Hello from a second-time participant! Here are my wishes. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to PM me.

Wish 01. Comments and kudos on my stories

I write fanfiction focusing on rarepairs and minor characters in the Pokémon fandom, with some other very small fandoms and original work sprinkled throughout.. I'd be thrilled to receive comments on anything that catches your eye. You can find my works under the AO3 username Audrelite. 99% of my stuff is 1k words or less so it's nice and short, but I do have some shorter one-shots as well. (I'm not a longfic writer.) No concrit, please, and I'd appreciate if you didn't mention that you're coming from this event or that you're fandom-blind.

Wish 02. Gift fics based on my exchange requests

I'd love to receive gift fics for any of my exchange requests, except for Original Work (including Object and Concept Anthropomorphism). Since my likes and DNWs, both general and NSFW, continually change over time, please consult the Optional Details of the latest exchange I've signed up for. My AutoAO3 App page, listing all of my requests, can be found here, and some giftbox-style events not hosted on AO3 I've signed up for can be found here.

Fandoms I frequently request include Pokémon, Beyblade Burst, and the Teen Titans animated series; others I'd really love gifts for include The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, Metal Fight Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the Seven Deadly Sins anime, Toonami, and many others. Please see the links above for specific info.

Wish 03. An EPUB file of any book off my Kindle list

Find my e-book wish list here.

Wish 04. E-Giftcards

Amazon, Spotify, Google Play

Wish 05. Someone who's read the Black Dynasty series by Marilena Barbagallo so I can gush about it

I've been utterly obsessed with this dark romance series for most of this year, and I've been very lonely since I can't really talk about it with any of my friends. Guess this is what you get when you love 1) dark romance and 2) Italian books—"niche" is an understatement to the nth degree.

Wish 06. Pipe Dream Wish: New iPad Mini

To keep my fanfic writing alive! (The fact that this iPhone X I've been using for my writing and creative endeavors has lasted me over 8 years astounds me to no end.)

Thanks very much for checking out my list, and happy holidays!

Dear Frank,

I write to you with incredible news. Last month, I brought home my new service dog, Tango. This was made possible by this Sunday Secret Post.

That post led to nearly $10,000 of donations within 2 weeks! I send all my love to you and to every single person from the PostSecret community and beyond who contributed, as well as those who weren’t able to contribute but still saw the post and hoped on my behalf. You all have made something amazing happen for this 25-year-old woman who is now so excited for the life of independence, freedom, and trust Tango and I are building together.

Thank you for hearing me and helping me that chilly day in Connecticut several years ago, Frank. The secret I shared in that auditorium was one of despair, believing I would never be able to partner with a service dog of my own. I am so grateful to be able to look back on that day and smile because I just didn’t know yet what good fortune was coming my way.

If you would like to make a difference in someone’s life this Giving Tuesday, please consider the following non-profits.

Dear Frank,

A few years ago, I came to one of your shows in Ohio. I was in a really bad season of life – my depression and anxiety were bogging me down. Most days, I did not want to be alive. I had counseling the day of the show, and I told my counselor that it was free and I had been waiting years to be able to go to one of your shows, but that my depression wasn’t allowing me to even feel excited at the opportunity. She convinced me to go, and I will always be thankful for that. I ended up getting a seat right next to the stage and it was so awesome. I cried almost the whole time because I had felt actual joy again for what felt like the first time in forever. I was surrounded by strangers, yet somehow felt we were all connected by just being there together.

Anyways, you ended up giving me one of the books in the middle of your show, and had written a message in it (I didn’t yet know this) At some point, you offered people to go to the back/side of the room where there were microphones – you said we could share a secret or a story. I quietly got up and went to the back so I could share. While I was waiting, to my surprise, you said something along the lines of “there was a young lady sitting up here who I gave the book to. I had written a message in there but I think she left?” To which I shouted, “no, I’m just back here!!!!” I ended up sharing with the audience about how I came to know about PostSecret (two of my best friends who I feel have changed my life forever, for the better, introduced me to you and your website and your books) and how I struggled with suicidal thoughts and how coming to your show that night was the first think that felt right that whole year.

I cried into the microphone as I shared what reading the Sunday secrets for all these years has done for me and I thanked you for helping me feel known, seen, and heard. You walked from the stage to meet me as I was waking back to my seat and hugged me. I cried even more! You said to the audience something along the lines of, “it’s ironic that you shared your story tonight, because the message I wrote in your book says, “the world needs to hear your voice!” and it was just such a moment! You also handed me the dollar bill you had kept in your wallet, the one that had, “we are all part of something bigger and we are all part of it together.” I cried, again! To no surprise haha. I felt such happiness, such gratitude. I called my mom after the show and she ended up writing you on Facebook to thank you because she had been so worried about me. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you thank you. You have no idea how much that night meant and still means to me. I’m happy to report that life is better these days. I still have anxiety and depression, but I don’t want to die anymore. I framed that dollar bill and I see it everyday and I’m reminded that it’s good to be alive, even when it doesn’t always feel like it.

