a great marriage but it’s uber romantic to me! 😍 and I love that he loves all her, as you say, autistic-coded quirks!

Oh I love that we get different things out of it! Because I think they have great chemistry, including when they finally hook up! But I do think it freaks him the fuck out 🤣 and I love the nye speech 🤣 I mean, they’re just best friends who can’t get on wo each other. Maybe that doesn’t make

It’s one of my favorite movies but I always thought that scene underscores that whether your marriage lasts is really heavily dependent on luck just like meeting that person is dependent on luck. And I hope they last! But actually don’t know how he puts up w her 🤣

Posted on twt but it bears repeating:

There is no point in fighting ppl about alchemised. They've made up their minds and decided all their misinformation is correct, and nothing Sen says even now would change their minds. Better to just celebrate Sen and their AMAZING achievement and creation.

be viewed as any kind of encouragement to engage with canon. The opposite really.

Anyway, I’ll stop ranting.

Una Orion writes Dramione @unaorion.bsky.social · 20d

As I struggle with my writing and my association with the canon material, I try to remember that 1. People come to writing in different ways and that’s fine. And 2. The DHR writing community has almost universally categorically rejected that person and their work and writing cannot properly

in the DHR fandom and, if you can just ignore the hype around it, and quietly do what you love, it’ll die down and people will move on to the next thing. And I hope and trust that writers like Sen and Julie and Bridgitte have long and successful careers separate from fic.

So personally, I’m just going to enjoy what I enjoy and also keep enjoying smaller writers and BEING a smaller writer who has no interest in traditional publishing or growing into full-time traditional publishing. Fic is still plentiful and free and really fucking good. We’re so, so lucky

Una Orion writes Dramione @unaorion.bsky.social · 20d

They’re looking at numbers and capitalizing on established fandoms and readership. It’s no accident that they’re pulling from the top (white, straight) ao3 ships. Profit is all they actually care about at the end of the day. And you’re right, it takes away from Sen and our other amazing writers.

Una Orion writes Dramione @unaorion.bsky.social · 20d

It’s sad but Dramione fic origins was always going to be absolutely central to the marketing of these books because publishers see ao3 and the built-in fandoms as cash cows. They’re not just discovering talented writers and amazing stories.

You’re really summing up a lot of my recent thoughts too.

Aivlis @aivlisrocks.bsky.social · 20d

I don’t know how to explain this without sounding mean because that is not at all what this is about but omg i need Alchemised to be promoted purely on the basis of Alchemised. They need to stop bringing up the fanfic connection it is doing a disservice to everyone, SenLin Yu included.

I do kind of want to say that everyone currently steaming about the fanfic invasion of SFF owes me book reports about three contemporary reads they did like which weren’t written by them or someone they like personally but I’m not the boss of anyone.

Yo man I am sorry that the anonymity of fanfic allowed a number of authors of color who you do not personally approve of to attract large audiences of white women. I mean I’m not. But I’m sorry it upset you into writing an unsourced internet essay about it.

And I just picked up my copy of Alchemised. And I’m not ready to be the angsty bitch I’m going to be for the next four months after I finish reading this book.

Also thank you, thank you, thank you, Del Rey, for recognizing that they needed to give us this story in one go.

Celebrate we will 'cause life is short but sweet for certain
hey, we climb on two by two to be sure these days continue
things we cannot change.”

It’s a stunning song I’ve loved for years. And it also happens to be the song note of the latest chapter of my fic.

Una Orion writes Dramione @unaorion.bsky.social · 21d

Hey idk if anyone cares about this but in some versions of this song, the narrator sings to his lover, Helena, telling her

“Hey, Helena, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
grown tired of water all the time
you quench my heart and, oh, you quench my mind and say

Una Orion writes Dramione @unaorion.bsky.social · 21d

Happy Alchemised Day to all who celebrate!

The emotions I have about this story and writer are indescribable.

It’s not an exaggeration to say it changed my life. And I’m not alone in that.
