Pinto Princess Teaser

suedescripture:

It’s time for your The Princess Diaries (And Me) Chapter 9 teaser!

The crowds grew into louder cheering and waving when, behind the latest group of marching guards in separate dark blue uniforms and bearskin hats with bayonets, there was a carriage drawn by four matched horses. It carried a pale blonde woman, cool and stoic as she waved to the crowd, the cheering and waving of flags intensifying.

She had to be the Queen, but she was the carriage’s only occupant. Where was the King, and where was Zach?

The carriage rolled by, followed by a single dapple-grey horse. It’s rider was also clothed in the red military jacket and hat with a silly horsehair plume like the rest of the cavalry, but set apart by a royal blue sash covered in medals. Chris’ heart gave a jolt of recognition.

“Zach!” he cried out as the horse trotted past, but the cheering of the crowd and the hard clop of hooves drowned out his voice. “Zach!”

The woman standing next to him suddenly gasped, touching his shoulder, “You are Chris Pine!” She turned to her younger friend, “Det er amerikansk Prins Chris Pine!”

He felt himself flush as more and more people around began to peer at him and point with excitement, some whipping out phones. His first instinct was to duck and run, but he’d come out here with no plan whatsoever, no idea how he thought he was going to see Zach in the first place. What did he expect, to be able to walk right up to a castle and knock on the front door? This might be the only chance he had, the closest he would get, and Zach’s horse was steadily trotting farther and farther away up the broad street. He cupped his hands around his mouth to yell, “Zach!”

“Prins Zachary! Prins Chris!” the women started to chant, and it quickly spread, until the whole crowd took it up. “Prins Zachary, Prins Chris!”

Zach slowed, sidestepping his horse out of the way of another following cavalry regiment and looking quizzically around at the chanting audience as they all pointed him back down the line of barriers. “Prins Chris! Prins Chris!”

He turned in his saddle, a searching look on his face.

“Zach!” Chris called again, and their eyes finally met.

OMG I’m so excited for this!!!  **cheers @suedescripture on madly**

To celebrate the Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day on August 21st, and following this post, here’s what you can do to show your favorite fanfiction writers how grateful you are for their work!

Whether you are just a reader or a writer as well, on August 21st:

  • Go on AO3, FF.net, Wattpad or any other fanfiction website, even Tumblr, and leave comments on your favorite fics. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already reviewed them, just do it again. It doesn’t even have to be a long comment, just show your appreciation. Tell the writers how much you love their fics. Let them know what they mean to you.
  • Since you’re there, give kudos, favorite their fics, vote, like them.
  • Send your favorite writers an encouraging message. Tell them how much you love their work. Tell them which of their fics is your favorite and why. Tell them why they’re important to you.
  • Make a post recommending some of your favorite fics to your followers so that they have a chance to read them as well and share them with others. Spread the word.

Make this a very special day for your favorite writers, but remember to nurture them often. They spend countless hours working on plots, developing characters and creating worlds that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them. And they do it for free, of their own accord and frequently during their free time. It takes hard work and commitment and love for what they’re doing. And they do it for them just as much as they do it for you, so appreciate it.

They give you infinite ways in which your favorite characters find love, go on adventures and get to experience different lives, new challenges. They give you unimaginable versions of your favorite stories that you’ll just never get to see in the official storyline. They give you the opportunity to fall in love with your favorite characters all over again. Be grateful for that and don’t be afraid to express it.

Show your favorite writers how much you appreciate them and you might just make their day. And a writer who knows that their work is loved is a happy writer. Never forget that. Always share your love 🙂

Fic – Pinto BigBang – 2015

It’s done! My submission for this year’s Pinto Big Bang is finally done and posted. Artwork was done by the incredibly wonderful @nostalgia-in-starlight, who perfectly captured the feel of this story. Thank you so much for your amazing work!

Title: Whitecaps
Rating: Mature
Summary:

Zachary Quinto is a homicide detective living in the entirely not-picturesque, but otherwise quiet coastal town of Lithica. When he gets wind of a string of seemingly unrelated deaths occurring along an abandoned, rocky stretch of coastline, he figures this will be like every other investigation. But after five deaths in the span of a single month, and no leads, suspects, or links except for the things that have been taken from the victims, Zach and his partner, Karl, have hit a dead end. But an odd encounter with reclusive local author, Chris Pine, leaves Zach wondering if there might be more to these deaths, and more to Chris pine, than he originally expected. He certainly hadn’t meant to get attached along the way either.

I am posting this again for a very simple reason: BECAUSE THIS PROJECT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME PERSONALLY! (And I am very concerned that the goal will not be met.)

Leonard Nimoy LOVED the fanbase – and that evidence in from decades of being approachable, friendly,…

I donated…your turn now.  Let’s make this happen!  You can donate as little as $1!  It’s for Grandpa Spock’s loving memorial.

Only 5 days left, and they still have a long way to reach their goal.  Not an impossibly long way, but definitely not a I-can-let-other-people-deal-with-this distance.  If you want to see this come to fruition, it probably WON’T without our help.

Update: they just reached $500k.  They have only 4 days left, and another $100K to raise.  Grandpa Spock, guys.

Even if you can’t donate, signal boost this.  It’s not too late, and it would be so cool.

Where is the Fanbase!?
