Merry Christmas to all my friends here.
And to those who have read Sun and Hearth (or who don't intend to, or those who don't mind spoilers), a Hearth's Warming gift:
Twilight floated a second fritter up to her mouth when she realized the first was gone. “What is in these things?” “Mostly love. Love ‘n about three sticks of butter.”
Merry Christmas to all my friends here.
And to those who have read Sun and Hearth (or who don't intend to, or those who don't mind spoilers), a Hearth's Warming gift:
Hey, some of you guys remember that thing I did a long time ago, where I wrote up 50 questions about headcanon and suggested people answer them on their blogs, and then, like, everyone on the site wanted to do it, and then the site mods sent me nice but stern messages suggesting I cut that shit out because it was spamming people's feeds?
Wanderer D posted a touching retrospective of his time in fandom, and that made me remember the very first I ever heard of the show.
(Potential implied spoilers but maybe not? below.)
If you've been waiting for a complete tag before you read it, or are looking for a novel to start reading this weekend, Sun and Hearth is now finished and posted.
Post-update blog for the penultimate chapter of Sun and Hearth. Last chapter and epilogue go up tomorrow.
Chapter 20 - Judgement is up now. Spoilers below the break.
Post-update blog post for Sun and Hearth, chapter 19 - To Deserve One Another
...actually, there really isn't one. I don't have a lot to say, and I had a bit of a mix-up with the last chapter that resulted in two different sets of edits, so I have to go through and reconcile them tonight. Everything is still on track, but having a bit of extra time this evening will make things much smoother.
Post-update blog for Sun and Hearth Chapter 18 - The Battle One Always Loses
Spoilers below the cut.
Only three more of these to go!
Post-update blog for Sun and Hearth Chapter 17 - Honor and Duty.
If you don’t remember how this works, spoilers in the form of author notes, ending credit song, and world building below the cut (but no world building tonight. Sorry)
Speaking of publishing… Sun and Hearth is ready to wrap things up. I'm going to post one chapter a day this week, with both the last chapter and epilogue on Friday.
I had talked about doing some kind of recap or summary, and I’ll include a brief, spoilered recap below, but as several people pointed out in the comments, it’s pretty impossible to recap this story…
This is a post I've been thinking about writing for a long time. I've mentioned or alluded to the subject when talking about writer reactions to criticism, about my own experiences putting out Sun and Hearth, and back when some other folks in fandom talked about fanfic reviews and negative criticism. I've also mentioned it to a few folks privately. It's kind of a sister post
