I'm signing up for the

unconventionalcourtship challenge! It's a challenge where you write a fic (or create art!) inspired by the summary of a Harlequin or Mills & Boon romance novel, and sign up to post it sometime in June. I haven't done this before, but I heard about it last year and it looked really fun, so I decided to try it this year!

I'm going to write a modern AU of Andy/Quynh from The Old Guard, with the summary of Yours in Black Lace by Mia Zachary:

PI Andromache Scythian just received the latest sexy note from her hot, anonymous admirer.

Signed only as “Yours in Black Lace,” the letters are becoming more illicit with every blazing word. Getting the cards at work suggests they’re from someone in the office, but she can’t be sure, and the not knowing is driving Andy crazy. When her admirer is discovered, she knows better than to mix business with pleasure, but the words are irresistible. And so is Quýnh…

Ngô Thanh Quýnh. Investigator, siren, secret letter writer. Andy knows she should keep a professional distance, but the words Quýnh wrote are unforgettable. And now that Quýnh’s in jeopardy, she isn’t just a colleague anymore, she’s also a client. Andy takes her to an exclusive safehouse, hidden away in the countryside, and she can’t fight the attraction any longer when Quýnh hands her another card. How can they possibly think about avoiding danger with far more pleasurable pastimes to distract them?

They also have banners on the UC page that you can edit with your pairing of choice, but I don't have photoshop so I just decided to use one of another femslash pairing I love! XD

(Also, please clap, I think I f i n a l l y actually figured out how to insert images on here!!! It only took me about 3 years lol XD )

Current Mood: anxious

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) What supplemental things do you enjoy, read, use as research, connect with fellow fans on? We're looking for anything that adds to your enjoyment of your fandom(s). Wikis, web sites, videos, software, games, books, people, communities... anything!

I have a few communities and resources for different fandoms that I use! Most of them are for different small fandoms, but hopefully some other people will be interested! I really like

sutcliff_space for general Rosemary Sutcliff fandom stuff,

theoldguardkinkmeme is a great kink meme for The Old Guard, and

fandomcalendar is great for keeping track of fanwork exchanges and other fandom events. I also love this website's map of the ancient Roman world as a resource for historical fandoms or AUs or original work ancient Rome, and I love Fantasy Name Generators for writing original work and creating OCs in fanfic!

Current Mood: calm

Challenge #8: In your own space, create a wishlist. Your wishlist can be anything between one and ten wishes as a rough guide.

Ooh this is an interesting challenge!! Here are my wishes (some of them very specific):

1. Fan art or podfic or remixes for any of my stories! (here on AO3) I would be so delighted with any kind of transformative works for my fics, you have no idea :D

2. I'd love recs for some communities about writing, reading, or history!

3. I'd also love recs for podcasts or documentaries about true crime or history, or about naval stuff specifically

4. Recs for journals/communities that talk about planning/organization (especially for people with ADHD)

That's all for my wishlist! Hope you all have a great weekend!

A goal is defined as the object of a person's ambition or effort. For this challenge, you are to make a goal or two or, well, as many as you wish to.

Do you want to write that fanfic that has been on your mind? Make that essay on the meta of your favorite fandom? Learn a new language? Read your stack of To Be Read books? Finally watch every episode of every version of The Twilight Zone?

In your own space, create some goals. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I have several goals for myself! I have two (or is it three now?!) WIPs I hope to finish and post soon, one of which I've been working on for quite a while; I want to start an original work story that I've been thinking about and planning lately; and I have some posts I really want to make on here! Specifically I want to make a post about the book The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis, because I just got it for Christmas and it's delightful so far (though I'm a very slow reader) and I want to talk about it, possibly a post about my Franklin planner that came in the mail a few days ago, and another post about Yuletide for here and for my Tumblr!

Another goal unrelated to fandom is to get part of my room cleaned by the end of this weekend. I've been working on going through my dresser drawers and getting rid of clothes I don't wear anymore, and it's been a bit of a slow process but I feel like I could finish it tomorrow, hopefully! As a larger goal, I want to organize/clean my whole room before school starts again.

[Bad username or unknown identity: snowflake_challenge�]#3: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?

Hmmm, I love this question! I'd really like to have dinner with Rosemary Sutcliff, I think! :D I'd want to just talk to her about life tbh, and how her life influenced her writing...

I'd also love to have dinner with Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli and talk to them about Joe and Nicky from The Old Guard! They're my favorite characters from that movie, both as individuals and as a couple, and I love how involved the actors were in creating that.

We can just have a big dinner party together, and everyone can get to know each other! :D

Current Mood: bouncy

First of all, I just realized that Ms Sutcliff and my grandma share a birthday!!! So, happy 100th birthday to Rosemary Sutcliff and happy 83rd to my Nana! <3

Second, thank you

verecunda for writing up this Q&A and for tagging me! The questions were super fun! :D I got a little carried away with some of the answers, so I’ll put them under the cut! (Originally from Tumblr, posted December 14th, but I wanted to share here too.)

Rules: answer the questions, tag anyone who you think might want to play along, and - if you like - add a question of your own.
