I hit Final Boss con today. It's on my university in our sports/gym building. It's nice space to have but so hot. Our a/c system sucks. Met up with a former student now coworker/friend and we went through the vendors rooms (basically two gyms full of vendors) There was a lot of nice stuff but shockingly nothing much for current anime/indie animation other than demon slayer (which is not one of my favorite things)

I did get a tea towel for my SiL with a cat shoving a glass off the table saying I do what I want which is exactly what their youngest cat is like. I was a little disappointed that D.M.Guay wasn't there this year because I would have liked to see her and her books again.

The leather working dungeons and dragons person was there but I bought no dice this time. I might have bought the leather belt purse but it wasn't bigger than the one I have...and could not find. I have NO idea why that's not in the cosplay bag.

There were a couple other authors I've seen before. One I haven't read his book yet and the other I have and didn't like it so now I try to not make eye contact with him (and my companion told me about trying to beta read for him but he won't listen)

I didn't get many gifts this time but I did get some stuff for me. I'll share.

I did go in my steampunk outfit

Got a gyro from the food truck (I had wanted the Indian food but 15$ for sag paneer seemed like a lot I'm not sure they did well being the most expensive truck there)

There were tons of people selling video games but I have no gaming system. I loved the one person doing paper art shadow boxes but when I went back the one I liked was gone so no problems there for my wallet.

As I mentioned above I was surprised that there were no Amazing Digital Circus or Hazbin stuff, okay a wee bit but not much and I did get what was on offer for TADC. There were several TADC cosplayers and someone was dressed up as Abel and Lute (My companion was mamou from the apothecary diaries)

There was a larp group that I might look into I wouldn't mind (so long as I'm not the only woman)

Came home and started collecting info for my medicine power point I'm up to 43 pages of notes copy and pasted from other places (and this is as close to science saturday we're getting)

I made these salt bread rolls today (pic), and they are very tasty, but I think I still like pretzel rolls better, even with the mess of having to boil them before baking. There isn't much I like better than a big old soft pretzel, so pretzel rolls are where it's at for me. The salt bread is good though - very buttery.

I also made rice this afternoon in preparation for making a crispy rice salad tomorrow. I am very intrigued by the idea of crispy rice salad, but I don't know if I will like it in actuality, even though I like all the components I plan to put in it. (I'd also be more confident if every recipe I look at didn't call for a different type of rice. I made basmati, for the record.) I guess I'll report back tomorrow and how it goes.

And it's been a full day of watching hockey, after a long night of watching hockey last night. It's been exciting, but so much more relaxing since my team isn't in it.

And finally, here is today's poem:

Why You Should Never Marry A Poet
by Heather Bell

Think about it - the way that credit cards, bougainvillea,
vacations, dictionaries, the road on the way to work will

all never be enough. The poet wishes
with her deepest bones
and writes that she wishes
she would have killed you

in the supermarket. She wonders why
she ever loved you in song.

She publishes book after book. Each line detailing
how your hair is ugly and monstrous in the morning. And how,
like moss, you cling to her
so piteously.

But you marry her anyway.
and she looks like a roar of snow
in white. You figure she will read a poem about you
that day in front of everyone: her throat

is, after all, a stamen
or matchstick.

But she is silent, says only the I DO's
and a few Bible verses.

The poet loves with a most violent
heart. What you have not known-
she has wanted to tell you the truth
all of these years,

but grew silent as an old lover does
at eighty. There is no way to say

how one loves the ache of your cracked lips,
the heavy belly of your tongue, the years she spent
feeling not loved,
but still loving. Think about it-

the poet is fearful of others knowing and finding your mouth.

She is frightened of you -
realizing you could have been
loved better or harder
or with real words.

When everything happened on LJ back in the late 00s, I was loathe to give up a 'permanent' home, a place where I could easily find my own posts, a place where I had made so many friends. It was my second true migration; I wasn't on Yahoo Groups long enough to consider it a home, and the previous jump had been leaving mIRC as well as Usenet.

