#187 Rhetorical - Miami Vice - Point of Contention
Mar. 17th, 2026 06:28 ammxcatmoon posting in vocab_drabblesTitle: Point of Contention
Fandom: Miami Vice (TV)
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: G
Words: 358
Characters: Sonny Crockett, Martin Castillo
Summary: Sonny has returned from a fishing trip to discover that in his absence, his partner had been kidnapped, traumatized, and nearly killed by an ex-con turned vigilante that Rico had put behind bars. He is angry and guilty, but Castillo isn't phased.
Notes: Based on the episode, "The Cell Within." This is also part one of a longer story, because the MV muses refuse to color within the lines. The fic will be posted in its entirety on AO3 when finished.

Performing some traffic maintenance today

dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
Hope this Email Finds You (literally, we just hope it finds you)

Looking for Beta-Reader! NCS- Alien Agent has an Identity Crisis
Mar. 8th, 2026 04:22 pmmiscellaneous_section posting in betapleaseFandom: NCS (New Captain Scarlet)
Characters/Pairings: Captain Black|Conrad Lefkon, mentions of Scarlet|Paul and hints of Destiny|Simone. Conrad&Paul, past relationship: Destiny/Conrad.
Rating & Warnings: T (PG/PG-13)
Estimated Fic Length: Currently around 700 words long; will possibly get longer (hopefully not over 5,000 words long)
Notes: I wanted to experiment with using the word it as the character would describe itself as such; trying to separate itself from the identity of a former friend of the protagonist despite having his body and face. The fic is written to be almost like a soliloquy, but it's mainly written in third-person for that word usage.
It would help to have some knowledge of the show and characters I'm writing about, but it's not a requirement to know it like the back of your hand (inside and out; that kind of thing).
I need a second set of eyes for grammar, and seeing if the prose is getting too flowery/repetitious/formal. I feel like I also tend to tell too much rather than showing, and I worry sometimes that the "voice" doesn't sound in character. Also, I feel like something is missing to complete this fic (but what though?).
Either way, I hope I'm not asking for too much, and any help is greatly appreciated! :D

Please do not contact your bidders until you have heard from us! Once your high bidder has donated and we have processed the donation, we will email you to confirm and put you in touch with your bidder. Remember that bidders have until the 18th to make their donations, so this may take a while. We will also be contacting you soon about the possibility of making an offer to your second bidder - please do not contact anyone about this until you hear from us, either.
Everyone:
Although the main auction is closed, plenty of Craft Bazaar stalls are still taking bids/donations! Remember that donation proof for crafts goes directly to the crafter, it cannot be submitted along with your regular auction donations.
