Forget the rest of the fireworks around the world, these are the best. HNY.
The finale HOLY SHIT!!!
This is actually the first time I was impressed by a firework
For anyone interested, the music is by a composer named Thomas Bergersen, and the piece playing is called Homecoming from his Illusions album. I listen to his music whenever I need to be inspired to write.
I will never get tired of this. The display of technical competence when it comes to not just setting the fireworks off but packing the charges themselves. I love it.

The real life big cat aquatic equivalent of turning the laser pointer off…
That poor duck, just swimming around and then suddenly “shit, fuck, fuck, FUCK!”

Writer meme
I was tagged by @ligeiasand! Thanks for the tag!
ao3 name: SilentAuror
fandoms: Just Sherlock. I’m a one-fandom-at-a-time kind of person!
number of fics: 86 in this fandom, working on #87 as we speak. Closing in on 2.3 million words now. :)
fic i spent the most time on: Hands down, Against the Rest of the World. It took me four solid months to write that beastie, writing literally every single day. The average chapter length is 7,585 words and I posted a new chapter on average every six days. I lived, breathed, and dreamed in that universe for months, finishing it literally two days before the mini-sode Many Happy Returns aired and immediately jossed it with new canon, lol. Doesn’t matter; I got it done!
fic i spent the least amount of time on: I don’t know, honestly. I’ve written some fics in VERY little time. Possibly the most impressive given its length might be Deductions of a Lesser Mind, which I wrote, edited, and had posted within 24 hours of His Last Vow airing. It was my first series 3 fix-it fic and is 25,700 words long. That said, I think my really short ones, like These Four Walls (1,590 words), took me maybe half an hour?
shortest fic: I don’t really do short fics, lol. But one of my few exceptions is Unspoken, written the night before The Sign of Three aired. It’s 1,130 words.
most hits / most kudos / most comment threads / most bookmarks / highest total word count: Most hits: Best of Three: currently at 124,909 hits. Most kudos: Also Best of Three: currently at 5,423 kudos. Most comments: Against the Rest of the World: currently at 1,919 comments. Just comment threads? Also Against the Rest of the World, with 655. Most bookmarks: Best of Three again, currently at 2,284 (1,618 of which are listed as public). Highest word count: Against the Rest of the World, with 151,704 words (20 chapters).
favorite fic i wrote: This is like having a favourite child. There are definitely stories that are closer to my heart… man, out of 86 stories, it’s really hard to say!! Can I choose five? In no particular order (really!), if there were five stories of mine that I always really want people to read, they might be: Against the Rest of the World, The Wisteria Tree, Bridging the Ravine, The Unfinished Letters, and Vena Cava. GAH, now I feel like I just sold out the rest of my stories! (I’m sorry, I love you guys, too!!)
fic i want to rewrite/expand on: I’m a big believer in leaving a finished work alone. That said, I still have vague plans to write a sequel for Isosceles, wherein Sherlock and John go to LA to visit Corey Graham. :)
share a bit of a wip or story idea you’re working on: Hmm… why don’t I just give you the opening bit of my current project?
Interesting, that soldier
fellow. He could be the making of my brother. Or make him worse than
ever.Mycroft purses his lips and moves
the cursor back to the start of the surveillance video, beginning it at the
precise moment where John Watson rushes forward and begins to beat his brother
to a bloody pulp. It’s not the first time he’s watched it. It’s not even the fortieth.
He has every moment of it committed to memory, as he’s been thinking about it
at regular intervals since the day it happened. He watches the scene unfold
again with passive disconnection, then pauses the footage once Watson has
departed, leaving Sherlock in a puddle of his own blood.
He leans back in his
chair and folds his fingers behind his head, frowning in thought. The time has
come to make a decision.
Tagging: All of you who write! I’ve tagged you, so now you have to do it, and say I sent you. Boom.

SLPT: Confuse those wine snobs by *hearing* the wine
so i told my mom about this post before she and my dad went on a trip to napa, and she was delighted to try this out
and apparently, when she straight-faced, lifted her glass of chardonnay to her ear and swirled it, she baffled the other winery-goers so much that they all instinctively did exactly the same thing. that sort of crowd-think, that you aren’t quite sure what’s right but you’ll be damned if you’re mistaken for the plebian that you are
but watching that was enough for my mom to lose her composure, laugh so hard she cried, and spill the entire glass all over herself, in the process getting kicked out of the winery
so long story short do this at your own risk
