It's been 25 years since the family sitcom: FAMILY GUY. The second popular show along with The Simpsons. HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY, FAMILY GUY. I love this because it always because it always mention movies, video game, television references based on a bad pun a scene from it suddenly appears.

[nerds-yearbook]

The world was shocked when Superman died while killing Doomsday in Superman 75 vol 2, cover date January, 1993. Every page of the issue was either a single panel or splash page. ("Doomsday!" Superman 75 vol 2, Comic Events)

January Book Reviews: Masquerade in Lodi by Lois McMaster Bujold

Catching up with the Penric and Desdemona novellas now I can get them from the library. This is ninth in publication order but somewhere cryptically earlier based on internal chronology. Either was, this is not the first book and you should probably not start here. Penric is in Venice-analogue Lodi for the Bastard's Eve festivities-- but as a man with terminal main character syndrome, this is not fated to be a peaceful holiday for him. He's tasked with investigating a man who may be possessed by a dangerous demon, sending Penric on a wild chase across the city with a young saint in tow.

Bujold's writing is, as always, a pleasure to read. It's sleek and lovely, and the character voices are excellent. She has a gift for writing dialogue. This is why she's one of my all time favorite authors. However, compared to the rest of the Penric novellas, this is not one of my favorites. A lot of the novel is preoccupied with walking back and forth across the city on vague errands without a strong purpose (same issue I had with Cherryh's Hammerfall! it may be interesting to read about characters going across something Once, but by the third time it begins to pale.) This is especially noticeable in the relatively short page length of a novella.

Series highly recommended, but don't start here.

End of year book asks: 3, 9, & 17

Thank you!

3. Did consuming any piece of media inspire you to pick up the book? How did it compare?

Short answer is, nope! Mostly the media I consume is books, so it's rare that I would, e.g., see a TV show and only then realize there was a book series that it's based on. I am influenced by tumblr posts about books to read said books (some examples from the year: Ninth House, Summer Sons, Pamela Dean's Tam Lin), so if informal book reviews are a type of media, those might count!

9. What book(s) had the biggest influence over your life this year?

What a fun question! I read a lot, but some books I move on from pretty quickly, and others (usually series) I spend a lot of non-reading time thinking about, so I think those are the ones with a big influence even when I don't post about them or talk about them much. Here are some books that took up large chunks of my brainspace at various points in the year:

The Quinn Colson series by Ace Atkins - these are a little more violent/gritty than the mysteries I usually tend towards, and sometimes more "crime" than "mystery" but something about the characters and the writing had me absorbed

The Benjamin January series by Barbara Hambly - I do post about these some, I go through phases of thinking about them a lot. Started rereading the series (slowly) this year

Also by Barbara Hambly: The Windrose Chronicles - her writing is generally really good, but not all her characters grab me. These ones did, though

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold - spent a little less time absorbed by this one since it's one book instead of a series, but I did spend some time ~considering~ it

Honorable mention to the Hamish Macbeth mystery series, by M. C. Beaton, because I wouldn't have spent time thinking about it because of the tight plotting or characterization or anything, but there are so many books, and they are so quick and easy to read on my phone via Libby, that I spent the summer just tearing through them around being very busy at work, so they occupied my mind b/c I wasn't reading anything else at the time!

17. A book you reread this year. Did it hold up to how you remembered it?

One of my most recent rereads was The Dark is Rising, by Susan Cooper. It was interesting to think about the differences between reading it now vs. as a kid! I remember being around 11, and pretending that I was buddies with the character Will, who is 11 too, but who discovers that he is also an Old One, gaining knowledge and power beyond his years; I was like "Cool! I want to have powers, too! We will fight the Dark together!" Now I'm like hm, he never really gets to be just a child again, and the fight against the Dark will never truly end, this is maybe a little sad, too. Still a good book, though!

(Ask me end-of-the-year things from this list!)

well i think i know why this is happening to me now.

Lois January-Johnny Mack Brown "Rogue of the range" 1936, de S. Roy Luby.

[beeclops]

Season 5 of Harley Quinn premieres January 16th on Max!

The fifth season of HARLEY QUINN finds Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Ivy (Lake Bell) in a new location: Metropolis! – the home of all things Superman, Lois Lane, and the Daily Planet. Harley and Ivy discover that something sinister is at play and all is not what it seems. Looming threats include Lex Luthor and his sister, Lena Luthor, plus fan-favorite Brainiac. But of course, Harley’s crew of misfits and allies will join her on this irreverent journey that takes no prisoners in having fun in the DC sandbox. 

