#unlisted fandoms challenge

Unlisted Fandom Challenge

Two days ago, at our last Unlisted Fandom Challenge update, we had a 3-way tie for first. Today? One of those fandoms has taken the lead AND a new fandom that hadn't had even a single signup before has jumped all the way into a 4-way tie for second. Your fandom could do the same, in the hours still left before signups close!

At present, our leaderboard looks like this:

7 Danny Phantom

5 Carmen Sandiego (2019) 5 For All Mankind 5 Tortall 5 Yu Yu Hakusho

4 Ace Attorney 4 Alan Wake/Remedyverse 4 Formula 1 RPF 4 Ted Lasso 4 The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison 4 The Stanley Parable

3 Greek Mythology/Religion 3 Buffyverse 3 Bungo Stray Dogs 3 Call of Duty 3 Detective Conan 3 Dragon Ball 3 HBO War 3 Kingdom Hearts 3 Persona Series: 3-5 3 Professional Wrestling 3 Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb 3 Shades of Magic - V. E. Schwab 3 The Mummy films 1999-2008 3 Undertale

Given the way Carmen Sandiego came from *nowhere* to tie for 2nd place, a single signup really can shake things up! And for the next few hours, signups are STILL OPEN! Do the thing!

The rest of our unlisted write-in fandoms under the cut for length -

Strip the Data, Salt the Misinfo: A Borderlands Fanbase PSA/Rant

TL;DR: The current Borderlands wiki sucks huge balls for anything after and including BL3, but it also sucks for other reasons and the best way to fix it would be just to nuke it and move on to Miraheze.

I am a huge Borderlands fan. It's my special interest, in fact. Everyone knows that. I'm quite invested in the community, though not as much as I would like to be, despite my constant attempts to garner attention in various places that are not named Tumblr. In fact, I am invested enough to frequent various sites focusing on this video game series.

And there is a major problem with one of the biggest sites dedicated to it:

The Wiki.

At first, it seems like a good place to get information regarding the series, both its gameplay and story. But you would be solely wrong.

While it does provide accurate information on the gameplay, guns, loot and boss attacks of every looter shooter entry, it is massively lacking on the story front. Especially after and during BL3.

Let's look at some examples.

This is Krieg's quote page. Not only is every single one of his BL2 quotes displayed, it's also got the audio files for all of them!

But the BL3 ones? It only transcribes the base game ECHO logs he talks in. No audio, and none of his many, many PKatFF lines.

In one of his videos, the youtuber ItzTermx compares Krieg's quote page and Fl4k's quote page in an attempt to showcase the superiority of BL2's dialogue. But in reality, Fl4k has significantly more quotes than Krieg, they are simply unlisted on the wiki. Where are they then, you may ask?

Fucking TvTropes of all places, not the main wiki.

I used the quote pages as an example, but this isn't the only case where this disparity is true. Check the wiki for yourself, and you'll see that every single BL2 and TPS quest, main or side, has a detailed transcript. What do the BL3 quests get?

This. A plain objective list.

And this is not even touching upon the incredibly incomplete - hell, MISSING Crew Challenge pages, and of course... the critical lack of lore/character information.

I will use a youtuber as an example here yet again.

This is EruptionFang's video on Wainwright Jakobs. EruptionFang is widely the most popular Borderlands lore youtuber, if not the only one that actually has a somewhat large following.

In this video, he openly says we don't know how he met Hammerlock. This is a blatant lie! We do know! An idle line in DLC 2 reveals that they met on a hunting expedition!

Of course, getting through idle lines is a slog, since you're likely to get repeats, so there must be an easier way to access this information.

Does the wiki say anything about it? No. But you know what does?

THE LOCALIZATION FILE. WHICH I DATAMINED MYSELF, BECAUSE THE WIKI IS SO INCOMPLETE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BULLSHIT THAT IS? PEOPLE USE THIS WIKI AS A RESOURCE, AND SAID RESOURCE IS VERY INADEQUATE.

You might ask: "why don't you contribute yourself, then?"

