And today, a sadness.

I found out today someone I've seen around in fannish circles - not knew, or ever spoke to, but seen around semi-regularly for idk at least 15 years - died earlier this year. :( And so, I am sad. It's not really grief, I didn't really know them, but still. They were part of the community and now they're gone and it sucks. :(

There are many reasons why getting older is hard, and this is very much one of them. Particularly for someone like me, who's mostly had older friends, but just in general, too. The longer you're around the more people you know die, that's just... how it works. Alas. :(

Anyway I don't really have a point or anything. I'm just sad.

Hello Everyone!

Nominations are now closed, however, don't panic if your noms haven't been approved! We've still got a lot of tagset to review, and probably at least one clarifications post to put up. Watch this space!

Next Steps


The mods need to finish reviewing and finalizing the tagset. As we do that, we will post any lingering clarification questions, likely tomorrow.

FAQ


Where did my noms go/why were my noms rejected?


Your noms may have been rejected if you nominated a group of characters, if you nominated a pairing that was not rare, or if you nominated in the wrong fandom. If you are disappointed an otherwise eligible ship did not make it in, please see the next question!

Oh no! I forgot a very important tag! What do I do?


Comment here and we'll try to add it in for you, if it's not too late in the sign-up process. We do request you comment with a specific format, which is:
Fandom,Relationship
[ex: Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Leia Organa (Any)]

If you have more than one relationship in the same fandom, you can add it after the first one, separated by a comma:
Fandom,Relationship,Relationship
[ex: Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Leia Organa (Any),The Armorer (Mando)/Mon Mothma (Any)]

What if there's something wrong with a tag in the tagset?


If you catch something, please comment here, or go to our Discord server and drop a comment in the #tagset-cleanup channel.

I'm so excited for signups, when do they open?


The schedule has them opening on Wednesday, 11:59 EST. We're going to work to get the tagset cleaned up, and if we're able to do that ahead of schedule, we may even open ahead of schedule! Be on the lookout for information here.

Any other questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below. Anon is on and comments are screened. See you soon for signups!

Forgive me a few moments of astrology talk, but I promise it's leading somewhere.

Today was a partial solar eclipse (not visible in my part of the world, but holy cats, was it felt!) and the astro-weather has been, uh... well, it's been!  And when you're in these kinds of times where brains might be buzzing less with ideas and more with static, it's important to give yourself grace if you're not "as productive" as you want to be, however that looks to you.

So make sure you take time to rest!  If you've written anything at all today, congrats!  Celebrate it and take some time to decompress.  If writing hasn't happened at all today, that's fine!  Read over a piece of your writing you're proud of (whether finished or a WIP) and do something fun as a reward for being kind to yourself.

I did NOT have much in the way of brain at all today. Basically just read, and played some Minecraft in the evening. Which is fine, it's Sunday, if there's ever a day to veg out without worrying about it it'd be Sunday.

Still, I DID manage to get myself to have a shower, since I need to go get meds tomorrow, so I still have SOME brain left! :D Not displeased with this, no.

And now Sushi's making a nuisance of himself, which does tend to mean it's 'go the fuck to sleep o'clock' - not that that stops him, it's just a semi-reliable reminder - so I'mma do that, yes.

[ SECRET SUBMISSIONS POST #977 ]




The first secret from this batch will be posted on September 27th.



RULES:
1. One secret link per comment.
2. 750x750 px or smaller.
3. Link directly to the image.

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.

Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment!

Reminder of Rules

Entries should be 100, 200, or 300 words exactly, excluding titles and headers.
Please place the body of your entry behind a cut.

Each challenge ends when the new challenge is posted, but if you're a few days late that's still fine.

NEW RULE: DOUBLE AND TRIPLE DRABBLES ARE ALSO ACCEPTED ;)

Pretty chill day today! Went for a walk with Mama, which was fun! For whatever reason (and it really shouldn't've been overexertion) I had to pass out when I got home though, so that was annoying. Tried to not, read a bit and and did some sewing and stuff first, but nope. Had to. Body what are you up to I ate breakfast and lunch and drank water and took my meds and did an exercise! My blister's even gone down without popping! Bleh.

Other than that, not a lot. Played minecraft this evening, as usual, hahaha. That's about it.
