Hi, [community profile] no_true_pair! A couple of quick notes after the first week of our 2025 Eight Character Challenge, and, in particular, tags:

1. Thank you for tagging when you can! I've been adding tags twice a day as needed most days, however my availability might be spottier than usual from the 12th through the 17th. Any question/comment responses may also be delayed during that time.

2. In 2024, we ran out of tag space and a kind anonymous person bought us a year of Premium Paid time, which gave us extra tag space. That paid time is expiring on the 21st.

First, thank you again to that person! Second, and I feel like there's no non-awkward way to say this so I'll just try to be succinct: I don't want anyone to feel like they need to pay for the community but it's also okay if you'd like to.

When/if the community reverts to its previous status, at any point in the future, we'll simply follow previous plans of removing (non-recurring) character tags from early community posts and also refrain from creating new character tags for future rounds so that we can continue tagging creators and fandoms.

Thanks for being part of [community profile] no_true_pair.

Slowly managing to work my way backwards to catch up with the missing posts. Still more additional texts to add, many more posts and many photos, as the social media versions are the short ones and I'm starting off with a copy paste of the text and then editing the photos and uploading them, which is a slow process. It's a bit all over the place as I have three fb pages, one for myself, one for my medieval group and one for Rosalie's Medieval Woman proper, and a lot of stuff goes to only one of those pages.

I'm trying very hard to remember to tick the Do Not Show In Reading Page so you won't all get spammed with a hundred posts from me and ruin your feed. More to do tonight and tomorrow, but making a little headway.

Our group photo for Ex Libris Living History (minus our Doctor who was attending his patient back in camp) in our shiny things before the Saturday Grand Parade at Abbey Medieval Festival 2025. That's me in the blue with white spots, my sister in red beside me and my teenage niece and nephew on the left hand side on the end. 

Happily, I was able to dress us all in things that I had or was able to adjust. Most of the day was spent in day clothes, but we do like to dress up in our best for the parade!
 

Thank you Tracey Dee Photography.


Lavabo stand

[personal profile] sister_raphael



I've had a few DMs about my lavabo stand, so I'll post here too since it seems to be of interest.

The answer to the most asked question is I'm sorry, I don't have a pattern or instructions for this. If I did, it would be available for free on my website with everything else I have!

This is my first one, and the test one, and I'm halfway through making another in sturdier timber. Both times I have used offcuts which I already have, and estimated the size by looking at the manuscript image (in comments). The original looks to have a mirror also, so that will be a new addition. You can see I added a bottom cross brace too, although a metal bracket would provide strength.

I do need to make it better to transport, as though the dish holder lifts off, the base has repeatedly been damaged in transport and I need to make it detachable and pegged, I think!

The marriage of ship and plot

Sep. 7th, 2025 03:03 pm
mxcatmoon: (ML Inspire)
[personal profile] mxcatmoon
Fans on social media who hate romance, complaining about too many fanfics being about shipping.

Why can't it be both? My favorite type of story are the ones that have an interesting plot going on, and also a budding, developing, or complicated romance woven into them.

The stories I enjoy writing the most are the ones where there is a mystery, or something to solve, or a problem to get out of, and it's also furthering the relationship (and that means even the friendships and family dynamics).

Arriving home from a tedious day in court, all Ryo felt like doing was taking a hot shower to ease some of the tension from his muscles, then collapsing on the sofa to watch some mindless TV. But when he entered the apartment, he found Dee all done up in tight jeans and an emerald-green shirt that matched his eyes. He looked good enough to eat, and Ryo perked up a little at the sight.
 

“What are you all dressed up for?” He made no attempt to hide his appreciative appraisal of Dee’s appearance. “Going somewhere?”

 

“Yep! You and me are gonna paint the town tonight. I know ya probably wanna collapse in front of the TV, but that’s not what ya need after spendin’ all day sittin’ on those hard benches, waitin’ to testify. Ya gotta move around, loosen yourself up, or ya gonna be stiff as a board come mornin’. Trust me on this. I put out a change of clothes for ya on the bed. Hop in the shower, then get dressed. I’ll be waitin’ for ya.”


 
Ryo felt a smile forming on his lips, all his weariness melting away. “Give me twenty minutes.”
 

“You got it.”

 

 
The End
