I've got one foot out the door but I don't fight it any more

Very excited for both the next round of [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles and the upcoming [community profile] rarefemslashexchange. I'll be spending the next few weeks mining my fandoms for potential noms.

[community profile] femslashex has authors revealed! (reminder to self, do not post this until you confirm this fact!) I'm very excited about what I wrote.

Here's to the Downfall of Good Times (Kevin Can F*** Himself, Allison/Patty) for Netgirl_y2k

The power goes out and Kevin builds a pillow fort. Allison is sent next door for more building materials.

What birds have vanished one by one (Shirley (2020), Rose/Shirley) for [personal profile] fiachairecht

Forest. Blood. Fucking. Forest. Blood.

I received two rare ships in rare fandoms! 

the blood between me and you (The Wilds, Dot/Shelby) by SadieFlood

Words Pressing Like Fingers At The Inside of My Mouth (The Nevers, Harriet/Desiree) by Tamoline

I also enjoyed the Strange Empire fic, as well as kimaracretak's own Shirley/Rose. I think that rounds out the fandoms I'm familiar enough with, though I may have missed something!

And a bit of chatter about writing!

Dear Femslashex Creator

aphrodite_mine: (phoebe bridgers - smile)
Dear [community profile] femslashex  author,

Thank you for being here and for writing for me! Obviously, the rules of the specific fest or exchange apply, but I'm generally a multi shipper, and love romantic fic. Whether you want to use this exchange as your opportunity to try something new with style, pairing, dialogue, taboo elements, or employ all of your favorite tried-and-trues, I'm so excited to read what you create!

kevin can f--- himself (2021)

aphrodite_mine: (kevin can f himself - fuck)
Season 1 is out on AMC+ which isn't a full platform but a service you can access through Apple TV, Amazon Prime, or I think if you have cable you automatically get access. The promotional material basically covers the premise -- Allison (Annie Murphy, Alexis on Schitts' Creek) is the longsuffering wife of a typical sitcom buffoon, Kevin. The show is split between sitcom (when Kevin is onsite) and dark drama (when Annie, and later, other characters, are away from him). In the pilot, plot is revealed to Allison that helps to burst her bubble and she decides that Kevin can, if you will, fuck himself. 

Everyone, including Kevin most times, is layered and given depth. If you look on tumblr-esque spots, I'm sure you'll be spoiled for one of the biggest reasons for my recommendation, but I almost suggest that you go in blind. That said, if you want to know, I'm happy to share. 

Allison is wonderful and flawed, but the runaway gem of the show for me is Kevin and Allison's neighbor Patty (Mary Hollis Inboden). She's just incredible. Stoic and one of the guys until she's not. She's really let to develop and bloom and I'm so grateful that the show sees her as a gem as well!
