In your own space, grant someone's wish from Challenge #5. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your own post with the wishes you granted if you feel comfortable doing so.
I did this already on the day of Challenge #5, so I'm considering this one done. Yeah, it's cheating a little, but it's been a day, lol.

New Wind Breaker fic: open invitation (Sakura & Momijikawa)
Jan. 21st, 2026 08:24 pmvriddyGot that idea in mind when we saw Momijikawa cooking in chapter 194 a few weeks ago; better get it out before canon manages some kind of version of it XD
open invitation | Wind Breaker | Sakura & Momijikawa | 615 words
Summary: Momijikawa cooks for Sakura.
Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

K-9 fanart \o/ For me!!!
Jan. 21st, 2026 07:58 pmvriddyThe delightful sisterdivinium made FANART of Oboro and Ren from K-9 and IT IS GLORIOUS!!! :D :D BEHOLD! It's so cool. It makes me grin every time I look at it. I am so happy. There's very few fanworks for the series out there, I think the fanart we found can still be counted on one hand. (There was cosplay too :D) Including this lovely piece!! THIS FANDOM IS GROWING EVERY DAY CLEARLY \o/
Please admire too :D -> HERE <-
(Also there are three K-9 prompts on thethreesentenceficathon that I'm aware of 👀 In case it's of interest to the SWARMS of K-9 fans out there!!!! Bookmarking for..... reasons.............)

As the Earth Dreams, ed. Terese Mason Pierre (2025) [part 2]
Jan. 21st, 2026 11:10 ampauraqueThis is my second post about As the Earth Dreams, though these are the first stories in the book. I missed the book club meeting when they were discussed, so I'm afraid you'll only be getting my thoughts on them.
I also read the introduction and learned that it offers a one-sentence synopsis for each story, so I guess I can use those when I can't come up with a better one and/or don't understand a story's plot.
"Ravenous, Called Iffy" by Chimedum Ohaegbu
( A masseuse attends her mother's fourth funeral, a prelude to her latest resurrection, only to encounter family she's never met. )
"The Hole in the Middle of the World" by Chinelo Onwualu
( In a dystopian future, a refugee sells her memories. )
"A Fair Assessment" by Terese Mason Pierre
( An antiques appraiser summons spirits to learn more about the objects, and encounters her ancestor. )

LEP 21.1.
Jan. 21st, 2026 12:16 pmyvannairieI genuinely think sound based moves in Pokémon doubles should roll a chance to wake all other Pokémon on the field. This would increase volatility, but it would also help with balance, and make sleep mechanics more interesting.
Writing status/check-in/where am I at?
Jan. 21st, 2026 07:57 amvriddyReached a couple of milestones yesterday, and I'm mentally basically ready to shift back into working on my original projects. Just trying to remember where I'm at with everything. Also cool milestone alert!
Milestone alert: GYWO monthly goal for January, reached! ;)
With my pledge, I should write 12.5k words a month, and now I'll have reached it at least once this year!! It feels really good to start the year being on track. As much as Time Is A Construct, I think I should be careful not to set myself up for big editing projects in January in the future, in general.
I'm so surprised that over 5k of that was for a Spring Thunder fic. Like. I do write freely for tiny fandoms! But usually it's more like coughing out a vignette or a missing scene, or a tiny fix-it to deal with canon stress. Not a full hurt/comfort rescue mission. In the end though, I wrote it for the same reasons I wrote those shorter vignettes in the past: it feels good :D It feels right. It was fun. AND I get to reread and enjoy something tailored to my id in the future :D I was delighted with myself by the end of the first draft, hopefully that'll hold when I return to it for edits :D
Time-sensitive fics
I'll likely just let most of the unposted stuff I wrote rest for a while. Couple of exceptions I have in mind:
- Well I do need to proofread and post my Candy Hearts assignment. That would be good to do on time XD
- For my last 600 words to reach the milestone yesterday, I wrote something for Wind Breaker that will probably be invalidated by a new manga chapter next week. I'd like to clean that up and post it so there's a chance it can be enjoyed as-is for a few days before becoming canon divergent XD
- Not really time-sensitive, but I want to post a couple of BNHA fics to get them out of my mind. One was written a couple of years ago for a collaborative project that never quite completed its landing and I think it's long enough. I need to free my mind of it before I forget it even exists.
Original stuff
( Soul Thief edit preps Take Two )
This was supposed to help me figure out what to do this morning, but it didn't really help in the end! Maybe I'll see if there's a fic in an editable state. I know there's a couple of finished drafts in there, but for some of those I wanted to do a canon review first... Gah!! So many fun things to do, so little time :D
Boring, stupid, doomed.
Jan. 21st, 2026 03:54 pmalisxInstead, we get this timeline, where AI is en route to destroying much of the world in the most boring way possible, poisoning the greatest well of information ever conceived by mankind, lowering the average intelligence of an entire species, obliterating the market for art, literature and science while recalibrating our tastes to the most egregious slop imaginable, and downsizing the human workforce by millions of employees, all without ever demonstrating more intelligence than a very proficient autocomplete program.

A Reckoning of Swords 19-20
Jan. 20th, 2026 08:48 pmkallowayGot some archiving done! I'm still a couple of weeks behind but, like, have you seen the last couple of weeks?
I'm trying to get better at picking at things when I have a few spare minutes, instead of feeling like I need a block of time to code/write/whatever.
The Lemonade Cafe's twenty-third (whut?!) anniversary is somewhere in the next couple of weeks. Looking back, it's traditionally been celebrated between the 30th of January and the 7th of February, so it's very much an anniversary week and not a firm date. This is basically because the original site was coded for a class project for a one-credit web-dev class I took my last semester of university. Once the class was over and the site (a fairly general KH site, tbh) graded, I promptly swapped it over to hosting the fanfiction I'd been writing for an entire month at that point.
I don't actually have any anniversary plans so um, help me make some?
Current gunpla/plamo kit is [redacted] for a contest so mostly all I can yell about is glitter and rhinestones, lol.
