Weekly(ish) proof of life: reading (no notes), weather, and butter chicken sadness

Reading: Recently finished: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil (Schwab, V.E.), Confidence (Frumkin, Rafael), and Hemlock & Silver (Kingfisher, T.).

Currently reading: Still working through Almost Everything: Notes on Hope (Lamott, Anne) and most of the way through Metal from Heaven (Clarke, August).

scruloose and I have passed the halfway mark on listening to Network Effect, and haven't watched anything since that's occupying our "watch/listen to something together" time.

Weathering: Well, the weather sure has noticed it's November! This is not the first gray wet day we've had, and while yesterday kindly didn't rain on us when we went out erranding, it was down near the freezing mark (and had gone below overnight).

Eating:

scruloose and I have a delicious go-to Indian place, but both it and our fallback spot too universally have onions in everything for them to be good choices for Ginny, so periodically when she and Kas are over we gamble on an Indian spot that none of us have tried. ( butter chicken sadness )

deadline

Deadline day!

At the time of this post, we have a little less than 12 hours left until deadline (at 9pm PST)! Here's a countdown.

If you're running late and need an extension, please email edmmmod@gmail.com before the deadline hits.

If you've already posted and are thinking about something else to write, take a look at the outstanding pinch hits, and if none of those are in your wheelhouse, try browsing the app for treats.

If you're still working, good luck! See you at the banquet table.

with the gales of November remembered

[1] Friends on Bluesky (kivrin) or on Finch (LWQMXDV9J5), which I just got but am really liking.

[2] Art of my ttrpg OCs. I've asked for this every year since I started playing (ie. since I got on bupropion) and had someone draw one for me the first year, then decide I'd asked for too much and fully abandon the project (and bar me from using the existing artwork). I'm still not sure how much of that was my fault, but I'd love a do-over, especially if you're an artist who is willing to tell me exactly how much is "too much" to ask for, and let me backtrack if I've actually gone overboard.

[3] Stickers for my planner! I've been decorating my planner every week all year and it helps so much. Since stickers can just go in a standard envelope, I would assume you can send them from anywhere without incurring custom fees as long as it's not something that's declared on the envelope. I like floral stuff and sort of stylized things, with a white or transparent background if possible. These are some examples of what I mean .

[4] I would love some editing work, particularly anything related to TTRPG writing -- modules, homebrew, etc. I have a couple of offers on my Ko-Fi, but I truly don't even know where to start. I would also be thrilled to design printables for spell cards, condition cards, item cards, character sheets, etc. for a low price -- I keep meaning to design them and sell them, but I have a really hard time getting myself to do it without specifics or someone waiting on them.

In the same vein, I've been meaning to try making a dice bag; if anyone wants to sort of pre-buy one, that would be amazing.

[5] Anything from my Amazon.es wishlist, or

[6] gift cards to Amazon.es, the PlayStation store, or UberEats. I haven't had takeout since my birthday last year.

And I will specify two things from the wishlist:

[7] A planner for next year. I have a day view and a week view on there because I can't choose one, not because I want both, and I'm willing to let a stranger pick between them for me.

[8] This is partly a pipe dream, partly a request for contributions so I can perhaps buy it myself on Black Friday. I am dying for a PS5. I want to play the games my friends are playing, and they insist on not releasing them for PS4, and it sucks. I have a little bit of money set aside for this, but not enough to buy it without feeling incredibly guilty about it. So if you're willing to contribute anything from 5 bucks to the whole thing, my Paypal is battlesinthemorning@gmail.com (or you can send money through paypal.me) and I can share my Wise account details as well in private messages.

[9] A year subscription on the lowest tier to DNDBeyond. I am currently juggling three accounts with six characters each and it is a mess. It works though, so this isn't super high priority.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and also to give out my address via PM for either stickers or if you want to buy me something off not-Amazon (eg. Kokonote has its own website).

Thank you so much for reading, and happy holidays!

Happy holidays all!

Happy holidays everyone. Another year, another holiday wishes. I do enjoy this group each year. I feel like it represents the best out of everyone.

Now about my list this year. I know things are well... they are very rough all around right now. So with that in mind for my list I'm focusing on mostly free things. And nothing that needs to be shipped.

