Throughout November, I tried drawing as many traditional pieces as possible. I made it to five!

Of course, most of it is Veidt-related, but look! Judex and Filibus, there's variety!

Creative Fan Endeavors



Have you ever created fan art, fan fiction, or any other fan work for your fandom?
As it's written in my profile:
Fannish activities I have done: drawn fanart, written fic, made icons, made a fanfic masterlist, created fan characters, made very bad fanvids for myself that are now lost because old PC went kahput!


Can you talk about a fan project that you’re particularly proud of?
Denouement is still the best thing I've written. Tried being more descriptive and it actually worked!

How do you see creativity as a part of your participation in the fandom?
All I have to offer.

What’s your process like when creating something inspired by your fandom?
Get a brainworm (metaphorically) out of nowhere and then exorcise it by drawing/writing it.

Are there any tips or advice you’d offer to someone wanting to start creating fan content?
Do it. Just do it. There will be people who'll hate your work (and yourself) but fuck 'em. Do it still because you will have fun and feel fullfilled. Believe me.

Do you collaborate with other fans on projects or creations? If so, what is that like?
Never done that.

How has the feedback from the community affected your creative works?
Didn't draw for months :)

What motivates you to contribute your own creations to the fan community?
The need to exorcise the demons simply share, because you never know if someone out there needs something like what I've created.

Have any of your fan creations ever been recognized by the creators or actors involved in the fandom?
Well, most are dead. The ones who are alive, oh god please no never.

Is there a creative skill you’ve developed or improved on through your fan activities?
All of them. I think.

How do you balance originality and adherence to the source material in your creations?
Hahahaha

What’s been the most ambitious or large-scale fan project you’ve seen or participated in?
None, really.

Multifandom Community



Have you ever participated in a multifandom challenge where you were the only person from your fandom(s)?
Of course *cries in small fandoms*

Do you interact with multifandom spaces such as forums, social media, etc? If so, why do you choose this space?
Yes, because it's the only places I get to talk about my weird lil movies and no one bats an eye at them. Sometimes, some people have seen those movies and that's nice.

Have you ever entered a new fandom through fan content such as fic, videos, gifs, etc? Which one(s)?
Not really.

Have you ever organized a multifandom event? If so, which one? (Yes, promote yourself, babyyyy!)
Nom

What's your favorite multifandom challenge or event?
[community profile] threesentenceficathon! Always have a blast with it!

Have you or your work ever been involved in fandom wank that escaped containment?
...

Do you or any of your projects have a fanlore page?
Absolutely not, and I hope I never have one. I'm not self-centered enough to make my own, either.

Do you like crossovers? Have you created any crossover in any form?
Yes and yes. The latest one was a one-sentence fic crossover of Around the World in 80 Days and Ox Tales (it's called Bocas over here). Very normal.

What's your favorite piece of worldbuilding that you apply to multiple fandoms?
I don't... do that.

Do you have any trope or tag that you read fandom blind? Which one?
Not really. I don't do fandom blind.

If you've ever read/seen something fandom blind, did you want to interact further with the fandom afterwards?
I said... I don't do fandom blind.

How do you balance your time between fandoms?
Very badly. Poor Doctor Who. All sad and neglected...

[#282 | Catharsis] Challenge Post

fanweeklymod: (Default)
[personal profile] fanweeklymod posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Challenge 282:
CATHARSIS
n. purification or purgation of the emotions (such as pity and fear) primarily through art; a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension

Sometimes, you just need to feel things. A really good cry, a really good laugh, or a really good scream – whichever it is, it’s good for the soul. Sometimes you can get it through art, maybe a tragic play, or a comedy movie, or a romance novel; other times, you just need to confront your nemesis, or stand in the woods and scream, or laugh until you cry at something that isn’t actually funny.

How do your characters find catharsis? Do art or music work for them, or do they need something a little more concrete?

Write a story about catharsis.

BONUS GOAL: “Are you okay?”

[personal profile] rattfan posting in [community profile] fan_writers
I've been pondering two questions regarding posting fic online. One involves chapter length. I know this can vary tremendously, but what do people actually prefer? I'm not a fan of very short chapters; I read fast and find there's not enough to settle into. In terms of number of words, is there a preferred range? I've been cutting them at around 4000 words, sometimes less, sometimes a bit more if I can't find a good spot to break it.

The other question is posting something that you haven't finished writing. That's something you never do in pro writing, of course, but it happens quite a bit with fanfics. Perhaps the author is hoping for input to help them decide where to go with it. I do surreptitiously go back and fix things I didn't notice first up, whether or not anyone has seized on them!  But I like reading the comments and responding to them. And kudos, of course, are how fanfic writers get 'paid.'

So is there an acceptable length of time between posting chapters? Is it too annoying to have it go months between chapters, as I admit to sometimes doing? I do have notes and a vague plan for the ending, but not certain atm just what will happen between now and then. So I'm debating whether I should finish the thing first before releasing any more chapters into the wild.

Something Unconventional

Dec. 2nd, 2025 01:36 pm
romanajo123: (twelve)
[personal profile] romanajo123
 I introduced a Tumblr friend to the UCG, and realized I hadn't done a post like this in quite awhile.  Let's see what happens...

