end of year writing meme 2023
Total Stories Written: 17
Total Words Written: 70,420
Average Words Per Story: 4,142
Shortest Story: Hair-Raising Tale, a Jonathan Sims character study
Longest: The Maid of Honor Made Them Do It, a Hatchetfield horror-comedy
Most Kudos: If You Show a God-Child Some Kindness, He'll Never Let You Go i really just hit the kairotic jackpot with this one, considering when i posted and the energy within the fandom
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
since i've finally lowered my expectations on word count from when i was a lonely high school and college student, i'd say i wrote what i expected to write.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write most?
pairing: jackieshauna from yellowjackets! they had their own fic and had a smattering of moments throughout my other yellowjackets fics
genre: horror-comedy
fandom: yellowjackets
all fandoms from the year:
the owl house: 2
dragon age: absolution: 1
camp here and there: 1
wolf 359: 1
the magnus archives: 3
succession: 2
yellowjackets: 4
hatchetfield: 2
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
i didn't expect to get back into starkid of all things
Did you take any writing risks this year?
i wrote a lot of fics that i knew wouldn't really appeal to people, so i gave up a lot of comments and kudos i guess?
Do you have any fanfic or general writing goals for the new year?
i want to get back to writing melting pot. i make no promises, but it would be nice
From the past year of writing, what was your…
Best story of this year: God Honoring Cannibalism! this story has everything! the yellowjackets stuck in the woods, elaborating on crystal's character, historical research, cannibal musical references, lottielee romantically promising to eat each other, jackieshauna breaking each other's hearts, and i feel like it really works as a story just as much as a joke. hands down the thing i'm proudest of writing this year
Personal favorite: Flipping off the Devil this is a fic for small spaces, a middle grade horror series that i loved but that disappointed me a lot in the second half. it was a great way to explore what i think would have made the books stronger and it was really fun to work with the characters
Most under-appreciated: part of your world (in which "world" means HELL) this w359 fic was a spinoff for a really cool supernatural inspired au. i thought i did a really good job of bringing alana maxwell's recruitment episode into it, but it was so niche that no one read it. disappointed, but understandable
Most fun to write: how the world was looking in the spring was so much fun. it let me do some fun historical research, write about grade school (which i LOVE) and give a fandom that doesn't get much fluff some very cute little lesbians <3
Story with the single sexiest moment: The Maid of Honor Made Them Do It. This is almost solely because it's the only fic that remembers sex exists, but also... stephanie lauter... it's not my fault your honor she's just <3 <3 <3
Most challenging to write: History's Longest Suicide Note! I'd been tinkering around with this tma fic for a very long time, and it was really hard to dig into the actual consequences of Jarchivist getting his way for the end of the world. Because it was NOT going to be pretty, and I wanted to try to show that to the best of my ability
Biggest disappointment: you can join the hive. i'm still not sure how well i captured the dynamics in this, and since it's a fic about travis martinez in yellowjackets i certainly wasn't going to get. like. positive feedback from the fandom, sigh.
Favorite character to write: grace chastity! it's a joy to write for all the hatchetfield characters, but grace just brings such a funny and tragic chaos to whatever she's in
Favorite opening lines:
Jess Jordan knew how to handle Kendall Roy. She’s been doing it for years, after all. She’s been there since he was young and freshly married and thought he was going to make some ethical super-company entirely separate from his father. She’s been with him through an adoption, a birth, multiple stints in rehab, multiple separations from Rava, a divorce, the death of his father and then his installation of a fascist.
A Frog Leaves Her Pot
Favorite closing lines:
The Wilderness did not get to keep them; it never truly had them in this world at all, thanks to a weird little theater kid and a devout Christian who watched a movie.
God Honoring Cannibalism
Other favorite lines:
So Amity grins wide, baring her teeth, as she holds a hand up towards her face in that intimidating, condescending way that she used to do so often and deftly. “So what does that make you?” She looks him up and down, trying to send him her most condescending look. “The Emperor’s abomination?”
I Tried to Get Better (How Did You Make Me Worse?)
“I’ll try- try to figure out some way for us to be normal again, okay Soph?” her mom asks. Sophie Roy, uberwealthy transracial adoptee who doubts she could ever be "normal", nods awkwardly. Then her mom helps them get settled at the table and they eat dry, slightly burnt waffles together and drink average coffee.
