[ SECRET SUBMISSIONS POST #1020 ]

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

TwistedChick wrote a great takedown of the Washington Post's reporting on supposed proof of life for Mitch McConnell.

She notes that he may be dead or in a coma.

Because I am me, I think he's probably back in time. He'd get on remarkably well with Gene Hunt.

1st chapter: the drabble in Spanish. 2nd chapter: the drabble in English.

Discúlpenme, el único icono que tengo de una lesbiana latina es Renée Montoya, quien es dominicana, no mexicana. Y Renée no es una monja tampoco.

I saw

sanguinity's post about reading Mexican history, remembered I'd written this in 2003, and discovered it wasn't on the AO3 yet. Now it is!

*

Deep thoughts about tagging: if Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader includes a title, should Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz be Sor Juana at all times? How about if someone writes Santa Teresa de Ávila/Jesús? (Couldn't be me.)

*

If you read my drabble and it makes you want to read more fanfiction about antique Spanish-language sources, I cannot but commend Dellos Otros Enxiemplos del Conde Lucanor et de Patronio (also available in modern Spanish and in English), which is m/m slash of didactic stories from Castilla from the 14th century. I received it for Yuletide in 2013 and I will treasure it always.

Hello all, I'm trying to find specific vocabulary for staircases. I'm looking at an interior staircase in a Georgian home (but the stair itself might be later.) The thing that strikes me as distinctive is that it surrounds a hall on three sides, having one landing that runs along an exterior wall. I love the look of it, and I'm trying to find vocabulary more specific than risers, balustrades, landings, which is what I tend to get when looking for glossaries.

Is there anyone here who knows enough about betting on casino table games to help me work out a few things for my novel? Table games please, not slots. Sitting at a machine stuffing coins isn't that interesting in prose and doesn't provide much room for interaction.

One scenario is that he loses big and blames another player for it. Or something else happens which is plausible for a casino and makes him mad but doesn't involve the gambling directly. I have no experience. It doesn't have to be justified anger, he's hair trigger. My one idea is that another player scatters his chips, but I'm not sold on that. Spilling drinks happens in a hotel bar five chapters earlier.

The other scenario is that someone is intentionally egging him on to bet badly. This isn't necessary, just a slightly wicked idea. It would be a later scene.

He favours simpler games as he's always drunk & high. From what I've been able to find, roulette might be the best - simple mechanism but a complex set of betting options. I could pick and choose from pages about the game but I have no idea how the flow of it might go and it would be cool to write the scene around a plausibly realistic sequence of bets. The other players know what they're doing and how to play the odds.

If you can suggest something around another simple table game, please do. I'm not attached to roulette - his eyes can go blurry watching it go round and round another time. Poker is probably too complicated, blackjack is easy and I use that for a scene where there's little detail about the gambling.

Thanks for any help.

Why this piece is awesome: This is the fight scene from "Amok Time" in cross stitch, complete with shadows and highlights and the slash across Jim's shirt. I can't imagine how many hours this took!

Although it was a setback for physics, I'm glad the particle naming rights issue led to the cancelation of Pizza Hut's Superconducting Super Collider in the early 90s, so the Double Stuffed Extra Cheese Topping Quark ended up just being named 'top quark.'