You see, the Borderlands Wiki is well, a Fandom Wiki. The site that's known for being infested with ads and autoplay videos, which are 99% of the time completely irrelevant to whatever you're viewing. There's a reason I use Breezewiki.

Fandom is awful to use, and especially difficult to browse through. It's an accessibility issue, something you definitely don't want in a place meant to provide information. I am not willing to contribute to such a place.

You might ask, then, is there an alternative?

This is Miraheze. It's ad free, community run, and non-profit. It uses the same software as Wikipedia, and provides a similar, accessible look. If this community managed to move there (and toss a coin or two to Miraheze, they're accepting donations!), we could foster a significantly more accessible environment.

I hope y'all enjoyed reading this edition of me malding over something seemingly innocuous. Before anyone asks, yes, I allow sharing of this post to other websites. The Borderlands community deserves to be aware of this.

I could have sworn I posted a WIP of this but…apparently not? Here it is, a little peek what I’ve been working on. Not for anything in particular, not commission, not patreon, not submission, just…something challenging, time consuming, and fun for me. Technically I started this back in December, with a two month gap in between the last time I picked it up and now. I’ve been hinting that a lot of shite has been going on and planning a big personal exposé when the time was right, but I don’t think I’m going to do that. The short version: I quit my job of six years. It was fine for a job…but it was not good for me. I moved. I left Boston, back to Maine, my home state. The move was extremely stressful, much more so than it needed to be, for reasons unlisted here. I love my new home and new studio. I’m fighting the little voice telling me I’ve failed because I had to leave the city and am back in a place I worked hard to leave. But for now, I know this was the right thing to do, and am enjoying the space and the quiet. I burned out. It didn’t feel like burning out at first. I kind of checked out of sharing things on social media (save the bare minimum to keep my page alive) because my interest in…well, almost everything fizzled out real hard for awhile. The thought alone talking to anyone (short of a few certain friends and family) felt exhausting, forget posting, writing, replying on social media. I didn’t give a shit about algorithms and numbers before nope-ing out for awhile - for a split second, I did, and it felt awful. So I’m done with that. I took a break. I’m still kind of taking a break but am starting to look forward to sharing things again (and starting to enjoy and have energy for other things too. Cooking. Reading. Gaming. Going outside.) That’s some of it. There’s other stuff that I won’t be divulging on the internet. I’m doing well, much better than I have been the past few months. Thanks for reading, if you’ve made it this far–thanks for being here and looking at my art 🖤 I’ve fallen behind on a lot of things I love, artwork I follow, comics, writing, fandom stuff…I’m looking forward to catching up.

An A/B/O-themed Marvel Bingo

There might be more cause temptations everywhere. But I maybe also should chill a little since I am already at 15-ish events.

Fictober19 Day 22: Stompy Boots and Unconditional Love

Prompt #22: We could have a chance.

Fandom: Good Omens

Characters: Aziraphale, Crowley, Warlock

Rating: General

Warnings: None

On AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/20843936/chapters/50291660

“Good morning, darling.” Aziraphale kissed Crowley on the crown of his head, smoothing his impressive bedhead, and set a cup of coffee down in front of him. “Sleep well?”

“Urglh.” The angel had turned out to be a disgustingly cheery morning person, possibly because he avoided the whole grogginess business by rarely sleeping. Crowley was not. He took a swig of the coffee, relishing the heat and the aroma. Aziraphale had already added the three sugars and a splash of vanilla. “‘Sgood coffee,” he mumbled.

“Thank you. One egg or two?”

Crowley was about to moan that he wasn’t alert enough to even contemplate food, and could Aziraphale kindly knock off the cheerfulness before he, Crowley, discorporated, when his phone buzzed.

“Huh. Video chat request. Don’t recognize the number. Wazzit mean when the phone number starts with one?”

“America, I believe. Do we know anyone who’d be calling from America?”

Crowley suddenly felt completely awake. “Warlock.” He tapped the “accept call” icon.

“Hey, Nanny,” Warlock said. His hair was longer than it had been last time they’d seen him, and he looked older. That would only make sense, Crowley thought, since it had been just over four years since the disastrous birthday party. “Is Brother Francis around?”