[superfambigbang]

Hi! Thanks for your interest in the Superfam big bang - we’re so excited to have you here!

While we hammer out details and taglists, this blog is a work in progress; pages will be updated as we get things sorted, and we’ll have it up and running by the end of the year!

What’s this all about?

There’s no big bang event for the Superfam!!!!!! and unfortunately both of us love these Kryptonians (and all the humans they’ve surrounded themselves with) so we had to. If you’re here you definitely get it 🤭

What’s the word count / art minimum?

🌻 at least 20k for Authors. 🌻 at least 1 x full colour art piece for Artists 🌻 at least 1 x full gifset (6 gifs) or 3 x images for Manip creators 🌻 We do NOT accept AI.

When are we doing posting?

Check out our schedule! [mobile link] Sign ups open April, 2025, and fics will be completed by January 2026.

Can I use a fic I’ve already posted / write a sequel to a fic I’ve already posted?

We are not accepting fics that have already been posted, unless the part you have posted is 500 words or less. For example, if you wrote a short headcanon post on Kenan and how he adjusts to interacting with Lois, and then want to write further on that concept via an interdimensional space adventure, that would be 100% allowed. However if you had written a 600+ word drabble on Kara being a horse girl, or a “what if Kryptonians had wings” AU, you would not be able to use that for this bang. The base concept of what we’re trying to do by limiting fics that have already been posted is to ensure that the artist & author match ups are random, and not based off someone recognising someone else’s work in an effort to get that partner. We want this to be a fun passion project, and a way to make new Superfam friends! This connects to sequels too: any direct sequel (ie. a fic that would require you to read the first one in order to understand the second) would not be allowed, but we would accept a spin-off or inspired-by fic. Think the Hobbit vs. The Lord of the Rings trilogy, or how all the Narnia books are in the same interconnected world, but are not direct sequels. Please just reach out to the mods if you want to use something that’s already been posted/want to make a sequel or spin-off to a different fic, and we can discuss it from there.

Are there any specific characters that are off-limits?

Think of the Bang like the fics / art are all issues from a Supers comic run: They can have guest stars, but it’s their show. While we won’t say characters are “off-limits”, we are making the limitation that if you are writing a fic that may feature another hero or team - ie. a Superbat or YJ fic - you either: 🌻 feature the superfam member’s POV at least 50% of the time or 🌻 the fic must be directly exploring the superfam member and their story and character

How are you running the posting period?

As the event doesn’t start until next year, we are going to adjust some things depending on the contributors we get and how the event runs, but! The major way posting will run is as such: When fics are complete, we’re going to check in with everyone via discord and see which of 2 preferences they have: If you want to participate in posting chapter by chapter, we will be enforcing a finalisation date - ie. that the fic must be posted in entirety by a certain day. There will be freedom to decide what the schedule is and how you divide chapters, but the “slow release” will still be a short period (ie. 1-2 weeks, depending on fic length). You would also need to discuss with your artist when they would post their art, and work together to decide the best time to link your pieces. The mods will also only be reblogging your fic to @/superfambigbang on the first chapter, and then when it is posted in entirety. While we will not edit the fic, if you elect for option 2, the mods will most likely contact you so we can check your project, as we understand a “slow release” is a non-standard way of running a bang project and want to ensure it goes smoothly.

The other way is, of course, the standard way a bang is posted; all at once / entirely posted on one day. Dates will be assigned while keeping in mind author/artist preference, however we will be trying to ensure space between each contributor so that the fics all get space to stand out ❤️

Can I sign up to beta?

Thank you so much for the interest! We’re going to see who within the event would like to beta first, and then potentially open a beta check in Jan 2026, when fics are complete.

Is NSFW / dark fic allowed?

If you write a NSFW or dark fic that’s completely fine, but be aware that the event is for all ages. If you write a fic that discusses sensitive or NSFW topics, we will request that any discussion regarding your fic be kept in the appropriate area on discord. If you violate this rule accidentally (ie. forget what chat you are in and post an implication of NSFW), you will be given one warning before you will be removed from the event. If you violate this in an extreme manner (ie. any nudity, explicit sexual references, explicit violence etc., in any area that is not the NSFW channels), you will be kicked from the discord and blocked from participating in any feature events.

