Hi I'm AlmostG & I write Dunefics. I'm all about Paul/Duncan right now but later who knows?
I also enjoy & may blog about books, history, comedy & art. If it's romantic, spooky, grandiose & generally OTT I am in!

that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?
"squick free" someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.
I read it and am extremely squicked.
You do not know what squicks other people. "Squick" is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.
Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.
Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can't guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.
No no, actually there's a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers do it successfully every day!
Here.
Blank documents squick me out because they remind me of all my unstarted writing projects. :/

Being in fandom has been such an affirming experience for me. Because fan-fiction has always been associated with teenage girls in pop-culture. But interacting with people who are adults in fandom-unabashed and enjoying themselves-makes me so hopeful.
I say never change, fan girls ❤️

We have 1 more week of writer sign ups for the 2024 Dune Mini Bang and so I bring you another Mini Bang Rec List!
Dune Mini Bang 2023 Collection
Delicate Times by Ashen_Onion
In 10190 A.G., a new crop of Bene Gesserit students was dropped into the claws of the Sisterhood at a remote chapterhouse. One new initiate is the tiny fourteen-year-old Maryam Atreides, eldest daughter of Duke Leto by concubine and future mother of the Kwisatz Haderach. Her arrival begins to warp both the faculty and student body with plots, intrigues, and nostalgia. And less than a week later, she is put in detention for fistfighting another student over a "matter of honor," as befits her father's daughter. (AU where Jessica didn't have a son. Standalone prequel novella to my fic Of Mind-Killers and Little-Deaths.) Rated T OFCxOFC
The Guide by Chocobun
The Atreides tribe is a community of hunter-gatherers who live in the Paleolithic period. Paul is the son of the Chief, meant to one day succeed his father, while also training to one day replace his mother as the Ethereal Guide of their people. The extraordinary position he was put in causes him to struggle with the feeling of inadequacy, as well question his gender and sexuality. A strong and handsome warrior with mysterious past, named Duncan, doesn't exactly make the struggle easier. Rated E Duncan/Paul
Paul finds the girl from his dreams trapped in an Atreides prison. Rated T Chani/Paul
During Muad'Dib's Jihad, Stilgar's favorite wife Harah must watch her sons go to a war for which she harbors great doubt. Harah must navigate her heresy carefully around her fanatical husband as she tries to protect her family. Rated T Harah/Stilgar
Smugglers of Dune by Predictable_Backstory
During the reign of Alia Atreides, two smugglers arrive on Arrakis seeking fortune. Bonded by enterprise, this unlikely duo grows to rely on one another in the deep desert, as the winding paths of fate bring them face-to-face with their pasts. Rated T
During an idyllic honeymoon on Caladan, Gurney Halleck comes face to face with his past. Rated E Chani/Gurney
When Duncan first visited the Fremen on Arrakis, he met Chani Kynes. Meanwhile, Duncan's beloved Paul has been dreaming about a girl among the Fremen. What if Paul finds out what happened between Duncan and Chani in Sietch Tabr? Rated E Chani/Duncan/Paul
Thanks for the rec! ❤️
