An icon batch I was waiting to post until I'd done the latest [community profile] retro_icontest challenge, and then nearly forgot about! Most of these have probably been posted here before, although not the [community profile] retro_icontest The7Days challenge to icon seven different angles from the last seven things you watched. The angles were above, below, left, right, back, front, artist's choice. Plus, all the icons I made recently to complete [community profile] 100fandomicons and [community profile] retro_icontest's Island Rumble round, making icons from the same two screencaps & some alts.

I seem to have found myself going back to some old Arrowverse episodes/scenes for comfort lately, and since the collected DC shows included actual musical theatre legends and half of the Glee alumni and are usually pretty accessible, I'm collecting some faves here. Maybe they'll cheer someone else up too.

Is this a Bollywood number? )

For [community profile] snowflake_challenge - Challenge #6: In your own space, make a list — anything between one and ten things is a sweet spot, but don't feel constrained by that! - of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, or that you'd like someone to make for you.

I mainly want more anything for or anyone into my ridiculous obscure old telly fandoms, especially the ones with James Maxwell in, but that is too unreasonable to ask.

So:

1. I have a Dear Author tag which contains all my previous exchange letters and therefore details of Things I Like, why, and in what ways I would like All the Fic. Especially if it has James Maxwell in, obviously or by stealth. :-D (Other things are good! I want All The Things when I'm not at my most tired.)

2. Comments on my fic. If I have Thoughts on things, that tends to become fic and because I am actually a lot more shy than I may appear while babbling on the internet, I have always used that as my prime way into talking to people and making friends, and given my shaky concentration, I'm bad at doing it from the other way round (although I hope to improve again soon).


But, funnily, I was about to post this, so I shall include it! I was going back through all my editions of the 15 Characters Meme (and the 12 Characters thing) and noting down things that really should exist, whether as a begging list or a reminder to self, I cannot say, but I think, given this topic, it should go right here! So:

3. All these things should totally exist somewhere, right?


a. The Master goes to Granny Weatherwax's used vehicle lot to purchase a vehicle. Long John Silver offers unsolicited advice about it.

b. Ace, Sapphire, and Cally spend the night in a haunted house.

c. Violet Crawley is made supreme ruler of the globe.

d. Rupert Giles & Violet Crawley get thrown back in time to 1066 in a freak accident. The fate of England rests on the shoulders of one or both of them.

e. Zen & Holly are stuck in a museum after closing hours (presumably ancient exhibits in a technology museum, long forgotten...)

f. Harry Pearce, Esme Weatherwax, and Jane Marple are alone in a house/other building of your choice. It is a dark and stormy night. There is a thunderous knock on the door followed by the sound of feet running away. When they open the door, there is a baby in a basket, and voila, one tiny child has three of the best and scariest godparents ever. Do not mess with them.

g. Charley Pollard and Clara Oswald go into business together

h. Ros Myers is catapulted into another dimension where they meet the good/evil mirror version of their friends. (With bonus debate as to whether this would therefore be the mirror dimension where everyone was fluffy and into kittens and then Ros would have to kill them all, or if Ruth would be a megalomaniac she needed to defeat.)

i. A Bill Potts/Kara Danvers College AU where Bill is teaching physics and passing on the wonders of the universe, Sam Vimes is teaching a criminology course that is turning out to be way more hands on and practical than the university was up for, Kara is teaching a journalism course and is really nervous about it and her first few lectures do not go well, since they involve public speaking. She keeps winding up in Bill's study for biscuits and sympathy. Bill is very helpful and is developing a serious crush. (It'd be adorable only with bonus Vimes. What's not to like?)

j. The Sixth Doctor and Zelena Mills have to fake a relationship.

k. Kara Danvers/Obi Wan-Kenobi, and/or this impressively pretty, explosive and effective sedoretu comprised of Dayna Mellanby & Kara Danvers, Kara Danvers/Bill Potts, Kara Danvers/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dayna Mellanby/Bill Potts and Dayna Mellanby/Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Bill Potts & Obi-Wan Kenobi. It would involve a lot of handwaving, but is that not what fic is for?

l. Kara Danvers and the Sixth Doctor are entered in the Great British Bake-Off. (Optional: Orac is a guest judge and Servalan is trying to sabotage the whole thing.)

m. The Twelfth Doctor and Cora Mills are now buddy cops.

n. Twelve and Henry VII are running a coffee shop that lives off the attraction of Twelve's terrible customer service and Henry's excellent book-keeping. (I don't know what kind of AU it is, but I'd read it.)


