12th-Mar-2022 04:49 pm - Juuuust in case...

So it's not like I am good at posting with ever the slightest amount of regularity, haha, and I have been largely absent from my loved online spaces for the past few years because of school and life and all sorts, BUT with all the Stuff going on, I just wanted to follow suit of many of my LJ pals and put up a little "come find me elsewhere" post (esp if LJ goes down for good).

AO3: red_b_rackham

My emails have not changed, so if you have them, they're still good, if you need them, PM me. ;)

My hope is always to come back around to post things and get my crap together, but more than likely I wil probably suddenly hyperfixate in a fit of procrastinating on something else, and then disappear for months and months on end. XD One of these days I'll connect with y'all about all the STUFF that has gone down the past couple years, but I think I can safely say everyone has had an exceptional amount of STUFF going down one way or another lately, so just know that I miss you and my thoughts go out to you, my every wonderful fandom friend.

Stay safe out there, my darlings. <3 See you out there in 'verse.

red_b_rackham

Dear Lovely Yule Author,

I am happy to meet you!! <3 First thing's first: I'm a rambler and I tried to keep it short but ...

As usual, I'd like to say that optional details are optional, so please feel free to do your thing and don't feel pressured whatsoever by my scrawling thoughts and musings. These are just ideas and suggestions, and you are fabulous for doing Yuletide!! My feelings for general likes et al haven't changed much the past few years (this is pretty much copied from last year with some tweaks), so it's mostly the same as my last few Yuletides, BUT I definitely need some fandom escape this year. Anyways, let's get into it. :D

17th-Sep-2020 09:08 pm - WIP Bang: Art for "pulse to pulse" by incognitajones

red_b_rackham

A/n: This year for WIP Bang, not only did I finish the Timebomb epic (!!!!!), but I also scooped a lovely fic by incognitajones about Jyn and my boi, Cassian. They survive the end - but with some nifty, angsty, romancey consequences, and I loved the snippets I was given, and can't wait to read the whole fic!! I'm posting the art a day early since I'll be out of town for the next few days, but will add the links as soon as I'm back. ;D

Fic title: Pulse to Pulse
Fic summary: After nearly dying on the sands of Scarif, Jyn and Cassian have been linked together: somehow able to sense each other’s thoughts and emotions. The only explanation Jyn can think of is that the legendary Force bonds her mother used to tell stories of are real.

Force bonds are supposed to unite souls forever, but this accidental connection may break them apart instead.

12th-Aug-2020 12:39 am - Story of the Timebomb Story (2)

red_b_rackham

Anyways, so around that time in 2015, I kind of had a “Enough is Enough” moment. This story had been plaguing my brain for years now, and it showed no signs of leaving me alone. I constantly, constantly circled back to it, poked at it, fiddled. I whined to friends, I got copious encouragement. I was fed up with each passing movie making my idea less and less plausible and decided that I had to do it. I just had to find a way, now, and get it out of my system.

I had to figure out a way to get it out, and stop idly adding to it every few months with no clear idea of anything. So I dragged all my notes and plot ideas and nonsense over the years into one big folder, called “Timebomb 2015”. I sorted each Avenger into folders and documents with their separate stories. I made myself art to motivate and inspire (seen at the beginning of each fic, now).

12th-Aug-2020 12:37 am - Story of the Timebomb Story (1)

red_b_rackham

(This is basically an unnecessary novel about the fic-novel I've been working forever and ever, so proceed at your own risk. XD)

The really short version: it's been years in the making (like...years years) but I finally have finished writing my epic timebomb Avengers story, and it's finally getting posted. I've just got edits coming for the last half, and I'm done. My official WIP Big Bang posting date is Sept 17 (ie. the day the whole thing has to be up in it's glory). I am alkjshfl;kjasd.

The really, really, unnecessarily long version for anybody who has time on their hands and cares to read... XD

8th-Aug-2019 04:04 pm - WIP Bang: Art for "winter is coming (hear me roar)" by salazarastark

red_b_rackham

A/n: Another WIP Bang art post!! This'll be the last art post for this Bang, though I might come back and post my WIP Bang fic + the art I recieved from Ragna (the fanmix is awesome, you guys, so I need to share it far and wide). Anyways, so for this one, I was first intrigued by the pairing - y'all know how I lov a rare pair. ;P

I originally created a version with TV Cersei and Ned, even though this story takes places decades before the timeline of the show. Then Salazara shared her fabulous fancast version of young Cersei and young Ned, and I loved them! :D (Even better, I was able to find some decent pictures for them, haha.) So the MAIN art is the fancast version, but I thought I'd include the alternate version just for fun, too. ;D

Fic title: Winter is Coming (Hear Me Roar)
Fic summary: Ned Stark and Cersei Lannister are made to marry after the Rebellion ends.

2nd-Aug-2019 09:41 pm - WIP Bang: Art for "Serendipity & Coincidence" by afteriwake

red_b_rackham

A/n: My next project for WIP Bang, this one is for the lovely

afteriwake. I'm a sucker for a cool crossover pairing, and this one with Molly/McCoy caught my eye, so I had to snap it up and check it out. Plus, I found out Ragna has been working like crazt to do art and fanmixes for all the unclaimed art on top of her own fics and claims, and I am genuinely so glad to be able to create something for her in return. :D

Fic title: Serendipity & Coincidence
Fic summary: Bones knows one thing: he likes Dr. Molly Hooper and doesn't want his friendship with her to change...even if the voice in the back of his head says he'd like more than just a friendship with the female Starfleet officer. But a dare from Jim leads to more than he had expected and certainly more than he wanted...or could ever have hoped for.

30th-Jul-2019 02:11 pm - WIP Bang: Art for "Minus One" by Alobear

red_b_rackham

A/n: I took on a few projects for WIP Bang this year - including finishing one of my own fics wooooot! - and this is the first one. A great little ol' Monster of the Week type fic, starring the fabulous Jody Mills, and the boys on an unintentional hunt gone wrong. Even after I read the whole rough draft, the moment at the beginning where Dean collapses in Jody's yard was still the one that stuck out to me the most. Thanks to

alobear for being a lovely partner!! \o/

Fic title: Minus One
Fic summary: When Dean turns up on Jody's doorstop, injured and alone, Jody has to work with Bobby to figure out what happened and find Sam.
