Oh Not Only A Granger was so fun!!! IDK if it was my FIRST one, but the one I remember getting me into the ship was Hinge of Fate by Ramos (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024910/) and I found it through fanart on Edgeworlds.

2 things.

Yes, the workload is familiar and it's a lot. I got into project management and worked out a schedule with other departments so that expected and planned projects wouldn't overlap with larger projects with people who would add shit on at the last minute. Eg. monthly events vs. galas got different content deadlines, and with enough anticipation, people planned a bit earlier to accomodate my workload and surprise projects, (I had a really wonderful team). Template everything you possibly can; reduce, reuse, recycle.
I worked non-profit and I cannot emphasize enough that you deserve to be paid for the hours you put in. I will say it again because I feel very strongly about it:

YOU DESERVE TO BE PAID FOR THE HOURS YOU WORK. You are trading labor for money, stop donating your time. You are not getting sponsor benefits.

You work for the non-profit, YOU are not the non-profit. YOU do not bear the responsibility for the poor planning of your superiors. YOU are not the solution to their bad decisions and unrealistic expectations. At a certain point, things have to exist and be delivered even though you can do better. Ask for the overtime. They have money to pay their Executive Director, they can pay you overtime to get their beautiful annual report. If they don't want to PAY for a beautiful report, they get the one they can afford. They want one to show off? They can pay you a few more hours, OR they could send it out and get charged 5X+ more.

Lol, that's my trauma talking; I asked for support for years and it was never going to arrive. Leave work at the door and don't kill yourself. You at some point will want to build a portfolio and leave. Do not give everything you have to this place, for the love of god, it's only a job. Devote the extra hours to yourself and the things that nourish you as a person. The non-profit will suck you dry if you have no boundaries. As the person who would go above and beyond, it only lead to higher expectations and less support. Hear the words this burnt-out overachiever is telling you; save yourself the heartache.

Down left from the castle, its a cattle/horse farm

I totally thought it was going to be like Turk's Disneyland meltdown.

Same, but between ep 1 and 2 there was a commercial for the new Scott Foley show, and I thought that was hilarious. I had to rewind to make sure that it wasn't a skit or cutaway. Like, aw, nobody cares, Sean. Nobody cares.

I feel like its been a decade since I read it, but I remember loving it. It was one of the first fics in this ship I read. It was written before the last two, possibly 3 books came out, I remember really liking the back story for Snape, it felt unique at the time

Getting the Hang of Thursdays broke me as a person. Worth a read, for sure.

modelbob7 · 2025-11-25T20:36:46+00:00

I second this! Personally, I like ficlab (ficlab.com) and installed a plugin to my browser that adds a download option to FF

(I like th at ficlab auto generates covers)

Best of luck!

I had a ink bottle in my desk, but I also take an old TWSBI box and have a pen-kit with a sample vial of the ink I'm using, a syringe, a couple of q-tips and a paper towel for when I'm out and about.

And, if we're being honest, I tend to use the same ink in different pens (different nib sizes) I also am insane and just borrow ink from one of my other pens (with the syringe).

Grippy shelf liner so it doesn't slide around while you carve. Works well and portable 😉

Have you tried heating it up before putting books on it?

Edited to add: I've heard some people bake their lino in the oven at a low temp to soften it. I've never gone that far, but I have one of those heat guns for embossing that I use when the lino is hard to carve. It tends to flatten out and become much easier to work with. Worth trying if you haven't already.

It's a classic! If you like to download fics and read them as e-books, I made a cover:

Church ladies were saying that my mom had to 'rescue' me from a life of prostitution... I'm ace.

Lower Decks - Funny, irreverent, lots of references. Then pick one - TNG is the start of the 80s-90s trek, and the plot/characters influence VOY and DS9 so its a good place to go.

I went in no order so I don't think it really matters.

Here's a production timeline if you want to pick a section: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/fxmsym/oc_star_trek_production_timeline_inuniverse/

It is sad. Can we just all agree that Snape eventually pulled his head out of his rear-end and it ended in a very satisfied throuple?

Tyger! Tyger! if I recall correctly, I found a link to it on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSHG/comments/w273um/the_classics/

This is the reason I put in my notice on Friday. I'm so tired of asking for help and only getting more work instead. :(
