Fics, Fandoms, and other stuff.

[extrapenguin]

I write stuff occasionally – mostly fic, some meta, reviews, and general thoughts. The best way to find my works is on AO3: ExtraPenguin. I also have a tumblr: extrapenguin. If you catch sight of an ExtraPenguin anywhere, it's probably me. My name is spelled as ExtraPenguin whenever orthography permits. Any pronoun save "she" or "it" is fine.

I maintain a tumblr for generating title suggestions; the maintenance/improvement post is here. I mod the space_swap exchange as well as past iterations of the Bujold Fest and the first two years of coronationceremony.

Transformative works: I give blanket permission to translate, remix, podfic, make fanart of, etc. any of my fics, provided that you list it as a related work on AO3 or otherwise make me aware of the result.

Friending: I will follow if you post about stuff I'm interested in at the moment. I give access much more stingily, but you're not missing much – the occasional post where I'm slightly less vague about my RL or just want to post something (fandom-y) that is not indexed by google, at a rate of maybe twice a year. Feel free to follow me or give access to me whenever, and also comment on whatever post you wish to comment on.

My fandoms are mostly SF things. Currently, I have fallen down the Star Wars rabbit hole, both prequels and KOTOR/SWTOR era. Other interests include linguistics, engineering, space, and writing origfic. My fic is on AO3 (big fandoms: Guardian, The Goblin Emperor, Vorkosigan saga, Modao Zushi), and here are my tags for fic recs, icons, and meta.

Hi!

I gather that you found me via FFA the "complaining about Honor Harrington" tag. :D It's good to meet you!

We seem to have a lot in common - not just SF novel fandoms, but also horses and feminist critiqutes! (And I like most kinds of science, too.) I'll be heading back to read your reaction posts, but wanted to introduce myself first.

Hi!

Yup, guessed correctly! I wish my DW was a bit more active, but I can never seem to figure out what to post here. It's mostly short-ish reactions to books I've read and "hey I wrote a fic" announcements. Do you know of a good "topic generator" thingy?

[stardreamer]

Hi! I'm guessing that you found me on AO3 via my Goblin Emperor fics -- it's a very small fandom. I don't actually write all that much, but I'll cheerfully look at what you write.

I just wanted to drop a thank you for your title suggestion tumblr, because it just saved my 520 assignment ;)

[extrapenguin]

Yay! I'm glad it's serving its intended purpose.

Hello! I offer up access with ease, but it's mostly me moaning about RL (with fandom mixed in, bc I cannot compartmentalise for love nor money). So you're welcome to it! But I also don't judge if you want to avoid the chaos. :D

I really like your fic btw! ♥

[extrapenguin]

I am 100% for all fandom content, even mixed in with RL, so: yes please?

[ghostgum]

:D

I love the title generator! It just saved my fic for intoabar.

[extrapenguin]

\o/ It's very, very useful.

Hi, hope you're doing well. I saw you mentioned on Discord a few months ago that you were planning a character-matching exchange sometime in the April-June timeframe; is that still in the works?

[extrapenguin]

Hi! It's still in the works – I have a comm theme picked out and everything – but I have some logistics stuff to sort out wrt getting a comod/tagmod and what the actual name will be. I'm currently leaning towards CharactOR Exchange but I'll give myself a few days more to decide.

[primeideal]

Awesome, thanks so much. I know some people who may be looking forward to it :D

Good luck with the logistics.
