    2/16/2019, No New Fic This Week

    You know what the big problem with having something done way before the due date is? Having all that extra time before the next due date rolls around to waste time doing whatever whimsical bullshit tickles your fancy. This week, it was less procrastination and more a combination of writer's block, indecision, and my work situation. See, I'm getting ready to change jobs, and this

    2/5/2019, The Bucket gets a Hole

    Why do I always add the date to the title? To be honest, even I'm not sure anymore. I think it's a holdover from before Fimfiction's blogs had the dates. Either way, more stuff after the break!

    1/20/2019, Wild BLUNDY Appears!

    A posted story? Another one finished and waiting to be released? Rewatching the entire series? What is this, 2012?

    Nah, it's just a sign of the apocalypse. Beware, readers, for Blundy has officially returned from the dead. Raaaawr.

    No big promises this time. No idiotic pledges to write at least 1k a day. I'd like to, but I'm just gonna lean back and put it on cruise control. I want to write again, but I'm going ease back into it, rather than sprinting right out of the gate like I used to try to do.

    7/21/17, Not Dead (Yet!)

    I don't really like making excuses, so I'm just going to come out and say it: Between INJUSTICE 2, Until Dawn and working seven days a week, I haven't really done much (read: anything) in the way of writing since my ol' buddy ol' pall Timaeus challenged me to write a TaviScratch one-shot which I promptly started and then stopped working on

6/4/17, So. Much. Songponi. · 2:48pm Jun 4th, 2017

Slowly but surely working my way through seemingly every TaviScratch fic on the site as I outline what's sure to be my longest story yet. Any recommendations?


I've read Stages, The Things Tavi Says, The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, University Days, She Woke to Fur Elise, Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! and (most of) Allegrazza, Syncopation, and Trust Me, and I've got My Roommate is a Vampire waiting to be read. I must have more TaviScratch. I needs it; I craves it.

Speaking of which: If you haven't already, you should definitely read Stages and The Things Tavi Says. The former is one of the best TaviScratches that I've read so far, and the latter is one of the best stories (original fiction included) that I've read in a long time. I've always had mixed feelings about Skirts's stuff, but he's a master storyteller when he gets serious.

Anyway, I'm plugging away at my own stories at a marginally effective pace. I've put the AU on the backburner because there's a lot that I need to figure out before getting back into it. Luckily, I've got another story floating around in my brain that's begging to be written. In fact, I've got the GDoc open as I write this.

No points for guessing what it might (or might not) be. :P

(And yes, I'm well-aware that the official ship name is OctaScratch, but I think TaviScratch flows so much better. Don't you agree?)

You have already mentioned all the (completed) ones I have

Some others:
- Two's Company, Three's a Crowd (unofficial spin-off and spiritual sequel to Allegrezza)
- Playing With My Heart

You've covered pretty much all of the big ones. Depends on how far you're willing to go age rating wise.

Have to say, I've been starved for OctaScratch lately. Read through every good one I could get my hands on a while back.

Either way, I have a bookshelf of OctaScratch that covers a lot of the really enjoyable ones. It ranges from "just okay" to "Amazing" in quality.

(full disclosure, contains occasional straight up clop stories)
Personally though, one of my recent faves is Nuit Blanche.