You're Not Elected, Sophie Roy
“I saw what happened to Jackie,” Javi tells him, eyes wide and scared, “ what you did .” Wait. Javi- Javi saw that? Is that what his brother sees every night when he wakes up screaming and Travis wonders, desperately, why Javi won’t just use that voice to talk to him ?
Travis isn’t just a shitty big brother, one who’s sometimes mean and doesn’t stick up for him and steals his stuff- now he’s what haunts Javi’s nightmares.
you can join the hive
“We’re going to be counselors now!” Sydney chirps, “we get to mold the youth!” Jedidiah, frankly, would rather let mold grow on the youth than help them.
There's Nothing Wrong with Ohio

NWT BBSIM WEEK 2
@bb-8teen @bigbrotheristerribleandihateit @carry-on-wayward-starkid @cirie @jessica-milagros @juliechensponytail @julieeexcheeen @kaysarswhore @kelleekim @legendareme @marcdjr00 @peterbrownismydaddy @rennyforpresident @whats-bb22
Pre-Jury: @bitterjurorssavetheday
"Welcome back to NWT Big Brother, I'm Julie Chen [REDACTED]. Few moments ago we said goodbye to evicted houseguest @/bitterjurorssavetheday but now, the LIVE Head of Household competition is about to begin. Let's get back to the houseguests." Julie announces.
"Everyone, the power is back up for grabs and @/juliechensponytail since you're the outgoing HOH you are not eligible to compete. Are you guys ready?" Julie asks.
"Yup!" "More then ever!!" "Let's do it Julie!" everyone answers
"Alright then here is how the competition works." Julie starts explaining the rules, when she's done everyone gets in positions and the competition begins.
Everyone rushes toward as the countdown begins. They have 9 minutes to collect as many donuts as possible, but to get one is not an easy task.
Already, the houseguests are struggling to get pass the "glaze" as @/kelleekim and @/jessica-milagros are stuck under the pinning wheel, unable to move.
@/cirie is the first to get through the obstacles, followed by @/kaysarswhore. They both get their first donut and make their way back to the other side.
The polls are slowly filling up as more people gets their donuts.
4 minutes have passed, everyone is starting to get tired, some complain that the "glaze" is too thick and sticky. @/carry-on-wayward-starkid even loses one of her shoes in it.
It is now 2 minutes and 30 seconds away until the competition ends, in the lead we have @/cirie and @/kaysarswhore with 10 donuts each with @/bb-8teen and @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit behind with only 1 short.
Julie informs the houseguests about the time telling them that they only have 1 minute left to go. Hearing the news, everyone tries their hardest to get a few more donuts back to their polls.
@/bb-8teen has managed to catch up with @/cirie and @/kaysarswhore as they now all have 13 donuts on their polls, @/bb-8teen is determined on winning the competition as she does not want to be nominated again.
“10, 9, 8, 7...” Julie begins counting down making the houseguests to pick up their pace and put their last donut on their polls. “...3, 2, 1 and the time is up!” Julies announces.
Everyone gets back next to their poll and waits for production to count the donuts that they've collected.
And in the end, the ones with the highest amount of donuts are @/kaysarswhore @/bb-8teen and @/bigbrotheristerribleandihate, who barely beats @/cirie.
.
.
.
It's pretty clear that between them, @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit has the least donuts with 15.
That leaves @/kaysarswhore and @/bb-8teen as the two houseguests with the most donuts collected. But one was able to edge out the other by just 1 donut...
.
.
.
"@/kaysarswhore with 18 donuts, you are the winner of the competition!" Julie declares.
You can see the disappointment on @/bb-8teen face but she wipes it off and congratulates @/kaysarswhore.
@/juliechensponytail comes to @/kaysarswhore to give her the HOH key, she would've hugged @/kaysarswhore if it's not for the sticky "glaze" covering her.
"OMG THANK YOU!!!" @/kaysarswhore jumps up and down excitedly.
"Goodnight houseguests." Julie says then turns to the camera "And with that, from outside the NWT Big Brother house, I'm Julie Chen [REDACTED]... goodnight!" she signs off ending the live episode.
Out in the backyard, everyone is ready to head back inside the house to clean up.