But here was this site that was supposed to be similar to LJ in feel and workings, but with the added bonus of dividing things into access and subscription.

jerico_cacaw gave me an invite, my now-wife acquired me the seed account.

It helped, I admit, that I'd gotten into a kerfluffle in DC fandom, was moving more fully into Transformers, and was happy on that aspect to be starting over.

Why Dreamwidth now, though?

Permanent. My posts stay in a logically ordered fashion that I can go back and search in a number of ways. Not image intensive, which is a blessing to my eyes some days. Privacy controls I can use easily.

Or, in other words, it's where I keep my stuff.

Sorry guys, been busy this last end of the month and we just got a new participant for last call.
We got 7 great sets thus far. But I still need sets from the following people:

Merry Three Weeks for Dreamwidth! I actually have some things I want to post about, so I will be relatively active these next few weeks, but I thought I'd start by filling in a prompt posted by

goodbyebird

My friend from school used to email me shuffle games she found on people's fanfiction.net profiles, this is such a throwback. At some point I'll post one I dug up from 2012, but first,

Put your mp3 player~~/phone/streaming collection~~ on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results.

Haruna woiye woiye iye (Having nothing)
Flicking channels in my hotel room
Now it seems to me that you know just what to say
Cut away, hard to find
誰にも見せない誰にも言わない [Darenimo misenai darenimo iwanai] (I won't show it to anyone, and I won't tell anyone)
I hear the drizzle of the rain, it's falling from my window
Come as you are sweetheart
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
We're self-imploding under the weight of your advice
It don't really matter
Oh, le-lo-lai, le-lo-lai, le-lo-lai, le-lo-lai, le-lo-lai
Na loti yo, na moni yo (I dreamed of you, I saw you)
Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me
You ain't gotta answer none of my calls
Good times keep rolling, got to escape now
I was down for the count
I do you, you do me
Well I thought I saw your airplane
Say my name, say my name
I can't stand the sight of you

So, we've got a couple of rhymes, some jarringly iconic opening lines, and a real sense this person can't make up their mind (as if they're of 20 minds!). But the bitterness of the final line is basically enough to pull it all together! This is definitely the same as writing a poem.

Try it yourself if you fancy, in the comments or on your own journal! ★

A few days ago I did something in the middle of the night that agitated my foot and its been more painful ever since. I've been spending even more time sitting and reading as result. At least the cats are happy. Anyways have some thoughts on my recent reading:

The Prettiest Star written by Jadzia Axelrod, art by Jess Taylor—I picked this up because it's about an alien princess who is disguised as a human teen boy. I was hoping it would hit some crossdressing girl media troupes. However the disguise stuff was pretty much just a straightforward metaphor for trans-ness. It was a cute story but it wasn't the thing that I hoped it would be. I did appreciate that the town it took place in was called Ozma Gap though

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girlvol 8-12 by Ryan North, Erica Henderson, Derek Charm et al— These are still very fun! I love Doreen and Nancy’s friendship a lot.

I appreciate that this references the myth of Redemptive violence and all but I don't really think it's making a coherent moral point or like succeeding in refuting the myth here. (I’m not sure that you can do that and be a superhero story – its a genre that’s built on punching people being cool)

Mostly my read through of Squirrel Girl has been technically a re-read though it was all long enough ago that I didn’t remember much, but these last couple of volumes I hadn’t gotten to. It’s nice to have finished it all now.

The Mystery of the Meanest Teacher: A Johnny Constantine Graphic Novel by Ryan North and Derek Charm—One of the things I checked out when I was wondering what Ryan North was up to recently. John Constantine is a bitter British magician who shows up in fics occasionally to help with inadvisable magic, but I don't really know much about him. This is a graphic novel about him as a kid. I can’t really speak to how this related to his other comic appearances but it's very cute and fun as its own thing.

