Podfic complete, woot!

And There Was Only One Bed, Chapter Four is now available to listen to!

If you liked the fic (or if you haven't gotten to it yet but it seems like something you might like) and listening to stories is a thing you enjoy, go do so! [personal profile] gwogobo did a fantabulous job 💖

Oh yeah...

Today is the final day to vote in the 2025 Summer of the 69 Theme Poll!

There are currently eleven "front runners", with two tied for first place; I'm honestly not planning to vote myself this year, since everything is so close, but I guess we'll see if the poll gets any more votes before tomorrow morning.

If all the ratios stay the same through the end of the poll, more votes or not more votes, I'm going to go ahead and do double themes for the last of the "middle ten". IIRC, the bottom rung of themes last year had a lot more in it than this year currently does, though I'd have to double check.

So yeah! That's how things are over there right now.

I've (finally) made it about half an hour into the final chapter of SVSSS book three and I just want to give Luo Binghe all the (platonic) hugs 😭

Also ZZL. Boy deserves some of his own. Planning to get him laid for Sot69, at least.

Edit: 45 minutes left in the last chapter before the extras. Possibly the exact point where things start looking up again. There's no audio version available for Book 4 that I'm aware of, so I'll have to read said extras silently, but to be honest I'm looking forward to it. Bring on the happy ending, please and thank you!

Excellent 😈

In better news, today I realized that one of my longest standing plunnies would be a perfect fit for a modern day SVSSS AU: Subversion of the "going undercover as a couple (at a gay bar)" trope. There's a lot of details I have yet to work out, but in the meantime, it's excellent pondering fodder 👌

(Seriously, this plunny has been nibbling at me for more than ten years. I'm so glad it finally has a potential home!)

Edit: I found the post where I talked about the trope before! I should 100% write the fic. But first, I get to must outline... 👀

Got a very mild scolding at work, which RSD promptly blew out of proportion 🙄 Managed to work through it by composing a countdown poem about it.


Though it is rarely anything big or important,
just a small misstep here or there,
still I find myself flinching.
I shy away from
these lingering memories,
like open
wounds.


Needs a title still (initial title was "making a small mistake at work"), but it helped me through things, so. Still good. (Cuz goddamn does emotional disregulation make thinking about small mistakes feel like accidentally poking an infected hangnail or getting lemon juice on a papercut. Like, are you serious. That much from this? Can't we just give it up and heal already?)