Aziraphale shuffled into the camera’s view and gave a little wave. Warlock didn’t seem surprised by his straightened teeth and clean-shaven appearance, any more than he’d been about Crowley’s non-Scottish accent and masculine presentation. “Hello, dear. Are you quite all right?”

“Yeah. Thanks for the birthday presents. The fountain pen is great, and I love the drone.”

“That drone is only to be used for wreaking havoc and annoying your security detail,” Crowley said severely. “If I hear you’ve been using it for benevolent purposes, I’m taking it back.” In the smaller picture window, he could see Aziraphale cut his eyes toward him disapprovingly.

Warlock grinned. “Yes, Nanny. Except I don’t have a security detail any more. My dad got fired.”

“Oh.” Aziraphale was clearly torn between sympathy and a most unangelic schadenfreude; Ambassador Dowling had been a deeply unpleasant man. “I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be. He deserved it: up to his neck in shady deals.”

Crowley laughed. “Why am I not surprised? But how did you find my number, Warlock? I’m unlisted.”

“Wasn’t that hard. All your letters use the bookshop as the return address, and it was just a matter of identifying numbers assigned to your neighborhood and ruling out any that actually got paid for.” Warlock hesitated. “So, should I call you guys Crowley and Aziraphale, instead of Nanny and Brother Francis?”

“You can call us whatever you like,” Crowley said, and Aziraphale nodded behind him. “We’re easy that way.”

“It’s just so lovely to get to see you again,” Aziraphale added.

Warlock gave the grimace of a fifteen-year-old torn between affection and the need to preserve some veneer of aloof coolness. “Do you mean that?”

“Of course!”

“We miss you very much, dear boy.” Crowley said, a trace of Nanny’s accent creeping into his voice.

“I miss you, too,” Warlock admitted. “America sucks, and the kids here are all weird. But,” he dropped his eyes, hesitating, “if you really wouldn’t mind seeing me, for real, we could have a chance. To see each other, in person. Y’know, if you want.”

Aziraphale nearly grabbed the phone from Crowley’s hands, but Crowley managed to hang onto it. Just. “Oh, that would be delightful, dear! Do you want us to come to America?”

Crowley wrinkled his nose and silently mouthed “America?” He’d do anything for those he loved, especially Aziraphale, but America’s political situation right now made him want to drink himself into a stupor. It was too much.

“No, actually, I’ll be in London in a month. Just for a few days.”

“Oh, that’s great!” Crowley said, relieved.

“My parents are shipping me off on one of those grand tours for rich brats.” Warlock rolled his eyes. “Two months to see all of Europe.”

“Two months?” Aziraphale sounded scandalized. “That’s hardly enough time to get to know even one city, let alone all of Europe.”

“Yeah, but at least it’s two months away from my parents. So, would it be okay if I see you while I’m in London?” For a moment, Warlock looked much younger than his fifteen years, and Crowley’s heart swelled.

“Of course, my dear. Just try to keep us away.”

*** ***

It was miraculously easy to convince the tour’s chaperone that Warlock should be allowed to spend all his London time with two strange men. The boy had grown lanky and was nearly as tall as Aziraphale now.

“So can we go to Camden Town?” he asked excitedly. “I hear they’ve got some wicked shops.”

“Of course.”

“And Pizza Express? I’ve always wanted to go.”

Aziraphale looked scandalized. “Dear boy, if it’s pizza you want, we can do much better than that.” He caught Crowley’s meaningful raised eyebrow, and added, “But if your heart is set on Pizza Express, then of course we’ll go there.”

“Cool! And I want to see the bookshop.”

“I’m sure Aziraphale will be glad to give you the full tour,” Crowley laughed. “Just don’t touch any of his books, and you’ll be fine.”

“We should do something educational while he’s here,” Aziraphale suggested. “Not all shopping and eating. Perhaps the V&A?”

Groaning, Crowley let his head loll back in exasperation. “Angel, no fifteen-year-old kid is going to be interested in the costume collection at the V&A.”

