1. Whumptober's prompt lists are out!
2. Thought this piece of SF found-fic posted to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
rainbowfic lately was so clever and funny.
3. I don't think I've mentioned this (along with all the other watching/reading posts I've not been making) but I actually started a watch-all-the-Austens project last year. By dint of what fell into my hands and won't really won't, not at prices I'm willing to pay, I've actually done all the available Emmas & got to the two 1996s recently (last year did 1972, 2009 (♥) & 2020), although I haven't rewatched Clueless - I'll have to keep an eye on the charity shop offerings, just to be completist now. But, certainly, compared to most of the others, it was a five cakes situation, honestly - six, given Clueless, and I thought this vid was really well done and highlighted that in a fun way (even if they watched a slightly different five cakes to me - I don't do those kind of web series, though, so I'm not going that far):
(Am being slightly better at keeping up even! We'll see how it goes... Thank you for your continued patience. ♥)

S&S, which I haven't watched yet, but the 1980 P&P and the 1971 S&S are just not available for any realistic prices online (a lot of older releases are like this). I think there's an older Persuasion, but tbh, I haven't really tried for that one, so I don't know whether it's the same case or not. I think you'd have to be very lucky to fall over those in a charity shop, but no harm in looking out, if you're kind enough to offer! ♥

I've seen older movies on the table sometimes, even B&W ones, so it'll be worth my while to check when passing the tables!
