extrapenguin: Woman in pre-Tang Dynasty official's garb reads officially. (xia dong reads)
So, my dear friends list, yesterday was the day the 520 Exchange revealed its treasures, a total of 39 Guardian-related fanworks. I've read my own gift but not yet others', because another collection revealed itself recently! That is the Filthfest collection, which has 17 E-rated The Goblin Emperor fanworks. I contributed to both.

Loot addressed to me specifically:

[personal profile] lynndyre wrote me an amazing work of Ye Zun gradually drifting into the Zhao Yunlan–Shen Wei system and walking down the path of reconciliation! It was nice. I wanted to give Ye Zun all the hugs.

Under Rusted Skies (14339 words) by ExtraPenguin
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shěn Wēi/Zhào Yúnlán
Characters: Zhào Yúnlán, Shěn Wēi
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Space, Science Fiction
Summary:
Zhao Yunlan, Chief of the SID, got a call that tells him there is potential Dixing activity on Huoxing, one planet outwards from Haixing. Never one to waste a chance, he dangled the chance of a Huoxing trip in front of the hot professor. It went much better than the attempt with the old books, and now Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei are tumbling through the void towards Huoxing.

[personal profile] qwerty requested a space AU, so I poured out all my heart and soul of solar system sci-fi into this, where Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei go on a work trip to Totally Not Mars. It was lots of fun to write!

From the Depths (1498 words) by ExtraPenguin
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con
Relationships: Csoru Drazharan/Original Tentacle Monster
Characters: Csoru Drazharan, Varenechibel IV (The Goblin Emperor)
Additional Tags: Tentacle Rape, Tentacle Monsters, Voyeurism
Summary:
Her recently-wed husband brings Csoru to a remote clearing. Unfortunately, the events that transpire there are not what she expected.

[profile] farevenasdecidedtouse found the TGE AO3 tag all gen and low-rating het and launched a fest for us degenerates to porn it up. I wasn't sure if I could make it – I had an exchange and a longfic and other stuff on my plate – but I did manage to squeeze out some porn!

In other ficcing news, I put out chapter 5 of From Ashes of Sunlight (halfway through!), and now have 1k of the WIP I have termed as "spaceship rental". The actual title will be something completely different. It has also decided it will be multi-POV, as Professor Zhou, Shen Wei's professional mentor, has decided he needs to save Shen Wei's scientific career from the sad life of a bureaucrats' consultant.

Easter Monday counts as a Sunday, right? *g* I'm finally picking my way through the Space Swap collection that revealed (I know, bad mod), and I have some writing updates to share. I do not quite have six fics to share updates from, but ideas count as things, right?

1. That WIP? Now 41.9k according to gedit! AO3's wordcount is slightly lower than gedit's, always, but as I will have to fill in the sections that have [finish scene], it'll definitely be over 40k. It's the longest thing I've written, and it's novel-length! Woohoo! Posting will hopefully start during the first week of May.

"The art of cultivation requires a mind open to the world. How can your mind be open if you close your eyes to duty and fill your heart with hubris?" Wei Wuxian asked. "Now, let us sweep the training field. Hurry up and take a broom!"


2. My 520 Day Reverse Exchange Fic has quadrupled in wordcount! \o/ It is over the minimum already. Now I can just sail at the plot points I've planned. In an emergency, such as the plot growing into a 40k monster I cannot finish in time, the first scene sort of stands alone. (There's also another flexion point that could be rewritten into an ending a few scenes further in.) I really want to write the rest of the fic, though, and since this is now my biggest writing priority, it should be doable.

No quotes because this is exchange fic.

WBEX reveals are here! link

My giftfic the most perfectest thing:
A Century of Savvy Travelers: A Look Back at the GSST Project, 100 Years On (G, gen, 5.8k)
It's a retrospective book thingy with multiple travelogue excerpts in different styles and it's AMAZING. Words cannot describe how much I like it!

Periwinkle, Daffodil (T, multi, 2.4k, TGE)
This in-universe book review is well worth the read just for the descriptions of the books. (Also, I want that cape.)

Policies of the Dynasty (G, gen, 2.7k, TGE)
A look into the succession laws and such that made Maia Emperor. Features a deserved shutdown of Chavar.

Child of Ulis (T, gen, 7.9k, TGE)
An excellently-written look at pre-canon Thara Celehar, when he chooses his life of prelacy.

Blatantly grabbed from [personal profile] schneefink. The first line of my 20 latest fics!

incoherentish rambling )

In general, I tend to (especially in the last half of this year) have the initial sentence in the plusquamperfect and summarize past events with it and then either elaborate on said events or contrast with the present. Not all that much dialogue or action.

...and I did an answer here.

Now, one of the questions is, "provide an alternative ending to a fic of yours". The fic eventually chosen: Not in the Job Description. I wrote two alternative endings.

Happy alternative ending:

Try copying horses' ear emotions! There’s a quick guide here, but I’ll provide my own rundown of what to do in an Ethuverazin context:

Ears pinned back: either fear or FIGHT ME (stiff)
Ears pricked forwards: interest, curiosity (loose)
Ears drooping: sadness, dismay (stiff); relaxation (loose)
Ears up: haughtiness (stiff); enthusiasm, excitement (loose)

Faking an ear position would be stiffer than having it be a natural product of the emotion experienced. Stiffness vs looseness is kinda arbitrarily defined by me, but ear motility does affect the emotion conveyed. (Stiffness of ear = "stiffness" of mental state, I suppose?)