Batman: Bruce Wayne, Murderer/Fugitive by Greg Rucka et al —The next big bat family crossover after No Man’s Land. Bruce Wayne is accused of murder, which of course creates a lot of problems. I really liked some parts of this (people teaming up to solve a mystery!) and really didn’t like other bits (The prison sequences made me want to yell at someone about prisoners deserving human rights, and what even was going on with Azrael?)

This year's Hugo nominees were announced early this week. In an unexpected development, I've read four of the Best Novel candidates (having finished the fourth the night before the announcement) and three (!) of the Best Novella candidates, which is more unusual, given how few novellas I read. I'm delighted that

renay got nominated for Intergalactic Mixtape for Best Fanzine (all the more impressive for how new it still is!), as well as for The Hugo Spreadsheet of Doom for Best Related Work. ^_^

But the thing that hit me hardest is that A Girl and Her Fed is up for Best Graphic Story or Comic, having wrapped up its third (and for now, final) act last year. (On Bluesky, K.B. Spangler notes "The work *as a whole* is eligible as it concluded in 2025, but since that is 2000+ strips, we are including the 50+ strips from 2025 in the packet, with a cover page with links to Parts 1 and 2 for reader convenience." She and Ale Presser (who took over the actual art from Spangler a while back) will be attaching this cover to their Hugos submissions packet.

I love AGAHF (and especially the connected Rachel Peng novels, as I've said many times) so much, so this is a real joy.

Reading: I finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shroud (the aforementioned Hugo nominee that I finished the night before the announcement), and while I enjoyed the back half of it more than the beginning, it still never really got emotional hooks into me, which is required for me to particularly bond with any story. Fascinating worldbuilding, though, and a grimly plausible look at a future society where humanity lives to serve capitalism.

I've also finished reading the Hikaru no Go manga! According to Goodreads, I'd read as far as vol. 19 before (a loooooong time ago). (It's now been long enough since

scruloose and I watched the c-drama that I mostly only remember my feelings about it, so I have no real sense of how faithful its plot wound up being by the end.)

Currently reading The Gutter Prayer by Gareth Hanrahan.

Watching: As I mentioned last weekend, I asked

scruloose if they'd be up for giving Justice in the Dark a shot, if only to give me the excuse to rewatch the first eight episodes before finally moving on to the ones that eventually got released in Japan after not being cleared to air in China. They agreed, and we're now four or five episodes in!

I haven't read any of the new release of Mo Du/Silent Reading yet (partly because I don't read nearly as much as I'd like, but also because I'm getting this series in hard copy, which makes it take even longer for me to get around to reading something >.<), so my memory of the novel from reading the fan translation several years ago is fairly fuzzy, but (as expected) I really, really like the main actors.

The tacked-on sci-fi framing is both bizarre and aggressively pushed, and since Mo Du, unlike Guardian, is a modern setting with no fantasy elements that needed to be given a sci-fit polish to make it passable, I can only assume its main purpose is to put extra distance between the genuinely horrific crimes and reality. (At the very least, I don't remember reading about any other explanation/theory, but it's been ages since I saw much talk about the drama that wasn't largely focused on the relationships/character dynamics--which is not a complaint, since that's totally what I'm here for.)

Working: This weekend I'm starting my adaptation of the penultimate volume of Yona of the Dawn. I read the translation a couple days ago and am having a lot (A LOT) of feelings. Send strength.

Current Mood: busy

Colorful image that says 3weeks4dreamwidth friending meme

Friending Meme! Come make new friends!

OKAY FOLKS it is time for another round of Althea's List of Interesting Dreamwidth Communities! I last posted this during

snowflake_challenge this year, so just a few months ago, but I've stealth added some more since then.

Rules:
1. Share freely! This post is public for that reason.
2. If you know of a good comm and want to see it featured, comment and I'll very likely add it.
3. I refuse to add comms that full of bigotry and hate. That seems to not be a Dreamwidth thing, but I am sure they are out there. I'm here for supportive / fun places!

