( Fun times )

I will say - it was really nice to get some rain this week, late in the season. Also risked an hour-(gasp!)-long drive to go to the Nachsholim area, a little north of Caesarea, on the coast, for a night of basically nothing but chilling in a hotel with a seaside view with

marina, with a stroll down the historic pedestrian mall in Zichron in the afternoon, which felt like being a tourist in some other universe.

Following recs, I've been reading some Heated Rivalry fics, including Apogee by OpalApparition, a 50k space AU which I enjoyed a lot and felt a little like an Andy Weir book but with good UST and sex, and then followed that up with Wolfbird by the same author, a 170k pro-dom!Ilya AU which has taken over my brain and I am now obsessed, destroyed, all of the feels about. It is also a WIP so read at your own risk (but my god, read it).

Movies I have watched this week: Chaplin (1992), Zootopia 2, old home movies.

Words I have written this week: zero. At some point in 2023, before the first war (that one) started, I started writing a KinnPorsche/Discworld crossover, and then later 2023 happened, and I have written zero words since other than yuletide, and I really want to finish it before moving on to other stuff! It has, in fact, the potential to be a very cute story! I just need to... get there. And then I can write at least one of my HR fic ideas, which I would really, really like to happen sometime this year please, fingers crossed.

omgggggg that was the cough that wouldn't leave, urgh.

Let's see...
- whirlwind week of interviewing 3 candidates was horrible, but we have actually successfully hired 2 of them, and I'm pretty excited!
- then it was a week where Miss R got sick about halfway through the week, which threw everything off-balance. I was coughing a bit and descending into illness, but it was also the weekend of the comics pop-up so I just kind of .... pushed through it.... which is ultimately not great, because this week I really should have just called out from work, but instead I dragged myself into school and taught my classes while hacking my lungs out, yay. (I was masked and made sure to stay 6+ feet distant, and I only had to teach 3 classes, so it's actually not *that* bad. And I stayed in my car in-between classes so that I wouldn't infect anyone.) Wed-Friday was parent teacher conferences on Zoom, which was its own flavor of miserable, but at least I wasn't infecting anyone, and I did get to catch up on some work on Thursday. Friday afternoon (yesterday?!!) was when I finally started feeling better and getting energy back. And Miss R finally felt good enough to go back to school after missing 9 days, so ... yay!
- Just in time for the resumption of Chinese school today, and tomorrow Miss R has a joint minecraft-themed birthday party! Wow she is entering the double digits!!! I printed a bunch of minecraft block textures at work and last night I made some minecraft cubes (crafting table, furnace, cake, and chest).

Spouse is awesome and has made a Creeper piñata :)

So tomorrow is the big party!

Gotta remember to do tomorrow morning:
- make Minecraft cake
- buy candy to fill into Creeper
- maybe buy some chips/salsa? uncertain
- maybe buy some gluesticks and tape?
- disambiguate and put colored cubes in bags?

Gotta remember to bring:
- tape!!!
- boxes, made
- boxes, raw
- scissors and maybe exacto knife. ruler
- markers for folks who want to draw directly on the boxes
- cake!
- creeper!
- bandana for piñata hitting
- picnic blanket or tablecloth
- foods and snaxxx (cheese balls, chips & salsa)

Oh, I finished the Community Center in Stardew Valley on Year 2 Summer day 10, so now.... I've got nothing to do except to wait for Grandpa's approval, I guess. (I'm so disinterested in the late-game stuff lbr)

OMG Charlotte Stant's fic is SO FUCKING GOOD! Heaven is a Bedroom - Shane's a mormon missionary door-knocking with his fellow-elder Hayden and Ilya and Marley are roommates living in a house on their route. It's funny, incredibly hot, poignant and the most incredible complete AU, just wonderful writing. I want to have this fic's babies.

I wrote a fic!

I'm SO HAPPY guys, I haven't written fic in so long and certainly not with this enthusiasm! I have two more fics about halfway finished, and a lil plot summary (there is no real plot) for a fourth one. It's been a VERY long time since I've been like this. It's SUCH a nice place to back in. Especially for written porn, gosh. Apparently all I needed with a horrible dead lizard man. <3 Although not everything I'm working on features Victor Gideon. Just...half of it. XD;

I also went through and locked all of my fic to AO3 logged in users only. I had it so only logged in users could comment but then decided, nah. If you can't comment, you don't get to read! Sorry, not sorry, normies who go to consume fic on A03, don't comment, but then talk about it on tiktok or whatever. :P

(fandom has become so big, so present, so known, and I hate it hate it hate it)

EDIT: And a fifth one! \o/!

Saving a prompt table from

I binged the entirety of Deadloch season 2 on Prime today. The kink in my neck is none too happy, but damn that is an excellent show. Written by the 2 Kates, starring Madeline Sami, mwa! <3

In that vein, would anyone have any recommendations for communities/websites etc where I could find some lovely sapphic imagery? I've the urge to explore some more Thasmin art... possibly due to the spoilers coming from Big Finish... I am not fussed on rating, I'll make it work.

onto the meme!

1. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
I had friends on the SG1archive that were on Livejournal, and found it had a better community for the creative side of fandom than the forums. Joined LJ in 2007, mirrored DW as soon as I could get an invite, and finished up with my personal LJ when the Russians banned LGBTQI+2 content in 2017. I ran the

sg1_debrief on both sites until the post dried up.

2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
49, though if anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to build on that. Drag me out of my shell!

3. Do you have a favourite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
Probably the icon communities, I love seeing everyone's amazing work. Back in the day I loved running the challenges on

event_horizons because there were/are so few spaces where fic and art are respected equally, and running

sg_delights as a safe space for mature fanart. I do try to check my reading list at least once a week, life just gets in the way!

4. How did you pick your user name?
An old tv and a teenage obsession with Latin?

5. If you could change your user name, would you?
Nah, it's been too long now. I'm just Mags...

6. If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
Surprisingly, I am. I have periodically popped in just to keep it active so folks there can still access my older works, etc.

7. Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
I remember Denise posted something a while back about them trying to restrict use to Russian users only and implementing a pay to play system so they could track citizen's online activity hence an influx of new DW users. How many of our governments are trying much the same, dressed up as 'think of the children' whilst supporting the orange pedo starting another war...

Day off 2 out of 3:

( boring list, some suggestive content mentioned )

mific

Apogee by OpalApparition - where Commander Shane Hollander and Flight Engineer Ilya Rozanov are stranded on the International Space Station and have to survive a solar storm. It's an amazing mix of hard science, detailed knowledge of the ISS, space program history, intense action/adventure, gripping drama, an incredibly repressed Shane, pining, jealous Ilya, incendiary sex in microgravity, and romance. The writing is extremely good - gripping, fluent, with great descriptive detail. It's the best complete AU in the fandom I've read so far. (50,348 words)

I'm very into everything by OpalApparition, especially Wolfbird - a regularly updating WIP featuring professional dom Ilya and extremely uptight hockey star Shane. Although the way they meet is a BDSM club, in fact the fic's largely not about that (although there are several extremely hot scenes). It's more about the two characters, as despite his in-control dom role at the club, Ilya's actually a complex mess, an illegal overstayer with a ruined knee after a disaster very early in his NHL career, and Shane is the profoundly repressed hockey-robot star he'd be if he'd never met Ilya as a teen. It's addictive, and, as above, beautifully written. (currently 170,925 words)

What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)? I was reading Aragorn/Boromir fanfic on sites like Green Emeralds and The Fellowship and I followed the authors back to Livejournal, especially cruisedirector and ribby. I think Cruise might have given me the access codes for LJ. Then I bought a paid account in 2003. I came to Dreamwidth when it first started after Strikeout 2007 and posted both places for many years. In 2017, I deleted my original LJ and then a year later created a new one that has very minimal posting, never anything personal. I update it once a year to keep it going: raederle_of_an.

How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to? On LJ, it's only 7 at the moment. And none of them seem to post except the spn_j2_bigbang. On DW, the number is 131.

Do you have a favorite community or one you check out often to see what's new? I have divided the communities up into areas of interest using filters, so it depends on what I'm in the mood for. Right now, I'm most involved with bookclub_dw as I'm modding that and trying to get it launched.

How did you pick your user name? I originally wanted it to be 'Raederle' for my favorite fictional female character but that was already taken, so I tried 'Moonheart' for a beloved book, but that was also taken, so I substituted 'selene' for 'moon' and came up with Seleneheart. I didn't think about doing Raederle-of-An until much later.

If you could change your user name, would you? Eh, probably not at this point. Between LJ and DW, it's been 'seleneheart' for 23 years.

If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
Yes.

Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
I don't know - Russian shenanigans?

As usual, true scholars, please forgive my dilettante's sense of discovery over things you have always known.

When searching for some examples of "pleasing the heart" as erotic joy, as per

sovay's information, I arrived at this (in the ETCSL).

1. Well, a balbale, but the immediate internet is of limited use in defining this except as a form that uses variety in repetition.

2. For those interested, the transliterated Sumerian given for this phrase is ^dcu-^dsuen cag₄ ^dmu-ul-lil₂-la₂-ke₄ ba-ze2-be₂-en-na-ju₁₀.

I assume the subscript numbers refer to different versions of the cuneiform character. I dunno about the superscript d.

Just curious, does anyone else here use the site 4thewords with their writing?

For those who don't know what 4thewords is, it's a site that makes writing a game basically. You have a character you can make, level up, gets clothes/hair/etc for. Along with quests that require defeating monsters that you need to write a certain word count in a certain time limit.

I've been using the site for years and I adore it.

90 discussion questions. 1. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?

There are so many places! If I'm imagining myself being as physically limited as I am now - whereby I find walking difficult for more than about half an hour at best - then a cruise might be best.

I would like to cruise up the Danube and see the painted churches of Romania. But then again I would also like to cruise down the Nile and see Luxor. I could take a few lessons with Egyptian Raqs Sharqi teachers and get a new outfit while I was there.

If, on this imaginary trip, I'm also imagining myself as physically fit again, I'd like to go to Mexico and see what remains of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Or perhaps to Peru to visit Machu Picchu

Alternatively, my son would like to go to Japan, so perhaps I would use my imaginary trip to take him there.