With @/bitterjurorssavetheday gone, alliance #6 loses a member. It's gonna be interesting to see how it goes from here as @/peterbrownismydaddy and I both voted to evict @/bitterjurorssavetheday while @/kaysarswhore voted to keep her. And with @/kaysarswhore as the HOH, if she finds out about it, will that put me and @/peterbrownismydaddy in danger?
"Omg.... we must not let her know about the votes" I told @/peterbrownismydaddy, "Oh absolutely..." he agreed.
It's been 2 days since the HOH competition, everyone is in the kitchen getting ready for the Nominations ceremony.
@/kaysarswhore waits for everyone to quiet down before she starts the ceremony.
"Houseguests, as the Head of House, I have the responsibility to nominate 2 people for eviction. And the two that I have chosen are..." she twists the keys revealing...
"I decided this based on what was said around the house and @/rennyforpresident, it has come to my attention that you don't seem to like me and often talk a lot of shit about me behind my back so sweetie that's why I nominated you." @/kaysarswhore calls @/rennyforpresident out in front of everybody, some were taken back by this including @/rennyforpresident.
"And for @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit, I chose you because we just don't get along. Sorry love." @/kaysarswhore explains.
"The ceremony is adjourned." @/kaysarswhore announces.
The tension in the kitchen right now is extremely high, a total different feel from the week before.
@/rennyforpresident is now looking around at everyone with a questioning look.
"Now who TF snitched on me? Because if I catch you, oh it is over!" @/rennyforpresident glares at the camera in the DR.
"I don't get it... what did she mean by not getting along? We literally just painted our nails together the other day...." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit asks the camera in her DR.
"OMG so she doesn't know?" @/peterbrownismydaddy asks me while we're in the bathroom a few minutes after the ceremony. "I don't think so..." I answer looking out to the kitchen. "Wheww thank god!" @/peterbrownismydaddy says, relaxing his shoulders. Looks like @/peterbrownismydaddy and I dodged a bullet today.
It's the day after and the Veto selection is about to start.
@/marcdjr00 @/julieeexcheeen and @/juliechensponytail will join the HOH and the 2 nominees in the POV competition tomorrow!
It's Veto competition day! The Veto players and host enter the backyard, everyone else stays inside.
"OMG ARE WE GONNA BOWL??" @/julieeexcheen yells. "Huh? Bowl? Where did you get that? That's obviously a pool table.." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit says.
The houseguests continue discussing about the competition.
"Okay guys be quiet then I'll tell you what you're about to play!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid, the host, orders.
Everyone stops talking, "This competition is called Pool Sharks!" @/carry-on-wayward-starkid begins. "See I freaking told yall..." says @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit.
@/carry-on-wayward-starkid continues explaining the rules until everyone gets it.
"Players orders will be determined by the alphabetical orders so @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit you go first." @/carry-on-wayward-starkid tells the houseguests starting the competition.
After several rounds of misses, @/juliechensponytail is the first person to score a successful hit and eliminates @/julieeexcheeen.
"Boooooo." @/julieeexcheen says as she watches her ball rolls into the pool.
.
.
.
Everyone starting to get the hang of it as the competition goes on, hit after hit scattering balls across the "table".
It is now @/marcdjr00 turn, taking the opportunity of @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit ball being directly in the way of the ramp, he hits sending it down into the pool.
.
.
.
The competition continues, everyone's hitting each other's balls but yet to knock one into the swimming pool.
It's @/kaysarswhore turn, seeing that 1 of the nominees is already out, she decides to go after @/rennyforpresident. She aims and swings and with a lil' bit of luck she hits @/rennyforpresident ball into the pool, eliminating him.
It is down to @/juliechensponytail @/kaysarswhore and @/marcdjr00, one of them is about to get their 2nd win today.
.
.
.
It is @/marcdjr00 turn once again. Since he has good relationship with the other players, he decides to not target any of them and switches to being defensive. So he tries to hit his ball into a corner but unfortunately, he does it a bit too strong so the ball ricochets off the wall and rolls to the center of the "table" making him an easy target to eliminate.
@/kaysarswhore is next after @/marcdjr00 and with an expected move, she knocks his ball toward the ramp and down into the pool.
"Awww come on..." @/marcdjr00 says disappointingly, "Sorry babe!" @/kaysarswhore winks back at him.