And now, here's the list! ~~They are roughly in reverse chronological order to when they've been added, so newer ones are at the top.~~ EDIT @ 12:22pm: I've redone the list to be broken down roughly alphabetical by category, which should make it easier to manage!

Dreamwidth

Non-official communities to help make your time on Dreamwidth more rich.

3weeks4dreamwidth is a thing in which people post/interact more on Dreamwidth, to show love for the platform. ♥

addme_fandom A friend finding community, but with a specific fandom focus! Interested in a particular fandom right now and want more people to talk about it with? Here’s a good place to find fellow fans!

addme_fandom is a place to find friends who share your fannish obsessions.

findingfriends : Similar to the addme communities but with a more in-depth approach, including things like posting style and what sort of interactions you’re looking for. Takes more brain power than the addme comms, but I imagine that the connections result in a higher level of compatibility.

followfriday recommends people/communities to follow each Friday.

getting_started is a community with resources for those new to Dreamwidth.

moodthemeinayear is what it says on the tin: the folks there are working on creating custom Dreamwidth mood themes over the course of a year.

reddit_refugees offers resources for newcomers to Dreamwidth.

snowflake_challenge runs in January, and is a way to celebrate fandom and meet interesting people on Dreamwidth.

sunshine_challenge Like snowflake_challenge but runs in the summer months (northern hemisphere, but our Southern Friends experiencing winter are welcome too!)

twitter_refugees is for folks migrating to Dreamwidth from Twitter.

Bingos

Creative or commenting challenges based on a bingo card.

allbingo - They do all sorts of bingos, mostly writing-related but I think they've had some crafting ones as well. There's new challenges monthly!

comment_bingo is a bingo challenge community for commenting on all those fanfics you read.

genprompt_bingo - for the writers! They generate bingo cards of prompts, with all the prompts being gen. You can, of course, write a shippy fic from the prompt – it’s just the prompts themselves that are gen.

ladiesbingo is a bingo challenge to make works focused on the relationship between women, whether gen, femslash, or familial. I'm currently having great fun trying to fill my bingo board!

lyricaltitles is a bingo fest for fanfiction and original fiction centering around using songs for inspiration!

vid_bingo is a community for vidders to use bingo card prompts to inspire vids

Prompts

Writing or creative challenges that are prompt-based but not bingo cards:

100words is a drabble community for fiction of all kinds. They post weekly challenges there.

1character is a writing challenge where you choose a character and prompt set, then write one line sentences to fill each prompt.

25poemsamonth is a community where a 25 prompt table is posted at the beginning of every month and then, members have until the beginning of the next to fill as many prompts as possible.

fan_flashworks is a multifandom comm that posts one prompt for the week you use to write a short fanfic.

ffprompts posts monthly prompts for the Final Fantasy video game franchise. As a big fan of this series, I'd love to see more fills for the prompts happening!

fic_promptly is created for leaving prompts and answering prompts. All fandoms are allowed, as are original work and real-person work. Fills can be fics or poems. There is no minimum/maximum word count.

inspiredby posts writing prompts monthly.

kittens_and_spitefic 's goal is to prompt fan content by acting like a total troll and pretending to bash what you want to see up one side and down the other. Commenters then engage with the supposed "troll" by spamming them with cat (and other animal) macros and/or content that caters to everything the original poster professes to hate.

sweetandshort is a low-pressure community for creating small fanworks / original works each week.

threesentenceficathon People leave prompts, other write short fills of 3 sentences or longer.

Writing

Writing-related communities that aren't Bingos or Prompts.

10trueloves is a writing challenge where you pair a character with ten others (IIRC, they don't have to be romantic pairings, but I'm not sure – check the comm rules for more info!)

getyourwordsout is a writing challenge community where you can challenge yourself by wordcount of number of days written per month.

makezines is for folks doing just that!