Can we write for xovers?

As long as it features the Superfam you can write about whatever! Want Jon to end up playing Homestuck? Want Kon or Kenan to end up hanging with the Avengers? Want the Superfam to meet the cast of Invincible? Go for it! As per the other guidelines mentioned above, our one major rule is that it must be featuring the Superfam - this is a Superfam-themed event, after all!

Are we allowed to write more than one fic?

Keeping in mind that the minimum word count is 20k and we want to ensure that as many projects are completed as possible + we want to ensure match-ups work out, at this point in time writing a second will depend on if your first is finished, as well as how many artists sign up.

At the current point in time (and because this is the first time we've run a proper big bang together!) writing two fics will not be allowed unless one of them is complete or semi-complete prior to artist match ups, and the other has reached the minimum word count check-in for the artist sign ups.

Please reach out to the mods via superfambigbang@gmail.com if you want to discuss this further.

Where’s the discord link?

If you sign up, the discord link will be on the last page of the sign up form! However if you did not receive it, please feel free to reach out to superfambigbang@gmail.com and we’ll see what’s gone wrong.

We’ll also be running movie nights, sprints, and other games during the big bang period, so we hope to see you there! 💕

I just looked at the schedule - what is the November mini wrimo?

To encourage people to write and to make some fun interactive challenges in the event (and with NaNoWriMo’s unfortunate decision to be dumbasses), the mods thought it would be fun to set November as a mini writing challenge! If you sign up for the bang, you do not have to complete in the mini wrimo if you want to, but the option is there. The gist is, much like nanowrimo, a challenge to write a little bit every day - with challenges, sprints, and a badge at the end.

We’ll be aiming for 10k (350 words/day), so if you do sign up, that means by the end of November (and keeping in line with the other check-ins), authors will have 20k for the event, and will have plenty of time to edit and maybe start a new project! ♥

Who runs the event?

thanks for asking! that’d be @authenticaussie and @cer-rata. Nice to meet y'all! Please send us any questions via this blog or our official twitter, and we’ll get back to when you can. We hope you enjoy the event! See you soon!

If your question hasn’t been answered above, check our #faq tag or please send us an ask!

January 8th - 14th, 2024

Monday, January 8th - Sins of the Family // Isolation

Tuesday, January 9th - Prophecies // Deadly Devotion

Wednesday, January 10th - Superman Cults // Possession

Thursday, January 11th - The Forgotten One // A Hole in the World

Friday, January 12th - A Parent Knows Best // Eldritch Horror

Saturday, January 13th - It Takes a Village // Inheritance

Sunday, January 14th - Mistakes Were Made // Horror Movie AU

Purpose?

Not enough horror-themed fanworks in the world about the Superfam. Got jealous of the Batfandom having all these horror-themed events and projects, so I decided to host one for the Superfam.

Why should we participate in this?

Because you like seeing the soupeyfam in ever-increasingly fucked up situations that elicit a deeply-rooted, ancient dread :3

So how does it work?

The release date for fanworks is from Monday, the 8th of January through Sunday, the 14th of January, 2024. 

This aint a Halloween-themed event! You have well over three months to write, draw, and create fanworks. However, use the spooky season to help generate some ideas and propel you forward! :3

This an opportunity for people who’d like to explore the Superfamily characters, dynamics, and relationships through a variety of prompts. Although romantic ships are nice, please make sure the Superfam are the focus of your fanwork.

Superfamily characters include, but are not limited to:

Clark Kent

Lois Lane

Kara Zor El

Jonathan and Martha Kent

Jon Kent

Osul Ra and Otho Ra

John Henry Irons

Natasha Irons

Kon El/Conner Kent

Chris Kent/Lor Zod

Karen Starr

Kong Kenan

Superfamily characters of ANY comic book universe are acceptable. If you want to spend the entire fanweek exploring Ultraman and Injustice!Superman because you love drama, then be my guest! If you want Ultraman to kidnap Lois this time instead of Jon, go for it!! Let that imagination run WILD!!!

Darkfic, horrorfic, genre-specific work, and other both safe and not-safe-for-tunglr dot hell tropes are welcome. Just make sure that you post any Mature content on a landing page that doesn't restrict Mature content (like AO3). I don’t want anyone getting their blog banned. We cannot defeat our capitalist overlords, but we can definitely work around them.

