Seen this around, it's been a hot minute since I've done one of these monthly AMA memes. I've not only got some new people following me but I'm also been slightly quiet lately, which happens every so often mainly due to having kind of having a writers block of what to post. I figure that at least with this meme I can get back into active posting with prompts given by others for next month.

How does this work? It's very simple: just PICK A DAY for the month of July and ask me a question to answer on that day :D
You can also ask multiple questions/multiple days if you want to. I'm very open and will answer most anything :)

Name: Elmyra (not.. like the character from Tiny Toons, like Aerith's mom from FFVII)
Age: I'm 18. Barely an adult, but an adult nonetheless.
Location: The Deep South, USA
Subscription/Access Policy: None. This is my "entirely public" journal where I post fandom stuff and silly life anecdotes. No qualms with minors as my journal is SFW, but I'd prefer anyone under 15 to keep their distance. I would also prefer not to interact with incest or pedophilia shippers, thanks.

Main Fandoms: Blue Lock, Wind Breaker, Tiger & Bunny, The Idolm@ster SideM
Other Fandoms: Vocaloid (or Vocal Synth if we want to get specific), Trauma Center, Promare
I have other random miscellaneous interests that don't take up quite as much brain space as well. I'm very slowly but surely trying to get into other stuff as well.
Fannish Interests: Fanart, fanmade merch, oshikatsu, making fan characters, and attempting to write fic to varying degrees of success.
OTPs and Ships: Let it be known that I am a multishipper, and also a huge OC x Canon fan-- I honestly spend more thinking about my OC x CC ships nowadays than CC x CC ships. Oh, and Background Character x Background Character. Here are some involving canon and at least somewhat-relevant characters I enjoy, though

Blue Lock: Allsagi within reason, no Egosagi, Noasagi, stuff like that. I also don't particularly care for Kaisagi but I don't have an issue with it, just not my cup of tea, but I specifically really enjoy Bachisagi, Kurosagi, Igasagi. Kunigiri, Nagireo, Kainess, Kindness Trio (Isagi/Nanase/Hiori), Tabiori, Tabieta, Aikusen
Wind Breaker: Sakunirei, Momjisaku, Sugisaku, Sugisakunirei, Togatomi, Hiisako, Umetsuba. You can also get me to enjoy Natokon(?) on occasion.
Tiger & Bunny: Pretty much exclusively Taibani.
SideM (I am not super familiar with precise ship names, apologies!): Terukao, Kaotsuba, Reishiki, Natsujun

Favorite Movies: I really only care about Promare and that's about it.
TV Shows: Nothing I haven't already mentioned.
Books: Flowers for Algernon, Things Fall Apart
Music: Oh boy, a little bit of everything? But my favorite artists are Interpol, Abandoned Pools, and sElf. As previously mentioned I'm really into Vocaloid as well.
Games: Trauma Center, Tomodachi Life, Splatoon, Pony Town
Comics/Anime/Misc: See "TV Shows", in reference to anime (or manga). I like science, history, old internet/fandom culture/software, editing, and coding.

Other Info: Pre-med student looking to specialize in forensic medicine. Proud autistic. Sapphic and taken, I have a lovely partner! Infamously attached to side/background characters. Please ignore how my journal is empty, I'm still deciding what to put as my first post. :P

Current Mood: satisfied

The Chinese movie Per Aspera Ad Astra was a lot of fun! A programmer must get into the dreams of several astronauts to wake them up.

Basically, we get Inception IN SPACE, with awesome visuals.

It's available on Netflix.

In a short period of time we've got the announcements that: the 2026 Christmas special for Doctor Who has been cancelled, showrunner Russell T. Davies (along with Bad Wolf TV) is exiting the show, and that the show itself won't be returning to television for some time as it's going to be shopped around.

Contrary to what's been circulating around online, only the Christmas special, which was originally planned to air this year, has been confirmed to be outright cancelled. Otherwise Doctor Who the show is just going on an indefinite hiatus until further notice. Of course this has led to much arguing over semantics, debating and speculating whether it'll just be a handful of years as the tender process is occurring or it could be another decade and a half gap like before, and questioning whether it'll continue where the RTD's Disney Plus version of the show left off or start anew.

( I have thoughts on all of this. )

So yeah, it's been quite a doozy within the Doctor Who fandom.

