90% public, 10% friends only


I'm polyfanamourous: An incredibly long but now rather outdated list of my fandoms is here ; particular past and current favourites include The Borgias, Da Vinci's Demons, Firefly, Legend of the Seeker, Revenge, V (2009), early Black Sails, The Orville, Deception (2018), Blood & Treasure.

All of my fanworks and most of my entries, including some original fic pieces are public. F-locked are more personal posts, and occasional discussions on things such as sexuality, as well as some original fic pieces.

My interests include reading, television and film, fanfiction, mythology and folklore, wine, walking, pets, digital photography, and I dabble in various crafts. I believe my bodily autonomy is paramount. I'm neither left nor right now, instead feeling more libertarian/pro-freedom than authoritarianism.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.” C S Lewis

Thinking ahead to next year. I've signed up to GYWO of course.
The Fannish 50 is running again but I didn't go great with it previously. I might pick it up again on my terms.

smallhobbit has come up with 26 photos for the year which a lovely way to record the year and post regularly and in this post has an impressive list of courses completed. I've checked out the free courses and identified a couple of Open University ones that looked interesting. My new job has a subscription to National College and are keen for me to do some sort of Continuing Professional Development next year, so at some point I guess I'm be learning something in a structured way :)

I would like to finish the 100 prompts LiveJournal table, started a lifetime ago. And make in-roads on the 100 fandoms. I might ask for help with encouragement/brainstorming for the LJ table. And of course more crafting. Nephew loved the sheep bauble I made for his grandparents that he wants one for his March birthday so that's on the list.

Best wishes as we approach 2026!

From kitarella_imagines, this is a fiction meme, First and Last Line game.

Take your last 5* fanfics and copy their first and last lines. We have to guess what the story is about!
*you can go back as far as you like to find fanfics where it's not obvious what's happened.

Seen via kitarella_imagines a January art and comment bingo-styledfest

Link here: https://fanartfrenzy.tumblr.com/post/799939912764997632/introducing-fanart-frenzy

"Fanart Frenzy is a month-long bingo event designed to bring a wave of fanfiction-inspired fanart into the community, entirely free and unsolicited, as fandom is supposed to be, in order to stem the flow of these scammers, encourage our favorite fic writers, and liven up our fandoms. This event is anti-AI - real, human-made art only! Our first event will take place from January 1-31, 2026."

After visiting that page and using the sign up link you'll be in the queue for a bingo card.
"Then throughout January, you can make as few or as many pieces of art as you like - you can aim for a bingo, a blackout, or just pick one fic you really want to make art for. This event is about all kinds of art, not just traditional art - everything from playlists to gif sets to cookies to fiber arts, memes, and more. Anything artistic you can do inspired by a fanfic is perfect for this event.

If you don’t enjoy making art, the event also includes a Comment Challenge! During sign up, you can choose a bingo card with only art-related prompts, only commenting-related prompts, or a mix of the two. Non-artists can participate alongside artists by following the prompts to find fics in their fandoms in need of thoughtful, kind comments. (Ex. Leave a comment on a fic you’ve reread.)

You can also help us out by spreading the word! Please tell your friends and fandom communities about our event!"

I got this meme from flareonfury with details in this post

"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.

2) Italicize those you intend to read.

3) Underline the books you LOVE."

I bolded titles where I was sure I read them. I bolded numbers where I've read part of the book/book series. I did not bother to underline any. There are a couple of repeats (The Complete Works of Shakespeare but also Hamlet for example) and some odd omissions I think.

The list is included in a textbox in case you want to play

Morning everyone. A wet autumnal day this morning for me.
I'm able to read my inbox and I've posted to a community and my journal so fa. But I'm having trouble replying to messages and comments. A Dreamwidth glitch? Hopefully this will be resolved soon!
update: while slow things do seem to be going through eventually. Plus I can't log into https://ellipsus.com/ with it returning an internal server error.
