Authors are revealed, and here's what I wrote!

An Appointment to Keep (1400 wds, Biggles + Erich + An OC [Original Cat])
My recipient liked fluff and animals, so that is exactly what's in this! Set late in canon.

Draped in Glory (1300 wds, Algy/Ginger)
And this was a treat for pinch hitter [personal profile] black_bentley, who it seemed only fair should have a gift too! This is basically an Algy/Ginger take on the Biggles/EvS "putting on jewelry" fic I wrote a couple of years ago; it always seemed to me that it should work for them equally well.

Under Glass (1900 wds, Biggles/EvS)
Not exactly a Sleeping Beauty AU ... but also kind of a Sleeping Beauty AU! Set in canon, but Biggles is under a curse; only true love's kiss can wake him. This was a last-minute treat when the idea hit me out of the blue.

Liking chicks is gay, bro.

The show seems to go out of its way to say that it’s very masculine to be gay, which is exactly why people like those classical romances, where homosexuality is a natural overflow of masculine energy. It’s a vision of a sort of non-toxic but also non-anxious masculinity – masculinity that doesn’t require women to constantly affirm it.

Apparently all the AO3 girlies are now sufficiently grown-up and have influenced pop culture to the point that The Guardian is doing the whole “did you know girls like to watch dudes fuck???” thing. Which, like. On the one hand, 2006 called and wants its take back. But, also, on the other, the fact that this is in a big mainstream normie news outlet, about a big mainstream TV show definitely says . . . something? I guess? Maybe.

three things i like about myself

1. i really don’t need a lot to pull a story out of scraps, on a good day. now, writing it out is a whole different animal…

2. i have too many interests and too many hobbiest and i am occasionally tempted to do even more — but i prefer that rather than having nothing

3. i am willing to make an effort. i can’t trust my brain with a lot of stuff but at least i can still trust myself with the ability of wanting to think.

 

yeah that was a dig to chatgpt. everyday i am just flabbergasted at how a lot of people are just delegating things (even things people generally do FOR FUN) to AI because they say it’s “easier” or “less effort”.

miss me with that shit

[personal profile] fthmods posting in [community profile] fandomtrumpshate

Do you create fanart, fanfic, podfics, videos, or any other kind of digital fanwork? Do you have services you can offer your fellow creators such as betaing, typesetting, research, or sensitivity reading? Do you want to use any of this to raise money for progressive causes?

If so, welcome to the 10th annual Fandom Trumps Hate auction!

Some light reading before you go straight to the signup form - even if you've participated before, please check these out!

One change to note: If you would like to offer your fanwork in "Any fandom," the options have changed. We have summarized those changes here.

If you've read all that and are ready to proceed, the 2026 signup form is here!

The main auction is only for digital fanworks - do you create physical fan crafts that you'd like to raise money with? Check out our Fan Crafts Bazaar!

The Fandom Trumps Hate Fan Crafts Bazaar

Every year, we get emails and comments from people who make physical fan crafts or art who want to list their creations in FTH. There are a variety of reasons that non-digital fanworks are not a good fit for the way we run the main FTH auction, but in 2020 we introduced the Fan Crafts Bazaar, a way for fan crafters to support our orgs parallel to the main auction. If you'd like to see what it looks like, you can view last year's Bazaar here.

2026 Fan Crafts Bazaar calendar:

Monday, Jan 26th - Signups open
Friday, Feb 27th - Craft Bazaar opens
Tuesday, March 3rd - Signups close
Wednesday, Mar 18th - Craft Bazaar closes (though individual stalls may close sooner)

[community profile] snowflake_challenge wants us to think about the places where we have come together in shared pursuit of our fandoms, or the same fandom, or many other ways of joining us together and showing us that we are not alone in our pursuits.

Challenge #13

TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY SPACE YOU LIKE. It doesn’t need to be your favorite, or the one where you spend the most time (although it certainly can be). Maybe it’s even one that you’ve barely visited. But talk about that space and how it helps support fannish community.


In community, we join, and nowhere else is that more evident than at convention. )

Amperslash reveals!

Jan. 25th, 2026 06:13 pm
sholio: Text: "Age shall not weary her, nor custom stale her infinite squee" (Infinite Squee)
[personal profile] sholio
Amperslash authors are revealed! I wrote two things, one assignment and one PH.

And Other Hidden Places (Murderbot, 7200 wds, mature-rated, creator chose not to use warnings)

So in true Amperslash fashion, this one was insanely difficult to tag. It's Gurathin/OC and sort of Murderbot/Gurathin, but also, Murderbot is definitely asexual and sex-repulsed in this, possibly aromantic but possibly also not. Basically Gurathin seeks out rough sex to self-harm; Murderbot finds out about it and tries to figure out what's going on. I had a ton of fun writing it, and I figured the recipient (whose tastes I know pretty well) would love it, but I would never have written this one for someone cold; it definitely skirts the edge of a number of areas that can be either super iddy or hard DNWs depending on personal taste.


And then there was a pinch hit I picked up:

Midnight Road to Indianapolis (Stranger Things, 2K, gennish Eddie/Chrissy)

I like this pairing in general concept and have read a little of it, but I've never tried my hand at writing it, so I decided to jump on the pinch hit, and really had fun with the period ambiance in this one! (Husband reminded me when I was idly musing about the whole deal with cars having cigarette lighters that old cars also used to have ashtrays, which was definitely a thing in the cars of my youth, but I had completely forgotten about! So that makes an appearance in this fic as well.)