Current Mood: okay

I'm in a new (to me) fandom now, so I figured it was a good time to post my interests here, in case there are fans looking for others who share some niche favorites that you don't find too often...

Name: Cat

Age group: Fandom elder

Country: USA
Posting Habits: I usually post several times a week. 98% of my posts are fandom-related. That's why I'm here.
Dealbreakers: Conservative Republicans, fascists, 'phobes of all stripes, racists. I'm liberal and queer, for the record.

Subscription/Access Policy: Feel free to subscribe, I will do the same if we have similar interests. The majority of my journal posts are unlocked, so you aren't missing much by not having access. That means I may not grant access until after I've known you a while (depending on our mutual interests).

Main Fandoms: Miami Vice is my main #1 obsession right now.

Other Main Fandoms: (in timeline order) Star Trek, Starsky and Hutch, Quantum Leap, The Sentinel, Moonlight (TV), Torchwood, Leverage, Good Omens. I never leave any favs behind, once I love them I never stop. I'm always up for discussions about them, and still write fanfic in many of them.

Fannish Interests: I am a huge shipper of everything: m/m, m/f, f/f, and multi, but the majority of my current interests are m/m.
More Fannish Interests: I read and write fanfic, I like to make banners, icons, mood boards, music playlists, too. I do Miami Vice slashy episode recaps over on Tumblr.

OTPs and Ships: Sonny/Rico, Hardison/Parker/Eliot, S/H, Sam/Al, Jim/Blair, Mick/Beth, Josef/OMC/OFC, Janto, Aziraphale/Crowley. I mostly stick with the obvious (canon partners, friends, etc.).

Favourite Movies: I don't watch many movies these days, but a lot of my favs are those great 1980s classics. I love the Donald Strachey Mystery series, and Star Trek AOS.

TV Shows: I love a lot of shows from the 1970s and 1980s. I'm a nostalgia whore, and I love talking about the oldies. In addition to the ones listed above: The Equalizer (2021 Queen Latifah), Star Trek Discovery, Broadchurch, The X-Files, Red Dwarf, Blake's 7, Veronica Mars, Riptide, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Hardcastle & McCormick, Crossing Jordan, Doctor Who.

Other Characters: characters I don't usually ship but adore. Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, James Kirk, John Doggett, Robyn McCall (Equalizer).
Music: 1970s/1980s classic Rock, especially hair bands. Alt-rock from the 1990s. R&B (always listened to the Quiet Storm!), Motown. I'm pretty eclectic, although I don't go for much Country or Classical, and I'm not up on most of the current popular stuff.

Artists: LP, Melissa Etheridge, Daughtry, Poison, Kiss, 3 Doors Down, Tom Jones. I love a lot of songs from a variety of artists, but I rarely like enough songs by one artist to really consider myself a huge fan of theirs. The ones above are an exception to that.

I have sprained my ankle and cannot walk! I am being so brave and cool about it. Here is how assorted favourite characters of mine would deal with a sprained ankle.

Robert Grove of The Goes Wrong Show would be an enormous drama queen if he sprained his ankle.

Rei: The drama society go out for a hike together, and Robert sprains his ankle immediately. He goes 'Go on without me!' and then protests when they actually start to leave. They think he should just go back, but he's determined to finish the walk.
Riona: He insists on being carried. They're all struggling to lift him together, and then Annie shoves everyone aside and picks him up in a bridal carry. Everyone is shocked by her strength. Robert falls in love immediately.
Rei: He forces everyone to construct a palanquin.

Light Yagami of Death Note would follow all medical advice and wouldn't make a big fuss where anyone could see, but he would be absolutely livid to be injured. An extremely unwelcome reminder that he's only human after all.

Korra of Avatar: The Legend of Korra would also be furious about it, and would absolutely fail to rest.

Ellie of The Last of Us (particularly Part II) and Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII would both try to hide their injury and keep operating normally. I'm sure that will go well.

Elena Fisher of Uncharted might actually be sensible about it; she'll take a 'well, that's frustrating, but these things happen' attitude and look after herself. I'll try to be more like Elena than like Robert, tempting as it is to make my housemates build a palanquin for me.

I was wondering if I had anything else to add to this entry, and I've suddenly realised that I shared this tiny anecdote on Tumblr but forgot to post it here!

