The SSSS Scriptorium

[Róisín]

I have just posted the second to last chapter of ‘Year 3, Very Far to the South’ on Archive of Our Own. This was meant to be the last chapter but it was proving to be overly long so I will put up the rest of it in a few days when I have had a chance to edit it. And sorry to end the chapter on a cliffhanger!

Added a new chapter to Where Lies the Strangling Fruit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31673420/chapters/78388190

Róisín, remember that ending a chapter on a cliffhanger is part of the culture here! 

[Róisín]

Yeah, I suppose it is traditional!

Okay, the chapter of True Ruler I got stuck in the middle of last year is finally done: True Colors.

This is the first real move towards the resolution of that arc, so this holds the risk of being the one revealing the story to not be going where some were hoping it was.

Hello all.

I am new around here: I discovered SSSS just a couple of months ago. It hit me pretty hard, and I was inspired to write fanfic for the first time in many years.

Anyone who looks on Ao3 will probably have seen my works, but here are two links anyway.

Burned Wine, an Emil-focused genfic about the gang hanging out in Iceland: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33061711

Completely Normal, a generic, low-rated Emil/Lalli story also set in Iceland (multichapter, about to be finished): https://archiveofourown.org/works/32818117

And now for the real reason I wanted to post here: I do not have a beta, and this is slowly driving me insane, since I am not used to posting unbetaed content. It's not a question of grammar, since I can self-edit to a degree (even if I do keep finding typos after posting, sigh) but more paranoia over whether what I wrote is in character and makes sense. Would anyone be up for some sort of beta exchange?

Hello tehta and welcome to the Forum! We also have an Introduction Thread on the General board, why don’t you pass by there too? (It’s not mandatory, just fun).

I read the two finished ones, and liked both very much! I did leave kudos too, I’m Jiiri on the Archive. Like you mentioned, On the Edge was not very dissimilar from many other Emilalli stories, in the other hand many of us LOVE Emilalli stories And I liked the way Tuuri was worried for Lalli.

I’m not sure whether I’ll be needing a beta anytime soon, but I’ll be happy to comment your writing if you’d like! I’m not native in English though. Anyways I have a few stories in the Archive and here, take a look and let me know by PM if you’d like my comments

I did not even link On the Edge here as I see it as more of a warm-up exercise for the pairing. I wrote it before reading many of the existing fanfics, and realizing that Adventure One is pretty much fully covered by fanfic writers (as well as being quite wonderful on its own). This is why I am now writing about Iceland. (As a writer, my goal is to write the stories I wish would exist. If they already exist, there is less need to write them...)

Ha, I know your stuff! I have read (and liked) your stories and am pretty sure I have commented on at least one before.

I might ping you then, about the unfinished story you haven't read? I should be done with the final chapter in the next few days, and like I said I don't necessarily need a grammar beta, more just a review of whether the characters/emotions make sense.

[Jitter]

Ok great! Hopefully I’ll find some time to write again too, I actually have an idea for my continuum that I should get cracking on. I was just reading my source material again this week, so maybe the story is stirring again.

Just let me know if or when you need me!

After two months I finally finished a fic I had been working on! I actually posted it to Ao3 last night but forgot to link it here before I went to sleep.

Love Grows in our Garden - A one-shot about Lalli and Emil's married life and how Lalli learns to emotionally connect with their child. (It's rated T/PG-13 because of one scene that implies Things happened, but nothing graphic is written there.)

[Jitter]

Thank you for this, Maple! Lalli being Lalli again

I have another take on how they become fathers, here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27689123/chapters/67762502

The most relevan chapters are 9 and 8 (this is the chronological order)

I am suffering from a bad case of emilallitis right now (main symptom: constant excretion of shippy content).

So, here is a tiny ficlet starring Lalli and Tuuri-bird: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33470776/chapters/83312212
Come for the stupidity, stay for the valuable Swedish vocabulary!

And I almost forgot! With Jitter's valuable help, I was able to finish the last chapter of my longer (and very fluffy) fic, so it's now complete: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32818117
It was so much fun writing both of these weirdos.

Steady on, "excretion"?  XD

[tehta]

In another place I said 'vomiting'. It's some sort of involuntary and not entirely welcome process. (Not entirely welcome because it's not convenient to keep getting stupid fic ideas all the time. Also shipper glasses make it very hard for me to judge my writing objectively, so I never know whether any of it is readable outside the context of my head.)

But maybe I should compare it to hiccups instead.

Anywayyy, here is another one I just posted, in which Sigrun torments Emil with personal questions. (Rated Teen for Sigrun's language and hand gestures): https://archiveofourown.org/works/33594331

As part of my attempts to reach the Safe Zone, I will now link yet another (tiny) story, titled Everybody Lies:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/33470776/chapters/83811517

SURPRISE! There's emilalli in it. But the main reason for the story is to explain why everyone's noses keep growing throughout Adventure Two. Theory: it's all the lying.
