:: feeling tookish: reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture

I wrote a tiny CQL thing here in the fication (or here on AO3) & it was Extremely Satisfying to write a three sentence drabble, so please go add more prompts because none of the unfilled ones are speaking to me, thank you.

I feel like I had Things I should post about over here, but what...

1) I did finally post my 2019 film wrap-up (#bonghive for life)

2) Chinese class is both really fun and really hard. I can see the shape of what I need to do now, though; I just need to do it. I'm getting there. It's the first time I've been in a class of all adults - even grad school had babies who had never had a real job - and it's really nice to be in a group where everyone's like "my time and money are valuable, who cares if we look dumb, let's just do the thing". Which, I mean, we all still turn bright red & don't want to go up to the front of the room and all that, but we do it and it's fine.

3) Maybe there were only two things. Can I answer any questions?

you've been threatened with it for Some Time Now and so let's just get it over with, eh?

starfishchick & marginalia present:

Can't Fight This Feeling: The Power Ballad Slash Ficathon
(aka the least organized ficathon ever) here's all the stuff you need to know:

• minimum word count is 750. will we come beat you up if it's shorter? probably not. we're too lazy.
  
• the due date is *closes eyes and pokes calendar* november 5th. i'll post a master list then, but if you're -dying- to post early i certainly won't stop you.
  
• more than one person can claim the same song, because neither of us are organized enough to keep track anyway.
  
• and what you've all been waiting for . . .the songs! some suggestions in comments here or pick one of vh1's top 25. of course, this is just a starting point. if you have a beloved power ballad that we've left out, by god, tell us & use it!

still here? sign up in the comments like this:

• lj name/penname (so we know it's not just us)
• fandom (not carved in stone)
• chosen song (or tell us if you would like one assigned)

yay :)

of course my first ficathon would have to be for something big and scary. *chews nails* too bad this won't count for leadership in my portfolio. heh.

so, bookishwench started the The BtVS/AtS Slash Wedding Ficathon. and then thejennabides did the same for Gundam Wing and Lotrips.