(DW,  Once Upon a Time,  Jane Austen.   And anyone can grab these summaries) 

675) The Marriage Market by Leigh Michaels
A wedding assignment?
Harry Sullivan loves running his own business, and finding a wife is far from the top of his agenda. But his friends are convinced they've found the perfect way to meet eligible women - too busy with their careers to play the dating game, they decide to throw a party and each invite two gorgeous, unattached females.
Sarah Jane Smith is surprised to be on the guest list, but not as stunned as Harry when he comes face-to-face with his biggest business rival — who happens to be far too arrogantly sexy for his peace of mind. Only, Sarah Jane seems convinced she can solve all Harry's "problems," professional and personal, with one proposition!
From career man... to corporate husband!


( Well if this isn't in the next Big Finish boxset... :P ) 

53)NOTHING BUT THE BEST by KRISTIN HARDY
When a gang of twenty-something women got together, men are always on the menu!
When a chance encounter with a mysterious sexy stranger leads to a night she’ll never forget. Independent Charlotte Pollard can’t believe her luck. Until the morning after, when the man in her bed turns into her company’s newest, sleekest executive. Not to mention she’ll be working with him to bring her latest, hippest designer clothing venture to life.
the Sixth Doctor can’t believe his bad luck. Hitting the sheets with the boss’s daughter isn’t the smartest move he’s ever made. Or is it? Charley’s beautiful, smart, sensual – there’s no lying about that. But she's used to the best..of everything, even men. Especially men. Can Six measure up? 

( Six and Charley can work .  Okay I want this one)

313) Desperately Seeking Heaven by Jill Steeples
Love always comes when you least expect it, at least that's what PA the Mistress tells herself as she looks forward to another Friday night of trash telly and wine-for-one. But what happens when the unexpected is daytime TV crush the Eleventh Doctor, and he's sitting on your couch watching the news...of the accident that claimed his life?
Soon, Missy finds her ordered life turned upside down by helping Eleven right the wrongs of his life so he can cross over to the ‘other side.' But most unexpected of all is Missy's growing realisation that her gorgeous ghost has taken up residence in her heart as well as in her home.

( :shrug:  Not personally my kind of thing,  but if I poke AO3 hard enough,  you think I'll find this already?) 


403) THREE DAY NIGHT - TORI PHILLIPS
THE WHITE ROSE OF YORK WAS NO HOTHOUSE FLOWER
Nay, Sir Edward Ferrars was a long-stemmed charmer with a dangerous secret of royal proportions. But for a chance to claim him as her promised groom, Amy Pond would fight the hounds of hell... !
Though plots and plans and barking dogs seemed to pursue the Countess of Thornbury wherever she went, Edward knew he'd found a champion. Mayhap Amy Pond was not what people expected, but the gentle dame had become his heart's desire.

(Hmmm,  don't know the guy here.  But this one's intriguing...)

163) Familiar Adversaries by Patricia Thayer
Thanks to a decades-old family feud, the Third Doctor knew Charlotte's daddy would never let his precious daughter anywhere near a Doctor - especially the no-good Doctor boy he'd run off years ago. So what's the grown-up beauty now doing on Three's construction site, stirring up way more trouble than she can possibly handle?
One thing for sure, this time Three wouldn't let anyone run him off. And after working closely with Charlotte Lucas, he knew that he'd better get ready for the battle of his life. Because he was going to roll up his sleeves and do whatever it took to make his way-too-familiar adversary...his beloved wife!

( see above)

402) ONCE A PLAYBOY - KATE HARDY
Adrenalin junkie aristocrat Rumplestiltskin is used to relationships as short and as sweet as the thrills he seeks. But, when an accident puts him in the care of physiotherapist and single mum Snow White, being bed-bound suddenly seems more than appealing! Rumplestiltskin may be a risk-taker… but letting Snow White and her little girl into his heart will be his biggest challenge ye

( *snerk*  "Adrenaline junkie"  is not a phrase I'd use for him!  Also, I have Questions)

275) The Boss’s Forbidden Secretary by Lee Wilkinson
Inexperienced secretary – bedded by the boss! Ruthless businessman Rumplestiltskin has discovered the woman he bedded is already married – he's furious! Cautious Zelena was just trying to help out her sister by posing as her wife, but now she's in over her head. The stranger she spent one perfect night with is her new boss! When Rumplestiltskin learns the truth he's intrigued. His unworldly secretary is out of her depth – and Rumplestiltskin is all for going in at the deep end...

(and now we get Makes Too Much Sense!)

315) Killer Affair by Cindy Dees
A plane crash had left Cora stranded, with a tropical storm approaching and a serial killer on the loose. And it had brought her close — far too close — to the most compelling, most sensual man she had ever encountered.
She knew there were dark, unspoken secrets in the Master's past. And yet she agreed to masquerade as his lover to try and trap the murderess stalking these once peaceful islands. But their charade of passion quickly flared out of control, until it was as real and as powerful as the rising storm — and made them the target of a madwoman's deadly rage...

(Oh wow,  Cora and the Master... hmmm...)

Just look at this lovely modelling! )

I always admire when people are good at working with clay and/or modelling paste - it's one of the techniques I've tried, more than once, to no avail. Lucky for me that Semja has this skill!