It's @/juliechensponytail turn to go again, knowing that she can definitely win it right here if she just hit @/kaysarswhore ball but she realizes that winning another competition right after being the HOH will make her into target so she purposefully aims her ball slightly to the side of @/kaysarswhore ball so it doesn't hit it and she swings! The ball rolls pass the other ball and stops right at the top of the ramp, right as where she wanted.
@/kaysarswhore without thinking about anything else, sees this as an easy win so she knocks @/juliechensponytail ball into the swimming pool, winning the competition.
"Congratulations @/kaysarswhore!" @carry-on-wayward-starkid says and puts the Veto necklace on @/kaysarswhore. She went from hosting the competition the week before to winning it this week.
"TWO WINS BABEY!!!" @/kaysarswhore excitedly says in her DR, showing the HOH key and the Veto to the camera.
"Did she really need to win the Veto? She's literally making herself a target week 2!" @/rennyforpresident rolls his eyes in his DR.
"Well that was interesting, it definitely wasn't what I expected because I thought that I was gonna win..." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit DR.
It is tomorrow and the houseguests are in the living for the Veto meeting.
The 2 nominees will have a chance to convince the Veto holder to use it on them but with the Veto holder being the person that nominated them in the first, the chance of that is pretty small.
(ok so... i really couldn’t think of any reason for @/rennyforpresident to give a long speech because clearly @/kaysarswhore isn’t gonna use the Veto on him so let’s all pretend that he’s giving an explosive speech HHH)
"Congrats on the win, just do whatever you want with it...." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit says.
"I'm not using it so........." @/kaysarswhore smiles and slowly puts the Veto into the box.
"The Veto meeting is over!"
Both of the nominees, despite knowing that the chance of @/kaysarswhore Vetoing one of them is extremely low, they still get a bit angry with @/kaysarswhore decision.
“@/kaysarswhore is playing too hard... it's week 2 and she's already won 2/4 competitions. If no one goes after her after this then they should just hand her the money..." @/rennyforpresident DR.
"Yeah whatever..." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit sighs in her DR.
After the Veto meeting, @/whats-bb22 is in the backyard with @/legendareme discussing about who they're gonna vote for.
They then move on to talk about other topics, while talking about mental health @/whats-bb22 says that depression isn’t real and that depressed people is only pretending to be so. Which angers the fans so they make a petition calling to disqualify @/whats-bb22. (I AM SO SORRY @/WHATS-BB22 PLEASE UNDERSTAND I’M JUST TRYING TO GO WITH THE MATERIAL THE SIM GAVE ME...)
Upstairs in the HOH room, @/bb-8teen and @/kaysarswhore are talking about music and figure out that they have the same taste.
@/jessica-milagros is in the have-nots room, trying to take a nap but can't due to the stress causes by the game. He then decides to go to the kitchen for some water but while on his wait, he suddenly breaks down in the living crying then rushes into the DR.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do that. It's just... it's starting to get to me that I'm playing NWT Big Brother so I just felt a little bit tired..." @/jessica-milagros explains while wiping his tears away with the tissues production gave him.
@/kelleekim is alone in the bedroom, he's sharing it with @/bb-8teen @/bigbrotheristerrible @/cirie and @/legendareme. Wanting to make a prank, he decides to flip @/cirie mattress over.
He then leaves the room and waits for someone to notice it.
A few minutes later, a confused @/peterbrownismydaddy comes out of the bedroom after coming in to get something asking if anyone saw what happened in there. Some were confused, @/cirie included, by that so they go and check it out. They are shocked by the sight and @/cirie immediately gets mad about it and questions that who could've done this but no one answers...
It's later in the evening, @/whats-bb22 and I are chatting about our lives outside of the house when @/whats-bb22 decides to tell me about his abusive ex. The stories he tells are horrible but he says he's ok now and that he's gotten over it. We then share a hug.
"Welcome back to NWT Big Brother, I’m your host Julie Chen [REDACTED]!. Another week has gone by and tonight, one more person will say goodbye to the house and become the 2nd evicted houseguest of the season. Let's get to the houseguests!" Julie announces opening the episode.
"Good evening houseguests!" Julie says. "Good evening Julie!" HEYYY." "Hello Julie!" everyone responds.
"In just a few moments, you will vote to evict 1 of the nominees here. But before that, @/rennyforpresident and @/bigbrotheristerrible you two will have one last chance to plead your case to get the votes on your side. @/rennyforpresident you'll go first." Julie orders.
