A Few Updates
So, the small update - Chapters 25 and 26 are now uploaded to AO3! The link to 25 is below:
The bigger update is less an "update" and more "catching you all up." The gist is pretty straight-forward, all things considered - Light's Falle (LF for short) has its first book halfway updated to AO3. This was a project that started some time before I set up Tumblr, so there's some lag between where we are *now* and where this all kicked off. For convenience, I'm going to repost the link to the first chapter here, but all of this is also saved on the Compendium:
Here's the thing, though: Book 1 *is done.* I've walked it through the process as best as I can, which is why it's being released. I have a .pdf waiting in the wings with the whole story in one place that will be released once LF1 is fully uploaded. LF2 is fully drafted, but it's going to take a few months to edit it into a release state. LF3, though, is going to take a while. I want to spend some time doing research for it, just to help build out where the adventure is going. I'll be talking about it more here, I'm sure.
tl;dr: Book 1 is done and being uploaded, Book 2 is being edited, and Book 3 is in the research phase!
Support the BBC for having a trans character in recent episodes of 'Doctor Who'
Apparently the BBC (UK) has had 144 complaints about a recent episode of Doctor Who because it contained an openly trans character.
I've made a complaint to the BBC that there weren't enough transgender characters in Doctor Who. I would love if 144 other people did the same thing. Here's the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/make-a-complaint/#/Complaint
(For your easy reference: "The Star Beast" aired on 25/11/2023 on BBC One, and the trans character is called Rose.)
Please note that the complaint form asks for your UK postcode, so only UK folks can join in with this - but if you suspect you might have any UK-based followers, maybe give us a reblog to boost the signal?
Reply when you've done it, so I can keep track of us!
Here's my complaint:

Select the best category to describe your complaint: Bias
What is the subject of your complaint? Not enough trans people.
Please enter your complaint, and please don’t add personal details such as your name, email or phone number in this field – we’ll ask you for those at the next stage.
Textbox: I am upset because Doctor Who only two transgender characters - Rose (Donna's daughter) and the Doctor. I think Doctor Who would be way better if there were more trans people in it. If we assume the Doctor is genderfluid kinda, and Rose is a trans woman, there should at least be a trans man in there somewhere!
Anyway, thank you for adding some trans representation, I appreciate it, and I'm sorry to hear you had complaints about Doctor Who being "too woke". Trans people are all over the shop in real life, it only makes sense to have them on TV every now and again too.
Take care, [remaining text not visible]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/72bd09fa0ef4ec833a0026e8f15b6b0d/c03b55b2c6f98773-f2/s500x750/e076e6120989197ba02c7962ee23464c5606f194.png)
I recommend:
Avoid sarcasm or irony. Assume your post will be taken literally. If you are clearly joking or being mean you will be ignored or misunderstood.
Include some gratitude/appreciation. It's pretty great that they included a trans woman in a positive way, and they should know that they have explicit support for that.
Chapters 31 and 32 are now online!
Exciting, isn't it? Only two more days..!
You got a Haruka! ✨
