queer_bigbang fics are open for art claiming! There's one The Move RPF AU, one Leverage, and one lesbian retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

Jun. 12th, 2014 08:01 pm...riddle me this. Dartz turned Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos into dragons because that made them less of a threat to him. Um, they're freaking dragons now. How are they less scary as dragons than as people with magic swords and armor?
(I have to genderflip Timaeus for Yuukiverse, I think. Possibly also Hermos, depending on whether I give the role of the third chosen duelist to Mai or Jounouchi. What a tragedy, right?)

Jun. 8th, 2014 07:15 pmIf I suppose that the only reason Jounouchi got Hermos (or whatever its Japanese name is) over Mai in canon is because Mai was with the Orichalcos lot in canon, and therefore give Hermos to Mai instead of Jounouchi in Yuukiverse, am I a bad person?

May. 28th, 2014 06:43 pm*finally gets back to watching Yu-Gi-Oh! from where ze left off in Battle City finals* I think my 'Mai is the reincarnation of Atem's big sister' theory may be disproved by canon. Mai can't read the inscription on the Winged Dragon of Ra. Kaiba can, because he's a reincarnation of someone who could, but Mai can't.
Though I think in Yuukiverse Yami Yuuki may read the chant repeat-after-me to Mai, through the mind link she established earlier in the duel to remind Mai that Mai's not alone no matter what Marik's magic is making her feel.

Mar. 25th, 2014 01:39 amThe problem with fic_promptly is now I want to assemble my queer_bigbang from lonely fic_promptly author's choice prompts. (The Yu-Gi-Oh! selection is...slim.)
Things this is: hilarious. Things this is not: conducive to accomplishing challenge week.

Mar. 21st, 2014 12:54 amOoh, fan_flashworks challenge is Jewelry. I believe I want to write something to do with Yuuki and the Millennium Puzzle, but I dunno what to write that wouldn't be a scene from my queer_bigbang. PROMPT ME.

Mar. 2nd, 2014 04:14 pmSo apparently Japanese elementary schools (at least in the 80s, because that seems to be the decade all this source's cites are from, but I haven't found a source for the 90s when my characters were in elementary school and probably the system didn't change much in a few years) divide their classes (on average thirty students, at most forty or forty-five) into four-to-six-person groups called han, and rather than calling out a particular student's errors the teacher will call out a particular han's errors and let the erring child's han-mates apply peer pressure till the error goes away. So, how do the teachers identify one han from another, I wonder? Are they given color names, numbers, individual hiragana (like US schools might go Group A, Group B, Group C), what?

Feb. 26th, 2014 12:39 amMy Scrivener file for queer_bigbang has now cracked the minimum word count for queer_bigbang.
Mostly because my notes file is nine thousand words long.

Feb. 23rd, 2014 12:22 amDoes anybody know where I could find English-language resources on being queer and/or trans in Japan in the early 2000s? I've already found and ordered this book, which was published a couple years too early to be ideal. I also see this and this but I don't know that I want to spend thirty or sixty dollars on fic research, you know? And simply DuckDuckGoing is giving me queer Christian theology, which is not quite what I'm after.
There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad, she was horrid.

Feb. 18th, 2014 03:19 pmSetting up a new filter for my queer_bigbang, which is the Yu-Gi-Oh! always-a-cis-girl!Yuugi and actually-a-trans-woman!Atem fic. Ping me in the comments if you want to be on it. (If you don't currently have access to me, probably I've been meaning to give you access for a while and haven't gotten around to it.)
queer_bigbang, which is the Yu-Gi-Oh! always-a-cis-girl!Yuugi and actually-a-trans-woman!Atem fic. Ping me in the comments if you want to be on it. (If you don't currently have access to me, probably I've been meaning to give you access for a while and haven't gotten around to it.)So I'm experimenting with formatting the first few scenes of my queer_bigbang (this is the always-a-cis-girl!Yuugi and um-actually-a-trans-woman!Yami-Yuugi fic). I am attempting to use paragraph alignment to convey a particular mood. I'd like people's opinions on what mood I'm trying to convey and how well I'm succeeding at conveying it. Actual text of the first scene and a bit provided.
I'd also like to know how much of an accessibility fail I'm looking at. Paragraph alignment isn't a thing screenreaders register, is it?
Also, how to HTML code the text behind cut two to look like the text in the image behind cut one. I seem to recall <center> is bad form and I can't remember if I ever knew how to code right-aligned, and while I could look this up, I'd like someone more familiar with HTML to tell me whether I'm correct in my suspicion that I can't actually make the text look like the image without a lot more fuckery than I'm prepared to do or possibly than AO3 and DW are willing to handle. Because I think alignment goes with <p> tags, so I could do consecutive snippets with the same alignment as the same paragraph with <br /> tags between, but I'd need a new paragraph (with paragraphs spacing instead of line-break spacing) to make the following snippet a new alignment, which would mean breaking my paragraphs midsentence. So I would need to fuck with paragraph spacing in my <p> tags in order to get it to look like the image, which I don't think I want to slash can do.

WIP meme time!
Jun. 1st, 2012 01:07 amI only got one WIP, for queer_bigbang, but it's a doozy, so I'm giving you three snippets.
(1)
Grandmother Madeline looms over Emma. "We have no place in our ranks for a perpetual child!"
"I'm grown!" Emma protests. "I can fight!"
"But you will never be an adult!" Grandmother says, a sweeping gesture indicating a giant United States map with pushpins. Seattle, northwest Ohio, southeast Kansas, northwest Montana, southern New Jersey. There's no pattern to the Winchesters' movements. Emma will never find her father. "Look at yourself!" Grandmother says, and Emma is wearing the denim dress that hasn't fit in days. "You are a petulant, sniveling little child who will never be a warrior!"
"I will," Emma says. "Watch me."
(2)
"I have some advice for you, if you're willing to hear it," Barrowman says. "You're young. You're smart. You're pretty. Do something with your life that isn't going to turn you into an ugly corpse."
"My mom wanted me to be an investment banker," Emma says. She thinks of Aunt Charlene, of her people leaving her, and stifles a sob. "I'd rather hunt."
(3)
If he wants to imply that getting fucked is somehow shameful, well then he can just go get fucked himself.

May. 31st, 2012 01:37 amMy QBB Google Doc now has a paragraph in brackets that has a brief description of the scene that goes there plus 'Fuck it. On to the next.'
I have never done this before.

May. 30th, 2012 01:41 amThings I know today that I didn't know yesterday: Emma's MP3 player came with Salim Nourallah's "Don't Be Afraid" (she must have got the same model I did), there are going to be absolute hysterics when Claire figures out about the food additives, my girls are fond of a cappella as well as Florence (note to self, track down work by female a cappella groups), and the Dresden Dolls' "Half Jack" really speaks to Emma.
Things I have written today that I didn't have written yesterday: uh.

May. 28th, 2012 12:36 amI have spent all day on this scene and it's still less than five hundred words long and half of that is quotes.
On the other hand, less than four hundred words till I make QBB word count!