The list will be short because of that. But that's more then fine with me.

In any case, the list.

1. Fanart for any of my fan fics. I'm really leaning into Monkey Wrench fics right now but any of my fics with art based off them would be great. Link to my ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/users/wonderminterplus

2. Fan fic , again feeling Monkey Wrench the most. And love Shrike/Beebs as a sweet ship. Fic based off any of my fics at ao3 would be adored.

3. The one money involved wish. Please donate to your local food kitchen.

4. Comment on more fic or art. Not just mine, but anyone whose works you love. Trust me, a nice comment makes a artist or writers day.

5. Do something nice for someone. Doesn't have to be big. Like, holding open the door for someone fulfills this. You would be surprised how much tiny things like that can help someone sometimes.

6. Watch some indie projects. If you are a animation fan, may I suggest a few shows such as "Monkey Wrench", "Ruff Ruff Danger Dogs" or "Knights of Guinevere. Please let me know what you think if you watch.

7. You have any ocs? I'd love to hear about them. I love ocs.

And that's it this year. Thank you all in advance. This event in general is just so sweet and needed in days like this.

Now to go look around at lists to see if I can make someones day.

Done Since 2025-11-09

So I did, in fact, need a live appointment about the pain in my right ankle. Edema, which I could have checked for a couple of weeks ago if I'd thought of it. (I did think of it late last week, and immediately made the appointment.) I am now on two more blood pressure meds, and I'm supposed to keep my feet up and avoid salt. So much for brine pickles and pizza with anchovies.

The only places where I can put my feet above the level of my heart are in bed (with my feet on the wall, so I can only do it for a little while in the morning), and the living room couch. And about the only thing I can do in that postition is breathing exercises. Growf. I have a follow-up appointment this coming Wednesday.

I re-stacked the plastic bins under my desk, so I can at least keep my legs level if not up. Don't know whether that will help much, but it can't hurt. (Much; it's a little hard on my unsupported knees, and starts hurting after a little while..) Still no idea why I always feel cold in the late afternoon and evening, but I've gotten Colleen's fake-fleece-lined scooter cape out of the closet and it helps. The cold feeling might be partly -- or even mostly -- anxiety, but, well, Colleen's cape.

N is back from London, after getting m and Cricket settled there. Not clear what that will do to our recording schedule -- not much given that it was already a shambles. Lizzy, the folding mobility scooter, is also back. She appears to need some work, and definitely needs a new battery.

I don't think I've mentioned N's book, The World As It Ought to Be, since it came out in hardcopy and Kindle. Go get yourself a copy. I finally got her author's website more-or-less done; she's having it professionally desighed, but the one I hacked together will do until that's done. I got the Website Portfolio, which I mentioned last week, more-or-less done as well.

Some links: The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition - Elena Rossini. She saved a baby goat. Now they travel the country, share a bed.

Sherlock Holmes (ACD): Fanfic: A Party Game

Title: A Party Game
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Rating: G
Length: 393 words
Summary: Dr Watson is explaining a suitable game for the children's Christmas party

( Mrs Hudson has told me )

Entry tags:

due South: Ghost Song by exeterlinden

Fandom: due South
Characters/Pairings: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, Diefenbaker, Victoria
Rating: author's rating is ?NC-17 for angst and violent imagery. I'd rate it Mature.
Length: 9998
Content Notes: see rating note above. No AO3 warnings apply.
Creator Links: exeterlinden on AO3, exeterlinden on DW
Themes: Mystery and Suspense, Mythical Creatures: werewolves, Angst with a happy ending, Friends to lovers, AU: fork in the road

Summary: It appears on the fire escape one late evening in early winter, big and dark and silent.

Reccer's Notes: This gripping and spooky story starts with a different version of Fraser's chase and snowy huddling with Victoria, then segues into current (AU) canon with Ray Kowalski baffled by the big, black, mysterious, wolflike dog that intermittently appears on his fire escape, trying to get in, sometimes with Dief trying to chivvy it away. Also, Fraser's been distancing himself, and when he finds out about the dog's visits he's most unhappy. Things get weirder, and Fraser gets weirder, and then Victoria returns to push them all into crisis. The ending took me by surprise, and I liked it a lot! An excellent read.