Aziraphale’s lower lip protruded just a bit. “They have other exhibits.”

“Yes, but you always want to go look at the clothes. I swear it reminds you of when your clothes were still in style.”

“The costume exhibit sounds cool, actually. I wouldn’t mind that,” Warlock said. He glanced up at them nervously. “I kind of like clothes. I was thinking I might study fashion design in college.” He seemed to brace himself for disapproval.

“That sounds so exciting!” Aziraphale gushed. “I’m sure you’ll make a splendid designer.”

Crowley threw a fond arm over the boy’s shoulders. “You’ll do great. Just make sure you use lots of black. Black is cool. Oh, and make clothes for everyone. Boys, girls, nonbinary, skinny, fat—”

“Able-bodied and disabled,” Aziraphale added.

“Yes! And for people with sensory issues. Everybody deserves to live with style.”

Warlock had brightened considerably. “So basically you want me to do everything for everyone, but make it fashion?”

Crowley felt a pang of sorrow and anger at the boy’s relief. Given how dreadful his parents were, he probably hadn’t received much reinforcement or support for his dreams. “You can do anything you put your mind to, Warlock. You’re a very remarkable boy.”

Aziraphale added, “We are very proud of you, my dear.”

Warlock’s lip trembled a bit, and he darted in to hug both of them. Just for a few seconds, until his innate teenaged too-cool-for-adults instinct kicked in, but for just a moment Crowley could feel the raw ache for acceptance flowing out of the boy. He swore that the next time he saw the senior Dowlings, he’d jinx them with something hideous for letting his boy feel so lonely and unloved.

Three days passed all too quickly, in a blur of laughter and silliness and earnest discussions about style, symbolism, and the inherent nature of the universe, and soon they had to return Warlock to the tour group, loaded with bags of the finest goth and goth-adjacent clothes, books on fashion history, and the newest and sleekest electronics.

“Now, take care of yourself, and have fun,” Aziraphale said, adjusting the collar on Warlock’s jacket. “I expect postal cards from every major city, understand.”

“Yes, Uncle Aziraphale.”

“And I expect you to disrupt the system wherever you go, and to challenge everyone’s assumptions at all times,” Crowley added.

“Yes, Uncle Crowley.” Nobody could drone tiredly like a teenager, but Warlock’s lips were twitching at the corners.

“Now, give us a hug, and be a good boy.”

“And fight the power.”

One last hug for each of them, and Warlock was stomping up into the tour bus to join the other rich teens; Crowley noted with pride that the boy’s shiny new black platform boots were particularly well suited for stomping. Warlock waved from his seat as the bus pulled away.

“Our little boy is growing up,” Crowley said, slipping his arm around Aziraphale’s waist as they watched the bus shrink in the distance.

“He’s a fine young person, indeed, my dear.” Aziraphale cleared his throat. “My influence, of course.”

Crowley laughed. “Of course, angel. Shall we see if we can get him to visit again next summer?”

“Oh, I’d like that. I’d like that very much. Oh, and maybe when he’s a bit older, he can come study in London! The University of the Arts has an excellent fashion program.”

“I’ll see what I can do to convince him.” Somehow, Crowley didn’t think he’d have to work very hard to convince Warlock. Even if the Dowlings wouldn’t support a degree in fashion, even if they disowned their child in a fit of pique and narrow-mindedness about what was appropriate for a regular boy-type Y-chromosome-man-child, Warlock would know he could always count on unconditional love from his weird uncles. Crowley would make sure of it.