The danger of attempting to work while thinking about your blorbo: I recently had to write 'Land Rover' in the book I'm editing. I wrote 'Land Robert' on my first two attempts and, on the third, managed to write 'Land Rovert'.

I deleted the 't', surveyed my triumph, then thought, I'd better double-check that the vehicle is actually a Land Rover. Opened the search bar and typed 'land robert'.

mxcatmoon

Yeah, I read Tumblr and then come here to post my thoughts.

I still can't get over how so many fans' love their favorite characters specifically because the characters remind them of themselves. Or they head canon them with those same things/backgrounds/traits/etc. Then they argue about how 'blank'-coded the characters are.

I mean, sure, I might have something in common with a few of mine, but others are totally different from me and some I wouldn't even want to know in real life! There's only one I fee I know on a deeper level due to sharing some personality traits. It is kinda nice... but it's not a requirement or even something I'd want more of.

I don't even put myself in the character's shoes when I write them. I'm not thinking about how I would react in this situation, I'm asking myself how they would react (or, more accurately, they are telling me how they'd react and I'd better listen).

We're clearly not doing fiction/fantasy the same way.

More power to them. I know I'm not normal, and I'm okay with that. Wouldn't want to be.

Title: Ceremony

Fandom: Stargate SG-1

Pairing: Sam/Jack

Rating: T/PG-13

Summary: He could've said they were cousins, siblings, could've said Daniel was her husband, but the words that came out of his mouth had actually been "Sam and I are married, actually," and not, "we're her family."

Notes: 6000 words. Pretend relationship. Set mid season 4. Was labelled boot meet mouth in my docs.

A few weeks ago, when I was checking the Goes Wrong Show tag on AO3, a fic caught my eye: a fic about Trevor, tagged with 'noncon' and 'transphobia'. I didn't open it, but it stuck in my mind because it was the first Goes Wrong fic to use the noncon warning. I was glad to see some darkfic in the tag; it's good for the ecosystem!

A few hours later, I checked the tag again and found that the fic had disappeared.

I'd noticed the author, and I knew how to contact him; we didn't really know each other, but we'd interacted in passing just by virtue of both being active in this relatively small fandom. I sent him a message just to check he was okay; I said that I'd noticed his disappearing darkfic, and that I hoped no one had given him a hard time for the themes. He explained that he'd just got nervous, thanked me for reaching out and said he might post it again some day.

Yesterday, he got in touch and said he'd found the courage to repost his Goes Wrong darkfic. I was thrilled! I promptly read it and left an enthusiastic comment. (The fic in question is Corrective by Kestrel_Wylde. Be aware that it's very dark; it's explicit noncon in which transmasc Trevor suffers at the hands of an OC, featuring drugging and misgendering.)

And then I kept thinking about it. How would the Cornley Drama Society, who barely have a teaspoon of emotional intelligence between them, deal with something terrible happening to one of their own?

And then, with the author's permission, I wrote a follow-up.

This fic is less dark than the original on account of being about the assault's aftermath rather than the assault itself, but obviously it includes a lot of the same dark themes. It should be understandable even if you haven't read Kestrel_Wylde's fic; I wanted to make sure it would be accessible to people who want to read about Trevor's recovery without wanting to read the explicit noncon that precedes it.

Title: Kintsugi
Fandom: The Goes Wrong Show
Rating: 15
Pairing: Chris/Trevor
Wordcount: 3,400
Summary: In the aftermath of being assaulted, Trevor tries to piece himself back together with the help of the drama society.
Warnings: Past noncon, mentions of misgendering.
Notes: A follow-up to Corrective by Kestrel_Wylde (mind the tags), written with permission. Trevor is transmasc.

As promised since my review of The Edge of Sleep, here is my review and thoughts on Markiplier's recently released movie, Iron Lung.

( This is not an expedition. It is an execution. )

And in a fascinating discovery, fandom has been crossing over Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary, as both stories shockingly share many similarities, with the contrast being mainly in tone and genre -- one being more optimistic despite the dire situation while the other being nihilistic in a horrifyingly bleak situation with only a sliver of hope being possible. Fandom crossovers are a rare breed these days among certain fandom spaces so seeing this emerge has been an utter delight. Simon and Ryland Grace are also a pairing that came out of this, as well.

For Pride.

