#WIP Wednesday

Taking this from @ariestess because I keep wanting to post stuff from WIPs and keep missing Six Sentence Sunday!

It’s #WiPWednesday. Pick one or more of the following to answer:
What are you working on right now? What should you be working on, but
aren’t? What can you share a preview of?

Projects I’m working on right now:

  • A rewrite of an original fiction project
  • Supergirl Captain America AU
  • Finding more sources to research queer culture in America in the 30s

What I should be working on, but am not:

  • Supercatlex Hellfire fic
  • Inputting data for my girlfriend’s coding project
  • The story for a D&D-style RPG I’m DMing

And here is a preview of some more of the Captain America AU (and by preview of course I mean first draft that might get written completely differently by the time it is posted):

“Karl,” Lena says over the radio, and Kara bites back a sob, can’t think
of losing her, too, but—she needs to do this and they’re watching her,
she can’t reveal herself, she’ll survive this—(if she doesn’t…)

About
to hit the ice, Kara thinks of how she never got the chance to go
search for Alex’s body, about how her whole life on Earth has been about
searching for something or another when what her parents sent her to do
was protect. She is protecting people now.

Love is Alex not
hesitating to lay down her life for Kara’s, even when she knew Kara
would have survived because she’s an alien. It’s Kara willing to die for
Alex’s people when there’s no Alex left to die for, when she knows in
her heart Kal-El isn’t coming. (Kal-El never knows there’s another Kryptonian to search for, not his cousin, not the ship of them pulled into orbit with him). 

sapphorb:

i read the sentence “abusers groom their character witnesses as carefully as they groom their victims” (in a comment thread in response to a “but i know [the accused] and hes such a nice man!!”) and it’s blowing my mind a weird amount even though i guess i already knew that

there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

to all the people reblogging this and saying “except for this type of ship i don’t like”: get bent
