Some more fannish things

[thisbluespirit]

1. intoabar is open for sign-ups! I need to contemplate who to send into the bar this year - always the tricky bit!

Anyway, it is a great long-running fest where you sign up with a chosen character from one fandom plus a selection of 1-6 other fandoms, and then the mod(s) randomise you a character from one of those fandoms for your character to meet in the bar or bar-equivalent. Hopefully I will make the deadline this year for a change, but I usually manage to do it in amnesty if not, and it's too much of a favourite for me to miss it.

I need to decide whether or not to do what I did last year with particular-character-from-tiny-fandom + my regular fandoms as potential crossovers, OR choose a character from one of the regular go-anywhere fandoms and some smaller fandoms, which I have narrowed down to "fandoms I haven't already used for 51pluscrossoverfandoms" because that seems like a sensible plan. I'm leaning to the second at the moment, in which case I miiight do Fifteen, but I'll swear to nothing until the day that sign-ups close.


2. tardis_remix went live yesterday with 10 works, and I've very much enjoyed what I've read so far. I haven't quite finished yet.

romanajo123 did a fun little remix one of my old meme ficlets, even though I didn't write anything myself (which I am a little sad about; I adore a Remix, but it was not realistic this time around):

3. edwardianspinsteraunt has also written another lovely The Winslow Boy fic, so it has been a good weekend for nice fannish reading!

Have a great time!

Thank you! intoabar remains a favourite fest - I've always had a lot of fun with it and people have come up with some truly delightful and unexpected combinations over the years.

I've always loved intoabar but I'm just not sure about signing up for it this year. I know there's no penalty for not completing it but I'm not comfortable signing up unless I'm very certain I'll do it.

That's fair enough. You do whatever you need to! <3

A good fic week!

It's nice to cross a bingo square off if the bunnies come:)

Honestly, it all happened in a burst of fic over the weekend!

It is. I mean, I HAD to write it, the Bingo square made me!
