Aaaah I’m very excited to read this once I have finally finished this work deadline and launched into what will be 24h of intense, last minute Christmas prep. Will be the perfect break activity between cleaning, shopping, wrapping and a little baking.

The Spirit (Complete) - With Alternate Endings

I may not have finished what I wanted to but I do have one holiday fic that is complete that I think will be an enjoyable holiday read. This one, though, I couldn't make up my mind on, so it does have two endings - chose at your will.

I had forgotten that Fluffcember is a thing and was wondering about the sudden deluge of what I thought was Flufftober reblogs. Sometimes I need to learn to read the whole word XD

We're recruiting!

Given that now our blog runs 3 major recurrent events -two of them month-long events that require us to reblog many works in a very short time- and we're also organizing Holly Poly, we’re currently looking to expand our tumblr moderation team.

We're looking for more tumblr mods who can help us:

reblogging content we are tagged on following - our tagging guidelines (expect extra activity on March and October)

adding works to the queue to keep it running

crossposting other event posts as needed

We’re looking for someone with the following:

a tumblr account for moderation

a Discord account to communicate with the mod team on our server

18+ years old and comfortable reviewing content of all ratings

good familiarity with tumblr

experience working in a team

attention to detail e.g. for ensuring tags are standardized

ability to use html formatting, making graphics, or willingness to help run any AO3 collections/exchanges we do would be a bonus (This is 100% optional. We want our new mods to focus on tumblr specifically)

Do you want to see your fandom(s) in our blog more often?

Additionally, we're looking for Fandom Experts who can find new polyam works in their fandoms to help us expand our content and represent its diversity better.

Putting the term "male gaze" on top of the fridge until everyone remembers that it refers to a cinematographic trend and not the act of looking at things while being a man

All fanfiction authors have praise kinks in the form of comments and likes

whether it’s intentional or not (i think mostly not), i love that mulder’s memory of samantha is depicted differently throughout the show. i think it perfectly conveys just how much he repressed the memory of her abduction. the place, time, actors are different, and it has this eerie, nightmarish atmosphere that shows us how deeply it haunts him

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

Finally got my next @fourormore Bingo fic up, for the prompt "Birthday Sex"!

Title: Happy Birthday to Me

Fandom: The X-Files

Ship: Fox Mulder/Dana Scully/Sharon Skinner/Walter Skinner

WC: 2451

Summary: It's Mulder's birthday, and his partners manage to coax a secret wish out of him.

Read on AO3 - Read on SquidgeWorld

Hope you enjoy it! Just one more prompt and I have my first (and probably only) bingo...

A Very Dulles Christmas

Rating: Teen And Up

Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings 

Category: General

Fandom: The X-Files

Characters: Dana Scully, Fox Mulder 

Additional Tags: Christmas, Christmas Fluff, Christmas Presents, Domestic Fluff, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Friendship, Season/Series 03, Post-Episode: s03e19 Hell Money, Pre-Episode: s03e20 Jose Chung's From Outer Space

Series: The X-Files 2024 Christmas Collection 

Part: 7/25

Tagging: @baronessblixen, @spooky-jordan, @randomfoggytiger, @today-in-fic

Words: 4,713

Summary: Mulder and Scully have now gladly put the recent events regarding The Festival Of The Hungry Ghost behind them. All they want is to just get home to their own beds because it's very nearly Christmas Day. That means their own versions of normality. Mulder desires a mental reset from the weirdness they just encountered in San Fransisco. Scully wants the same. Does one come? Yes. Although... Not without answering the old adage of, "Be careful what you wish for."

been meaning to redraw that Lynn Buckham's painting as Mulder and Scully for awhile, so here it is! the original painting + close-ups are under the cut

featuring my favorite character, Scully's lavender skirt suit

also if you're wondering whether the watermark on my art gets bigger every time: yes it does indeed. I need to add it to the places where it can't be easily removed because I'm very tired of that happening specifically to my x files art

I kind of suck at tagging, so I made this infographic to help make it easier.

Apologies for the delay on the announcement, assignments went out on December 4th as planned. We had eight initial pinch hits this year, and all of them were sent out to the pinch hit google group yesterday. Half of them were quickly claimed over there, but we have four still left in need of claiming. See below for general details. More specific information can be found by clicking the links.

This year, we will do a pinch hitter treats sign-up post, so that anyone creating a pinch hit fanwork who is not signed up for the main exchange is able to potentially get a treat made for them - keep an eye out for our post about that.

Before you start your assignment, please make sure to familiarise yourself with the exchanges rules, including fanwork minimums. Also, to make people aware of it, we have now added a new rule to clarify our policy on AI. The new rule added to the FAQ is as follows:

Fanworks should be your own work, newly created for your assignment - AI generated content is not allowed.

#3 - The Witcher (TV), One Piece (Live Action TV 2023), crossover - Fandom, Lost (TV 2004)

#5 - Havenfall is for Lovers (Visual Novel), The Elementalists (Visual Novel), Fate/Grand Order

#6 - Animator vs. Animation (Short Films - Becker), Video Blogging RPF, Battle For Dream Island (Web Series), ONE - Cheesy Hfj (Web Series), Inanimate Insanity (Web Series)

#8 - 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga), Katekyou Hitman Reborn!, Kuroko no Basuke | Kuroko's Basketball, DCU (Comics), Danny Phantom, Death Note (Anime & Manga)

If you're interested in claiming any of these pinch hits, send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com with your AO3 name.
