☆ [Exchanges] Chocolate Box assignments are out. I'm excited about mine! Already starting to brainstorm ideas for it. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something really cute for my recip. :) I hope all of you who are doing it are happy with your assignment.
☆ [FTH auction] Signups for the Fandom Trumps Hate charity auction open on the 13th. I'm definitely planning to participate again - I'll have three fic slots open. Anybody else? Imagine if we brought its 4-year running total up to 100k. IMAGINE. We would have to raise around 27k, which is a lot, but I think it's possible. I'll be posting more info and trying to promote it around once more details are up, because I really hope that people in my fandoms will participate. I like writing fic for this, but it's also nice when there are people offering things that I can bid on. ;)
☆ [Books] Continuing with Cherryh's Chanur saga. Still enjoying it. I like that this series has some very... alien... aliens. The methane-breathers (especially the knnn, but the others as well) are so interesting and weird! Though it's possible that it's just a novelty for me because I don't read much scifi.
☆ [Fanart] Haranonaka has a tumblr for her Vinland Saga art now: here. Lovely as always. Nidsk has also been posting some very neat things since the anime aired. Man, I need to catch up on the manga - I've only read a couple volumes of it, but it's so good. Unfortunately, the library doesn't have it, though I could ILL it. Or I could watch the anime, though I don't stream via Amazon, so that might be a bit more challenging. ...I've heard it's so good that in either format it'll probably be worth jumping through hoops for, though. Anyway, go check out those artists if you like that series, their stuff is great.
☆ [Photography] Nils Nordenswan - I came across this guy's tumblr for original photography recently, and man, I love it. He mainly posts b&w Finnish landscapes. Some of the ones he's put up recently are really minimalistic and beautiful, I'd even say abstract.
☆ [Charity] Short comic by Cat's Cafe about the wildfires in Australia. The author notes at the bottom have links to various charities to help people & wildlife affected by the wildfires. Probably the same link list that has been floating around and everybody has already seen, but maybe some haven't seen it yet.
