Also, I’m glad JRR Tolkien never knew they names a storm after Arwen.


Strictly Week 10

Found out on Friday that Cynthia would be back as a replacement judge but in a different seat because Motsi had a COVID contact/wrong vaccine/lives in Germany but Craig would be back.

My contributions to the Three-Sentence Ficathon this month (I was several days, if not weeks, behind everyone else and I have yet to look at the second post).

For the prompt ‘Harry Potter (books, EWE), Draco/Luna, bittersweet’ 112 words. PG. ( as if we were other people )


For the prompt ‘harry potter, ginny weasley, size is no guarantee of power’ 80 words. Universal. ( The Little One )


For the prompt ‘10 Things I Hate About You, Kat Stratford (and optionally Patrick), any’ (Kat, Mandella, Kat/Patrick). 102 words. Universal. ( Options )


For the prompt ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Kira + any, any’ 62 words,. Universal. ( Entreaty )



For the prompt ‘lotr, sigrid, queen!sigrid’. Triple fill. AU. 256 words. PG. Summary: Three ways Sigrid became queen. (  Hail, Sigrid Queen )

I posted That Merrie Month of May (original micro fiction, historical English setting, May Queen/May King) on Wednesday, which again involved manual crossposting. (Ugh.) I wrote it last Saturday after seeing the prompt, polished it on Sunday and posted it to the comm then because it’s meant to be set in May, so it’s a timely fic. There are quite a few fics, original and fanfiction, that I’ve written drafts of but haven’t had the drive to complete and post. The original fic might be more likely to appear, because that just needs general editing, but the fanfiction requires research. Ah well, this is a long weekend (when I might get distracted by doing other stuff).

Having dipped into several features on the LotR:EE DVDs over the past three weeks, I was struck by how pretty much everyone is in love with Viggo Mortenson, including the makers of the documentaries. I have enjoyed returning to their Middle Earth a lot.

Fanvid and fanfic recs in the following fandoms: Arrival, The Lady of the House of Love (Angela Carter – The Company of Wolves), Lord of the Rings, The Man from UNCLE (film), MCU, Pride & Prejudice (2015 adaptation), Pacific Rim, Push and The Shape of Water.
