Hey y'all, long time no...anything! I have moved on to so many other social medias, and fandoms, but only one has reminded me that I can, in fact, write fanfic. IDK how or why Encanto got me by the throat but boy did it ever, so here. Have links to what I've been up to. Those of you who remember me from a decade+ ago are going to be shocked by the number of OCs here.

MAIN SERIES: The Madrigal In-Laws, aka Sedaverse
Without question the Madrigals were the most remarkable family in town, but they were not alone: there was the generous and outgoing Martinez clan, the outsider Córdobas, and the proud, refined Guzmáns. The four families form alliances, rivalries, influence one another for better or worse, and - over time - become one.

First Impressions of a Miracle - Agustín's and his hapless parents stumble into a miracle and are absolutely not prepared.

Better Tomorrows - Forty-ish years of a miracle through the eyes of Félix's uncle.

(Mis)calculations - Mariano's abuela has so many judgey opinions about so, so many people.

Final Reflections on a Miracle - The death and life of Agustín's mother.

A Prophet In His Own Land - WIP. Growing up in the close-knit community of the Encanto, Bruno Madrigal is many things to many people: a dutiful and difficult son, a loyal, irritating brother, a shining star, a lurking menace, a dear friend, a familiar mystery, and an object of scorn. Shouldering the burden of all these contradictory roles, he struggles to find his place in both the town and his family.

Talk of the Town - WIP. Pepa's nerves are shot while she's pregnant with Antonio. This gives the rest of the kids a reason to make themselves scarce from Casita, spend time with their other families, and dig up dirt on their parents, Abuela, and that guy they can't talk about. Shenanigans ensue.

Damage Control - When the miracle's twentieth anniversary ends in violence, Félix does his best to smooth things over and make sense of it all. A visit with an old friend leaves him with the usual "more questions than answers".

APOCRYPHA - The same 'verse as above, but post-canon. And gay.

the same boy you've always known - Bruno Madrigal and José Guzmán had grown up together; sometimes they were friends, most times they were rivals, but they always knew their places as the respective only and eldest sons of two prominent families. One day, prompted by a vision of the future, José left the Encanto to become a priest. His return some thirty years later with a fresh group of refugees stirs feelings both long forgotten and never before considered.

Pollination - A new group of refugees has arrived in the Encanto, and Isabela has decided to keep an eye on them. Turns out, one of them already has eyes on her.

Fruition - In which Isabela and Bubo grow closer, and share a Moment.

ONE SHOTS
a slip of the mask - After the death of the Miracle, Julieta realizes she is angry. Her brother makes an easy - but also very complicated - target for that emotion.

A Star Is (Re)born - Modern Celebrity AU. Everyone in the Madrigal family is famous, but historically Bruno has been notorious for all the wrong reasons. When a chance to revitalize his career presents itself, Mirabel encourages him to take it.

Gently - Five times Bruno got squeezed too hard...and one time he didn't mind it.

The Magic of Theater - They don't have Gifts, they don't have a miracle, and they definitely don't have a house, but Camilo soon figures out one thing that can pull his family together: the fact that they're all storytellers at heart.

someone you really love - Pepa realizes there is something different about her, then figures out that "different" does not mean "wrong", and over time passes the lesson on.

As with EVERY SINGLE TIME I do something like this it will fail completely for all the reasons. But anyway, it's a prompt table and I can gawk at it wistfully. Taken from here, I am as usual bowing out of any possible competativeness ahead of time because that frustrates both me and everyone involved. For reasons.

POSSIBLE CANONS: Tin Man (duh), Once Upon A Time (maybe), Doctor Who (even more maybe), The Good Wife (lol no)

Oh look it's a fic!

Title: Unorthodox
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kseda
Characters/Pairing: Glitch/Cain
Rating: PG
Word Count: 201
Summary: In which Glitch waits a whole annual to make his move for once, and Cain is stoic.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] tm_challenge's round 20, which involved using a quote. There were only three entries so we all won. Or something.

