PokePod is Back!



Mine and [personal profile] javert's beloved little Poké Fest is back for another round! The DW is [community profile] pokepodproject and signups are open for another eight days (though they'll close early if 100 writers sign up, and we're about halfway there right now so run lol!) PokéPod Project aims to create a fic and podfic about every Pokémon. This is our second round and will focus on the Johto region (Generation Two.) 

I had so much fun modding this last year, and I'm so excited to fall in love with new mons thanks to there being stories out there for me to sink my teeth (and ears!) into. I hope my Pokemon-inclined friends here on DW will give it a go if it sounds like something you'd enjoy (or return and have fun with us again 😊)

Housekeeping!

A typo crept into the prompts for September 3rd - it should be 3 & 5, not 2 & 5. Sorry about that! Grab the prompts again if you need them.

2025 Eight-Character Challenge Prompts! )

Feel free to share your favorite combos in the comments!

There are no set minimums for works, and while [community profile] no_true_pair has traditionally been fic/art, if you're inspired to work in another medium, go ahead! Works can be romantic or platonic or the space in-between. The prompts are for inspiration; you don't need to justify how you got from the prompt to the finished product and interpretation is up to you. You are welcome to swap numbers around on the "1 asks 2 about"-style prompts if it works better, etc. ^_^

Further posting instructions will follow once we're closer to the posting dates. If you have any questions, please ask!

Battleship 2025 Wrap-Up

Battleship is over (well, it's technically still in the anon period, but the game part is over) and I've been meaning to post this wrap-up to my journal for a while but I guess I was a little burned out from it all. Which is nice in a way, because I'm burnt out following a flurry of productivity. I hadn't written, podded, or made art in ages, so it was a happy burn out, and I've ignited again since ^^

I was on Team Strawberry - we came second! I had a really fun time this year. The first half of the event was where I went the most ham, hitting work cap for board one, then boss wordcount cap for boss one. Then I unfortunately got hit with a bunch of withdrawal symptoms after tapering off some medication, where I could only function for a few hours a day. It suuuuuucked. I had to take a week off work, and I might have overdone it by using the small amount of energy I had in the mornings to make things rather than do the adult thing and rest.

I'm almost completely recovered now, and have caught up with commenting on my awesome gifts. If you'd like to come and look around the event's shiny collection (of 3,500 works!!) you can find it here.

Now I've gotten over my burnout, I'll hopefully be posting on here more again (I have so many drafts started!) If you took part in Battleship this year I'd love to hear about your experience too.

Fancake Theme for August: Marriage of Convenience

Photograph of a young Vietnamese couple in a sunny urban environment, with added text: Marriage of Convenience, at Fancake. A bride in a white dress and sunglasses leaves her groom behind at a bus stop. The bride is smiling and carrying a bouquet of lilies as she hikes up the long skirt of her dress and walks away. The groom is in the background, wearing a dark grey suit and sitting on a bench. He's blurry, but it looks like he might be smiling at her.
[community profile] fancake is a thematic recommendation community where all members are welcome to post recs, and fanworks of all shapes and sizes are accepted. Check out the community guidelines for the full set of rules.

This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!

No True Pair 2025 Eight-Character Challenge Sign-Ups!

[community profile] no_true_pair's 2025 Eight-Character Challenge is open for sign-ups!

[community profile] no_true_pair is, loosely, a mad-libs-style challenge. You make a list of characters, a set of prompts is posted that uses all the characters in different combinations, and you create works using those characters.

For example, if your list contained Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse as numbers 2 and 4, there could be a prompt like "2 & 4 go out for coffee" or "4 invites 2 out for dinner, except..." and you'd write Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse going out for coffee, or Mickey Mouse inviting Darth Vader out for dinner and then going from there.

1. Leave a comment with your numbered list of eight characters.

As per previous rounds:

β€’ your list can contain characters from one fandom or different fandoms
β€’ you may use your original characters
β€’ you may have more than one list (as many as you like)
β€’ every character in your list will have a prompt with every other one

2. This is a low-pressure challenge. Signing up does not obligate you to create anything.

3. Tell your friends and have fun!

4. If you have any questions, just ask!

5. The Schedule:
Signups Open - August 1st
Prompts Posted - ~August 11th
Posting - September 1st-28th
Amnesty - Thereafter (Amnesty is currently closed until September 29th)