Convention Vid Show Question

VidUKon 2019 Feedback Notes

It's been a little over a week since VidUKon, so it seems like a good time to post up some of the feedback notes from the final panel of the year and the end-of-con feedback session. First up: panel notes!   https://vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/39561.html

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MetaVidshow Discussion Post: Be Gay, Do CrimesVidUKon is a vidding convention held in the UK. This year they're trying something new - inviting people to watch one of the vid shows online and then comment.   The vidshow is "Be Gay, Do Crimes "   https://vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/39913.html

 Vid Me Closes (on building our own vidding platform)

This article is about why the site VidMe closed, but provides fascinating insights into the state of things; particularly hilarious TO ME are the "Insights for Newcomers," i.e. what they learned for people who want to try to do this: If you’re considering building your own video platform, here are a few suggestions....  https://cesperanza.dreamwidth.org/594255.html  

 YouTube Vidding Contest Strategy

Vidding strategy is not a thing I usually think about in those terms, but here we are. I entered a youtube vidding contest and the first round was scored and "The Engineer" finished tied for 13th out of 19 entries.   https://seekingferret.dreamwidth.org/307266.html  

 Vids With Dialogue

I hate, hate, hate all these vids with the dialogue left in.   

https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/374581.html?thread=2192738613#cmt2192738613  

  VidUKon Vidshow Discussion Post: 2009 Retrospective

This is a new thing we’re trying - we love talking about the vidshows at the con itself, but we think there’s scope for further discussion here on Dreamwidth, where folks who weren’t able to attend the con can get involved too. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to watch the show and join in! We’ll be running these posts roughly once a month, initially featuring shows from VidUKon 2019.  https://vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/39170.html

 FanVid Recs Thread: Special Request

Nonnies, please give me funny crack vid recs? Any fandom, any ship. I need something to laugh about today.  

https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/374457.html?thread=2190469817#cmt2190469817  

 Good Omens FanVid Takedowns

I've never understood how fanvids persist against takedowns at all, especially the popular ones.  

https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/374457.html?thread=2189939641#cmt2189939641  

 FFA FanVid Recs Thread

music vids, AMVs, edits, supercuts, mashups, etc. Ask for recs or just drop a link to something you like!

 Newbie: I'm a newcomer to vidding and wondered if I could have advice to learn the ropes.

If someone could help me learn the ropes that'd be lovely.   https://vidding.dreamwidth.org/395455.html  

 The evolution of #vidding trends be like

2012 - heavy colorings, catchy songs, crossfades, overlayers, texts 

2019 - almost to no coloring, clean cuts, minimal editing, trailer-ish instrumentals 

2020 - no coloring, no editing, no music, just play the damn episode would ya?  

https://twitter.com/anJaaXx/status/1139404158820220928  

 Do you ever have an amazing idea for a vid but lack the confidence to actually make it

cuz you’ve never done something like it before and don’t want to screw it up? Now try having that for like 4 different ideas...so frustrating #Vidding #VidderProblems    https://twitter.com/hollywoodgirl05/status/1137771341635964928    

You know the feeling when start project so inspired and then get to some part of song and you just can't move past it? For weeks... And then start to hate whole song and part of project you already finished. Yeah. #Vidding #Viddingproblems   https://twitter.com/TheMica993/status/1134759868605390848  

 Reading it made me think of lumi_nation and other fellow vidders who see & hear music as movement & color, hear color as music, and so on. There are many of us. We don’t often talk about it outside of con suites and panels, but we exist in our special little universes. #vidding   https://twitter.com/Bonibaru/status/1132780458494910464

 Vidding and/as Pedagogy Vids explore themes related to the source material(s) they remix and rework. In a vid, the juxtaposition of moving images and music, as well as careful sequencing, cutting, and pattern construction, work together to communicate the vidder’s messages.

Vid Society: discord server dedicated to editing/vidding We are a friendly content creator-based community, mainly for video editors (but also for various other artists), with a passion for anything fandom and art related. Join our humble family and feel free to stay as long as you like!

Vidding Styles There is a difference between completely ripping off a style to the point it's just the same video with a different song and taking inspiration, then adding your own spin. While nobody has 'ownership' over a style.... I'm tired of seeing basically the same videos everywhere.  

https://twitter.com/xOurConnections/status/1150547423841771520  

 Current vidding status: 

Vid for which I have clipped that seemed fun: now seems silly and tropey. 

Vid I have most excellent song for is for a show I thought was ok, but for which I'd need to learn new vidding software. 