"I don't have anything to say Julie." @/rennyforpresident replies while still sitting.
"Oh okay, then go ahead @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit."
"Well vote for me and after the show I'll paypal yall $1000 dollars eac- no I'm kidding! Um, just vote for whoever you want honestly." @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit says.
"Alright, before we vote I just want to remind @/kaysarswhore as the HOH you will not be voting, you only need to do so in the event of a tie. Then let's begin the voting!" Julie declares.
"That's 1 vote for each houseguests."
"Now it is 3 votes @/rennyforpresident 1 vote @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit"
"@/rennyforpresident is still leading with 4 votes while @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit has 2."
"That's 5 for @/rennyforpresident 3 for @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit."
"Oh and now it's all 5 for both of them, with only 2 votes left, this could turn into a tie and @/kakysarswhore may have to break it!"
.
.
.
"And it's official, with 7 votes to evict @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit has been evicted. Let's tell the houseguests!"
"Houseguests, I have the results. By a vote of 7 to 5...."
"@/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit you have been evicted from the NWT Big Brother house."
Julie then says goodbye to the houseguests so she can continue on and interview @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit.
“So @/bigbrotheristerriblandihateit, is this the outcome that you expected?” Julie asks.
“Well... I expected that I was gonna win the whole thing so...” @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit laughs.
“Haha... we are sad to see you go but I hope that this has been a fun experience for you.” Julie says.
“Oh definitely! Being on NWT Big Brother was one of my dreams so to do this it was very fun even if it didn’t last long enough!” @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit responds.
Julie smiles and turns to the camera “This is Julie Chen [REDACTED], here with @/bigbrotheristerribleandihateit, goodnight everyone!.” she says ending the episode.
And this is the end of WEEK 2, I’ll be back tomorrow!
AND NOOOO THIS POST DOESN’T HAVE ANY TYPO YOU DIDN’T SEE ANY TYPO

This month I was fortunate to participate in a massive podfic challenge called @voiceteam on Discord, and was a part of Team Orange-You-Glad-I-Saved-This-Braincell.
TEAM BRAINCELL TOP 12 PODFICS (and other audio fanworks)
If you would like to hear the best of our work, you can listen to a highlights reel here.
12. In Which We Properly Sort Water Into It's Hogwart's House, and other Such Things by Team Braincell
Type: Oral not!fic
Featuring: @mayonnaisetoffees, @omg-elledubs-things, @romansuzume, @jetainia, @oakleaffic, @shadowravin, @sunlightsymphony, and @fishandchipsandvinegar
Fandom: Water
Ship: Many, Many Things/Water
Rating: Explicit
Length: 36:21
While this oral not!fic entertains the idea of water having its own fandom, it did birth all of our “Water Fandom” content on AO3. It seems cracky, but this not!fic is actually a really funny listen if you’re looking to kill a bit of time. And we think the Water Fandom is really going to take off. Even if we have to single handedly do it:
11. The Influences of Ourselves by @jetainia
Type: Podfic
Read By: @jetainia
Fandom: Water and Harry Potter Crossover
Ship: The Black Lake/The Giant Squid
Rating: Mature
Length: 2:00
This requires some context of the “Water Fandom” mentioned above as it is one of the fanworks created for it. It’s the story of The Black Lake and the Giant Squid and is actually really beautiful.
10. What Do You Do As A Fallen Angel by @fishandchipsandvinegar, @thegay-uillotine, and @oakleaffic
Type: Filk
Sung By: Team Braincell, and various Voiceteam contributors
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Teen
Length: 8:02
It’s Crowley’s adventures sung to the tune of Drunken Sailor. What’s not to love? Alright, so it’s a little all over, but it just adds to the genuineness of it being a folk song. Brace yourself for the “Hail The Great Beasts.”
9. A Mice Day by @doublel27
Type: Podfic
Read By: @sunlightsymphony
Fandom: Schitt’s Creek
Ship: Patrick/David
Rating: General
Length: 9:32
I don’t know if it’s just that @sunlightsymphony has the perfect voice for fluff or what? But something about this keeps me coming back. It’s cute and light and silly and overall, a good listen.