Tilte: Hope Eternal
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kseda
Rating: G
Characters: DG, Glitch, and Azkadellia
Summary: In which Glitch's pockets are suspiciously generous, DG is suspiciously well-versed in a variation of quarters, Azkadellia is not-so-suspiciously clever, and the rest of the cast is suspiciously absent. Also there are trees.
Notes: A shortened version was submitted for [livejournal.com profile] tm_challenge's "spring" challenge and won second place \o/


These are very, very precious. )

kseda: (bags packed ready to go)
A few details from my travels which I have either blocked or just...did not want to deal with explaining. My flight down was HORRIBLE, the aisle in front of me, beside me, and behind me was populated by a group of men traveling together, mostly in their twenties but a couple were older.

From practically the time they boarded to the time we got off in Tampa, everything out of these guys' mouths was either sexist, homophobic, generally rude, and peppered with the kind of language you just DO NOT USE outside of your social circle. (It was even more fun once they were served alcohol - note that this was a 9am, two and a half hour flight, and one of these guys ended up with three of those little bottles of Jim Beam.) And not one person said a damn word to them.

Much to my shame, this included me, but I was too paralyzed by fury and disgust to do anything more than glare, and even THAT was difficult because I did not want to look at them. Never in my life have I been so happy to get off an airplane.

Then on the way home I was treated to the TSA's fun new "pat-down" NOTE: link contains description of humiliating nearly-public groinal investigation, so click at your own risk. Same goes for the cut, where I'm going over my experience which also involves a boob check. Also tl;dr. )

FINAL NOTE: according to the ACLU they've made this process so horrible because it's the only alternative to the scanner thing. So your choices are either shut up and have your naked picture taken or prepare to be groped. I was lucky enough to experience both. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH.

And I'm leaving this public in case you want to pass it around.

(My flight home was much nicer, there was Direct TV so I finally got to see The Pandorica Opens and an empty seat between me and the guy on the aisle. I got him to give me a fist-bump to celebrate our good fortune.)
kseda: (tin man - glitch (glee))
Tin Man fic, as usual. May's June by [livejournal.com profile] lionille. Post-series, gen, with Glitch and the rest of the gang and a lovely OC. I cried, just...go read enjoy!

In other news I am going on a cruise with my mother at the end of October. Wish me luck.

See...

How it works is I decide that people are done with me. Something happens, there's some breakdown in communication, and I immediately think it's me, that I've been too weird or too out of touch or too SOMETHING and that someone wants to cut me out.

So I save them the trouble and cut them out. This hurts them and gives them an excuse to dump me. Mission accomplished, self-fulfilling prophecy, everyone goes home miserable.

Why? I dunno. I'm just fucked up like that. And I am never going to stop saying how sorry I am.
kseda: (tin man - glitch/cain (cynacism/optimism)
I keep feeling like I need to explain things, AHEM. Early in my fic-writing career I decided what Tin Man fandom REALLY needed was a fake TV show cop-drama AU in Topeka. Then I went and made a fake TV Tropes entry on my vanity fic-verse journal. Hilariously no one discouraged any of this. It would basically be Glitch/Cain/angst, Raw/DG/adorkability, and Az/Airofday/hotness, and for a while it was all of these things and amazing. Aaaand then I forgot how to write.

Anyway. With all this Prop 8 stuff going on (despite this evening's update), I feel the need for some horrible, sappy, cliche stuff that I HAD promised myself I would never, ever write. This is season six or seven and is fraught with my own wishful thinking of where we'll be in a few years. I give you The (Very Brief) Bit With The Proposal.

'What the hell's in Iowa? Besides more corn.' )
kseda: (obama - sunflower wat)
So President Obama is not going to be at Arlington on Memorial Day, instead he will be visiting another veteran's cemetery in Illinois. He is going to be in Illinois because he and his family are going back to Chicago for the first time since February 2009. Vice President Biden will be handling ceremonies at Arlington in his stead.

This is apparently a horrible, horrible thing and further proof that Obama hates America and especially our troops. Or something. Unsurprisingly, I don't buy it.

Behold counterarguments! )

In conclusion, have a Snopes article debunking a lot of this, and as we all know Snopes is the most trusted name on the internet. FACT IT.