Icons

Icon-creating challenges and other icon communities.

iconthat is another icon challenge community.

your_favourites is an icon making community that migrated over from LiveJournal. Looks like they have themes for members to create icons for, and then take a vote for best icon. I've joined it in hopes of finding more icons to add to my own journal.

Books

Read-alongs and other book communites:

booknook posts a weekly Read-in-Progress check-in posts on Wednesdays.

queerbookclub is a no pressure book club dedicated to fiction books of all genres that are queer in some way! each month we take suggestions on what the next month's book should be and we vote on it. if you're not interested in the book for the month, that's perfectly fine!

readingtogether - has seen some activity the past few months. It's not like a normal book club where everyone reads the same thing - instead everyone reads their own thing and posts their progress.

Crafts and General Creativity

everykindofcraft is what it says it is.

get_knitted posts daily check-ins. The folks there are GREAT about commenting on each other's comments. It's not just for knitting, either - there are people there who do scrapbooking and jigsaw puzzles.

justcreate - has weekly check in posts where you can update everyone on your creative progress. All kinds of creativity are celebrated there, including fiber arts, drawing, writing, and more.

nacramamo is National Craft-Making Month, and is gearing up now to kick off in October. The challenge is to work on some kind of craft every day for 31 days.

communal_creators is a community for creative types! A mini-round for time pledges will be happening this spring. ANY kind of creativity is welcome! We have people writing (both fic and original), knitting, crochet, vidding, storyboarding, baking, making websites... if it's creative, you're welcome here.

drawesome - has drawing challenges. I haven't taken part yet because I am a very sucky drawer, but I hope to start there in the future.

Culture

Communities focusing on a specific culture.

c_ent is for Chinese Entertainment, and comes highly recommended by a few people.

latam is a new community for people to come together to talk about latinamerican music, films, food, culture, fandom, and more! Everyone's welcome, no matter where you're posting from! And you can also post in your language (official languages of the community are Spanish, Portuguese and English!)

Nature

What it says on the tin.

birdfeeding covers everything to do with birdfeeding, gardening for wildlife, and related topics.

common_nature is a photo community to share nature pics from your area, and has been active recently.

Fandom & Gaming

Communities about fandom in general and in specific.

allkindsofdolls is what it says on the tin. If you love dolls, check it out.

anime_manga has seen some activity lately!

bnha_fans is for fans of Boku no Hero Academia

fandom_on_dw : Pretty much the same as above, honestly, but it’s good that there’s more than one place that hosts this kind of thing!

fandomcalendar : This is a community dedicated to announcing fandom events, which can include fandom-specific friending memes.

fictional_fans : A community for all fans and fandoms. If you’ve got a post you want to make about fandom in general, or a specific fandom that doesn’t have its own community, this might be a good place to check out.

finalfantasy - of course this would be here, if you know me. It's been very slow there lately, but I'd love to see more activity there.

indie_games sometimes sees activity, and in the past, we did a play-together of A Short Hike.

Social Justice

Because the world is a mess and we just need to fix it.

fandomtrumpshate raises money for charity by creating fanworks.

thissterlingcrew is the UK equivalent of the below.

thisfinecrew is a social justice community focused on the USA. It doesn't get as much action as i once did but there are still informative posts there once in a while.

womansplace is a community that holds dual purpose: 1) Celebrate characters who identify as women or who are aligned with womanhood in transformative fan works. Events include community recs, a prompt fest, and a vid exchange. 2) Raise funds via a vid auction

Other Communties

These didn't fit in the other categories but I feel are interesting enough to warrant being on this post!

queerly_beloved : An anti-exclusionist queer space to get together and talk about all things queer, including intersectional matters. Hosts a weekly recommendations thread, but more and other content is very welcome!

