threesentenceficathon is still running, but I wrote one (1) fic and one (1) prompt and then stopped. I'm not sure why, writing in general has been going well, but oh well. Here it is.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

The last post of my own fills is back here.threesentenceficathon, although technically it continues to be open for fills.threesentenceficathon has its own community and we've already filled up the first post. Second post open over here!
watsons_woes's July Writing Prompts, I found another annual month-long low-stress short fic prompt fest to participate in.doctornerdington.
to post about Three Sentence Ficathon!be_compromised which started Friday and is still open if you want MCU specifically and Clint&/Natasha more specifically.rthstewart's, from the last couple days:“This is the Island where Dreams come true.”
“That’s the island I’ve been looking for this long time,” said one of the sailors. “I reckon I’d find I was married to Nancy if we landed here.”
“And I’d find Tom alive again,” said another.
We can draw two conclusions from this: 1) There are gay sailors on the Dawn Treader (it’s established earlier that Lucy is the only woman) and 2) C. S. Lewis was not aware of this.
Look at the parallel structure there. “I’d have my wife,” “And I’d have my husband." You can come up with alternative explanations, sure, but this is the most logical.
Lewis did not intend this to be gay. This isn’t representation. But this is evidence for queer relationships being relatively accepted in Narnia. And we can use it as that when reading the books.
What I’m saying, basically, is that something not being intended by the author doesn’t mean it isn’t there. And just because something’s there, or even obviously there to modern/fandom eyes, doesn’t mean it was intended by the author.
And, to some degree, in fandom, that shouldn’t matter. All we have to work with is what’s actually on the page.
