Managed to finish my
smallfandomfest prompt early this morning (only 2 hours late...).Signed up for the Fresh Femslash Salad Bar, figured I'd try my hand at it. If anyone has a particular femslash pairing they want to see (and you know I ship it or just ask, you never know - I haven't finished updating that list), feel free to request a pairing. I'm not quite sure what pairings I'll do, but that would be helpful to narrow it down.
Week 1 of the DCU Femslash February Comment Fest has started which is focused on drabble/short form, angst, and/or rarepair.
Wrote up a post at
supergirl_tv about current challenges/events happening, feel free to let me know if I missed any. I'm going to try do that monthly, but who knows.Also did a "First Kiss" prompt at basically all my communities that I run.
Finished my Hunting Party icons for
tvmovie20in20 - shockingly early! I of course had to use Nick Wechsler's character Oliver for the "Space" prompt in honor of the first role I knew him from Kyle from Roswell. I used also a lot more textures than I normally do with this set so hopefully they turned out ok. XD Seriously if anyone starts watching the show and enjoys it, please let me know! It's a really small fandom so the more the merrier.Fandom Snowflake Challenge: My Fannish Wishlist
Feb. 1st, 2026 03:56 pmrogueslayer452Challenge #05: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.
01. Icons Of: Huo Wensi and/or Huo Wensi/Luo Fei from the cdrama Detective L.
02. Recommendations of programs to create fanwork. This is quite a specific one because I've been itching for years to create something, from icons and graphics to fanvids because I have ideas. I used to have a program ages ago (Microsoft's Picture It!) which I created various things including graphics for the fanmixes I did way back when, but that was on an old computer and that program has long since been discontinued and defunct. I've been attempting to look for comparable programs, however my findings lead me to being confused and overwhelmed and a bit apprehensive on the legitimacy since some places are websites only instead of a program you download onto your computer, and even then I don't want to download anything that is going to take forever to load or cause problems, which I know is a risk for anything these days anyway.
So, my request is mainly for the graphic makers and vidders in fandom: what programs do you use, your pros and cons for them, how much of a learning curve there is and if there is good tutorial out there. Note that I mainly use my laptop, I don't do anything on mobile.

New Prompt: First Kiss
Feb. 1st, 2026 06:01 pmflareonfury posting in tonykateThis is just something I usually randomly post to my communities to try and spark some new fics! They appear when I remember post it, so sometimes it's far in between. But there are no deadlines.
Please remember that all replies to the prompt must be at least 100 words, but there is NO max in length or deadlines. Please post in a separate entry, not in the comments... and remember to TAG it! And have fun! :) And again no time limit!!! and feel free to mix with other challenges/prompts.

Bridgerton Season 4A
Feb. 1st, 2026 06:34 pmprofiterole_readsBridgerton Season 4A was fun!
I'm not big on the Cinderella vibe, as the other stories weren't fairy tale retellings, but I'm super happy that this season is finally Bi!Benedict's turn.

Reading challenge update
Feb. 1st, 2026 10:54 amganimedeA quick update on my progress for my reading challenge this year. My plan is to finish some of the series that I've got ongoing - I've selected 14 series with a total of 44 books. I've managed to read 4 books this month which is an excellent start. These are:
Spook’s: Seventh Apprentice by Joseph Delaney
Taken by Benedict Jacka
Chosen by Benedict Jacka
Hidden by Benedict Jacka
Seventh Apprentice was the last book of The Wardstone Chronicles series, so that's that all finished. It was a bit odd in that it was the last of the series but actually a prequel. And the series itself continues in The Starblade Chronicles which I've already made a start on. It's very confusing. The other three books - Taken, Chosen, and Hidden - are all from the Alex Verus series. That's the one with the most books so I wanted to get it finished early on. I've got another 6 left yet but I'm having a little break from it which was completely unplanned. I happened to see an intriguing book in the library a couple of days ago, so I'm reading that now. It's Doing Time by Jodi Taylor which happens to be the first book in the Time Police series! I didn't realise it was part of a series, it looked like it was a standalone novel otherwise I wouldn't have picked it up!
So this is what the full list of series looks like now:
Spook’s: Seventh Apprentice by Joseph Delaney
Taken by Benedict Jacka
Chosen by Benedict Jacka
Hidden by Benedict Jacka

Valentines Meet and Greet
Feb. 1st, 2026 03:04 amysabetwordsmith posting in allbingoI've been participating in snowflake_challenge, where lots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. While researching community activities, I came across the idea of thematic meet and greet events. That seemed like something which might work here, given a membership of several hundred people and a new theme each month. So I made one for this month's theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.
Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Valentines Fest.
