有些话我不敢当着你面说，就只能通过广播, there are some things I don't dare say to your face, so I had to have them broadcast

October sign up
Sep. 24th, 2026 03:01 pmlilly_c posting in writethisfanficIt's time to sign up for the October WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.
Sign-ups will be open until the end of October.
Copypaste below:
The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.
If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.
Sign-ups will be open until the end of October.
Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital art
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: n_otelli on X
Why this piece is awesome: This is Heated Rivalry-adjacent - featuring Hudson Williams from the Laufey music vid. I really like the clean lines and how with deceptively simple technique the artist exactly captures Hudson's likeness and the heat of the summer's day, the sun glinting off his skin and the drops of water. It's also very hot and sassy.

Sep. 24th, 2026 08:38 amnanila posting in awesomeersIt's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Dorian Gray (Corominas)
Sep. 24th, 2026 08:49 amflo_neljaCatégorie : Siegfried et l’alchimie du sang (Transmutation - Or - Trésor - Corruption - Elixir - Immortalité - Vampirisme - Invincibilité - Brume - Âme - Transidentité)
Une adaptation en BD d'un de mes romans préférés. Globalement, l'auteur a fait des choix, coupant une bonne partie des passages sur la satire de la société victorienne pour se concentrer sur le côté fantastique, distillé en scènes frappantes avec la progression entre moins résumée.
Le résultat est quelque chose d'assez réussi, mais qui n'a pas exactement la même atmosphère ou la même direction que le livre, même sans changements majeurs dans l'histoire. Ce qui pourra être perçu comme positif ou négatif.
Le dessin est très expressif, mais je l'aurais imaginé plus réaliste, l'existence de l'horreir gothique plus dissimulée. L'auteur a remplacé Dorian qui lit "A Rebours" de Hyusmans, par "Les Chants de Maldoror", et si moi personnellement je préfère, c'est une lecture complètement diféfrente du personnage, la quête du mal contre la quête du plaisir et de la nouveauté sans se soucier du bien et du mal. Cela a une cohérence, et la scène finale de Dorian est plus cruel mais grandiose, moins pathétique. L'auteur de la BD semble être tombé un peu amoureux de Dorian en écrivant, ce qui est intéressant en soi.
Je le conseille pour découvrir une variation sur le personnage, mais pas trop pour le découvrir sans avoir lule livre, cela pourrait être trop proche ou pas assez.

2. I got my hair cut this morning. Since I've started going on Wednesdays due to the stylist's new schedule I've discovered that it's streetsweeping on Wednesday mornings and no parking from 8am to 10am, but my appointment is always at ten, so I get there a few minutes before and the street is still completely empty and I can easily get a spot.
3. The Teams desktop app stopped showing a ton of old messages in dozens of different chats and channels the other day and nothing seemed to work to restore them (they still show up on my phone and on the web version so it's just a sync issue, but the desktop app is what I use at work all day) but I finally seem to have gotten it fixed today. I just logged out and logged in again, but somehow that hadn't occurred to me before lol. Instead I was doing all these other things.
4. He's just a little man!

some random art challenges
Sep. 23rd, 2026 09:00 pmomensMy bestie sent me this collection of October art challenges on bsky, and I think I'm definitely going to do this one:
(this is by a-macaron.bsky.social, since it's not in the image)
I think it'll be nice to have handy ideas ready for my watercolour doodling :)
( 2 more )
In somewhat related news, I started a crochet project today - a new blanket for the cat's heated bed. I spent an hour at it (basketweave) and it was great while I listened to vlogs.
But all morning while I was procrastinating on starting that, I BAKED a pecan banana bread (less sugar next time), and also made greek yogurt jello cups (no sugar free jello for me, thx), and budgetbyte's tuscan white bean pasta (it looks boring but it is a fave for a reason!). And dog food! Too much kitchen today, I will rein it in tomorrow 🙂↕️

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Tamon's queer friends 1 (Toi Yoh)

Utsui a été élevée par deux femmes en couple, qui lui ont toujours dit qu'elle pouvait aimer qui elle voulait. Elle se sent coupable de n'aimer personne.
Parmi les amis de ses parents, sa personnes préférée est Tamon. Iel ne lui demande jamais des nouvelles de sa vie amoureuse ; mais iel est aussi très bizarre, parlant à des créatures invisibles.
De nombreuses années plus tard, les recommandations de Tamon sur commment contacter les être magiques serviront enfin à Tamon, qui se fera une amie surprenante.
Je ne sais pas quoi penser de cela. En soi, le scénario queer le le scénario surnaturel n'ont pas l'air tant connectés que cela, cela donne un peu l'impression de lire deux hsitoires différents, c'est déstablisant. Mais j'ai trouvé certains sentiments très touchants, et le dessin très beau, comme peint à l'encre, et je réalise que j'ai envie de lire le tome 2.

More Xena fanvid stuff!
Sep. 23rd, 2026 11:03 amaurumcalendulaI found a Whoosh! article about a Jan 1998 convention that had a neat section on fanvids and talked about the author's efforts at making fanvids which involved using a camcorder, a VCR, and a boombox, before switching to digital. I'm so curious about the 1996 fanvids that were mentioned!
It sounds like from July 1998 through 2001 Creation was showing fanvids made by Matt at their Xena Conventions (and gave out free tickets in exchange for using them), which makes me wonder if they showed ones by other fans besides the Xenaversity folks. Creation said they didn't keep records of what fanvids were shown at their conventions, so I can't use that to narrow down the years of the Sept 1999 - 2001 ones, but I did find some con reports that mentions the fanvids shown (unfortunately not all mentioned the songs used, or who made them).