8. Dumbass (With Love) by @anxiousoddish
Type: Podfic
Read By: @mayonnaisetoffees
Fandom: Team StarKid
Ship: Paul Matthews/Emma Perkins
Rating: Teen
Length: 18:03
I’m not even in this fandom and I’ve listened to this more times than I care to admit. Despite this actually being a somewhat serious fic, @mayonnaisetoffees keeps this light and funny all the way through. It carries, even if you aren’t in the fandom.
7. If The Heavens Ever Did Speak by @captaingondolin
Type: Podfic
Read By: @captaingondolin
Fandom: Shakespeare RPF and Historical RPF
Ship: Shakespeare/Marlowe
Rating: Teen
Length: 12:53
Yes I’ve also listened to this more times than I care to admit. This podfic is singlehandedly dragging me into the Shakespeare/Marlowe ship, and yes, there’s exactly as many dick jokes as you’d expect.
6. How The Thought of You Does Things to Me by @romansuzume
Type: Podfic
Read By: @romansuzume
Fandom: Marvellous Mrs. Maisel
Ship: Lenny Bruce/Miriam "Midge" Maisel
Rating: Teen
Length: 19:14
This isn’t the ship I think I’d pick from the show, but I’m here for any Mrs. Maisel content. Gingermaggie’s write and read is the balance of levity and gravity that encompasses Mrs. Maisel.
5. Stories That I Used to Know by @omg-elledubs-things
Type: Filk
Sung By: @omg-elledubs-things
Fandom: Archive of Our Own
Ship: None
Rating: General
Length: 4:03
Okay, this is just still stuck in my head and I feel a little called out. It’s a lot of fun and the recording is great!
4. Bang by @stars-inthe-sky
Type: Podfic
Read By: @liquidlyrium and @shadowravin
Fandom: MCU
Ship: Natasha/Bucky
Rating: General
Length: 2:27
Ravin and Liquid Lyrium’s performances of this are so perfect, it feels like more than a podfic. It will have you laughing from start to finish.
3. I AM GROOT by sherlocksmyth on AO3
Type: Podfic? (Read: Abomination)
Created By: @mayonnaisetoffees and @fishandchipsandvinegar
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Ship: Just Groot
Rating: Explicit (but it’s safe for work, we promise)
Length: 11:45
Ah yes, the thing that sent us down the road to madness. This is ridiculous and will make you laugh. It’s an “explicit” Groot fic, but I promise it is safe for work.
It’s what happens when you decide you can make a podfic using only clips from songs and videos of Vin Diesel reading his lines.
2. The Devil’s Cut/The Angel’s Share by @racketghost
Type: Podfic
Read By: @liquidlyrium
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Explicit
Length: 40:00
Liquid Lyrium put their heart and soul into this and it shows. The read is breathtaking and the pacing is perfect.
1. The Great Miserables Bake Off by @kjack89
Type: Podfic
Read By: @oakleaffic, @sammysidle, @christchex, @thegay-uillotine, @jetainia, @fishandchipsandvinegar, @mayonnaisetoffees, @rindle, @sunlightsymphony, @shadowravin, @captaingondolin
Fandom: Les Miserables
Ship: Enjolras/Grantaire, Combeferre/Courfeyrac, Cosette/Marius
Rating: General
Length: 52:02
This is I think the biggest multivoice production I’ve ever listened to. It was incredible that we were able to get all of the voices and the script style made it all come together just like an actual episode of Bake Off, complete with dramatic music.
Everyone did an incredible job, but things to listen for: @mayonnaisetoffees and @jetainia as Enjolras and Grantaire played perfectly off of each other despite the fact that they were recording in completely opposite time zones.
@sunlightsymphony nailed Marius’ constant state of worry, and @oakleaffic nailed the perfect balance to all our drama with a well-rounded narration role.
It was one of the first things we all did together but I think it also stands out as maybe our best project. So it gets the #1 slot.
Thanks for Listening!

Holy Shiz I just answered all of this and then I accidentally pressed something and it deleted. I’m not angry. I lied I am angry. Anyway here we go again.
I reblogged three number ask thingys all around about the same time so I’m not sure what one you are refering to therefore shall answer them all.
Musical Theatre Themed Ask:
2. What musical got you really into theatre? Oklahoma. I saw a high school production with my cousin in it when I was in primary school and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
4. Name three of your current Broadway crushes. I don’t really have crushes on famous people but three people I think are amazing are: Drew Gehling, Laura Osnes and Laura Benanti. To only name three.