1word1day posts a vocabulary word a day!

agonyaunt - critiques letters to advice columnists and the answers the letter writers get. I love this community because it is filled with smart people that I am learning a lot from. I'm a person of a certain age, and I know because of the timeframe I grew up in I have a lot of inherit biases and whatnot. I try to be above those biases, but sometimes I don't recognize them. Reading the other commenters to agonyaunt helps me recognize those biases and better myself.

awesomeers - they make a post for each day of the week in which they challenge the members to comment with Just One Thing you did today that you're proud of accomplishing. Of course you are free to post more than one thing if you'd like! I love the idea of this community, though I haven't been very active in it lately. I hope to change that, if only to congratulate other people. Also: we celebrate all accomplishments there, so something as simple as "I got out of bed" would be acceptable!

bujo for bullet journalers.

crowdfunding connects creators, patrons, and fans of cyberfunded creativity. Watch for the mid-month Creative Jam with a new theme each time.

do_it - A community for posting to-do lists to make yourself accountable to others.

holiday_wishes - active in the last two months of the year. People post their holiday wish lists there, and others fill them! I really was blessed one year - I got a bunch of cards, some yarn, some chocolate, and some other sweet treats. &hearts

journalsandplanners - what it says on the tin: for those who use a journal or planner to organize their lives.

reference_library is a place to gather helpful links and share them, run by sharpest_asp

signalboost is for getting the word out to others about people needing help in some way.

Current Mood: cheerful

Over at

bnha_fans, we're running a Rec Fest again, and I posted the announcement on the first day for the first time in what feels like 70 years ;v; XD Sadly, it seems like the bug in which, if a journal or comm is set to default to nsfw/18+, it won't show up on the Latest Page feed for the event even if the post itself is marked "No Ages Restriction". Sad that the comm contributions won't show up there, but since this post will be, hey! Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia fans out there, we're running a Rec Fest if you're looking for new fanworks or have some you'd like to rec! :D

Looking forward to see the various ways people participate this year! :D If this is your first time (or not, for that matter), you might enjoy the blogging questionnaire

ysabetwordsmith shared a few years ago. That was a good time, replying to a question a day and reading people's answers!

Hello! It's Saturday, which means it's time for a Free for All. :3 There are no themes to follow for prompts or fills. Btw, if you perhaps missed a prompt theme that you liked, or you've had any ideas that didn't really work with Tuesday's or Thursday's posts, then today's your chance to prompt 'em. Be free, and have fun! ✎

Just a few rules:
1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
3. Use the character's full name and the fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
4. No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
5. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
6. If your story has possible triggers, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Are today's prompts not catching your eye? No worries, because we have plenty of older prompts that just might do the trick! You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site: please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site, but you are still more than welcome to participate. =)

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word! comment_fic

A friendly reminder about our posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed.

So today's embalming fluid accident was my fault. I caught the bag on the packing staple and that fluid shot out of the bag like a fire hose. Everywhere. But most especially all over me. Whee. No fresh shirt this time. At least it was only a half day.

And the other exciting thing that happened was late tonight. I'm on the phone with

evil_little_dog who might join me for 1 night during the Bourbon City steampunk thing. So I was looking at the schedule to be sure the writing thing wasn't at night because they have NOT gotten back to me at all about my story. I didn't want to say we can go on this or that ghost tour or bar or whatever shenanigans we'll get up to so I check the schedule.

At first all I can find is the guests and found out two friends I didn't even know were going to be there are there. Yea! Nothing about the writing thing. Boo. So I click around and find the daily schedule and there is nothing about the writing contest. There IS however MY DAMN NAME up there as a presenter Saturday and Sunday. NO ONE told me this!!!!

No wonder my friend PQ gave me that look and asked me if I were sure I wasn't presenting. What the actual hell? My only thought is maybe, somehow it went to the other gmail that my phone uses (and I don't have access too) but there should be no reason for that. I know what email I gave them.

I am presenting in two weeks. I DO NOT HAVE ONE OF THE TALKS. When I never heard back I didn't make it up since I wouldn't need it til Gettysburg in August. Now I have to come up with this talk on Victorian/Edwardian wacky medicine that's 1 hour long from out my ass during finals. Kill me.

That said it should be fun.
