Tumblr's demise, a return to Dreamwidth, and the future of my fanworks

[kryptaria]

My pronouns are she/her.

I write fanfic as Kryptaria in various fandoms/pairings, including but not limited to:

• MCU/Captain America (mostly Steve/Bucky)
• James Bond (Daniel Craig era, mostly 007/Q, 006/007, or 006/007/Q)
• Merlin (Merlin/Arthur)

I love crossovers, AUs (both modern and paranormal), werewolves, and dinosaurs. I used to love angst, but with the world turning into a dumpster fire, I need more and more fluff.

I write #ownvoices for PTSD, anxiety, service dogs (and dog training in general), asexuality, and Judaism.

I married my beta, Leavesdancing / Zephyrfox . We're ace, probably aro, and definitely gender-questioning if not agender/enby. (Side note: Labels change, and that's okay! We're in our late 40s/early 50s and still discovering ourselves.)

We have six cats and three dogs. One of them is my service dog, Bucky, though his name should really be Kevin from Ghostbusters, because he's very beautiful and, well, not all that smart. You can keep up with Bucky's adventures on my twitter, jordansbrock . And our gorgeous borzoi baby has her own twitter, xenawarriorzoi .

I'm also a published author currently writing as Jordan S. Brock. I've pulled my first two books because they're a little too pro-gun for the violent times we live in, but my third book, CHANGE OF ADDRESS, is available through the publisher, Riptide, or all major retailers including amazon. It's only $3.99, and I'd love to get back to writing the sequel.

Nice to see you here! I've watched you on tumblr and read a few of your fics on A03. There's not a way to structure the previous sentance to make it not sound weird but here we are.

I've just gotten a puppy and anyone who knows the struggle and posts positive AfterShark content is really helping my mental health so I'll have a look over at your pup twitters!

In case it is of any recognition to you (it's okay if it's not!) I was active as fifolet on tumblr.

Welcome to Dreamwidth!

Nice to meet you!

Puppy-based insomniacs, unite! (For a nap.)

Xena's deepest joy is in chewing on Bucky, who's got such thick fur, she could gnaw on him for a month and never reach skin, so he's not teaching her bite inhibition. That's left to us humans with fragile skin and stories to write.

Meanwhile, I can't focus on the 150k-so-far Merlin-Bond crossover (part 1 of a series), the Merlin Halloween fic that's a month and a half late, or the Merlin Chanukkah fic I started posting two weeks ago.

So what do I do? Start another fic, of course.

(Let's not even talk about the book deadline that I missed so long ago, I'm pretty sure archaeologists will have to get out their shovels to find it...)

As someone who researches ad nauseum I took a chance on my puppy, Radio, as he is a rough collie shepherd mix. Unfortunately for my fragile human flesh he's gone hard on shepherd herding and biting instincts. It's taken a few weeks but he's finally getting the hang of soft mouth. Luckily I'm in a close enough urban centre that I can take him in for puppy play dates with the other raptors which thank goooood really helps him lay off!

But suffice to say I feel your pain, it's hard to get things done with a puppy demanding attention twenty four seven. I basically accepted that my life was forfeit for his first month and only now am I getting back some peace.

I work in book publishing in the daytime so I promised my partner I'd do a substantive edit if he could finish nanowrimo- he held up his end but I'm still working on mine. Since he's dealing with the same hardships he's found it in his heart to forgive.

Stay strong!!! Writing is better then not writing by a long shot, even if some projects are a little later then scheduled~