This fanweek will not have a dedicated blog. These prompts are free for anyone to use. Because it is a non-traditional, non-monetized, and free-to-opt-in casual event, there will be no mods but moi, no advertising of paid services, and no ratings or participant restrictions. I will open a collection on AO3 in January for anyone who wants their work collated for this event.

In order to ensure that both creators and the audience are making informed decisions about what they engage with, all creators are encouraged to include triggers, ships, and any other squick warnings. 

Please utilize the read-more function for fanworks that are longer than 250 words. We're tryna read yer stories, not get spammed with a wall of text. Please Be Courteous.

And last but not least - if you are engaging with any of the fanworks, reblog, reblog, reblog! Share the work with your followers. Send all the love to the creators for crafting their masterpieces!!

What can I contribute?

Fanart (standalones, comic strips, etc.), fanfiction (one-shots, multichapter, etc.), fanmixes, gifsets, graphics, meme collections, fanvids, whatever your heart desires! Go wild!!!

Can I create/write not-safe-for-tunglr dot hell content?

Yes!!! All creators are encouraged to include triggers warnings, sub-genre specifications, ships, and other warnings in their posts. I will not discourage you from writing your 16k Kara-goes-evil fic, but please... Be Courteous and tag your fanworks appropriately so people can make an informed decision on what they're comfortable with viewing.

What does (X) prompt mean?

Each day has two prompts!! You can either pick a prompt OR you can combine prompts in different ways. Let your imagination take you where you want to go with each prompt!! If you want to explore both in the same fanwork, then be my guest!!

Mainstream Canon, Elsewords, and AU content is acceptable! Just make sure to stay within the comicsverse. Creativity is key! Have fun!!!

Can I crackship/multiship/harem/OT3/polyam the characters?

Absolutely!!! Just please remember that this is the Soupeyfam horror week, not the Lois-Has-A-Harem-of-Elseworlds-Supermen week. We love ships and things, but this week is about the Superfamily. The characters can have their lovers, but their personal romantic dalliances shouldn't overtake the Soupeyfam dynamics (unless you're pulling a Cersei and Jaime, lmao, if that's the case, go wild).

Does this have a tag?

During release week, use the general “superfam” tag to share your work with the wider Superfam fandom on tunglr. You can use whatever other tags you fancy. The best way to share, however, is to directly @ me so that I may reblog it.

I didn’t read a damn thing before this, Ava.

TL;DR: Over three months until the fanweek!!! For all fanwork creators out there, now’s the time to start thinking about what prompts you want to utilize for your creations. There are no creative restrictions, but I do ask that you follow these posting tips:

All fanfiction should be under a read-more.  

Not-safe-for-tunglr fanwork should be LINKED to whatever landing site the content is being hosted on (Twitter, AO3, etc). This includes both fanfiction and fanart. I don’t want your blog getting flagged bc tunglr hates gay people.

Provide content warnings for all triggers, squicks, and sub-genres. Unfortunately, in my ten odd years away from DC Comics, the fandom's seen a resurgence in puritanical behavior and tons of censorship and self-censorship. Please list content warnings on your work but do not be discouraged in sharing your work. If a fancop gets on your ass, block them. Please block as MANY as you can. They're like pests, they're always gonna be there, but their influence can be diminished by staunch blocking and reporting.

You can participate as much as you want!! Maybe you only wanna create for one day? Cool! Maybe you’re an overachieving corporate clown insomniac like myself, and wanna create for every day of the week? Go for it!!! 

The most important thing is to have fun :)

Truth be told, this event is entirely selfish. I personally love to the horror genre, and would love to see the characters in the Superfamily get more canon content as seen through beloved horror tropes. Unfortunately, Status Quo often gets in the way, and the current fanworks are largely ambivalent to the Dreadful and Despairing. If you'd like to join me in creating deliciously dark fiction featuring our favorite DC clan, please do! I would love to read your 10k character study of Otho and Osul assimilating into human society after spending their formative years as slaves in Warworld.

We’re over three months away from release week, so take your time, look through the prompts, and get your creative juices flowing! I will be sending out reminders until the go-live date.

For the people who showed interest during the initial interest check, I hope you're able to participate. To the four people who hate me, your mom's a hoe. Thank you.
