Day three of @podcastgirlsweek :

WIP Wednesday! We all have art/fic/ meta we’ve been meaning to get to. This is your day to finally commit (as long as your WIP is about podcast women, of course.)

Opened up one of my AU planning documents for this, so: introducing (on my blog, at least) @the-zenith-calls’ and my part-crack, part-fix-it, part genuine means of character analysis crossover AU! Possibly the worst way to introduce it, as this doesn’t include any of the characters that actually make it a crossover, but it does mark a significant scene for the B-Plot.

(Luckily for me though, Lia has a more proper post about it! Go look at their art, it’s literally so so cool and I love it so much!)

Summary: Georgie had been expecting a fairly peaceful evening, but unfortunately for her, Melanie’s post-work gossip session quickly turns into what feels a bit too much like an interrogation from one of their local vessels of horror.

Digital crayon drawing of Sally from ars Paradoxica from the waist up, holding her cat Archie with one hand. Sally has pale skin, auburn hair in a low bun, and is wearing a pale green sleeveless blouse. She is looking at the viewer with a bemused expression and with the hand not holding Archie she is pointing at him. Archie is an orange and white cat looking at Sally's pointed finger curiously.ALT

Day 3 of Podcast Girls Week: Angst or Fluff. Pick your poison.

I.M.O.G.E.N. helping Hartro with important presentation as any AI definitely would

Hartro took a deep breath. She had to do a vey important presentation in front of Managers Committee and her preparations weren’t going as good as she wanted. Durek, one of her supervisors, told her recently that even though her 3D designs and creative drawn boards are very unique, it’s not necessarily what Managers Committee might want to see. So she decided to try and do simple digital presentation. Of course it wasn’t going as smoothly as she hoped and now she had barely started presentation and only few more hours to finish it.

“Everything is going to be alright.” She muttered to herself trying not to fall into despair.

She saw out of the corner of her eye her art supplies. Oh, she could see in her mind the colourful board she could make for this occasion. She could even use colour changing glitter she haven’t had chance to use yet.

A double-drabble for @podcastgirlsweek day 3: Fluff or Angst. (I chose angst)

———

“InCo,” Ilara rumbled, amused.  “Welcome once again to Gnorria.  I hoped the teasing last time did not drive you away for good.  Even though it is quite the insult to accidentally call my home a sexually transmitted disease.”

“It sounds similar in my language, okay,” Nova said.  “You can call my home whatever you want, fuck if I care.  I’m here to buy, or sell if you’re feeling spicy, so let’s get it over with.”

“Tetchy today, InCo.  Where is Alula?  You’re always in a much better mood when she’s here.”

She should have replied, calm and flippant, You paying for that information?  She didn’t.  Instead her hands became fists so tight her nails left angry crescents in her palms, and she snapped, “Do not ask about Alula.”  Nova hated how thin, how strained her voice sounded.

Ilara was quiet at that.  Nova had never been too gracious a guest, one of her many faults, but she usually didn’t tremble and snap like this.  She hated it.  Hated herself.  Hated everything.

“Did Alula-” Ilara finally began to ask.

“I said,” Nova hissed, “I don’t want to talk about Alula.”

“Are you—“

“Yes.”

Ilara nodded. “I will be efficient, then.”

“Thanks.”
