 Did anyone else see this, about the person that got a scammer to write out a Brexit fic by hand? 
https://twitter.com/idvck/status/1012831905560104960?s=19
Made me laugh, off to read the fic now https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10689161
I wonder what the scammer thought of the fic...

 Do you have a large circle to talk fan stuff with? A small circle? Do you have one-off chats with other fans randomly, with little engagement thereafter?  Do you stick to specific fandom stuff, or talk about fandom trends more widely?

Most of my ships are ghost ships or kayaks. I've recently gotten into IronStrange, which is great because it's an active ship full of elements I've liked for a long time. It's been ages since I've actually been part of an active ship. This is so nice!

What about the rest of you? Any new or new-to-you ships?

So a friend--and by friend, I mean my beta reader of 20 years who I freaking should have told this was a thing-- was lamenting to me about a lack of spaces for Fandom-olds and I thought she knew about this comm, but she didn't.

Admittedly, we've been quiet as heck lately (we're all Old, this means we're also Busy). (It didn't help that we made the move when I was battling a four month long migraine cycle.) We should work on changing that, but in the meantime, she asked if we had a promo graphic.

We don't.

Anyone have some Mad Photoshop Skillz they want to apply to the task? I'm willing to bribe you with gen fic if we share a fandom. :)

..and the struggle between conscience, expediency, and the habits of privilege?

(The phrasing is deliberately vague because a Luke-I-Am-Your-Father-level Spoilerzilla, revealed on May 8th, is involved.)

"What Harry Potter Fan Fiction Taught Me About Sex 

Learning to appreciate my chamber of secrets."


"But what about the nonphysical? Where would I be mentally after that? Would my emotional reaction to it differ at 15 years old? What about 18? Would I want to tell anyone? How would people react if I did tell them? Did I care what my friends thought? Rather than simply being told I shouldn't do it, I sat down and pondered whether or not I would ever actually want to. Writing fan fiction meant reasoning through actions and the resulting emotions in a way my teachers never asked for, even after my supposed spouse killed our egg child."


 

A funny piece that I related to in parts.

 What fandoms have you been involved in lately, and what are you doing there? fic, fanart, music videos, meta?

 

This week I've been reading fanfic (it's what I primarily consume), and reading in the One Day at a Time fandom, and trying to find some new faves in the OMG Check Please fandom. Fics for Hannibal and Pride (2014) prior to that.

Tempted to search out some Black Panther fanart after some cool stuff crossing my feed, but I don't want spoileRs (I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET; A TRAVESTY). Ditto for The Shape of Water

This post is a few days too late, because Infinity Train just got announced as coming out in 2019.

BUT, here is a tweet from the show's creator addressing toxicity in the fandom, before the show was even greenlit:

"Hints haven't been working, so I'll just say it now: Stop shitting on other shows in the name of Infinity Train. You're taking the hard work that people put into their shows and disparaging it when they're trying to have their moment. It's just mean and breeds animosity. Stop."

I came across this tiny fandom for the show a while ago. I've had niche fandoms, but this was next level. An animated short existed, and some people speculated it would become a show mostly from stalking people's Linked In pages.

I've been in fandom a long-ass time. I've never seen anything like this, though.

The short looks cool and I hope the show is good, but ... just ... massive drama before the show is even greenlit?

Paul De Meo, co-creator of The Sentinel, has passed.

I miss the days of Sentinel fandom, even though I never managed to be part of it. I think the show was over by the time I came across it.

What are some things we can talk about?

* Maybe Bryan Fuller and Anne Rice working together on an Interview With A Vampire Pilot?

* Period Panties now have a SPN design.


What else us up in the fannish world?

Discord Server

I'm not sure how active this community is. But...

Do we have a discord server? Would anyone be interested in one?

His channel is primarily recreating foods from TV and film. He's done a lot. I don't watch GoT, but someday I will make this pie because it's such a staple of medieval/fantasy settings.

Thought some of you might enjoy!

This is my favorite holiday event. You fill out their thingie and the comm's mods turn it into a stocking for people to fill. It's like an exchange, but without the pressure. So if you ever wanted to take part in an exchange but did want to for reasons, this is fantastic.

If you are up for a challenge, you can ask the mods for lists of stockings that need more fills. I did some doodles and stuff outside my usual fandoms last year to help out.

Here is the explanation on how it all works.

Here is the sign up post! Sign ups are until the 15th.

When the stockings are up, I will post again with links to their tagging system. If you want to find and leave stuff for people in your fandoms. Fics, arts, holiday greetings, wallpapers, reccs, etc, there are lots of ways to do fills.
