trans people, drag queens and gay men fought the police. They broke windows, destroyed a police car, and set a newsstand on fire. Drag queens hit police with heavy purses. In the end, however, police arrested the women.

The ‘Flower Power’ Protest. The Patch was an LGBTQ bar in Wilmington owned and managed by Lee Glaze. Glaze had a secret signal—he’d play “God Save the Queen” on the jukebox—to announce that police officers were entering the bar, allowing patrons time to comply with the discriminatory laws. On August 17, 1968, undercover cops left the bar and returned with several uniformed officers for backup, though it’s unclear what prompted this action. They fanned out and began to screen the crowd, looking for IDs that didn’t “match” the holder’s outward appearance.

He marched everyone to buy flowers and then they waited at the police station for the two to get out.

There are cis white people in these photos because the trans people were in jail. This is them standing in SOLIDARITY for their GNC community.

You DO owe Stonewall to POC and trans people and drag queens and drag kings and GNC people, whether you like it or not.

I hope nobody ever feels comfortable saying this ignorant ass shit to me again.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

There are some elderly people near me in this restaurant and two of them started talking about their trans nephew really affectionately… maybe there is good in this world……

One of the old women was joking about how she “just can’t figure out what he’s gonna do next!” because her nephew is “so energetic.” The man she’s with was talking about how confident he is on testosterone compared to how “depressed and introverted” he was before “getting on the stuff.” I love this so much. Shout out to supportive old people.

The older guy accidentally misgendered the nephew once but immediately corrected himself, and later said “he’s really a bright young man!” while bragging. Peace and love on planet earth. <3

shygryf asked:

10 and 21 please?

Thanks for the ask!

10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

My current fandom is pretty small, so I feel like the reality is that most of my fics in that fandom just don’t get much of a response, period, which is its own kind of surprise. The exception to this is “Gen’s Least-Favorite Things,” a piece of filk that I wasn’t sure I was even going to post on AO3 because it was already on the fandom Discord, but I decided to post it for the sake of completeness … and it almost immediately became my most-commented-on piece of filk? (I’ve got 14 pieces of filk in this fandom.) That was bizarre.

21. Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours laboring over it? If so, why?

Answered here!

Fic asks: 21, 23, 26!

Thanks for the ask!

21. Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours laboring over it? If so, why?

Probably? I’m pretty bad at killing my darlings, but I’ve written a LOT of fic (I recently added up my AO3 word count and my FFN-only word count, and the total was well over 700k), so it’s bound to have happened a few times. The closest concrete example I can think of is when I was rebooting a Lizzie Bennet Diaries fic that I had titled “Respect” on FFN. When I transferred it to AO3 under the title “The Difference an Evening Can Make,” I almost completely rewrote the last three chapters, which definitely involved deleting entire scenes. I did that because the original version had involved Lizzie and Darcy getting together while Lizzie was shadowing at Darcy’s company, and those power dynamics bothered me way more while writing the reboot at age 26 than they had when I wrote the original at age 20.

23. How do you choose where to end a chapter (if you have multi-chapter works)?

I used to spend a lot of my writing energy on multi-chapter fics, but it’s been a while. Other than the aforementioned “The Difference an Evening Can Make,” which was a reboot of a fic I wrote several years ago, most of the multichapters I’ve written recently have been drabble series, which make it very easy to decide where to end the chapter because there’s a very specific word limit! Other than that, I think I generally just tried to wrap up a scene–I didn’t often have multi-scene chapters.

26. Is there something you’ve written that you would never want your family to see?

Hahahahaha yeah I have a Dysfunctional Family tag for a reason. I think the biggest problem would be if my parents ever read “A Few Things, Maybe Several Things,” a fic about terrible parents and the harm they cause that I wrote on Mother’s Day two years ago.

Oh. I just realized this question might be about smut, not anger. Yeah, that too, I guess, but that would be awkward, not, like, potentially catastrophic.
