Fannish Things

[damzel]

So, I finished my story for once_upon_fic late Sunday night (at least I made the deadline). Owing to RL work pressure, Yuletide has been pretty much the extent of my creative output for the past couple of years. Now, at least, my new year's goal to Write More is ever-so-slightly back on track. I had a lot of fun with my recip's prompt, which was one of those ideas that immediately gets your plot bunnies hopping (whether I've done the idea justice is another matter altogether!) I don't have a gift myself as yet, but I'm hoping that's just because my writer has an extension.

I also have this juicy looking bingo card from thisbluespirit 's game of apocabingo, tic_tac_woe (incidentally, that is one of my favourite community names ever!)

[ETA:   I tried to copy and paste my bingo card here and failed miserably. My prompts are: 

Hell/Heaven on Earth ; Mass Nihilism ; Absorbed into Hive Mind

Horsemen of the Apocalypse ; WILD   CARD ;  Meteor Strike/ Impact from Space

Biological Warfare/Terrorism ; Flooding/Erosion of Land Mass ; End of the Universe/Entropy]


I'm finding myself strangely drawn to the idea of writing Riverdale fic for some of these prompts. Maybe I'm just far too obsessed with Riverdale...

That is the best comm/challenge name ever! It's been years since I did a bingo card (for a photography comm), but I'm tempted to do some fan art now...

I aspire to pun at that level ;) (plus, I'd love to see the "mass nihilism" prompt represented in visual form!)

I just went to double check the coding on your card, in case I'd mesed up posting it in, but it looks okay still:

Hell/heaven on earth	Mass nihilism	Absorbed into hive mind
Horsemen of the Apocalypse	WILD CARD	Meteor strike/impact from space
Biological warfare/terrorism	Flooding/erosion of land mass	End of the universe/entropy

(You need to use the html editor, then just c+p from the box into your entry and it should show up. Some layouts do omit the lines, although the one you've got shouldn't, as it's the same base style as the one I used for the comm.)

The comm name came via eve11, because I don't aspire to pun at that level, either! Good luck with it and your other writing, anyway!

I had no doubt that it was my technical incompetence rather than any issue with the code! Thanks for posting it here for me.

[sallymn]

They sounds... interesting :)

[damzel]

I find a lot of these apocalyptic prompts . . . Interesting. I worry what that says about me!

Well done for finishing fic! And there's nothing like destroying the world multiple times over:D

[damzel]

Thanks! I know that it's not really a big achievement, but I'm proud of myself for getting stuff done anyways :)

[liadt]

Aw, since I'm forcing myself to write fic because otherwise I wouldn't do any writing until Yuletide I think it's a biggie achievement:)