Vid I've pottered with for years now has corrupted files.  

https://twitter.com/BrokenMnemonic/status/1149750471156015106  

 Your favourite well-made music vid.... I am an old and don't listen to music radio, so in the last twenty years, my main way to discover music less than thirty or forty years old has been through very well-made fan videos. So please rec me yours with the appropriate link

  #viddingpetpeeves 

When someone vids ship and uses voiceovers or scenes related to the competing ship on that show. I just always think to myself Bro, that's off-limits" Is this super petty of me. Don't hate me. What are some of your pet peeves, #vidding community  

https://twitter.com/IATFirstGlanceI/status/1146041935074922496  

 VidRecs.com

#vidding friends, for the last couple of weeks I have been exploring (link: http://vidrecs.com) vidrecs.com! (Some of you may remember I mentioned it briefly at #vidukon.) It's very new but it looks as though it could be a really cool resource!  

https://twitter.com/llintrek/status/1144966906690134016    

I just posted my first #fanvid to #Instagram. 

It is an old VCR-era #Titanic vid #Titanicedit #fanedit #vidding (link: https://ift.tt/32FnCPR) instagram.com/p/BzKUNThjCZr/ https://twitter.com/morgandawn6/status/1143897561394110464 

  nothing has demotivated me from vidding more ...

...than youtube and twitter. lost channels on youtube 5 times and twice on here. i know i can unlist, but i don't like doing so. now i'm just waiting for july 27th so my strikes can clear off.

https://twitter.com/RuksarCreation/status/1148686654904983557  

 call me old fashioned but I am really not a fan of the youtube vidding trend..... of putting dialogue over the whole fucking thing. I can deal with a bit here and there but for a 3+ minute song?? I imagine you picked the song for a reason, let me hear the lyrics!!  

https://twitter.com/leanwellback/status/1140679467406376961   

 ...fanvideo styles getting more & more reduced, 

is it even fanvideo editing in some cases anymore....  i guess vidding is living on borrowed time anyway.    https://twitter.com/disasxter/status/1139406005723230208

 Technical 

VIDDING TECH: WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR HELP?

After a decade as a Mac vidder, I am about to buy my first Windows machine and start vidding on a PC.   https://laurashapiro.dreamwidth.org/382846.html Sharing Your Fanvids To Instagram

 Instagram limits the number of external links you can use in a post. Up until last year, they didn't  support longer vids or links to external websites, preferring to keep the material "in house." If you have a streaming vid on Youtube, Vimeo or your own website, you can still promote it on Instagram    https://morgandawn.dreamwidth.org/1667645.html

Mac Vid Encoding Vids on Mojave

LlamaEnc is not currently compatible with macOS Mojave.  

https://fanworks.dreamwidth.org/10195.html

 Request: Vid Tagging Assistance, Vid Streaming Alternatives  

Requesting assistance in tagging vids using Excel (2013/2016/2019). If you have Office 365 this would be ideal as we can collaborate in real time similar to what you see in those ads for Google docs co-authoring where you see the names of people typing as flags. Additionally, if you have ever wanted to get up to speed with Excel for work or to get work this could be one way of doing so while also watching and tagging vids. I teach Excel as well  

https://vidding.dreamwidth.org/394837.html

 Video Analysis Software

Any idea if any vidders have played with this (or related tools) yet? #fandom #vidding ML-powered automatic video editing app released recently   

https://twitter.com/arnicas/status/1143800870896832512 

  Quick question #vidding community

Is there any other way besides rewatching the source materiel a hundred times to connecting clips to the lyrics? Is there some sort of trick I'm missing?

https://twitter.com/IATFirstGlanceI/status/1139669286581092357  

  Vidding friends, I'm about to make the switch from Mac to PC vidding.My better half is building me a machine. What should I know? How much RAM/what kind of hard drive? Is there a solution for converting iTunes source? (feel free to DM me) Thank you!

ARY’S FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!

We hit 1000 followers this week!  Thank you guys SO much!  You guys are the best!  To celebrate, I’m hosting a fantastic weekend!  Next weekend (September 15th and 16th) I will be doing, blurbs, headcanons, and follower ships!