(I'd like to point out that I did write the one where Donna Moss got locked in the wine cellar with Eight and One and the one where Henry VII and Ace went on a (kind of date; stuff blew up anyway), and more or less the Jenkins and Twelve find a stray kitten, if you substute 'baby winged horse' for kitten, so I have done my part, or some of it, anyway...)

Dear Chocolatier,

Thank you for making something for me! This letter is bound to be long, but tl;dr: I love all kinds of things, I love the fandoms and character combinations I've chosen, and as long as you don't write my few hard DNWs, I I'm bound to love whatever you come up with. Prompts are intended purely for inspiration, not to restrict your choices. Take what's useful and leave what isn't, and I hope you have fun.

That said, here is the long version...

Day 4

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"


I did this earlier today, while looking through some of the Day 3 entries.


Day 7

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 2 might be a good place to start.) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


So I was writing a Chocolate Box exchange letter and thinking about Barry & Kara prompts, and the mind naturally drifts to cakefic, and so, I wrote this, in two new-to-me fandoms. It will also no doubt be new to the Arrowverse to meet [community profile] cakefic, so we'll, er, see how that goes... (Cakefic is a thing, and it is all the fault of the lovely [personal profile] clocketpatch and the folks of DeathByAsprin in days gone by.)

Belated, but I'm going to try and do this now!



Day 1

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Fannishly, rather than physically (which I assume is what's wanted?), probably my main 'happy place' out of recent fandoms over the last few years has been Once Upon a Time. It may have many faults, but its ridiculous-awesome meta fairy tale soap opera open crossover nature, has been a go-to for cheering up, at least when it comes to things that aren't beige or black & white and at least 35 years old. Especially Regina and Lana Parrilla and her face.

In old TV, James Maxwell has been an excellent TV boyfriend in so many ways, saving only burninated stuff I can't have (*pines*). He also had an interesting life, despite claiming to be super-ordinary, and is a very satisfactory person to like all round. This year was particularly good because I found an actual interview with him and someone magically sent me his autograph online via tumblr and a dream. Thinking about all of this makes me happy.

Also Adam Adamant Lives! AAL! is like old Brit TV happy-making medicine. I don't know if Sydney Newman put that in his instructions to Verity Lambert back in the day, but probably.


Day 2

Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Okay, three of the most recent of my (non-Yuletide) bookmarks:

Kindred by trufflemores (G, 2981 words. Arrowverse, Barry Allen & Kara Danvers)
1.18. Barry and Kara share donuts on a rooftop. Sweet & fun missing scene from Supergirl and the Flash's first encounter.


Decade of Hell by fogshadow (G, 5333 words. Star Trek: Voyager/Sapphire & Steel, Silver.)
When I tell you that Time has moods, a disposition to be intuited, I'm not speaking metaphorically. Anger is one of its moods—anger and the desire for retribution, vengeance. Time itself has tried to punish me for my arrogance. It has kept me from my wife, denied me my future. —Captain Annorax, "Year of Hell: Part 2" Or, Silver gets stuck on one hell of an assignment. Unusual crossover, which is accessible from either end as Silver gives an outsider POV on a particular Voyager incident. Excellent.


Notes from the Past by KittyEden (Teen, 4298 words. Sapphire, Steel, Magnesium)
An empty house, stacks upon stacks of blank paper, and a string of mysterious deaths: Sapphire and Steel- and Magnesium- have been assigned. Great missing assignment with a lovely OC Element. (Archive-locked).
