Friendly note that I did the thing I said I was going to do and have started a comprehensive guide on organizing and running fan week events! You can see rough versions on @soyouwannamakeafanweek, but the fully edited iterations of everything will be up on the SYWMAFW website.

For the moment there's only the base guide, which is a little under 4000 words breaking down the 12 (+ 6 optional) steps needed to organize and run this kind of project. It includes basic information on just about everything I could think of, with more expanded secondary guides currently in-progress.

The next one is going to be entirely on graphics (because I've noticed that seems to be the biggest stumbling block for a lot of people in creating these projects), and will come with a host of free-to-use resources created by yours truly!

It's a pretty big undertaking, but I'm really saddened by the number of younger folk in fandom who seem to be under the impression that the only way to participate in a collaborative fan project is to get accepted into a big expensive fanthology (they aren't zines, can we stop calling them zines yet?) which means that anyone under the age of 18 is prohibited from participation entirely due to legal risks. This isn't the case at all, and I want to do what I can to help instill that understanding into modern fandom.

Hey, it may be a long shot, but is anyone here in or around Santa Rosa, California? A young queer friend-of-a-friend there is getting kicked out of their home, and I'm trying to connect them to resources.

I've just got off the phone with a youth services hotline, and am trying to get through to a supposedly-open shelter (James E. Coffee shelter), with no luck.

They have a place that's dry and should be safe to sleep tonight; without confirmation that the youth shelter is open and has a free bed, they are scared to leave where they are until the morning.

I'm gonna keep calling around, but any info and resources from people in the area would be much appreciated.

BIG NEWS! I AM OPENING COMMISSIONS!

WOOHOO! I recently hit 1,000 followers so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to give this a shot! I've never done paid commissions before so please be patient with me as I work all this out :) !!!! Aaaaah Exciting!!!!

If you're interested, take a look at the google form below!

For future reference if the form's closed, it means I'm currently not taking commissions. I'll post about it when it opens/closes.

I will might try experimenting with more specific commission types in the future (sketch pages, character sheets etc.) but this is what I'm putting up for now.

Hi all

I had hoped I wouldnt need to do another ko-fi goal but things are getting worse in the UK for trans girls like me who are diy HRT-ing.

With it looking like I won't have employment anytime soon, Im in desperate need of getting my meds asap, so if anyone can help, either through donations or just sharing this post, I'd appreciate all the help.

Maybe Lilith's prompt is not exactly one you'd like to see, but that's why you should come on and join us at the upcoming Warrior Nun Commentfic Fest!

Starting June 1st and going up to July 31st, I'll be running a little party over on Dreamwidth, the link to which I'll provide as soon as it starts.

It's pretty simple: you pop up in the comment section of the post where the event will occur, you leave a comment with a prompt (say, "Ava/Beatrice, training so hard in Switzerland that one of them gets hurt and needs to be nursed by the other" or "Jillian/Suzanne, the morning after Adriel's defeat" or even "Any, actually finding Mary", the possibilities are endless) and then you wait around to see if anyone makes that fill, perhaps by filling another prompt someone else left yourself.

The catch is that you need to limit your story to the comment character limit. As it's 16.000 characters, you should be fine!

Anon prompts and fills are allowed, so you don't need to have a Dreamwidth account to participate -- even if it would be nice so as to allow you to track the post and any new additions to it or to edit your entries should you make a mistake (if you're going to post on anon even while having an account, though, you still won't be able to edit) and also because DW is just pretty dang cool.

Watch out for the link to the fest, it'll be posted as soon as it starts!

where there is darkness

pairing: dean/cas tags: historical au, angst with a happy ending, slow burn, h/c

Maine, 1951: When Castiel Milton takes a job to be the new assistant keeper at Whaleback Lighthouse, he expects to live out his new life in quiet isolation away from civilization. What he gets instead is Dean Winchester: bitter, brash, and, like Castiel, harboring a dark secret. As the spark of attraction between them grows into a flame, the lighthouse walls start closing in—as do the ghosts of Dean and Castiel's checkered pasts.

Chapter 10 & 11

In which Dean and Cas, finally alone in the lighthouse, have a soft moment together and more of Cas's dark past is revealed.

How to help Mexico in the aftermath of Category 5 Hurricane Otis

On October 25th, at 1am, Mexico was hit by a massive hurricane that erupted into a Category 5 from a tropical storm in a matter of hours and hit Acapulco with a population of nearly 1 million people in the middle of the night with no warning.

Some things that you need to know: Otis, has been the most powerful hurricane on record to hit Mexico's Pacific coast. There was no warning from the media because of the sudden acceleration that caught many by surprise — just 12 hours before making landfall, it surpassed all forecast. There is no media blackout at all, you can look here, here, here, and other media. Help is arriving sporadically since all the roads to the port city were completely destroyed, the city was left virtually isolated from the outside world since Acapulco is at the foot of steep mountains. Otis toppled every power-line pole in the zone, leaving the city without electricity.  Acapulco’s municipal water system was down and around half a million homes lost power. There is a shortage of gasoline, since it was contaminated mainly with water and sand. It could take more than a year for Acapulco — a city where the main economic income comes from tourism — to recover; with no power, gasoline, little cell coverage and all hotels wrecked by the hurricane.

A preliminary analysis found that the cost of Hurricane Otis could be comparable to that of Hurricane Wilma, a hurricane that hit Mexico's Caribbean coast 18 years ago. Losses from that storm amounted to $2.7 billion (2005 dollars). This is a massive disaster and we need all the help we can get. Currently, most funds received will purchase food, water and supplies from Chilpancingo (the nearest city almost 2 hours away) to be transported in and taken to the most hard hit areas first.

Many organizations are now flocking to Acapulco to assist in relief work. You can support their efforts:

CNN Impact Your World

World Central Kitchen Relief Team

Fundación San Ignacio de Loyola

Cruz Roja Mexicana, I. A. P.

If you can donate something please don't go to gofundme, do it through stablished organizations, if you can't please reblog we all can help with a little something.

Emergency Commissions (Pricing here) to save my 9month old Kitten Edward who was just recently diagnosed with FIP and I am not in a good financial spot atm and not sure how much it'll be to get him the meds he needs to get better and beat FIP.

He's just a little baby at 9 months old and I want him to have a long and happy life with his brother Alphonse, the top cat shown below and give him all the love, treats and snacks he very much deserves as he is such a sweet boy. He's been such a trouper through all the poking and prodding at the vet

If you rather donate I do have a gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-edward-beat-fip

Any donation big and or small would be very much appreciated 💗 even if you can only donate a dollar it would still help so very much thank you 💗

[chevaliermalfets]

hiiii I know there's a lot of fundraisers going around but if anyone has a few dollars to spare, we're trying to raise money to build bathrooms for a school in togo. currently the students and staff just need to relieve themselves in the bushes which is obviously Not Great and leads to the spread of diseases like cholera

Heehoo Jeffrey Combs fans (and spooky movie nerds) ! Does anyone remember that one gif of Jeff as Milton Dammers goofing off ? It was a night vision shot, very green and dark. It was rumored to have been part of a cast lipsync to 'Kung Fu Fighting', iirc.

My question is.

What happened to that video ?

a friend of mine literally owns SEVEN versions of the movie on DVD and Blu-ray and hasn't found it. Where does that gif come from ?????

@fuckyeahjeffreycombs Any idea ?
