I'm writing a story for a friend, commission stuff. It's called "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and everything's going well. I've been writing nonstop for a few days. So far, we have nine chapters published.

FYI: This story takes place in 2026.

Author's Note: There are some things I need to explain here. This is my wheelhouse. I go for infusion therapy every 28 days and I know a lot about medical stuff due to my own chronic illness. I have Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune disease. This story will contain subjects that I'm well-versed in. I had the idea for this story the other day and my girlfriend convinced me to write it. Enjoy the ride.

Nicola needs to get a treatment done, still dealing with the side effects of suffering from influenza after recovering, and she finds a familiar face is in the office with her. She never expected to see him again. It's been years since she was torturing herself daily in government. Everything comes to standstill.

I've been a writing machine. I love getting paid for writing fanfiction. It's literally awesome, to be honest. I'm working on a commission for a friend, something for The Thick of It. It's post-series and features Malcolm and Nicola, among others. We're at 8112 words in just two days, and we're 6 chapters in now. Everything's going well.

The post for it is down below in the thread.

#PennedPossibilities 963 — If you use a pen name or certain username on a writing site, what is its significance and how did you arrive at using it?

My username, pen name, or the nom-de-plume I use online is agoodtuckering. ā€œA good Tuckeringā€ has to do with Malcolm Tucker and is in reference to his furious rants. He’s a character that I love writing and have actually written stories for for a long time now. I’m a big Peter Capaldi fan. The username stuck, and I use it for my Tumblr and Archive of Our Own accounts. That’s what everyone knows me by these days, that and floofpaldi as well over on Discord, Fluxer, and here on Mastodon. Again, like I said, Capaldi fan here. It just fit for the communities I was and am in. It means floofy-haired (or fluffy-haired) Capaldi. I thought it was cute, to be fair.

Chris Addison On His New Show ā€˜Tall Tales & Murder’ & Why ā€˜Veep’ And ā€˜The Thick Of It’ Wouldn’t Work Today: ā€œOur Relationship To Politics Has Fundamentally Changedā€

The Emmy-winning director delved deep into his BBC-RTE comedy thriller 'Tall Tales & Murder', which Avalon is selling.

Deadline

I watch the same TV show every week and it has a 95% approval rating

in the loop (2009) - iannucci

i felt like a cheater because i never finished the thick of it (and i really should). also, peter capaldi's accent is a bit difficult for me to follow. there is astronomical amounts of cursing----and most of the americans cast in this film ended up in Veep----which imo is one of the funniest shows ever made.

maybe i'll finish the show one day and rewatch the movie. who knows

I'm still working on my "Twelve Days of Prompts" Series. You might like this one, @CodexArcene. I know I need to finish the series. We have a Twissy story ready to go for the twelfth prompt... How appropriate. For today we have a TTOI story. A bit of Malcolm Tucker and Sam Cassidy is always needed. 🄹

The Author's Note for the story explains everything post-series.

It's the end of a long day at Off The Table, and Malcolm has had just about all that he can take. He and Sam have a heart-to-heart conversation that changes everything for them.

(This is Part 11 of the Twelve Days of Prompts Series.)
