So here's this thread

conulyIn which this teacher earnestly wants a word to substitute for "chink" in Midsummer Night's Dream, and one person suggests kink which doesn't mean the same thing.
And on the one hand, I'm sure they all have their hearts in the right place, but on the other hand, maybe they should collectively teach a different play instead. Shakespeare wrote plenty of comedies, just pick a different one off the shelf.

The Friday On The Saturday But With Other Stuff
Mar. 21st, 2026 07:10 pmmagnavox_23I binged the entirety of Deadloch season 2 on Prime today. The kink in my neck is none too happy, but damn that is an excellent show. Written by the 2 Kates, starring Madeline Sami, mwa! <3
In that vein, would anyone have any recommendations for communities/websites etc where I could find some lovely sapphic imagery? I've the urge to explore some more Thasmin art... possibly due to the spoilers coming from Big Finish... I am not fussed on rating, I'll make it work.
onto the meme!
1. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
I had friends on the SG1archive that were on Livejournal, and found it had a better community for the creative side of fandom than the forums. Joined LJ in 2007, mirrored DW as soon as I could get an invite, and finished up with my personal LJ when the Russians banned LGBTQI+2 content in 2017. I ran the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sg1_debrief on both sites until the post dried up.
2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
49, though if anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to build on that. Drag me out of my shell!
3. Do you have a favourite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
Probably the icon communities, I love seeing everyone's amazing work. Back in the day I loved running the challenges onevent_horizons because there were/are so few spaces where fic and art are respected equally, and running sg_delights as a safe space for mature fanart. I do try to check my reading list at least once a week, life just gets in the way!
4. How did you pick your user name?
An old tv and a teenage obsession with Latin?
5. If you could change your user name, would you?
Nah, it's been too long now. I'm just Mags...
6. If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
Surprisingly, I am. I have periodically popped in just to keep it active so folks there can still access my older works, etc.
7. Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
I remember Denise posted something a while back about them trying to restrict use to Russian users only and implementing a pay to play system so they could track citizen's online activity hence an influx of new DW users. How many of our governments are trying much the same, dressed up as 'think of the children' whilst supporting the orange pedo starting another war...

Mar. 20th, 2026 12:37 pmcupcake_gothWork yesterday left me incredibly frustrated. The ducks that are nibbling me to death have mutated to giant size and with razor-sharp beaks. Because I was so frustrated, I decided I needed to reread one of the most disturbing sets of Hannibal AU fics I've ever encountered: A Gifted Student and A Letter to My Abuser. They're gorgeously, awfully written. (If you decide to read them, pay close attention to the tags oh god pay close attention to them.)
A Letter to My Abuser is, in some ways, the harder read for me, because when I first read it I tried to figure out why I identified so hard with a side character; Ollie, so giddy to meet his literary idol, but forcibly warned/ran off by this AU version of Will Graham. When I read it last night, my brain went "ohhhhh, yeah, Neil Gaiman", and then I had to read some fluffy fic to scrub my brain.
I hope his victims get closure. And that they win the legal actions against him, because they deserve the money they're suing for.
EDITED TO ADD: I used to subscribe to FKAHerSweetness' Ko-Fi, as she left Ao3 and only posted her fic behind a paywall. I eventually ended my subscription because as time went on, I didn't enjoy how she wrote Will. She writes AUs only, and more power to her, but they became something I didn't want to read.

There sure is a lot of Heated Rivalry fic being recommended every day
Mar. 21st, 2026 08:29 amconulyAnd every one of those recs is better than the books. Well, I've shared my opinion on the books, the problems and characterization are insufficiently balanced for dual viewpoints.
But anyway, that's not what I'm thinking about. What I'm thinking about is Fabian and his generically shitty parents who clearly don't care about him very much. ( Read more... )

The Friday Five for 20 March 2026
Mar. 19th, 2026 03:19 pmanais_pf posting in thefridayfiveThese questions were suggested by melagan.
1. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
3. Do you have a favorite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
4. How did you pick your user name?
5. If you could change your user name, would you?
The following bonus questions are brought to you by the fact that I (anais_pf) have been unable to access any page of LiveJournal for more than a week (and therefore cannot post to The Friday Five there):
6. If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
7. Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
Copy and paste to your own journal, then reply to this post with a link to your answers. If your journal is private or friends-only, you can post your full answers in the comments below.
If you'd like to suggest questions for a future Friday Five, then do so on DreamWidth or LiveJournal. Old sets that were used have been deleted, so we encourage you to suggest some more!
EDITED TO ADD: Today for the first time in a while, I am able to see on my computer that LiveJournal does indeed exist. However, when I try to log in, I get the message "Your IP address is temporarily banned." I will try again later. I hope someday to access LJ again. Thanks to all who tried to help!
