Sometimes I wonder why I bother making plans, since things so seldom go the way I hope they will, even when I’m working hard to make them. March, in this case, featured a lot of health nonsense, and a number of demands on my time—and, as a result, I wasn’t able to write as often as I wanted to. Despite that, I’m proud of the fact that I managed to mostly stay on-track with my biggest goal during March, and make the days I wasable to write really count.
Total wordcount: 9, 046
Highlights:
- I did, in fact, go back to the novel rewrite the way I’d planned to, writing about 4.3k of it, which was about half of the total words I wrote in March
- I finished the short piece I’d started at the end of February—a Steter birthday piece for asarcasticwitch, which can be found here
- I worked a little on the Hanahaki AU
Plans for April:
- Finish either the Hanahaki AU, or chapter 7 of the Kinky Stargent fic
- Post something in April
- Bang out at least 5k of the novel rewrite

From the publisher’s twitter: TS Porter’s “(don’t you) love a singer” is a rollicking spacefaring tale about a close-knit crew of singing sailors holding their ship together through subspace with the rhythm of their voices.
I am very proud to be a part of the ‘It Gets Even Better: Stories of Queer Possibility’ anthology, with a very sweet and hopeful story. It’s got space shanties and ace lesbians and humans singing their way through danger–all that good stuff! You can find it in print, ebook, and audiobook [here].

Image 2: Purple text on a dark background. “Whenever they could, Kait and Maya would go down to the shipyards and watch the singers disembark from their spaceships, exulting in full-throated song. They were barrel-chested, their voices bigger and stronger than other people’s, their friendships tighter. They laughed and sang and held each other close, and it made Kait’s chest hurt with want to watch them.” (don’t you) love a singer by TS Porter
It Gets Even Better: Stories of Queer Possibility
.
The first time the humans told us they sang their way through subspace, we thought it a translation error.
.
We-the-hive were overjoyed to meet them. Finally, finally, it was proven that we were not alone! And though we already knew that we must not be, given the vastness of time and the multiverse, we also knew that those same vastnesses were against us. Civilizations we could meet are greatly outnumbered by those who came before us and we are too late to meet, those who will come after us and we are too early for, and those so far away that we cannot find them.
A starfaring civilization, like our own, increased the chances of meeting greatly. One of our most distant scientific surveyors sensed a faint and far away disturbance, similar to the waves our own ships make when diving into and out of subspace. An exploratory team was sent to investigate, and there at the furthest reach ever taken from the hive’s center, to our everlasting joy, we found human explorers on the far edges of their own range.
Their ships were strange to us, and their selves even stranger. Translation, and the mutual communication of peaceful intentions, was difficult. Mathematics was the first understanding we were able to share, as the basic principles do not change—though their and our systems of harnessing it are different. Science followed after, as the elements and natural laws are unchanging. So it was discovered that we-the-hive and the humans share the common ground of being carbon-based heterotrophs who consume water to maintain life processes.
These commonalities were far outnumbered by our differences. Yet, the most important thing we had in common was the desire to understand each other. With earnest effort, with forgiveness for unintended insult and misunderstanding, we worked to learn each other’s languages.
Science being an early part of our understanding of each other, we asked them about the construction of their ships. They told us of their material compositions and their subspace engines, different in design but similar in purpose to our own technology—but when we asked them about the shielding and stabilization they used to make the journey survivable, they told us only that they sang their way through.
I have sold a short story from this same universe! “(don’t you) love a singer” is sweet and hope-punky and includes ace lesbians singing their way through danger. If you like one, I think you’ll enjoy the other.

Rating: Teen
The night after meeting his new teammates for the first time Danny had felt that now familiar itch on his arm that meant his soul mark was growing and had just known he was going to be stuck following McGarrett around trying to keep them both alive.
Because if meeting Steve and Kono and Chin was another step closer to finding Danny’s soulmate, he’d have to stick around to see how far they could take him.