Details below the cut!

I’m also linking a post bout my writing challenge and theme day HERE and HERE

GENERAL RULES:

- everything must be non-nsfw, so no smut/lemon requests or submissions of any kind

-it must be a reader insert request (*see blurb-specific rules)

-I will write for any character in my masterlist, any Seb or Chris E. Character (except Jeff G, just... no), any DC character, and any Chris Pine character.  The only exclusion is villains (Loki is not a villain) and Bucky.

feel free to ask if I will write for a certain unlisted character :)

-PLEASE SAY SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU ARE REQUESTING: A BLURB, HEADCANON, OR SHIP

HEADCANONS:

-No ship headcanons!  So please do not ask for Stucky, Winterwidow, not even Winterwitch headcanons, please

-All headcanons will be added to my master list, but they will not be tagged under anything

-Request examples:

“Dating Thor would include…”

“How would Lance react to you first telling him you were pregnant?”

“could you please write headcanons for Frank Dating a plussize!reader?”

SHIPS:

-Send in a description of yourself and some of the things you like and/or enjoy doing.

Example: “I’m 5′6″, have green eyes and black hair, I like to run and swim, I really enjoy reading.  I can be the mom friend sometimes, but a lot of the time I’m sarcastic.

-SPECIFY WHAT CHARACTER GROUP/ FANDOM YOU WANT TO BE SHIPPED WITH! 

(Ie. can I have a Seb ship?  Can I be shipped with a DC hero? etc)

BLURBS:

-This is a bit different as I will allow this to not be reader-insert if requested.

-A blurb is not a whole 1000 word fic.  They will probably be less than 500 words each.

-Request must be short, but still fairly specific

Example:

“Can I have a blurb about Lance getting sick with the flu and how the reader takes care of him, please?”

“A blurb about Steve’s first thoughts as he woke up from the ice?”

“a blurb about your first date with Tony please?”

ANONS WELCOME!!!

My #BellLetsTalk story: An Update

Last year I made this post which dealt with my feelings not long after my diagnoses. Today I’m going to talk about how I feel a year later.

___

This year (2018) will be my second year participating in Bell Let’s Talk since my diagnoses, and I kind of feel like looking back. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression towards the end of 2016, which made 2017 the first year that I’d participated in Bell Let’s Talk as anything but an ally, and it’s a little weird being on the other side. I didn’t really realise the significance of this day until after I was diagnosed. Before, I’d use the hashtag a couple of times and voice my support for those suffering. Now, it’s much more important to me. Last year I wrote a five-ish page thing about how I was coping and what helped me along (besides the meds and therapy). This year, while I do want to touch on some of the people who helped me, I want to spend more time looking at how much has changed in the last 12 months.

So, to gloss over last year, I began taking meds, and I became rather active in both the Supernatural and Thomas Sanders fandom online. As I stopped binging Supernatural, my activity in the fandom decreased, but I remain very active with the fanders on Tumblr to this day. Tumblr became a good place for me to be more vocal about my mental health. And during this time, I found online communities to be somewhat of a safe-haven (especially since I was still living in Nova Scotia at this time and away from my loved ones). During this time, I began attending therapy as well, though it didn’t last because my therapist went on holiday and I knew I’d be moving soon, so I stopped booking appointments. I want to go back into therapy. I need to do some research first (in regard to places I can go in my city) but therapy was rather beneficial, and I’d like to resume it. 

I moved back to Ontario in October. And, for the most part, living with my parents again has been very beneficial to my mental health. I may forget to take my pills more often, now that I’m spending a lot of my time with my family, but I also don’t feel as mood-swing driven as when I would miss a day in Nova Scotia. I just feel more hopeful here. Maybe it’s the change of scenery or maybe I just really love my family, but I do feel so much better, particularly in regard to my depression. Social interactions still give me anxiety, but I am looking into ways of slowly becoming more social.

