    Awaken

    It's been a while, but - while I'm not likely to write anything new, sorry! - I'm at a place now where I feel comfortable logging back in and reading (and sometimes commenting!) again. I know this didn't really merit an announcement, but I've seen a few DMs and comments since the last time I was here, and I just wanted to reassure people that if you want to message me or leave comments, they will

    I won't be deleting the account, because it's been pointed out to me before that some people somehow found something they liked in my stories and it's not really fair of me to take it away, but I'm done with Fimfiction. Thanks for having me. Bye.

    In which I apologise for being a year behind schedule and note a remarkable coincidence

    So, the five of you who are still following me will note it's been a while since I published a story, and even longer since I teased my big upcoming project - nearly a year since that blog, in fact! I'm so sorry.

In which I apologise for being a year behind schedule and note a remarkable coincidence · 12:20pm Oct 8th, 2021

So, the five of you who are still following me will note it's been a while since I published a story, and even longer since I teased my big upcoming project - nearly a year since that blog, in fact! I'm so sorry.

But the point of this blog is to say, well, firstly I'm still here, and secondly I'm still working on new stories. And with the G5 movie now out, it actually fired me up more, because a coincidental idea fell into my lap that both fits into what we know of G5 canon and also considerably strengthens some parts of the story which previously felt a bit stretchy. Like, it fits perfectly, almost suspiciously so. I was much surprised.

So, the upshot is that the ambitious two-stories-intertwined In the Blood/Do Not Be Afraid double-header is still very much go, along with a few other bits I have lying around. Thank you for staying tuned in the meantime, if indeed you still are.

Love,
TC

👀 seems spooky

Even though it started out based on a prompt from a long-forgotten Halloween contest, it's ended up gently contemplative (as with everything I ever write, seemingly) rather than scary. Well, depending on whether the nature of mortality and immortality scare you, I guess.

Glad to have you back!

Thank you! I've been here the whole time just reading, but I'd like to publish some actual new work soon!

"So, the five of you who are still following me"
Do people really stop following people just because they, the second "people", haven't done much in a while? I mean, what's the point? It's definitionally not as if they're posting annoying content or something; one'd get just as little following them as not following them, but the former means being notified if they do come back and start posting again.

Anyway, glad you're not dead, and that you enjoyed, or at least took inspiration from, the film. :)