As I told several people I would, today I cleaned my computer. The physical object. I got the Q-tips, the Isopropyl, the canned air, the screwdriver set, watched a couple of videos and read some manuals, and got to work. It was a delightfully straightforward set of tasks and, unless I'm running a hyper-specific program that has moments of taking up 100% of the CPU, my computer's now nice and quiet. The only issue I've got right now is the front LED is blinking in an irregular frequency, which tells me one of two things: a physical component needs to be replaced at some point, or the LED itself isn't working properly. Absolutely nothing I've done so far today has caused me any further issues, so I'm not going to worry too much. I'll see what happens the next time I get the urge to play Stardew Valley.

Also of note, though much less pleasant, was having to bear through a couple anxiety spikes. It's been a while and I'm out of practice with them, and I haven't forgotten how they keep lingering. I hope it's all gone by tomorrow.

Current Mood: worried
Current Music: nothing now

Irritatingly, the medlar jelly recipe I used last time I made the stuff, over at the RHS, is no longer extant (web.archive.org link!). Herewith my own readily findable copy of the thing, plus my notes on what I'm actually doing this time around.

(For amusement: I apparently first found the medlar sticky toffee pudding recipe in 2023...)

About three or four months ago, I started feeling a vague pain deep in my right hip. Not a muscle problem, not an arthritis bone-on-bone feeling. It just...hurt.

I kept trying to exercise, but it kept getting more difficult. I vaguely thought, "I should see someone about this." I had my usual yearly appointment set with my doctor for several months away, so I waited.

I probably waited too long.

I have been walking around Lake Nokomis regularly but by the time the appointment came up, I had been reduced from walking all the way around to managing only about one-third of the way around, limping.

Then I realized I was starting to feel pain in my knee. And my lower back.

And then I realized it hurt just lying in bed.

My doctor sent me to an orthopedic specialist and I met with her this past week. The diagnosis: Gluteal tendinopathy, along with some mild osteoarthritis in the right hip and tranchaneric bursitis in both hips. What a mouthful.

Action plan: start physical therapy, and if that doesn’t help, will consider cortisone shots.

I'm aimlessly wandering through life. I never really know what the fuck is going on. I can usually be found listening to music, reading, obsessing over Formula 1, watching weird movies/tv shows, or hanging out with my friends :)

Access Policy:

Public: Non-too-deep personal stuff, most fanfic and fannish stuff, memes and stuff like that
Access only: some fanfic, possibly some personal stuff I'm not comfortable sharing with everybody but still nothing too personal; [I give access to this level to anybody who subscribes \o]
Custom access: I'm planning to have a third access tier where I can be completely unhinged because I will only add my closest friends to it lol

Mostly Post:

I wish I could say fannish stuff, but lately I've just been rambling about this and that. Hopefully a miracle happens and I start writing fic again :°

Dealbreakers:

if you're a TERF, fatphobic, queerphobic, racist, xenophobic, sexist or generally bigoted, we're not going to get along, so there's no point in subscribing lol I'm also a really chill person, so if you're really into creating/propagating wanks and drama pls leave me out of it, I don't have the mental energy to deal with that ^^;
I'm not gonna constantly post nsfw stuff, but this is still a 18+ space!

Warnings (lol):

I curse a lot and talk a lot about smutty stuff? There's basically no trigger warning that can stop me, but I AM gonna try to warn if I'm discussing something that could upset people. I may forget to warn for specific kinks, though ^^;
I also sometimes cave in to Bad Brain and PCOS and disappear for a while, but I promise I'm going to try not to do that :°)

AO3 Link | Owed a Favor (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Batman [Movies 1989-1997]
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth
Additional Tags: Drabble, Post-Break Up
Summary:

Alfred is a bit disappointed.

Alfred raised one eyebrow at his charge arriving alone for the night.

"I presume the absence of Miss Vale is the reason you insisted on driving yourself to the date?"

Bruce grimaced. "She's got a prime opportunity to do some reporting in Hong Kong," he deflected.

"And were I to inquire on the ultimate ownership of the press agency she will be going there for, would I find it under one of our ledgers?"

That got silence and a pointed removal of his coat at first, which Alfred took.

"No," Bruce said, relenting. "But someone did owe me a favor."

AO3 Link | Paris Trip (150 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Superman
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Perry White
Additional Tags: Drabble and a Half
Summary:

It's business; why's Clark nervous?

"Lane! Kent!"

Clark hastily put his pen down and stood up, taking that first stride and nearly bumped into Lois. He paused and made the gesture for her to precede him, not that she'd ever done much more than glare. He followed behind her, and shut the door at Perry's irritable wave at that.

"Yes, Mister White?" Clark asked after Lois's more irritated "What is it?"

"Talk to Daphne for tickets; sending you both to Paris to cover their reaction to the Euro Parliament elections," Perry said. "Try not to get off-beat on this one!"

Lois smiled. "Thank you, Perry."

Clark was suspicious of that sudden shift in her voice and mood, but he followed her out with a 'yes sir', to go see Daphne. Paris might be an interesting place to visit, without it being about world peace or saving the world.

Lois seemed to see it as good.

Merry Christmas to all of you. I know I'm early, just can't wait.
