Day 8
In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
As always, my list begins with my largest and most popular series, Love Is For Children. This is Avengers fanfic about what would happen if our heroes actually got the mental support and comfort they so desperately need. It centers on nonsexual ageplay as a healing experience. If you're sick of the canon turning into wall-to-wall domestic abuse, and you like hurt/comfort, read this. Just be aware that there is a LOT of it now, and my work has been described as "flypaper for eyeballs."
Frankenstein's Family is fanfic of Frankenstein, the Modern Prometheus. It's genderfuck with Victor as transgender. He and Igor have a queerplatonic relationship and have constructed a son, Adam. This is gothic fluff.
Over in Schrodinger's Heroes, the crossover page has a handful of one-shots and two of my series:
Herolock crosses over with Sherlock, bringing Sherlock and John into the Teflon Tesseract. This is science fiction, a little mystery, and mostly sociological dynamics amongst the characters.
Schrodinger's Hulk crosses over with the Incredible Hulk (primarily Marvelverse). It posits that Hulk is Bruce's animus, and therefore Bruce must actually be feminine. So it's heavy-duty genderfic about what would happen if Bruce got tucked into a safe place with gender-aware friends to take care of them. If you want to wrap Bruce in a blanket, this is your fic. If you like Thunderbolt-bashing, at least read the first story for its conclusion.
I also have a couple of Star Trek entries, one Supernatural, one Batman, and miscellaneous others on AO3.
Want more? The Poetry Fishbowl will be running today with a theme of "That's not a mistake!" Drop by my blog and give me prompts, enjoy the crosstalk, or watch for free poetry to appear.
Poetry Fishbowl Open!
Jan. 8th, 2019 11:51 amThe Poetry Fishbowl is now CLOSED. Thank you for your time and attention. Please keep an eye on this page as I am still writing.
Starting now, the Poetry Fishbowl is open! Today's theme is "That's not a mistake!" I will be checking this page periodically throughout the day. When people make suggestions, I'll pick some and weave them together into a poem ... and then another ... and so on. I'm hoping to get a lot of ideas and a lot of poems.
Among my more relevant series:
An Army of One, Frankenstein's Family, Hart's Farm, The Moon Door, One God's Story of Mid-Life Crisis, The Steamsmith, and Tripping into the Future.
Polychrome Heroics focuses so much on choices that most threads and many individual characters relate to this theme. Some good examples include Antimatter and Stalwart Stan, Berettaflies, Calliope, Officer Pink, and Shiv.
Currently eligible bingo card(s) for donors wishing to sponsor a square:
Untranslatable Words
Click to read the linkback poem "Crossroads on the Hero's Journey" (10 verses, standalone).
What Is a Poetry Fishbowl?
Writing is usually considered a solitary pursuit. One exception to this is a fascinating exercise called a "fishbowl." This has various forms, but all of them basically involve some kind of writing in public, usually with interaction between author and audience. A famous example is Harlan Ellison's series of "stories under glass" in which he sits in a bookstore window and writes a new story based on an idea that someone gives him. Writing classes sometimes include a version where students watch each other write, often with students calling out suggestions which are chalked up on the blackboard for those writing to use as inspiration.
In this online version of a Poetry Fishbowl, I begin by setting a theme; today's theme is "That's not a mistake!" I invite people to suggest characters, settings, and other things relating to that theme. Then I use those prompts as inspiration for writing poems.
Cyberfunded Creativity
I'm practicing cyberfunded creativity. If you enjoy what I'm doing and want to see more of it, please feed the Bard. The following options are currently available:
1) Sponsor the Fishbowl -- Here is a PayPal button for donations. There is no specific requirement, but $1 is the minimum recommended size for PayPal transactions since they take a cut from every one. You can also donate via check or money order sent by postal mail. If you make a donation and tell me about it, I promise to use one of your prompts. Anonymous donations are perfectly welcome, just won't get that perk. General donations will be tallied, and at the end of the fishbowl I’ll post a list of eligible poems based on the total funding; then the audience can vote on which they want to see posted.

This is the freebie for the January 8, 2018 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from
dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "villain" square in my 5-1-19 Gimmicks / Roles / Characters card for the Pro Wrestling Bingo Fest. This poem belongs to the Polychrome Heroics series.

Woodpeckers!
Jan. 8th, 2019 03:31 pmBirds are swarming my hopper feeder today. :D There are lots of sparrows and dark-eyed juncos, along with some mourning doves. I saw a red-bellied woodpecker. Then I saw a pair of downy woodpeckers! I don't think I've ever seen a pair before. Both sexes are deckled black-and-white, and males have a red spot on the head. \o/
