Where to Find Goddess47
I'm Goddess47 -- on all platforms -- and I'm a writer of fan fiction in a handful of fandoms.
I can be found on:
- Archive of Our Own (my current fic get posted here)
- Live Journal (has my older fic, being very, very slowly moved to AO3)
- DreamWidth
- Insane Journal (mostly Harry Potter fic; not recently updated)
- Tumblr (more for lurking than creating content)
- Discord (more lurking than anything; I'm not a live-chat person)
My Username
The username 'goddess47' is a combination of hubris and my math background.
One of the folk I worked with taught some computer classes where we both worked and he was explaining to his class that I was the 'goddess' that fixed some problem that had been going on for a short time. A couple of students then sent me an email to 'thank the computer goddess' that made their lives better.
The 47 is more complex. For many the answer to the question is:42, but using that wasn't quite what I was looking for. However, 47 is a prime number and therefore was more mathematically interesting. If someone does point out that the answer is 42, my answer is that 'I have adjusted for inflation.'
Fandoms
My major fandoms and the pairings I tend to write in each are:
- Stargate: Atlantis - John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
- Stargate SG-1 - Jack O'Neill/Samantha Carter, Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson
- Harry Potter - Harry Potter/Severus Snape, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
- Teen Wolf - Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski/Peter Hale, Stiles Stilinski/Peter Hale/Chris Argent
- 9-1-1 - Evan 'Buck' Buckley/Eddie Diaz
I've written a few fic in: Check Please, Shadowhunters and Person of Interest
I primarily write slash and gen fic; I do like to write happy endings.
Updated Goals
My goal for 2020 were initially to write 150,000 words in fic, which is seriously more than I've ever written. As of May 2020, I'm backing that down to 75,000, which were part of my 2019 goals. However, due to some good luck (and good friends), I wrote over 170K in 2020!
The current goal (as of Feb 2021) for 2021 is to try for that 150,000 words right out of the gate!
I've outlined a huge Harry Potter fic (that may or may not see daylight), and have signed up for too many fests for 2021. As of June 2022, that Harry Potter fic is still a WIP; it has what I consider a flaw that can be fixed but I haven't had time to get back to it.
For 2022, I'm working on 150K words. As of June, I'm kind of on track. But I have vacations planned for October and November that will impact what I normally can do at that time of the year. I'll see how it goes.
Wish me luck!