Being social for me, beyond the sphere of the internet, is very difficult. I have trouble opening up and trusting people. But I know I need to be more social. Bridging my comfort of the internet and my need to become more social, I’ve started making monthly video diaries which I post to YouTube (these are unlisted, however). But I’ve also begun filming and editing several other videos relating to my interests and mental health because I’m looking to challenge myself. And posting vlogs or other videos publicly is a challenge for me. But it is something I’m also really eager to try, and that’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a while. Years ago, writing may have been a challenge and a new adventure, but lately, it’s become something safe. It’s more something I use for escapism or as a coping mechanism now, so having a new challenge is extremely exciting.

I don’t know what this year has in store for me but, for once, I am hopeful and ready to go along for the ride.

This was originally posted on my facebook page but I’m posting it here too.

June Slytherin New Stories and Chapter Updates

As always, the Snakes have been mad busy writing. Here is the first round of June New Stories and Chapter Updates!

New Stories:

Title: The Art of Being Nonchalant (Or Not) Penname: starbuck Link(s): The Art of Being Nonchalant (Or Not) [M] Fandom(s): Harry Potter Main Characters: original female character, James Sirius Potter (and the rest of the next gen kids) Main Pairing(s): James Sirius Potter/OC Genre(s): Drama, Romance Summary: 

"Have no fear, Quinn Jones."

Apparently, it is a truth universally acknowledged that I, Quinn Jones, a full-fledged Gryffindor, am actually afraid of three little words.

What a load of nonsense.

Title: Limerence Penname: ssslytherinnn Link(s): HPFT (M) Fandom(s): Harry Potter Main Characters: Dominique Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, OC's Main Pairing(s): Dominique/Scorpius Genre(s): Angst, Romance, Mystery Summary: 

Dominique Weasley had always seen herself as that meek girl with ink on her fingers and a nervous heart. The girl who faded into the background. The one you did not think twice of. To her that was never going to change. Until one day an opportunity arose that she could not pass up... a chance to study under one of the greatest living artists in the Wizarding world. Soon she would find that she was a lot stronger than she thought.

Title: We, Lawbreaking Citizens Penname: Rumpelstiltskin Link(s): +HPFF [Mature] Fandom(s): Original Fiction Main Character(s): Original Characters [Cyril Bernard and Mark Van] Main Pairing(s): Unlisted Pairings [Cyril/Mark] Genre(s): Action/Adventure, Crime/Mystery, Dark/Horror, Fluff, Romance Summary:

The War revealed many truths about humankind...the most important of those truths is that all humans are innately inclined to violence and chaos. We are hosts to an entire horde of plaguing ailments like jealousy and greed and we lack the physical and emotional capabilities to cope with such diseases. That is how the War started. That is how the world ended. That is why there is a grand nothingness on the Outside, beyond the walls of the Sovereignty.

My name is Cyril Bernard and I play a highly important role in maintaining the peace and overall wellbeing of our wonderfully prospering society (despite what that Mark Van said because what does that peacebreaker know anyway).

Written for scooterbug8515's “Anything But Harry Challenge” and just.a.willow.tree's “Love, _____. Challenge”

Chapter Updates:

Story Title: That's All Pen Name(s):  beyond the rain Fandom: Harry Potter Link(s) and Rating: HPFT(M) Site(s) Posted On: HPFT New Chapter Number: two Summary:

“Don’t.” A voice croaked, rough and unsteady.

Remus had grabbed at her wrist, his grip softer than his voice.

The drugs were wearing off, or they’d never worked in the first place. His eyes began to adjust, and Clara saw the moment he recognised her.

Story Title: Lightning Love Pen Name(s): toomanycurls Fandom: Harry Potter Link(s) and Rating: Here M Site(s) Posted On: HPFT New Chapter Number:  8: Release  Summary:

Love strikes as fast as lightning and burns as slow as the sun for some. With others it takes many attempts to combust and backfires with an unpleasant bang. For some the spark never comes at all.

What will be the love story of Lily and Lysander?

Their romance seems like a sure thing until you throw into the mix a houseful of young adults at Burrow plus the large Potter-Weasley family and anything could happen.