Why is it applicable? You'll have to watch the video to the end to find out.

Also, I'm working on my WIP for Pride month so I'm listening to my SF playlist. It's a fic in my series where Sonny and Rico have moved to Frisco and are working as private detectives, mostly helping the LGBTQ community when they need help and the police/others don't care. A mostly fluff piece (but some serious moments, too) of their first Pride parade.

Watch on YouTube

In other news, for at least a week my internet has been spotty, going in and out. Very annoying. Gotta post this fast, while it's still up. I hate that in this apartment complex, I don't have a choice in what company to use. If I did, I could get something better and cheaper... Sucks how they have a monopoly.

Yikes! 😉

So, before I start I should explain something. When I got into fandom, I didn't have a computer. I wrote my fanfic first in long-hand then on a word processor and saved to floppy disks that had their own unique format. Many of them were submitted to zines, to get contrib copies. However, I've always been pretty meticulous at keeping lists of all the fic I wrote and making sure I had copies of them all. When I switched over to a computer, I made sure my fic was converted or re-typed, depending on what was needed.

That doesn't mean some things weren't lost. Hard copies (handwritten) lost somehow, etc. There are a couple of fics I never did re-type, including my QL novel, Dreamchaser (but I have the zine). Somewhere, floating out in the vastness of some gen fanzine is a Quantum Leap/Miami Vice genfic I wrote. I don't remember what zine it was published in and I have very little memory of it except that the sports car and Elvis were involved. LOL. I remember it existing though. I could have sworn that I knew about the few that escaped containment.

I also have a pretty good memory for every fic I've written, due to my record-keeping.

Today, I found a fic of mine on the Internet Archive that I do not remember. Like, at all. I checked my computer files, and I don't have it on my hard drive with all the other fic. Well, I have a copy now. But I'm terrified to read it. 😁😂🤣 I'm sure many writers have stories like this of long forgotten fic, but I don't. This is unprecedented. Even with the couple of stories that are on other archives and those imported into AO3 through Open Doors that I never posted myself, I remember them. I'm sure I'll remember it once I start reading... I think.

Anyway, it's a bizarre experience for me. Now I'm trolling the Internet Archive to see if I can find any more lost sheep. 😉

I went to Bristol to visit my cousins over the weekend and had an absolutely lovely time!

These were the cousins who originally introduced me to The Goes Wrong Show, so they had a lot to answer for. I confessed to how hot I was for Robert, and I was heartened when my cousin S said she understood completely. "He's not my usual type," she said, "but he has such presence."

S doesn't really know anything about fanfiction, but she read my Goes Wrong fic about Vanessa joining the Cornley Drama Society, The Outsider, and she seemed to enjoy it! She laughed quietly a few times while reading, which was very gratifying.

"You should get in touch with Mischief Theatre!" she said, very earnestly. "You should send this to them. I'm sure they'd love knowing that someone put this much thought into their characters."

I thought that this was a) extremely sweet and b) a suggestion only someone who isn't into fanfiction would ever make. If Mischief ever come across my fanfiction, it is going to be because a third party sent them the link to my Goes Wrong website with the message 'lol look at this weirdo', as God intended.

Being in Bristol also meant I had the opportunity to visit the Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of my favourite places in the UK! It was absolutely bucketing with rain, so we couldn't admire the view for long, but it's still a gorgeous place even in terrible weather. Here's a sketch of the bridge I did back in 2018, in a Bristol café, just after seeing it for the first time:

The photograph I took in 2018 and used as the basis for the above sketch:

And the photograph I took two days ago, in worse conditions but with a better camera:

It's such a pretty place! Highly recommended if you ever happen to find yourself in Bristol.

Yesterday, I was on the bus. It was almost empty; I was one of five passengers on the top floor, all of us travelling alone and scattered throughout the seating.

I was a little nervous when one of the other passengers - a man - left his seat at the front and walked back, past all the empty seats and the two men sitting between us, to sit next to me, the sole woman on the upper deck.

This story ends well.

( Being hassled, and then being rescued. )

Anyway! This whole thing really got me thinking about kindness and humanity and brief connections with strangers. I don't know the name of the man who helped me out, and it's very unlikely that I'll ever see him again. But I'm glad he was there, and I hope good things happen for him.

And, if you have your own tales of a stranger doing something kind for you, I'd love to hear them!
