I have been informed that because I paint my nails to Marvel TV any opinions I have on the production of Wicked have been relegated to me being a "hater." Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

This post is still doing insane numbers, with people just losing their damn minds. "It's not supposed to look real." Yeah, practical props are not supposed to look like CGI either, but here we are. Dear lord.

I hope the membership cards finally getting updated and ready to go will help with this sting just a little.

HIM: "I left a bit of a mess because I don't have my broom, but I don't have my work truck, so I've just been trying to find the things I need as I need them. And it's Monday."
ME: "That sounds like Monday on hard mode."

Some water came down from a flood upstairs, making one of those bubbles. It's gone away, but you can see the damage. I have a mildew/mold allergy, so I'm really worried about it.

I think you can drop the "about ANORA" part and just leave that sentence like it is.

I said a T-Rex, and he told me I wasn't allowed to like a T-Rex; I had to like a flying dinosaur because I'm a girl. Tiny!Kaitlyn was not about that and told him in no uncertain terms that I could like whatever I wanted.

I mean, if you ask a copyright lawyer, yes. I guess the metaphor I would use is that if Star Trek was a sandbox and the established stuff were the toys already in the sandbox, you picked your own corner to play in, got some art supplies, and made your own toys, which is awesome <3

On AO3, people delete a lot. I recently downloaded my bookmarks, and there were hundreds of deleted fics. On AO3, it makes even less sense because they have the ability to "orphan" a story, so it isn't connected to your account. It's an archive, but archives only work if you don't delete old stuff.

I gave Wicked a mediocre review, and someone accused me of hating musicals. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know many of them have this knee-jerk reaction to delete and never look back. I don't blame people for that, but I wish more people would embrace the idea that we all start somewhere, even if that somewhere is writing in MS Paint because you don't know how to open Word.

Through it, I've found entire projects I've forgotten about buried in the depths of my computer, and I've had a grand old time designing covers for decades-old books and stories. It's hard for creatives to look back.

I have a few more to publish, but I have a row of books with my name on them that show how much work I've done over the years, and it's tangible in a way my articles and fanfic haven't been. I've been enjoying this process.

I spent several months using Lulu's print-on-demand service to get hard copies of everything from the first short stories I have copies of to the manuscript I've completed recently.

I spent three days in a daze using the Wayback Machine to get copies of everything I'd written. So, in my head, I've now backed up and archived the fanfic and the articles; now it's time to do the original stories, manuscripts, and whatnot.

I put all the context there that I was X age, using the "archive" part of AO3 for its purpose, and it felt good. In mid-2024, MTVNews vanished from the internet, and with it, I realized my first outlet also vanished from the internet.

Basically, we all wrote terrible self-insert Mary-Sue's when we were fifteen, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of saving on the archive. So, I backdated and uploaded all of my fanfic from 2000 to my return to fandom in mid-2010.

I occasionally go through and just hit "read: all" every couple of months, so my eye stops twitching, but my Dad gave me shit about it a couple of months ago. I showed him how I got 35 emails in ~12 hours, and that was just in the regular folder, not promotions.

The absolute shitshow that would be the Pope actually dying and Conclave winning.
