When did plotbunnies evolve suckered tentacles?

[krait]

For three days now my brain hasn't stopped trying to make me write Dave/Tavros xeno smutfic! With ALL of the angst!

I cannot distract myself because I have already read all of the Dave/Tavros; there is no more distraction material available until somebody updates a WIP!


HELP. Send links?

Oh, and in case you haven't discovered it yet: there's a DW comm for Homestuck fen, which is pose_as_a_comm. Not terribly active (mostly icons), but a good place to keep in mind since they welcome fic, art, and discussion as well. (cypher has posted fic there at least once, which is handy because she writes awesome Homestuck fic and I approve of anything that might bring her more praise and adulation feedback and inspiration!)

You have no idea how much I love icons. I have so many that I've downloaded and NEVER USE.

[valmora]

oh man, cypher is Laylah? GOOD TO KNOW. Fan of hers, yep.

[krait]

Yes! *brofist* I didn't use "Laylah" because I wasn't sure if she still wanted that name associated with her fanfic, and also because I think the HS stuff is recent enough that it might have been written only under the cypher name, but -- yeah.

I am a huge fan of hers, too. :D Her and Coyo and all the other, not nearly as numerous as they ought to be, writers of good xeno!

[valmora]

She posts on AO3 under "laylah" so I don't see that she has much choice...

(also I don't know if you follow the tumblr comm homestuckpodfic, but if you are interested in just that they are getting off the ground!)

Coyo?

*facepalms* You're right! I guess I mostly read on DW, at least at first, so that rather obvious claim escaped me.

I am not really a podfic fan, alas. I'd like to be, but I don't have an attention span for auditory information at all -- if I tried it I would end up tuning it out and reading something else. I can't keep my mind on audio-based stuff for much longer than, say, a fanvid. D:

Coyo = Sleeps with Coyotes = Ciceqi. She's not in Homestuck fandom (alas!) but she writes in a large number of fandoms and is awesome at xenobiology and xenokink. (Her fic's the reason I know about all the races in the game The Last Remnant despite never having played it!)

If she ever gets reasonably caught up on all her WIP stories and series-in-progress, I'm going to be seriously tempted to throw Homestuck at her! :D

[valmora]

I guess I mostly read on DW,
That's cool! I just like trawling AO3 because so many tumblrites post there exlusively.

Oh man Ciceqi! I remember her! She's so old-school, man. Where's she keeping her fic now? Her old archive went down a couple years ago and I have MISSED HER STUFF.

[krait]

She has two DW accounts -- ciceqi is mostly quiet now, and she updates far more regularly at battle_stations -- and all her fic is on DW now, at uss_spambot.

Nothing is lost, never fear! :D She's just gone a bit underground, due to RL name issues. *sympathy*

[krait]

I trawl AO3 after I've read everything on my DW flist. So while there are several people who post on both places, I tend to skip their AO3s (or just use them for bookmark links) in favour of trying to find new people there.

The tags at AO3 make me so very happy, although sometimes they are frustrating too.

I'm glad to hear that Tumblr-only fans are adopting the site as an archive, because Tumblr is basically this gigantic tangle of I Cannot Figure It Out and so much of Homestuck fandom seems to be there (I think; it's like looking through a foggy window at a distant land) that I worry about missing out on lots of fic. But if they're using AO3 I will find it!

[valmora]

so much of Homestuck fandom seems to be there
Yes, they are. Tumblr is also a fantastic platform for artists, who are legion in HS fandom, so it's picking up steam in terms of regular and art blogging, but it is awful for fic. Thus the AO3.
