Wintersday’s Door

DW username: wintersday

Light is on for: Anyone and everyone who wanders by.

What's in the Bowl? Drabbles and drabble variations (double, triple, sequence), 3-sentence fic, ficlets under 1000 words

My current main fandoms are:
- Homestuck (including Friendsim/Hiveswap but not including the Epilogues/H^2)
- Fallen London/Sunless Sea/Sunless Skies
- The Magnus Archives (not including Protocol)
- Mad Max Fury Road
- Rogue One
- I’m interested in trying out fic for The Silt Verses, but I’ve only made it through Episode 40, so nothing post-canon yet
- I’m also interested in trying out original fic, especially original f/f

I’m also happy to get prompts for any fandom I’ve written previously, but whether or not I’ll be able to write anything for them is chancier.

Let Me Know:

- Please give me a character or ship and a prompt of some kind (words/phrases, images, song lyrics, scenarios, etc.)
- Let me know whether there are any major content or stylistic DNWs you’d like me to avoid
- Whether there are any things you would especially like to see

Other info:

- I’m happy to write f/f, f/m, m/m, ships with nonbinary characters, and poly ships of any configuration
- Smut and kink requests are welcome, including pwp. I can’t guarantee being able to write everything, but if it’s not on my won’t write list, feel free to give it a shot, and I’ll do my best
- Common DNWs that I am willing to write: noncon, darkfic, sibling incest, cannibalism, major character death
- I won’t write: sexual content involving characters aged 14 and under, cross-gen incest, graphic depictions of harm to infants and toddlers, RPF, omegaverse, race kink, real world tragedies or atrocities, heavy focus on real world bigotry

Regarding Neil Gaiman

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 01:32:01 GMT

Brief discussion of real life sexual violence

I don’t often post here, but it needs saying and so I’ll say it. I was a fan of Neil Gaiman for a long time. No longer. He has been accused of sexual assault and abuse. The outlet that broke the story is transphobic and I do not support their bigotry, but it is worth remembering that Gaiman himself is a cis man, and having read the accusations against him, including details that can be falsified in court such as the filing of a police report, I find the victims’ own stories credible and convincing. I fully believe that they are telling the truth.

Transcripts are gathered here:

Warning: it’s bad.

The Liberation of Night in Sunless Sea, the older vision of the Liberation of Night in Fallen London (as seen in the Gloom Destiny), and the newer vision of the LoN in Fallen London are all different. This fic portrays the older Fallen London version (though I do like the newer and less unilaterally-negative take on the LoN a lot)
