Happy new year everyone! I hope 2025 will bring you a lot of joy, health and love. Live long and prosper! I'll try to be more active on here in 2025.

[1lostone]

*happy sigh*

I just read a fic by @cate-adams (post #KiScon) that made me just sigh with all the love. It was a good way of ignoring the current dumpster fire of American life... It's called Release, and it's on AO3. https://archiveofourown.org/works/60419233

Well, friends, I've never done a whump fest before. I'm very excited to try. I am enough of a weenie that I have to have the hurt/comfort at the end (well at least for most of them, one or two of the prompts surprised me.) It's pretty multi fandom as I go through the prompts and start planning what I want to do. So far, for shippy fics I have Kirk/Spock, (duh of course who bleeds prettier than Jim?) Aziraphale/Crowley, Sterek, Bones/Spock/Jim, and Rickyl. Some surprises (for me at least lol) The Doctor and Donna (not shippy) Ellie/Alec (very shippy) Ellie and Joel (not shippy). So .. yay!

FEBUWHUMP 2024 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through a suggestion poll (in which we recevied 2,281 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where over 1,000 people voted for their favourites. the top 29 make up the core prompts, and a mixture of the next most popular - and this blog's personal favourites - have become the alternates

i’m so excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and hope they’re inspiring enough to trigger a whole month’s worth of creativity for you! if you have any questions, please check out the blog's faq before sending an ask, or check out the previously asked questions on the blog!

please note: this year, notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form that will be released closer to the end of febuwhump.

In one of the MELE playthroughs I'm following, the player is about to reach the "About Horizon" email and it has reminded me of something that really surprised me when I started to interact with fandom content.

It had never crossed my mind that that email could be seen as something bad. I mean, I expected it from the Kaidan haters who love to twist everything he says, but I have even seen it from some shenkos.

The guy starts by saying he's sorry about what he said in Horizon and then tries to explain what was going on in his mind. Yeah, he mentions seeing someone else, but he's just being honest and straight forward (as he has always been), two things that are essential in any relationship, romantic or not, specially if there's been a fight and you are trying to mend things. Plus, it's been two years for him and he never says he has found love. In fact, everything sounds pretty reluctant and casual. And even so, he then goes to say that everything turned upside down when he saw Shepard and is obvious that he wants to talk with her again and try to patch up their relationship.

Overall, I have always thought that it is an email from a very confused yet madly in love man.

Side note: I have the Spanish version and they messed up a bit with the translation and instead of Kaidan going out on a date with some doctor, they made it sound as if he was having a drinking problem and went to see a doctor for help 😅

I’m almost finished writing an amazing Kirk/Spock fanfiction! (At least I like to think it’s amazing). I’ll let you know once it has been published! I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer. I’m in Croatia on vacation and also to visit family.

[1lostone]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a sec to remind you that if you are still planning to submit to the KiScon Zine, there is still time. The deadline is 1 August, and that is *counts* 21 days from now!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!!

(those that can signal boost to other K/S fans, please feel free!)

A (very belated) KS Advent Roundup!

I posted this in our kiscord, but tumblr now has a character limit. Here is a lovely pdf for you for ease of clicking.

Rules

Voting is open from 10 September to 1 November, 2023 (11:59 p.m. EDT). You do not need to be a registered KiScon member in order to vote; voting is open to every K/S fan.

In each category there will be a Gold (first place) and a Silver (second place) winner.

The winners will be announced during KiScon 2023 (3-5 Nov). Each winner will receive a certificate and a small prize; we will contact the winners after the convention weekend.

You need to be logged into your Google account in order to submit the voting form; this ensures that people do not vote multiple times for the same work. If we suspect sockpuppet activity, we will get in touch for clarification. We keep the voting process completely confidential! Only the KiScon concom will see the submitted forms.

In each category you can pick one work.

You can submit the form only once, but you can edit your responses if you need to add or change something (just follow the link in the email you receive after submitting the form). You cannot edit your responses after voting has closed, so make sure you have picked your favourite in all categories that are important to you.

Yes, you *can* vote for your own work(s). We won't judge you. ;-)

And here's the link to the voting sheet!

I had been feeling an itch to play MELE again for months but, since I didn't have much time, I decided to just watch someone elses's playthrough. However, I found so much hate and vitriol towards Kaidan that I just went "whatever", and started a new playthrough to give my man the love he deserves.

So, here are Daphne Shepard and her boyfriend ❤️

(Kind of proud of how pretty this Shepard ended up being without any mods)

The K/S Gazette Newsletter

Greetings and Felicitations, dear K/S friends! Happy New Year! We hope those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are staying warm and that those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are keeping cool. We have so many fannish activities going on. Let's take a look... 1. Submissions for the KiScon 2025 con zine are open now!

