Stoplight Delight

Several people have asked if I have a Patreon account. I don’t, because the legality for authors of transformative works is muddy. However, for those who do want to send a token of good will, I am now on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/V7V1PCCJ

@ClaireGid Skies like this have stolen my heart.

Enjoying the last days of fall before the snow blows in.

If you have a little room in your Twitter world to support a wonderful student, my cousin @clairegid needs followers for her social media course. It’s not Owl Post, but what can you do? Swing over if you can. Ta very much! 💜

What strange times we live in… and it hasn’t been terribly conducive to writing for me. I still think of all my wonderful readers often, and I love you all!

One year after deleting “Mudded” b/c the world needs no more white stories (even critical) set in the odious, slavery-driven Confederate States, I’ve removed the note and feedback too. I‘m confident my readers join me to support #BlackLivesMatter. If you don’t, see yourself out.

With my original novel being sculpted into its final form, I am building a Twitter presence to help with networking as I seek publication. If you want to support my original writing, please follow @keylukan ! (Fanfic updates will still be posted here. Stoplight forever!)

@daisydemonfann1 And he’s phenomenally gifted in his craft, too! (Both the character and the actor.)

@AgainstTheMoon I love this guy!! British accent with gorgeous Middle Eastern features, just 😍😍😍

Another DS9 birthday! Alexander Siddig (Siddig El Fadil) is 53 today. He brought charm, depth, and sublime skill to the role of Doctor Julian Bashir. Often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, he proved that DS9 was, indeed, “where heroes are made”. Thank you, Sid! #StarTrek

@Dea_al_Mon89 Aww! That’s very gratifying. Thank you.

@AgainstTheMoon just sayin’

I have such incredible readers. Thank you all for lifting me up in so many countless ways!

Writer’s block is bad. Having a writing-related crisis of confidence is worse. I have such pride and confidence in my fanfic. Why can’t I generate the same for my original work?

@Dea_al_Mon89 Sound advice!

@AgainstTheMoon Happy Level Up Day! Don't spend your skill points all in one place.

Finally, a new chapter of TVW, just in time for my birthday! archiveofourown.org/works/15211109… m.fanfiction.net/s/12982485/71/

Highly relevant to “The Viewless Winds”!

@Dea_al_Mon89 Thank you, dear!

@AgainstTheMoon You gotta take care of you, first, darlin'.

I’m so sorry for the recent lack of updates. My health is spiraling again, and I am struggling to find the energy to create. Thank you for your patience.

@SilverSlippers I’m definitely trying! Thank you.

@AgainstTheMoon I'm glad you are taking care of yourself first.

"The Viewless Winds" doesn't give Julian much opportunity to smile, which is unfortunate because Sid has a radiant smile. Enjoy! #DS9 #AlexanderSiddig

A belated update announcement for my belated update: Part XII, Act II of TVW is live at last! fanfiction.net/s/12982485/67/… archiveofourown.org/works/15211109…

For those reading on FanFiction.Net, I couldn’t include the URL for the “Rose Adagio” from Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty”, which Palis dances. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=u4aLIe…
