[#282] lines in the sand, language of eye contact (House M.D.)
Dec. 6th, 2025 07:24 pmTheme Prompt: #282 - Catharsis
Title: lines in the sand, language of eye contact
Fandom: House M.D.
Rating/Warnings: PG. Makes reference to somewhat outdated terms regarding the autism spectrum, but other than that, decently wholesome.
Word Count: 533 words
Author's Note: Another one of the times my brain has a sudden burst of motivation for something, this time regarding a curious episode of House in which there's one of the few times he manages to truly connect to a patient. Kind of a magical moment for me (an autistic doofus of a man with too many interests). Also yes this means I am kinda leaning towards a "House is actually somewhat in the spectrum someplace" headcanon, I do what I want.
Summary: The best approximation of how Dr. House is feeling during the events of the main case of "Lines in the Sand".

AO3 Meme
Dec. 6th, 2025 12:42 pmNot sure if I've done this yet (at least not here), but I stole it from
thisbluespirit .
From your AO3 Works page, look at the tags and find the answers to these questions.
Current number of works on AO3: 118
1. Under what rating do you write most?
Ratings break down like this:
General Audience (115)
Teen and Up (3)
2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
Doctor Who (80)
Doctor Who (1963) - 47
Doctor Who (Big Finish)- 41
Once Upon a Time is fourth!
3. Which character do you write about most?
Apparently my top 5 are:
Nyssa of Traken
Fifth Doctor
Eighth Doctor
Rumplestiltskin (Mr. Gold)
Charley Pollard
Yeah that makes sense.
4. What are the 3 top pairings you've written?
Belle/Rumplestiltskin (Mr. Gold) has 12
Fifth Doctor & Nyssa has 9 (I kinda thought that would be higher?)
Tenth Doctor and Donna has 8 .
Surprising!
5. What are the top 3 additional tags?

Challenge #531
Dec. 6th, 2025 12:53 amWrite a couple of paragraphs of your character doing something that you know how to do. Just description, and you should aim for describing it well enough that a person who doesn't know how to do it can visualize what's going on.
It doesn't have to be a complicated task. For example, it could be pulling out $4.43 worth of cash from your wallet. You could describe them opening the wallet and pulling out four dollar bills, then opening the change compartment, rooting through it, and not finding quarters, so they have to use four dimes, a nickel, and three pennies.

November Art, At Last!

The Final Battle of the Fanperson Meme
Dec. 5th, 2025 07:49 amDoing the rest in one go.
Have you ever created fan art, fan fiction, or any other fan work for your fandom?
As it's written in my profile:
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 toexorcise 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.
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?
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...
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!

[#282 | Catharsis] Challenge Post
Dec. 4th, 2025 01:14 am| 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.
