Other online presence and commissions

Other online presence: Message me for a link to my personal website, which contains some of (soon to be much more of!) my personal, non-fannish writing. My AO3 is here. You can click through links on one or both to find the bulk of the rest of my “online self.”

Commissions: I’ve recently decided to start writing short stories, folding custom origami (examples: Three Wise Monkeys; Treasure Boat), doing little drawings, and offering Japanese language tutoring for small fees. I’m happy to negotiate prices according to your means, but generally expect to pay $25-$50 US (or foreign equivalent according to current exchange rates), for a >5k story OR one to three custom origami figures OR a drawing or two OR a one-hour language lesson. Message me here, or use the contact form on my website!

@absynthe–minded and I have something about the Gemma Doyle books to share with the class:

The girls jockey to be second. I confess that I also want Miss McCleethy to like me. I vow to do my very best, to win her over and erase last night’s unfortunate encounter. As Miss McCleethy makes her way down the line, moving from girl to girl, I silently practice my approach.

This is very exciting, Miss McCleethy, for I’ve long wanted to be an archer. How clever you are, Miss McCleethy, to have thought of this. I do so like your suit, Miss McCleethy. It is the epitome of taste.

“Miss Doyle? Are you with us?”

Miss McCleethy is standing beside me.

“Yes, thank you,’ I say. Nervously, I take my bow and arrow in hand and take my stand at the line. The bow is much heavier than I anticipated. It pulls me forward into a hunch.

My breath comes out in cold puffs. I’m trying to think only of the target, but my mind will not be quiet. When was she in India? Whom did she visit? Did she love it as I do? And why doesn’t she like me? I stare at the center of the target until it’s blurry.

Gemma has joined the Teacher Crush Community, is what Absynthe and I are saying.

the one twitter feature that tumblr desperately needs is polls. i need to be able to gather Data from you clowns. it’s not the same to have to embed an external link because then that data is tainted by only applying to the type of clowns to click an external link just to answer a poll question.
