<3 the truth of Fanfic

to all the fanfic writers whose works I’ve read so many years ago, whether or not you’re still writing, I hope you’re well and I hope you’re enjoying your lives in which you’re surrounded with love and happiness because you deserve that. I hope you know I still think about your writings and I hope you know those words still have an impact on me, no matter how many years it’s been. I hope you know I still remember all the lines that I adore from your fics, I hope you know they still make me smile to myself whenever I think about them. I hope you know the “silly fics” you wrote that you think no one will read still have an impact on someone out there who are probably across the world from you. I hope you know your works have an impact on this world, and I hope you know there are someone out there who will remember and cherish your works for the rest of their lives.

your “silly fics” have permanent impact on someone.

We are all Simon- and I don't know about you... but yes. yes i am.

( If it wasn't obvious I have already preordered Slow Dance and can not wait to read it)

I'm promoting my next novel, Slow Dance, today, and I was thinking ...

Obviously Simon and Baz aren't in this book. But some of the themes that I was digging into in the trilogy, specifically in Any Way the Wind Blows, are also themes in Slow Dance. Like, my brain kept working on them.

And I think people who have invested deep thought into Simon and Baz will notice that expansion. There were moments when I was writing when I thought, "Ah, there you are, Simon. Still struggling, eh?"

this is my new favourite story in the whole universe: cheese, impromptu airport picnics, queer meet cutes, samurai guide dogs, family trauma, flight delays- whats not to love?

if it doesn’t turn into a feature length hallmark movie i will be outraged

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

How did you get into bookbinding? What would you recommend for someone who's interested in getting started?

Hey there,

thank you for asking. I got into bookbinding by undergoing training. I'm a professional bookbinder, which made it much easier (just getting shown how things are done and having experienced binders look at my mistakes and explain where I went wrong is incredibly helpful).

For someone who's interested in getting started in bookbinding and does not have the opportunity to take classes. I would say, first pick the style of binding you want to try. I would recommend to start simple. Give yourself the time to build up your skills and get to know your materials (glue, paper, board, maybe bookcloth). Many like the coptic binding to start with, but you can start out with a case binding too. It will be more complex, but it's totally do-able to begin with too. Then search the medium you learn well from and look for information there. For example, there are fantastic, beginner friendly books. I like 'Books boxes and portfolios' by Franz Zeier in that respect. It focuses on the basics, but not only of books but also boxes, folders and portfolios.

There is also really great online content written and with pictures to lead you through the processess step by step.

As for videos. Sealemon has easy to follow instructions. I'm personally not a huge fan of how she works, because she skips too many steps I find important too, BUT professional binder here. As straightforward bookbinding is in theory, there are a lot of details one can pay attention to, but which are not essential to produce a fully functional and good looking book and she does get one there. Bookbinding can be a money drain, but it doesn't have to be! You can go a long way with simple, improvised tools. Pretty paper can be bought in craft shops and printer paper from bureau supply sections, box cutter and x-acto knives. Cans of food, milkpack, big stones for weights. If you don't own a cutting matt, you don't need one. Some flat and clean board that is 2mm thick or more will perfectly do. The few things I do recommend a bonefolder, it just makes things easier on the fingers (and nails) and other materials can leave coloured streaks. (As do rings and nailpolish btw. so if you like that, apply a clear top coat on the polish and take off rings before working with white paper). A 25/3 or 30/3 linnen thread for sewing together with a block of beeswax to wax the thread before sewing. (Beeswax candles will do, but not normal candles. They are made of stearine which will make the thread sticky and more difficult to use). On a last note, there's @renegadepublishing and their discord serverw here you find all stages of binders. experienced ones and beginners to ask questions. The server is huge and can be a bit overwhelming, but there's always soemone there (or a few) who will do their best to help and likely has run into a similar problem at some point. So this got a bit lengthy and I'm sorry for that but I hope it helps.

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

- A Most Wanted Man, John le Carré

I’ve posted about this a bit but I just realized that you can also try to donate to whatever version your country has of Planned Parenthood!

Sooo with that in mind ….

If you are Canadian ( like myself)

Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights

Is the place I would suggest! ( it’s where i donated)

Here’s the main site:

Here is where you can donate:

And here is where you can learn more about this issue and what else you can do to help:

But here is some information about some cool stuff they do:

- a fund to help folks who have to travel to receive abortion services or sexual health services, that helps pay for the travel costs/care

-Beyond Basics- sex positive information for educators about sexual health and identity

- an Access line you can use to get prompt responses on questions regarding your sexual and reproductive health. Definitely a good one to bookmark

And ok its a lot of links but i just thought these were cool resources, so i added them.

-a toolkit to help 2SLGBTQ+ communities with their birthing needs

- sexual rights law and policy database

If you do donate don’t forget to send an email to [email protected] with a screenshot of your donation receipt as proof of purchase (? Donation?) -

REMEMBER! it must be a minimum of $20 US money ( which is- $27.38CAD in case you were curious) but !

You can donate more! You can even participate in a campaign and write to your government about how important sexual and reproductive rights are to you!

Everything you need to know about the Lady Ruth's Recipes charity zine:

What is it?

It's a Carry On themed charity zine supporting Planned Parenthood! There are over 20 recipes (submitted by people within the fandom) and each recipe is accompanied with either a fic or a piece of art (and sometimes both!) that features the food from the recipe. It will be available in digital form only.

The stories and art cover a wide range of characters and relationships from the Carry On universe. And the entirety of the content is rated G or T.

When does it come out?

The zine will come out on December 1st, 2023. Pre-orders will be open from now until the release date. The zine will also be available for 4 weeks after that date. After December 31st we will no longer be fulfilling orders, so if you want a copy, get it before it's gone!

How do I order a copy?

We're asking people to make their donations directly to Planned Parenthood (or your country's equivalent for reproductive care services, if that is easier). After doing so, send a screenshot with proof of your donation to [email protected] and your pre-order will be submitted! A minimum donation of $20 USD is required, but you are welcome to donate more. If you are buying copies for more than just yourself, please note that in your email and list out the extra email addresses that those copies should be sent to.

Who contributed to the zine?

We have many contributors that made this whole project possible! We'll be teasing everyone's work in the weeks leading up to the release of the zine, but here's the big list of everyone involved!