Friday Five on a Saturday

1) What's one of the nicest things a friend has ever done for you?

diffrentcolours and mother_bones making it very clear to me that I had options, when my marriage felt too difficult to extract itself from, they just loved me and waited for me and made sure I never felt like I was alone.

They left me stay here without paying for much the first few months so I didn't have to worry about money (which I appreciated so much but also when I got money I appreciated that they let me pay it back because it was really important to me, father than to them, that I do that).

They took on me at my most messed-up and Gary just as he was starting to be a lot of work, and adjusted their lives repeatedly to meet our needs. And they've continued to provide a warm, safe, functional and pleasant house for me to live in ever since.

2) What's one of the nicest things a stranger has ever done for you?

In 2018 I went to London with friends. The plan was to stay overnight, see Hamilton, and then one of them was taking me to Brussels on the Eurostar so I could make use of my less-than-a-year-old British passport to travel within the EU while the UK was still part of it.

By the time the play had finished, I had a Facebook message from a stranger. She said she was staff on the train we'd gotten to London, she'd found the little plastic wallet that I had my railcard and train tickets in which I'd apparently dropped on the floor rather than putting back in my bag after the tickets had been inspected, and that she'd handed it in at Euston so it'd be waiting for me on my return.

Without that ticket wallet, both me and my companion traveling on my disabled railcard would've had to buy new tickets from London to Manchester which is exorbitantly expensive especially at the last minute, and it would've been a cost that was utterly beyond me at that point. And I would have wanted to cover it since it would've been 100% my fault that I'd lost the tickets!

I am so grateful to that lady. So clever of her to look up the railcard name on Facebook to communicate with me, and thank goodness I didn't have a common name! (Also lucky for me it was the same name; since my railcard eligibility is my Certificate of Visual Impairment and since that's in my old name, my railcard is in my old name too; I've been calling it my "blind name" lately for this reason as a lot of things depend on that: so like at the gym I'm getting a discounted membership for being disabled and that means the other day when the gym staff asked my name as I was signing in, I had to think quickly to get it right! Anyway, this method wouldn't even work for finding me on Facebook these days but it did back in the days of Hamilton and Britain being in the EU.)

I got in touch with the train company to lavish compliments on her and I hope they gave her whatever treats or bonuses they offer. It was a small effort for her but it made a huge difference to me.

3) What is a trait in another person that you instantly admire, and that draws you to them?

Vulnerability and emotional fluency.

4) What is a trait in another person that instantly repels you, and prevents you from forming a close relationship with them?

Treating people as things, as Granny Weatherwax describes it.

5) Time to vent: tell us about something rotten someone has done to you.

Two of the three people I was with Answer 3 aren't in my life any more, both related to the same instigating incident where almost all my friends and my community fell for some DARVO, ghosted on me, and/or apparently still drastically misunderstand the circumstances in Answer 1. This being unrelated to but almost perfectly timed with the beginning of the pandemic was incredibly isolating. It's taken time to rebuild friendships and a sense of community, but good progress has been made over the last couple years.

fandom: tolkien

last entry of the red book by cosynopsis (SFW)

Fandom: Tolkien: Lord of the Rings
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Legolas and Gimli
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: traditional art - aquarelle watercolours
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: cosynopsis on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: I'll be reccing two very different versions of this scene, of Legolas and Gimli on their last trip together, sailing to the Grey Havens - Gimli was the only dwarf to go to the Grey Havens. This version is bright and upbeat, and I like the quirky style and details. Also I'm pretty sure Gimli has spectacles here, which is cute.