It's a new year, there'll be a new con, and we'll have a new con zine! Our brave 1lostone and Alice West are reprising their roles as zine editors and look forward to working with you.  While we know this is currently a contentious topic, please know that AI-generated works are not welcome here as AI-generated material is in diametrical opposition to artistic integrity, based on plagiarism, and a substantial consumer of valuable natural resources.

We are looking for new and never before seen art and writing (both fic and meta!) focusing on the relationship between Kirk and Spock.

You can read more here!!

2. Comments Made Them Do It: the February comment drive

For the month of February, we'd like for you to bring a little self-love into your life. 😏

Think of a fanwork (fic, art, vid, podfic, etc.) you created that you would like to see more interaction with. Maybe it features a tag that isn't as popular. Maybe it just happened to be posted on a busy day and only a few people saw it. Maybe you're just really darn proud of it!

Send your link to 1lostone by email or by Discord message, and she'll post it in the #self-love channel on our KiScord. Then, we'll have a lovely list of recs for people to enjoy. For the purposes of this, we ask that the fanwork has been posted for at least four months and ask that only V'Ger, the creator, send it to 1lostone.

Inspired by and special thanks to the Voiceteam Mysterybox mods for their 'Spread Love' challenge.

3. Kirk/Spock Spring Fever 2025 is happening

Here’s the schedule for 2025: Sign-ups and prompt posts: open until Jan 31 ("sign-up" is only needed for submitting prompts, not for filling them!) Prompt claims and creation period: open until March 10  Works due: March 10  Works revealed: March 22  Creators revealed: March 26 The time for all these steps is: 12:01 AM UTC.

Rules and FAQs can be found on the AO3 collection profile. They are pretty much the same as in previous years, but it’s worth checking them out for a quick refresher.

117 prompts have been collected during January and are now waiting to be filled by authors, artists, podficcers, etc. You can fill as many or as few prompts as you want, and prompts can also be filled multiple times.  There's a dedicated #ks-springfever channel in the KiScord, for discussion and mutual encouragement, and announcements are also posted to Tumblr. 4. Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024 Masterlist Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024!  93 fanworks were posted throughout December, by 26 creators; the works consist of 55 fics and ficlets, 26 poems, and 12 artworks. The 2024 collection is now closed for posting. The K/S Advent Calendar will return next year for a new round.  You can find the masterlist (in chronological order) on Dreamwidth and Tumblr. Or directly check out the AO3 collection. 5. KiScon Bingo 2025

KiScon Bingo has returned for 2025! Ping our bingo mod 1lostone to get your card!

You can (and are encouraged to) interpret the prompts in any way you can, in any medium of fanwork you choose: fic, meta, podfic, art, vid, gifset, etc.

You can also participate as reader/consumer of fanworks! Filling your bingo card by enjoying fanworks and leaving comments is a wonderful way to join the fun.

You have until Dec 31, 2025, to fill your prompts. If your fanwork is Kirk/Spock or Kirk & Spock in any universe, and you post to AO3, please use the collection link (or put "KiSconBingo", without the quotes, into the collection field during the posting process)! If you use your card to post something outside of the Trek fandom, that is perfectly fine, but it won't go into the KiScon collection.

The "challenge" comes in here: If the prompt is just something that you're iffy on, you have the option of either ignoring it and filling another line, or challenging yourself to create it!

As for 'filling' a bingo card, it's meant to be low-stress. You can fill any way that makes sense to you. Some examples are: you may create one fanwork per square, or one fanwork that uses a vertical/horizontal/diagonal line, or even a fanwork (or several) that uses everything on the card! The "free" space means you do not have to write a fic for that spot. You do not HAVE to fill every space on your bingo card! Once you fill the fanwork, please post the fill(s) (and the marked out card) in ⁠the #ks-bingo channel on the KiScord so we can celebrate you! See the pinned directions there on how to embed your card in your AO3 submission.

Feel free to use this writing event with any other writing event that tickles your frals. (Some suggestions: K/S Spring Fever and the KiScon Zine!) Have fun, and get creatin'!

6. Spotify Playlist: Last but not least, we would like to rec a beautiful playlist that Romeo made, including suggestions from the KiScord crowd: Pon Farr Night at the Vulcan Nightclub!

I'm dusting off my angst whore days of yesteryear. :D I do promise the most fluffy and soft of endings because, as the tags say, I am a giant weenie.
