This weekend will be our first writing retreat weekend of 2026, and our 17th total! We have been hosting retreats since 2022.

🌷 Retreats are exclusive to our discord. Over the years, I've tried extending them to include a tumblr community, participation via email, and we even had them running on multiple discords simultaneously at one point (which, as you can imagine, meant a great deal more work to pull them off).

🌷 For 2026, we have returned to our original format. Retreats will run Saturday & Sunday on discord, with a soft opening Friday night (my time) for the general membership. Thursday will be reserved for our server staff, who lose a lot of their own writing time while the retreat is ongoing.

🌷 Retreats are self-paced. Join when you can, for an hour or the whole weekend! Work on anything you like. Just be sure to track your total word count so you can report it! You can work independently or interact with other writers. To keep us connected, we have casual check-ins on Saturday and Sunday. Our coffee break chat is currently on hiatus, but Taurus will be leading a craft chat about editing on Sunday!

Once on the server, go to Channels & Roles and opt into "Writing retreat weekends." The retreat channels will become visible once the retreat starts.

This week's word is...
soft

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off and please stop back later!)

You can also play on bluesky and on tumblr!

This weekend on discord is our first writing retreat weekend of the year! The retreats are lightly structured, self-paced weekends where we come together to log as many words as possible. They're my favorite thing we do. If you're at least 18, you're welcome to join us.

Also on discord, we're currently hosting be kind, rewind!, which runs through the end of May. It brings back six past events: Rise of the Dead Fandoms, Tiny Ship Fleet Fest, Dark & Cozy, Make Me (Crack) Ship It, To Spite You Personally, and Fandom Smash-up!

One of these days I will write the definitive post about Cyrano de Bergerac Syndrome in fandom and it will end all debate about shipping forever probably for sure.

I cannot with these fucking Youtube thinkpieces of "does the internet rot your brain" and "is your lack of local friendships making you a less functional person" and "are impersonal relationships the downfall of society"

I'm glad none of you have been as profoundly lonely as I have, I guess, but I'm pretty sure my online friendships were healthier than your IRL ones before the pandemic, and I was not privileged enough to just sit inside while the world ground to a halt around me.

I'm already seeing posts with all capital letters and H1 titles saying shit like "never reblog something with a comment, keep it in the tags, leave a reply" and I'm afraid Tumblr's internal culture is going to take care of killing any and all interactions on the site.

First they made it so that OPs of posts will yell at me if I leave tags they don't like because they don't know how to turn off tag view in their Activity, and now I'm gonna get a totally different kind of person yelling at me for reblogging with a comment b/c I'm "taking away notes" from OP, and all this time I have replies disabled on my blog because a third kind of person will spend all their time arguing with someone else in my replies.

Kill Tumblr. Let it be over.

I am currently working night shift and the inability to play Beat Saber after work is genuinely making me a little bit stir crazy. Over on Tumblr I commented that I really want to make a mod that makes the song title increasingly gory the more times I've failed to pass a song -- I genuinely feel like that is more achievable than actually passing some of the songs in my queue b/c I feel the rust every time I have a chance to go back to the game.

Maybe I should see if I can struggle the Linux version to work. Then I could play in ten minute increments again and not have to commit to a full play session the way switching OSes requires.