Hewwo

Name: K/zheida

Age: 36

I mostly post about: nothing in particular right now, i'm trying to get back into using this site, i think i'm really over social media in general and i miss LJ stuff haha BUT mostly rp doodles probably, and some artwork now that most sites are making it near unbearable to post drawings that are lgbt romance. Anything n everything

My hobbies are: drawing, writing, rp, world building, music archiving (usually old obscure osts for various anime n rpgs) gaming, watching anime, reading Manga (I need to read more books... 😭) d&d/tabletop, cooking, sewing, crafting idk do a lot of things but I'm not necessarily good at many hahai

My fandoms are: i don't really consider myself "in fandoms" I just sort of like what I like and make merch for it sometimes, I rarely interact in fan content so I'm not rly a big fic reader, I'm much more in the oc crowd than making fan content. BUT here's some stuff I love: record of lodoss war, weathering continent, RG Veda, Saint seiya, magi labyrinth of magic, land of the lustrous, dungeon meshi, Slayers, lunar: sss&eb, mana series, final fantasy, Lufia, -- really lots of old fantasy anime n games from the 60s to late 90s with the rare occasional newer thing

I'm looking to meet people who: are chill and around my age, anyone who's interested in original characters n anything listed above

My posting schedule tends to be: unsure yet but I'd like it to be every day if I can manage it

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I guess just general hateful content, which I don't see happening often. Other than that I am NOT a fan of anti/proshipper wank I am frankly too old for it. Both sides get on my nerves and I will typically unfollow ppl who start engaging in that arguing.

Before adding me, you should know: as related to above; I am a believer of fiction being fiction and separate from reality. I don't really care what people choose to write or create. (we can point out real life patterns in themes chosen, but that doesn't make any of it real or inherently harmful) However, I like to be critical of media n can sound harsh about it sometimes, but I'm never going to tell anyone not to like something just bc I don't care for it.

Buone feste!

Hello from a second-time participant! Here are my wishes. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to PM me.

Wish 01. Comments and kudos on my stories

I write fanfiction focusing on rarepairs and minor characters in the Pokémon fandom, with some other very small fandoms and original work sprinkled throughout.. I'd be thrilled to receive comments on anything that catches your eye. You can find my works under the AO3 username Audrelite. 99% of my stuff is 1k words or less so it's nice and short, but I do have some shorter one-shots as well. (I'm not a longfic writer.) No concrit, please, and I'd appreciate if you didn't mention that you're coming from this event or that you're fandom-blind.

Wish 02. Gift fics based on my exchange requests

I'd love to receive gift fics for any of my exchange requests, except for Original Work (including Object and Concept Anthropomorphism). Since my likes and DNWs, both general and NSFW, continually change over time, please consult the Optional Details of the latest exchange I've signed up for. My AutoAO3 App page, listing all of my requests, can be found here, and some giftbox-style events not hosted on AO3 I've signed up for can be found here.

Fandoms I frequently request include Pokémon, Beyblade Burst, and the Teen Titans animated series; others I'd really love gifts for include The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, Metal Fight Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the Seven Deadly Sins anime, Toonami, and many others. Please see the links above for specific info.

Wish 03. An EPUB file of any book off my Kindle list

Find my e-book wish list here.

Wish 04. E-Giftcards

Amazon, Spotify, Google Play

Wish 05. Someone who's read the Black Dynasty series by Marilena Barbagallo so I can gush about it

I've been utterly obsessed with this dark romance series for most of this year, and I've been very lonely since I can't really talk about it with any of my friends. Guess this is what you get when you love 1) dark romance and 2) Italian books—"niche" is an understatement to the nth degree.

Wish 06. Pipe Dream Wish: New iPad Mini

To keep my fanfic writing alive! (The fact that this iPhone X I've been using for my writing and creative endeavors has lasted me over 8 years astounds me to no end.)

Thanks very much for checking out my list, and happy holidays!

Creative Jam

Welcome to the 149th Crowdfunding Creative Jam! This session will run Saturday, November 15-Sunday, November 16. The theme is "Love & Sacrifice."

Crowdfunding Creative Jam

Everyone is eligible to post prompts, which may be words or phrases, titles, images, etc. Prompters may request a specific creator, but everyone else may still use that prompt if they wish. Prompts may specify a particular character/world/etc. but creators may use the prompt for something else anyway and post the results. Prompters are still encouraged to post mostly prompts that anyone could use anywhere, as this maximizes the chance of having creators make something based on your prompt. Please title your comment "Prompt" or "Prompts" when providing inspiration so these are easy to find.

Prompt responses may also be treated as prompts and used for further inspiration. For example, a prompt may lead to a sketch which leads to a story, and so on. This kind of cascading inspiration is one of the most fun things about a collective jam session.

