Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Beet Red #30 [The Fulcrum]

[personal profile] paradoxcase posting in [community profile] rainbowfic
Name: The Last Day of History (Nightmare Edition)
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Beet Red #30: Live to fight another day
Styles and Supplies: Reimagining, Nubs, Chiaroscuro, Panorama
Word Count: 2324
Rating: T
Warnings: Non-Graphic Gun Violence
Characters: Setsiana
In-Universe Date: Night of 1912.8.5.1
Summary: Setsiana has a nightmare.
Notes: I've been posting the early parts of this story (so far up through the very long chapter where Cusäfä is introduced) to a critique site, and the consensus was that the first part of this story (this post) was not a good opening. Since the worldbuilding that's introduced there is not strictly relevant until the end of part one, I redid that scene as a nightmare that Setsiana has after they come back from the T'arsi Fair and she is introduced to guns for the first time (so, basically between this post and this post). I do want to revise it again based on additional feedback I've received on this version, but I figured I would post this second revision here.

This is also the first installment of a Beet Red Nubs tapestry that I'm going to be using in the future to write missing scenes from completed stories or Tales From the Neighborhood plot threads. I have ideas for most of the prompts, but most of them are not scheduled yet, and thus won't be posted for at least another year. I figure this can be both Nubs and Reimagining, since it is a rewrite but is now also chronologically during a period of time that was skipped over, initially.

TV Tropes Game

Hi all!

It has been a LONG time since we did the TV Tropes Game, so let's go again!

Leave a comment on the post and I will leave you five random tropes from TV Tropes. Use two in a story and get five novelty beads. Of course, if you feel up to a challenge, you can use more than two. You'll get an extra novelty bead per trope used.

The game will run from today, March 1st, to Wednesday, April 1st. You can get a new set of tropes after you've posted the first story-- there's no limit to the number you can get except your own writing speed. You can also mulligan, but it's more fun if you give it a shot.

If you get a trope that is racist, sexist, ableist, whatever, and don't want to use it, let me know and I will redraw one for you (since a mulligan would be an entirely new draw of five tropes). If a trope would be triggery for you, same thing goes. This should be fun, not painful or hurty, so please don't hesitate to ask!

Mods are not liable for time lost to TV Tropes.