"God, I hate this. This tone in my voice? I dislike it more than you do, and I'm closer to it!" - Anya

I've forgotten what fun is. This is perfectly clear an obvious. SO: in an attempt to remedy that I will mindfully reflect upon a bit of epic fun, this being Have Your Cake (And Be Eaten By It, Too), this being a fanfic I wrote in roughly twelve hours (an amazing record for me). Below, I give you ~*~the DVD commentary~*~, but first:

This is a happy funshine no-horrible-fallout post-series Tin Man 'verse. Our story begins some time after the eclipse and everyone is cheerfully living in The Palace, possibly at Finaqua. Glitch (who is the queen's brother this time) and Cain are totally gay married, DG loves being a princess, Az was blamed for nothing, Jeb and Raw are clingy, and everyone else is just amazingly contented.

And then Glitch bakes a Cake. Horrors ensue. )

That was entertaining.
kseda: (peacock feather)
...is this real life?

Title: Out Of Bonds 2/2
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kseda
Summary: Being an account of events regarding the royal family of the Outer Zone, by Prince Consort Ahamo (known to some as Jacob Williamson). THIS PART: poor planning and execution, and wait until you see the plot!
Word Count: ~1,950, covering ten prompts (myth - symbol + author's choicex2)
Rating: ...I don't even know any more. PG-13?
Cast: Ahamo, Ambrose, Lavendel, Azkadellia, DG, Vy'Soriat Kheel, Zane Bryce, Phil, Zero (probably), Airofday, Wyatt and Jeb Cain, Raw, Glitch, and special guest Guinevere the Peacock. None of those people are OCs (except for Guinevere)
Notes: Peacock 'verse, aka the royal threesome. Column A of [livejournal.com profile] tm_challenge's seasonal prompt table. Yes I am aware that it is April. WARNINGS: canon! Also unbeta'd because betas are for real writers and I am still and always a hack. Also the longest header ever why are you still reading this.

Part 1

The Realm of the Unwanted was the ugly love-child of Sodom and Switzerland. )
kseda: (walk in the garden)
I keep feeling like I need to filter this stuff, for so many reasons. Compared to the unimaginable horror happening right now in Haiti, I feel guilty for focusing so much of my attention on these proceedings. Even if that weren't going on I'd be hesitant to post about it because I just...don't really do a lot of serious discussion here.

Plus I know I'm offending/annoying/cluttering the flist for a few of you, and for a number of you I am preaching to the choir. These are the things I worry about. But I also feel passionately about the subject of LGBT equality so...yeah.

I've been following Courage Campaign's Prop 8 Trial Tracker and the coverage on Firedog Lake, both of which have been offering fantastic and insightful blog entries along with invaluable transcripts of the proceedings. These transcripts are all we have to go by, as so far the defense has been successful in preventing video coverage of the trial. It is up to the internet to spread the word and try and encourage the discourse which should be happening in a public forum, instead of (ironically) keeping it in the closet.

Choice Reading:
* The "Private Hell" of An Inauthentic Life by Teddy Partridge, which discusses the day-to-day impact of concealing one's orientation. I'm closeted at work, so it strikes close to home.
* Homophobia on Trial, at long, long last.
* Legal Experts Weigh In On the Supreme Court Banning Cameras and What Do They Have To Hide?, both of which discuss the broadcast muzzle. Personally I find it appalling that we got endless coverage of OJ Simpson but now we suddenly can't put clips of a civil rights trial on YouTube.
* "Mommy, When I Grow Up Can I Get Domestic Partnered?" - and my love for Teddy Partridge grows: "Not only might your schoolmates mock you and your family reject you, but forget about all those dreams of living happily ever after. That’s not for you people."

...screw it, I'm not even cutting this. I've done enough scrolling in my LJ life, time for someone else to do it.

Yanked from Zarah and Sammo. Yeah, I'm going through the archives so there'll be the old folks here.

Disclaimer: Not mine, not now, not ever.
Note: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] tm_challenge prompt of "Finaqua."

'How's the water?' )
kseda: (tin man - glitch/cain (one spark))
EDIT: I just realized that "From Out Of Nowhere" is officially my lame-ass fic of a gazillion super-short chapters which only exists for purposes of implausible porn. Plus it's written all out of order. I am one of Those Writers, aren't I?

I started this...ages and ages ago, to give some background for how the whole roadtrip thing happened. Since I'm feeling reflective it might be a good idea to try and hash it out.

Also I've finally decided that I need to skew the timeline a bit. The whole From Out Of Nowhere 'verse takes place in 2008, so for purposes of not cutting everything TOO close I'm putting the events of the mini in the spring of 2007. Because I can.