Everyone is eligible to use prompts, and everyone who wants to use a given prompt may do so, for maximum flexibility of creator choice in inspiration. You do not have to post a "Claim" reply when you decide to use a prompt, but this does help indicate what is going on so that other prompters can spread out their choice of prompts if they wish.

Creators are encouraged, but not required, to post at least one item free. Likewise, sharing a private copy of material with the prompter is encouraged but not required. Creative material resulting from prompts should be indicated in a reply to the prompt, with a link to the full content elsewhere on the creator's site (if desired); a brief excerpt and/or description of the material may be included in the reply (if desired). It helps to title your comment "Prompt Filled" or something like that so these are easy to identify. There is no time limit on responding to prompts. However, creators are encouraged to post replies sooner rather than later, as the attention of prompters will be highest during and shortly after the session.

Some items created from prompts may become available for sponsorship. Some creators may offer perks for donations, linkbacks, or other activity relating to this project. Check creator comments and links for their respective offerings.

Prompters, creators, and bystanders are expected to behave in a responsible and civil manner. If the moderators have to drag someone out of the sandbox for improper behavior, we will not be amused. Please respect other people's territory and intellectual property rights, and only play with someone else's characters/setting/etc. if you have permission. (Fanfic/fanart freebies are okay.) If you want to invite folks to play with something of yours, title the comment something like "Open Playground" so it's easy to spot. This can be a good way to attract new people to a shared world or open-source project, or just have some good non-canon fun.

Boost the signal! The more people who participate, the more fun this will be. Hopefully we'll see activity from a lot of folks who regularly mention their projects in this community, but new people are always welcome. You can link to this session post or to individual items created from prompts, whatever you think is awesome enough to recommend to your friends.

Current Mood: cheerful

Holiday Wishes 2025 is now open!

Go forth and post (one wishlist per person)! If you're unfamiliar with the rules or need a refresher, you can find them here on the community profile. Wishlists will be accepted through December 31, 2025.

Once your wishlist has been approved, remember to tag it with at least one tag for each of the six categories listed on this post (Region, Country, Username, Holidays, Week, Category). If the tag you want to use isn't already available, you can post a comment to that post to request that it be created. In the case of fandom- or fanwork-related wishes, please tag for all fandoms requested.

Fanworks created to fulfill wishes can be posted to the AO3 collection.

Note About Shipping: At various times, shipping may be difficult in some parts of the world. If you know this is likely to be an issue for someone mailing you something, we encourage you to make a note about this in your wishlist. Editing your wishlist after the fact is therefore expressly permitted for the purpose of addressing the best ways of getting wished-for items to you.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season! :)

pinch hitters' prompts

Pinch Hitter Prompts 2025

Every year, well over a hundred pinch hitters take on extra assignments. Many of these pinch hitters are signed up to Yuletide, with an assigned writer and recipient from the start. Some are not!

Though these supporting pinch hitters are not guaranteed a gift, we'd like to make it a possibility. On this post, we're collecting prompts from the pinch hitters who are not signed up to Yuletide, so that others may give them treats.

To writers
Please consider writing a treat for a pinch hitter! See instructions for how, where, and when to post a treat. Full-length gifts for pinch hitters are welcome in the Main collection.

To pinch hitters
If you are signed up to Yuletide this year, this post does not apply to you, but we still hope you enjoy your gift(s).

If you are not signed up to Yuletide this year but you have claimed or posted a pinch hit, please comment to this post with your requests! Please limit yourself to Yuletide-eligible fandoms, but you can ask for more than 8 different fandoms.

Yuletide 2025 tag set on AO3
Tag set as a browser app

You can treat your comment as a Dear Writer letter, with likes and prompts, or include a link to a letter. Either way, please include the following information when you comment:

-your AO3 name
-your requested fandoms [please format the fandoms exactly as they are in the tag set if possible]
-your requested characters

and, optionally, ideas for what you would like to receive, DNWs, and/or (a) link(s) to other places where you have written about what you would like. You're welcome to comment on mini-challenge posts!

Thank you, pinch hitters! And thank you to anyone on the lookout to pick up a pinch hit - we will post them at

yuletide_pinch_hits throughout the exchange.