9. Favourite show currently on Broadway I feel like I can’t answer this properly because I haven’t seen any current broadway shows but Imma say Waitress.
15. If you could revive any musical, which one would it be and who would you cast in it? Oh gosh, Rent? It’s such a good musical that means so much to me.
26. Best on stage chemistry? No idea
27. A Broadway duo you love. Glinda and Elphaba
39. Favourite Starkid musical: I haven’t seen any Starkid shows yet. Yet! I am planning to.
Untitled Ask:
2: Talk about your first kiss. My “first kiss” was a stage kiss with a guy in my year 12 drama class. It was a really quick peak on the lips and my friend made a heaps big deal about it, being my first kiss and all. My first actual kiss was frickin awesome. We had confessed that we liked each other a few days before over text. We went went to a movie and then back to her house I was so nervous the whole time. I kept thinking I had imagined the conversation. I was working up to it all day. I didn’t know how or when the right time to do it was. I’m pretty sure it was well into the night, after some episodes of Orange is the New Black. We were sitting on her bed opposite each other, cross-legged, knees touching. I can’t remember how this happened. Our foreheads touching. Anyway finally I asked her “can I kiss you?”. She said yes. Honestly I still smile when I think about it.
4: Talk about the thing you regret most so far. It’s not one thing in particular I guess. I wish I’d been braver in a hell of alot of situations. eg. Trying out for the dance team in year 9 and 10. Stepping between my mum and dad when he was abusing her. Being kinder to my brother when we were little. Not letting the kids in my year bully me for so long.
A huge regret is my 21st birthday party. It was a mess and every time I think about it I have a major break down.
8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of. I’m proud of my younger brother.
9: Talk about little things on your body that you like the most. I used to like my arms, not so much anymore. I like my hands, I think they are pretty alright looking hands and they get the job done.
15: Talk about the time you were most content in life. I mean I guess when you are looking back it’s childhood like 8-10 years old maybe. When I was playing with my barbie dolls or playing in the backyard.
26: Talk about things you do when you’re sick. Complain about how sick I am, Sleep, watch stuff, eat, use a lot of tissues usually. Play playstation games. Nothing exciting or abnormal.
27: Talk about your favorite part of someone else’s body. I honestly couldn’t choose. I love practically everything about her body. I like her neck. I like her fingers and hands and arms and tummy and hips and boobs and thighs and knees. Her nose, her eyes, her face. Her back omg. But I shouldn’t be thinking about her body at all like that. In any way because that is not appropriate and weird. She is just beautiful okay? inside and out.
39: Talk about things you wish you’d known earlier. I wish I known how to work hard. Or what it takes to work hard at something. It is something I’m still learning. I don’t think I’ve work hard at all in my life and it has royally screwed me up.
Maybe it could have been good to know girls are allowed to like girls. Maybe then I wouldn’t have such a hard time about it. The shame and being okay with it.

Wed 06 Jun (Brisbane, QLD): Best and worst parts of my travels
While on the Whitsunday sailing tour, I met a Canadian who would ask everyone what their best and worst experiences were, as a way to take a break and reflect on the day. I kind of like this idea, so I'll run with it and reflect on my time spent in Australia and what I've experienced.
Brisbane (04/Jan - 25/Jan & 25/May - 6/Jun)
Best: the week I'd spent with Ellen, when we hiked up to the summit of Mt. Coot-tha even though we could've taken the bus (which we didn't know about), or when we spent the day in Surfer's Paradise just cos. We talked so openly about important stuff like mental illness that it felt like I'd known her for years, and we shared an inquisitive mind and a love for biology.
Worst: unsuccessful job hunting because everyone either wants you to have 2 years of experience, gives you a trial but then never hires you, or refuses to pay minimum wage.
Hervey Bay (25/Jan - 11/Mar)
Best: the Woolshed family (Maja, Andy, Bruno, Juliette, Julie, David, Pia, Siri, Leo, Nico, Martin), this was the first time I'd lived with other people for an extended amount of time, and I had such a blast, especially at the end of January and the beginning of February.
