Fannish Things

[thisbluespirit]

1. Yuletide noms closed this morning - next up comes the fun! The full tag set, letters appearing, making requests! \o/

(And guess what? I nommed the 1968 TV Dracula as my third fandom. Just as I was about to repent my folly, some nonnie commented on the fandom promotion thread to say that they liked the look of it and that was all the encouragement I needed. So I will have three impossible fandoms on my request list. /sheepish)

But here we go again, folks! *bounces*


2. het_reccers is having an anniversary Trope Bingo, so I requested a card, because that should make me, you know, actually rec something during the month.

It's like a big square the sort of fics I would go out of my way to avoid, though. I think there's one possible bingo in there, but I shall just go for any squares for which I can find het fics I like - I don't especially want a prize, just something to make me rec! So, I think it should work.



If you're not scared off by that, you too could have a card here!


3. I made a post to one of my comms - dw_allsorts (the Doctor Who mini-table prompt comm*) asking for suggestions for prompt tables. I wondered if anyone here would have any suggestions. There's more details over at the post, and there isn't a desperate need - it's just that I know everyone is so different and I'm very aware that all of these tables were made by me, so I thought it might be quite nice to have some by other people? If anyone has any ideas, or would have joined in if there was a table like x, now's your chance! (Also, if anyone would like to suggest a theme for a table/tables, that would also be cool. I didn't think of that when making the post).


4. I wrote a thing for runaway_tales the other day! And so what, you cry? Well, it was not for Heroes of the Revolution, it was for The Pirate Queen (another of the three fake shows I did at the time, only one that had current actors and was In Space! With Pirates! (Well, Pirates-ish.) I had some thoughts about it, so I might occasionally write some bits for it? I don't know, but there's this, which I did hastily for the Flavour of the Day:

Beneath My Dignity (All ages, 444 words. Lio Hadwin, Arkryte II.) Lio gets lumbered with his nemesis on an away trip.


* It is an awesome comm! You should join! I'm not biased; I didn't make it... Oh, wait, I am, and I did. ;-D

Actually, I've probably written more of them than I care to admit! And I did a bit of brainstorming and realised a few fics that fit - as ever. But there are definitely some squares in there... 0_o

The PIrate Queen is a spaceship, though, really, and the crew aren't properly piratical, though they are unofficial and in search of treasure of sorts. I'm actually a lot less fond of pirates than of saying Pirates! or the idea of pirates. But I shall note Cutthroat Island because I do like the idea of pirate queens.

Pirates! :) "The Pirate Queen" is an excellent ship name, space or otherwise.

I will hopefully read that story later today.
