+ [community profile] scanfic is a DW comm for Scandinavian fanworks and fandom discussion; posting is allowed in Scandinavian languages and in English. I hope this comm takes off; I'll probably be a lurkbeast as usual, but even the small amount of discussion posted so far has given me valuable language practice. (I've been neglecting Norwegian so much... /o\)

+ Today was exhausting. I was out the door at 7:30 for a blood draw appointment that my dumb ass scheduled for 8 AM, and it just kept going from there. I was running around doing errands all day, and then had to go help out with a judo fundraiser because most of the people who'd usually do it weren't available... Didn't get home until close to 5. I am beat. x_x

+ And tomorrow I get to run around again! For more appointments, more life stuff, and more fundraising. orz. (Why can't it be another long weekend? Aughhh)

+ One of my friends is running a Gofundme to pay for some unexpected vet bills for her cat. If anyone could throw a few bucks her way, I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

If you're looking for nonfandom icons, I suggest taking a look at [community profile] fancylittleboxes!

There are some fandom icons on that comm as well, but the nonfandom ones beat them out by a large number.

I'm not familiar with the user who makes them; I just really like his work a lot. His sense of style really works for me.

[community profile] recthething is a new fanwork reccing comm. You can post recs, and you can ask for recs. Multifandom, all pairings/ratings/etc welcome, all fanwork mediums OK.

It doesn't have the restrictions that some other reccing comms have. For example, WIPS are OK, the work doesn't have to be recent, and you can rec work by your friends.

I'm going to have to see about crossposting some things over there.

☆ Norway trip is booked! Hooray! I'll be 15 days over there in August/September, if you exclude the flight days. And the cost wasn't as hellishly expensive as expected, probably because of booking early, which is pretty sweet. Right now I'm too overwhelmed to be properly excited, but I'm sure once I come down from that I'll be very pleased. ;)

☆ Offer signups for [community profile] fandomtrumpshate are still open until January 31st! More info over here. They have over 500 offers so far, apparently.

My offers for this will be 3 slots for fic up to 5k for aRTD, SSSS, or Hetalia; I'll post more info on that when it's available.

[community profile] fandomforoz is a fandom charity auction raising funds for people and wildlife affected by the Australian bushfires. It's run in a similar way to FTH; the main difference in the signup is that you only need to fill out the form once even if you're offering multiple slots. Signups for offers are open from now until Feb 08. If you know someone who might be interested, please let them know! FAQ | Signup info/form link

I'll be offering small-scope fanworks for this project. My offers for the Australia auction will be:
+ Fanfic up to 2k, any fandom I've written previously.
+ Poetry up to 20 lines, any fandom I've written previously.
+ Basic SPAG beta up to 5k, any fandom, any content.
If any of that sounds relevant to your interests, keep an eye out - I'll post more information when it's available.

Seven Steps To Moderating A Fanworks Exchange guide by [personal profile] muccamukk. Looks like there's lots of useful advice in here! Check it out if you're thinking about running an exchange and aren't sure where to start. ...Sometimes, I seriously consider it, but I don't think I would have the patience.

☆ Book rec: Welcome to the Pine Away Motel and Cabins by Katarina Bivald. It's told from the point of view of a ghost who tries to help her friends and family get back on track with their lives after her early death. Set in a small town in Oregon. Colourful cast of characters. I couldn't put this one down; stayed up late last night so that I could finish it, which is atypical for me. (I'm paying for it today, but I regret nothing.)

[community profile] holiday_wishes: Post a wishlist! Get your wishes granted! Grant wishes for others! Can be fandom-related things or nonfandom (or a mix of both). Posting guidlines + rules. Posting of wishlists will be open until the end of 2019.

[community profile] in_a_peartree: Post a list of requests (your "tree"), and others will fill it with gifts ("pears"). Cute! Requests are open until Dec 01. I've heard it compared to the In Small Packages event, which I haven't participated in. Rules & request post here. Haven't decided if I'll put up a request list, but I'll definitely be looking at what others are asking for.
yuuago: (Nirvana in Fire - MCS x JY - Tea)
So! There is a Nirvana in Fire comm on DW: [community profile] nirvana_in_fire

Might be good for those who enjoy DW-style discussion/meta and so on. :D

I can't think of anything to post right now, but maybe in the future. :)

Aaaand all this reminds me that I should do a rewatch... (But I should finish RoP first.)

Just a bit of linkdumping on this lovely morning~

✿ I recently stumbled over [community profile] 100words, a weekly prompt comm for drabbles (the strictly 100-word kind). Haven't written any yet, but I probably will soon - this week's theme is impending doom, which is perfect for some of my fandoms. :D Perhaps some of you might join me?

[community profile] poetry is a comm for sharing published poetry. (Not your own work - there are other comms for that). I didn't know this one existed until a couple of days ago. Maybe some of you have some things you'd like to throw on my reading feed? I'll try to think of some to do the same. ;)

✿ Nom stage is continuing for [community profile] rareshipsonice (AKA the Yuri on Ice rarepair exchange). Tagset is over here. It's a pretty huge tagset so far, but if you've been thinking about this exchange, might want to check to see if your favourite pairs are in there, and add them if they aren't. (I'm probably going to sign up... or maybe just do treats... hmm.)

✿ Kickstarter promo: Odie is a comic book inspired by Homer's Odyssey, told from the point of view of a corgi trying to get home. :D I'm not familiar with Aaron Sullivan's writing, but the art is by Elli Puukangas and Karoliina Hankonen, who I've recently become a fan of because of their webcomics (Tistow/Small Trolls/Year in Hereafter), so I'm excited about it. There are only a few days left on this one, but it's already fully-funded, so the project is guaranteed to happen.

Aaaand that's it! (And now to stop procrastinating and... get ready for work. Sigh.)