Worst: the two week long depressive episode that was pretty bad starting Valentine's day and slowly got better every day towards the end of February. Also, getting fired from Paolo's, though again this was amplified by aforementioned depression
Lady Elliot Island (10/Mar)
Best: first time snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef and the glass boat tour, I could pretty much do whatever I wanted and both spent time in the water among the corals and on the island exploring the flora and fauna.
Worst: getting chased off by that one bird because I got too close to its nest, apparently
Fraser Island (12/Mar - 14/Mar)
Best: the Maheno shipwreck, that was pretty cool, also Lake McKenzie and the fascinating ecosystem on the island.
Worst: lost my bathing suit, smh. Also, these German girls on my tour complained about everything, sheesh, be fucking grateful Ronja, no one likes your negativity
Byron Bay (15/Mar - 20/Mar)
Best: the lighthouse walk, it took me 4h
Worst: let's just say boredom and not the best state mental health wise
Sydney (20/Mar - 03/Apr)
Best: the 27th hands down: seeing Luise again, going to Newtown, Lentil As Anything, seeing Book of Mormon live, meeting AJ Holmes, everything about that day was perfect
Worst: the Bondi Beach day, it just wasn't my day
Melbourne (04/Apr - 20/Apr)
Best: Starkid's A Very Potter Golden Birthday stream for which I was present for 5 of the 9 hours (I would willing catch a bullet for each and every one of them), also St Kilda and seeing penguins and being a complete nerd about them (and probably bothering the lovely volunteers with my endless questions), and the Great Ocean Road tour, that was just such a great group we had there
Worst: that smelly girl I had in my room for a couple of days? Idk, Melbs was pretty fun, but I gotta say her stench was otherworldly
Tasmania (20/Apr - 27/Apr)
Best: the 5 day tour and the people I'd befriended during that time (Sanne, Charlotte, Thomas, Josha), also the pat-powder-stroke evening in Strahan
Worst: the Launceston dinner debacle where at 7pm everyone was too tired to cook so we wanted to eat out as a group of like ten people but everything was full even though it was like Tuesday so we ended up cooking anyway after running around town like complete idiots and had dinner at like 9 (and even that was a fun evening tbh)
Adelaide (28/Apr - 06/May)
Best: seeing Avengers: Infinity War first thing off the plane, Free Comic Book Day and all the amazing fellow nerds I met that day, also the free Haigh's Chocolate Factory tour and some samples they gave us (t'was a childhood dream come true), also just Hahndorf
Worst: got a bit homesick in Hahndorf, I miss my kitty
Cairns (06/May - 14/May)
Best: scuba diving in reef like hell yes that was awesome! Also Cape Tribulation, I'd never slept in a Rainforest before and I chatted the day away with Rob from Manchester about German history and the Wars of the Roses like the complete fucking nerd that I am
Worst: the Outback tour got cancelled so I never got to go there (and it took almost a month to get the refund), but hey this gives me a reason to come back to Straya!
Townsville (14/May - 20/May)
Best: Internation Museum Day, I spent like 5 hours in the Museum without food because normally it's like 18$ and that day it was free. Also, I was part of this back of house tour (super interesting), and a paleontology student gifted me a piece of fossilised sea floor, which is so cool!
Worst: was sick ugh
Magnetic Island (15/May - 17/May)
Best: the Forts walk and seeing wild Koalas up close, pretty rad; also sleeping by the ocean, which is soooo relaxing omg
Worst: guess when I got sick
Airlie Beach (20/May - 24/May)
Best: the welcoming atmosphere at Backpackers By the Bay, also the afterparty of the Whitsunday tour
Worst: Straight Men™
Whitsunday Islands (21/May - 23/May)
Best: Scuba diving like hell yes, stargazing at night, the amazing crew (Dave, Nigel, and Chris), and the people I'd befriended (Ben, Tim, Luma, Hannah)
Worst: got sunburn on my feet, also I accidentally removed my goggles while 15 feet under water and that was a mistake
Australia in general (04/Jan - 06/Jun)
Best: got a lot more confident and independent, so much more laid back ("I'm gonna arrive at the airport only an hour before my flight leaves"). Also some highlights include 27/Mar, AVPGB, and FCBD; basically, I had all these amazing experiences, but the most fun was had when doing things I already enjoy <3
Worst: getting up at like 4 am for a flight, also heartache, depression, and homesickness, though they will always pass
Fare well, terra australis; may we see each other again~
