happy 10th birthday, pacrim!!! fic self-promo post
I wrote a lot of Pacrim fics but these remain my favorites!!!!
The Weight of Your Bones - Genuinely one of my favorite things I have ever written. Hot Dads, but also a lot of meditation on the whole Stacker-Tamsin-Luna thing. (7K, Explicit)
Vanities - I’ll let the AO3 summary speak for this one! “Every Jaeger pilot agrees: drivesuit scars have to be earned.” (<1k, Teen)
Atlas - I love Hercules Hansen and how he just *clenches fist* nobly suffers. (2k, Teen)
Wear That Uniform Well - A lot of people like “Bottle Rocket Principle” but I wrote two fics about Tendo being a trans man and how that goes for him and this is the far better one. (4.6k, Explicit)
Edge of the Atlantic - Is this a realistic version of the post-movie press tour? No, absolutely not. Do I love it anyway? Yes. (2K, Teen)
How cruel is the golden rule when the lives we lived are only golden-plated? 👑
HBD JGY 🎉! Combo of my fave JGY looks from across adaptations (+my own additions. Not many people like the donghua changes but JGY w/the Yin Tiger Tally was so great visually)
I’ve been itching to do something Art Nouveau/Alphonse Mucha inspired for awhile so, I decided, why not spend 13 hours on fan art of my favorite boy? lol
“Come on,” Seon-ho says, trudging toward the bank with Hwi hanging on for the ride until the riverbed rises to meet his knees. “You’re freezing,” he adds, teeth chattering.
sometimes i’m like fanfic authors should write whatever they want and then other times i’m like we should ban the word ‘mewl’ in reference to anything that isn’t a 5-week old kitten
** the disclaimer still applies: don’t fucking dogpile, don’t harass using this as a springboard.
furthermore, do NOT @ robin about this for fuck’s sake she’s already
taken far more than what was warranted and this is not about her **
@daciafelix, out of respect for robin’s request to lay things to rest, I will be speaking to you on a separate post here.
however, I will not be letting your replies on the post in question slide. I’m very angry with you, and I want you to fucking know it. I’ll paste the three replies here.
1:
mirrorofprinces go back under the bridge please.
Robin, you should ignore the trolls, they aren’t solitary creature it
seems. You apologized and you should move on. I am tired of seeing a
good author beaten down by people who don’t seem to understand how
nonprofit fictional worlds work, not to mention reality. Dear “Chinese
diaspora” , your trauma is real, attacking people is not the way to
solve it. This type of attitude is what got Archiveofourown banned in
China.
what the actual fuck was this? “Dear ‘Chinese diaspora’“? you have the audacity to tell us not to attack people while mocking us in the same goddamn breath? the lack of self-awareness that takes is stunning. congratulations for lowering the fucking bar once again!
perfunctorily saying that our “trauma is real” means nothing when the rest of your response dismisses us wholesale as “trolls”, insults our cultural identity – one that we have repeatedly explained is a complex, difficult topic – asserts that we have no grasp on the politics of fandom, that we’re delusional, and then!! has the fucking sanctimonious presumption toblame us for CCP censorship of AO3 in china. whether or not you intended any of that is irrelevant, because you still fucking said all of it and we still fucking heard it.
you don’t know jack fucking shit about the 227 event and it shows. the lack of respect that you exhibited in this reply is unbelievable. I was fucking there when this went down, I cried for days. I watched my chinese friends having mental breakdowns in private forums, a chinese friend i had met literally two weeks prior on AO3 emailed me in dismay for what had happened – this is someone who had been working up the courage to send me a message for literal months and we managed to exchange emails just before the firewall went up – you don’t understand, you can’t understand the sort of devastation that was felt. if you did, you wouldn’t have brought it up like this as a cudgel for sweeping our legitimate pain aside. blaming the victims for the acts of a violent and oppressive government is a fucking shitty look.
Have you been irritated by the resident AO3 troll for the Jin Guangyao/Lan Xichen tag for MZDS/CQL on AO3? Did a fic or six of yours get hit? Maybe the troll decided to show up in your Tumblr inbox or your curiouscat.
Let’s have some fun.
Submit comments from the Xiyao troll as prompts!
Write Xiyao fic for others based on offered-up comments!
It’s been a while since last I wrote about that but since the troll was very active yesterday night again, I’ll do so again because not everyone is on Twitter…
Someone,or a group of someone (idk) is targeting Xiyao fics with comments such as
but it matters not because lxc is terribly ooc
what about qin su?
yeah sure jgy lied to lxc
jgy is cheating on lxc
It’s always comments from anons with various names. Whatever they write - it has NOTHING to do with your fic, with your writing, with your characterization. It’s a troll comment.
Since many Xiyao writers have locked their fics to anon comments of late the troll(s) begin to dig out older fic (some as old as February) and jgy-centric fic that are not tagged as xiyao, for totally unrelated pairings given the fic is open for anon comments
Folks on twitter are collecting the troll comments - hit me up for the respective link (not posting it here because tumblr will eat the tags if I I do)
