For All Mankind (1.06 "Home Again") Wrenn Schmidt as Margo Madison

Yes. An absolutely normal amount. Truly the eponymous backbone of my Margo and Sergei playlist.

Have listened to this a normal amount today

Being a writer is just 97% googling words to make sure they mean exactly what you always assumed they meant.

FOR ALL MANKIND — 2x06 ‘Best-Laid Plans’

Heartbreaking: Scene I wrote in my head while in shower turns out to be 98% less cool when I actually write it down.

Seven sentence Sunday 

Thanks to @allatariel for tagging me! (And for the adorable fic snippet.) It is very definitely no longer Sunday, but anyhow. 

This is from a fic idea that’s been rolling around in my head for a year or so at this point. 😬 (Also fun fact the first outline of this had about eight elevator scenes.)

Anyway, here’s wonderwall the Houston ‘83 awkward airplane tarmac handshake line, except as the Moscow ‘74 awkward airplane tarmac handshake line:

The line seems to stretch stonily, noiselessly on, and Margo feels herself start to despair a little. A step to her left, as she wonders whether to introduce herself yet again. It could be pure desperation that has her imagining this man’s gaze is more encouraging, or it could be true. She offers her hand. “Margo Madison.” “Sergei Orestovich Nikulov,” he says immediately, takes her hand firmly, though much more gently than the guy before him. Margo’s so grateful to hear someone other than herself say something that she could practically kiss him.

Write fanfic for yourself.

Publish fanfic for the rotation of 3-6 people who are devoted readers and will either go feral or leave you very nice words and yell with you about it.

A fandom friend once used the phrase ‘my canon’, and I have adopted it.

It may not be the canon, but it’s my canon, and no one can stop me!
