The Pull List

In which I list what fanfics I am working on so that you know what to expect. This post is updated as necessary; its post date reflects when it was last updated. I write my stories in Scrivener and Google Docs, and am currently posting exclusively on FanFiction.Net and Archive of Our Own.

Between troubles with technology and job hunting (hey, gotta grow up sometime), I haven’t been able to post as much as I’d like. Here are some (small) updates.

Note to Self now has a heavily reworked version under the title Flight Mode.

Home Assignment was published for the @dickgraysonbigbang. It’s also my first fic to receive artwork, which is super exciting!

A Jason-centric sequel to All the Corners That Are Left is tentatively in the works.

A long, canon divergent Batfam WIP titled Family Crisis is slowly being written for the WIP Big Bang, and won’t be posted until it’s complete. Here is the summary:

At the close of the gang war, Batman is the target of an attempted deception concerning the life of his former protégé Stephanie Brown, and suddenly nothing is as important as his family. While Dick battles trauma, Tim struggles with grief, Cassandra searches for belonging and Steph recovers from assault, Bruce faces the return of ghosts from his own past and psyche.

You can now judge me by my bookshelves on LibraryThing.

Lastly, I’m doing some beta reading for a story based on the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie. Here’s the link on FF.net, and the link on AO3. I can verify that it’s a very compelling story with a lot of heart.

Stay safe out there.

upswings:

ACTUALLY. anyone up for a survey poll?

(the choices are calibrated based on my immediate circle, i know they’re biased) (that said anyone is welcome to answer and/or reblog)

Not counting the Batfam, what do you consider your primary area of (DC Comics) interest?

(Teen) Titans (1960s/NTT/‘99 “Titans”/etc.)

Young Justice (1998 and/or 2019)

Birds of Prey (any comics iteration)

Superfam

Wonderfam / Amazons

Flashfam

Arrowfam

Green Lanterns / Lantern Corps

Other superhero “family” (Aquafam, Shazamily, etc.)

Other superhero team (JSA, JLI, Outsiders, etc.)

Something that doesn’t fit into any of the above categories (tell me!)

Who are these people? I only know Batfam.

Another doodle from the same 60s Batman scene. Dick was stalling until Bruce could show up, and then speaking on behalf of Batman who for some reason couldn’t be present. And then as Gordon and O’Hara run out, Bruce gives Robin a stealthy thumbs up before they follow the officers out. I just love little moments like that ☺️

Summary:

For Tim Drake – seventeen, grieving and unprepared to return to Gotham after personal tragedy – sinking into isolation is as natural as breathing. But when he is abruptly pulled into the future by his nineteen-year-old self, both of them find that their brief time together could give them the impetus and perspective they need to move on. Self-reliance is both a virtue and a vice.

In January, I wrote and posted a gift fic featuring Tim, Dick and time travel, but it was a rush job, and I was never fully satisfied with its quality. So, I decided to rewrite it, and as it subsequently became quite different from the original prompt, I am posting it separately under a new title. It can be read as taking place a couple of months after All the Corners That Are Left, though both stories stand alone.

Have you read the Batman Wayne Family Adventures webcomic? pretty fun stuff i particularly liked the one where Dick and Wally try other ways for speedsters to carry people

Hi! I’ve read some of the Wayne Family Adventures webtoon, yes, it’s very cute and fun and I enjoy that it draws a lot of people in with an easy to start place for these characters I love so much.

It’s not my primary source of content, because I’m interested in the main comics continuity and in my head I keep likening Wayne Family Adventures to being kinda like the LEGO Batman stuff–it’s so adorable and funny! There’s a lot of echoes of the characters I know in there! But it’s never going to inhabit the same space as the main continuity because it’s deliberately meant to be a softer and fluffier adaptation that’s based more on fanon than the comics.

Which I’m glad it exists and I love that people love it (and it has some really pretty art to it!!), but given that I have 10+ years of comics to catch up on, that’s where I’m spending my time these days. 😂

really crazy how much i’ve imagined this fic. like it’s soooooo imagined you wouldn’t even believe. not writing it though

im really stoned and sleep deprived and im thinking about some of the “about” pages ive seen from young tumblr users and im like. who tf is out here telling 14 year old kids that they gotta put shit like a detailed description of all of their potential social privileges next to a summary of their medical history on public display. Who told them to do that. i don’t wanna see these poor kids pinning detailed lists of their traumas next to words like “thin passing” to the top of their blogs so that every unknown passing stranger can immediately see it. kids whoever is telling u that is wrong ok. im in my mid 20s and I don’t even put my real name on most things online. ur allowed to just be on here and have fun. also don’t blindly trust strangers ok. pls be safe. go look at cat memes

joking about adults who rely on their parents (you know, the classic “grown men who live in their mom’s basement” joke) does harm disabled people, by the way. it doesn’t matter if you don’t think you’re targeting us. you are.

i’m getting my own living space for the first time ever in two weeks. it’s in my mom’s basement in a new house. i’m physically and psychologically disabled, i have multiple severe mental health conditions, multiple physical disorders, i use a powerchair, i have to spend most of my time in bed, etc… of course its in my mom’s basement. i’m lucky to have a mom who cares for my support needs.

you know why i cant live fully on my own? sometimes im in so much pain or so sick i cant get out of bed for days, and if i was alone, i’d starve. i can’t go outside much, and on top of my mental health issues, living in total isolation would destroy me. i can’t manage appointments or finances or any of that on my own. i wasn’t able to finish high school due to my physical and mental issues. i can’t get a job, it takes all of my energy to do so much as take care of my hygiene, and i’m terrified of people. living on my own is dangerous for me.

this is a dream come true. we’re getting a house where i can try to be independent, but if i can’t, i’m safe.

and yet, i have to fear all of the implications that will have for my social life, if i’m ever able to get one. i’ll have to tell people to go around back to get into my house, and when they ask why, i’ll have to tell them i’m in my mom’s basement. and it doesn’t help that people frequently see my autistic traits and deem me a creep - great, im a creep in my moms basement, this is going to do wonders. and i’m sure all of my other mental issues will make that even better. /s

like, i dont care if youre joking about the neurotypical able-bodied people who “leech” off of their parents - first off, if you really were, i don’t know where the creepy part of the joke comes in, and secondly… people have their reasons. i dont know of many people who willingly decide to keep living with their parents in a basement if they had the ability to go to their own apartment. it is not a moral failing to struggle with independence as an adult. stop acting like it is
