New community! comicsfanfiction (all comics - including webcomics or graphic novels) - I haven't started adding my works to it yet, but I figured I'd post about it here first. I felt bad that all the other genres have a community now but yet not comics.

Over at the new community I posted a list of Other {Comics Fandom-Specific} Communities to Post to - an {incomplete?} list of both active and non-active communities to try to inspire some crossposting/activity in those communities. I'm sure I'm missing some communities/fandoms, because I mainly focused on DC & Marvel 'cause I'm more familiar with those fandoms, so if anyone happens to be a part of or know of others, let me know either here or there.

Also because of stumbling upon nevanna's journal I realized I missed the 25th Anniversary of X-Men: Evolution (November 4, 2000) - although did I? 'Cause in a way I sort of honored it by writing several drabbles for it this year for the first time in years, and made banners with screenshots at xmen100, made tables with Episode Titles from XME at xmen15 and even made several icons this year for it (although technically haven't released them at harpieicons yet & they're only currently located at Muse-Insanity.com/Icons). But Yeah I love that series so much - and I think it'll continue to hold a special place in my heart forever.

Also realized that Supergirl (TV series) has an anniversary this year - 10 years (October 16, 2015). I did make a few icons for that series this year (again mostly released at Muse-Insanity.com/Icons right now), but I haven't written anything new for the series (or the overall Arrowverse or DC Universe) lately although it has been tempting me a bit. Next year Legends of Tomorrow would be 10 years as well, and Superman & Lois would be 5 years.

Incase anyone wants to get free points/paid time, moodthemeinayear is offering if you participate/make a moodtheme (even just partially!), for full details check it out here. I've been wanting a moodtheme, but I can't seem to decide what to do. I'm probably going to do either a Marvel one? Or maybe just MCU or X-Men. Someone had made a Hawkeye comics moodtheme but the download button is gone/locked? now so I can't use that one sadly. Honestly I don't use the mood theme that munch, partially because I don't have one that I like. I don't know if I'll make one, but maybe? If I do, I'll definitely share it.

sapphic stocking stuffers is happening and I've made a few people some icons {so far!}, namely for the Sailor Moon, DC Comics, Once Upon A Time, and MCU fandoms. So Mars/Venus, Mars/Moon, Moon/Venus, Cassie/Rose, Rose/Raven, Elsa/Emma, Maria/Natasha, and Natasha/Pepper. There's a lot of people with fandoms I don't know and I feel weird touching those. I also received BEAUTIFUL CHEETAH/WONDER WOMAN & HARLEY/IVY ICONS by the lovely likealighthouse - yay!!!

Still haven't gone through the list of fandomtrees yet, so I have to do that this week sometime. Also finished the rewatch of Moonlight - it did get better and Josef had a lot more screentime in the back half of the show thankfully. I don't think I ship Mick/Beth anymore though? Not really anyway... I think I'm more intrigued by Josef/Beth - the way he basically brightens as soon as he sees her is just perfect. I wish we could have had more scenes and another season, but I do kinda understand why it didn't get another season compared to other Vampire shows did before or since. It also may have done better after the Twilight film was released but it happened before during the 2007-2008 TV schedule. But I think I'm ready/motivated to write for the smallfandomfest for the ship/fandom.

In other news, I completed Dispatch for the first time last night (at like 2AM lmao) - and I loved it. I definitely want to play the game again because of my bad "hacking" skills (and maybe a few other selections? IDK) Spoilers: Invisgal went bad by the end! I want her and Robert to kiss in the end! I couldn't pass basically any of the hacking parts once the anti-virus things started appearing Ugh, I'm gonna try again. Basically I ship everyone with everybody? Mainly OTP-ing hard on Invisgal/Robert though right now even though I started shipping Blonde Blazer/Robert first. I also like Robert/Blonde Blazer/Invisgal, Robert/Malevola, Robert/Prism, Robert/Coupé, Blonde Blazer/Invisgal, Blonde Blazer/Malevola, Invisgal/Malevola, Invisgal/Prism, Golem/Malevola, Prism/Coupé, Coupé/Malevola and Flambae/Waterboy. Oh I'm definitely going to check out fics soon, so if anyone has any favorites, please let me know!

Flambae sings Meredith Brooks "B***h" | DISPATCH Episode 5 RULES!!! ♥

 Voting is up at lgbtrainbow - managed to make 6 SkyMed icons for it for "Round 16" and so far I like the community - it's kinda low pressure even though the rounds can be quick. I like it 'cause you participate when you can. I am looking forward to new rounds of characters20in20 and ships20in20, and trying tvmovie20in20 and disney20in20 if they come back. 

heartsfate has a new prompt community 10trueloves - pick a character, prompt table and create 10 fics of 10 different pairings for that character. Already joined - picked Wanda Maximoff because why not - kinda obsessed right now... especially right now with Bucky/Wanda. Which was my first entry for my prompt table. And why I have a new icon for them alone.

Also participated three times so far for adventdrabbles - two for Charmed (reboot)'s Abigael/Mel (day 2) and one MCU's Bucky/Wanda (day 3). They even used my prompt for day 3 - cat in a Christmas tree.

The only reason I suggested that one, was because my first cat (RIP Cally) crawled all the way up in it ages ago (maybe the first year we had her I'm guessing, I don't remember anymore) and my family used that as a Christmas image/card for years - it's adorable but not great for ornaments plus they can hurt themselves potentially. But yeah, I've found that if you slowly introduce your cats to the tree before adding your ornaments - they get bored with it and don't bother it as much... well - mostly, just the bottom tree branches at least. At least that's how it's gone the last several years with my cats. I haven't even put my tree up yet (which is severely late for me), but I'm probably going to do that tomorrow or Friday.

Anyway I'm not sure if I'll participate with all the Days of the adventdrabbles - guess it depends on the prompt. Day 2 & 3 prompts definitely sparked something.

At mcu100 the new bi-weekly prompt is Lights, with Jessica/Matt and Betty Ross as the monthly challenges "pairing"/character.

  

At xmen100 the new bi-weekly prompt is Decorating, with Kitty/Wanda and Blink as the monthly challenges "pairing"/character.

  

I need to get to bed, otherwise I would probably write more, lol.

Things are coming along finally! I've made the Intro posts and a FAQ for 10trueloves. I still need to make the claims posts, the completed claim posts and of course the prompt tables. It's going to be interesting to see what prompts to use. Might do some themes, like a table of just colors, foods etc. Random prompts as well. We'll see. I don't know hope many tables we'll actually start with. Probably 10 to go with the 10 loves XD. I also need to make some graphics. An icon for the comm, a promo banner and another that's a template for the banner a creator will get when they finish their claim.

I got my cousin and I the advent calendar romance novel, A Heart for Christmas. I love advent calendars and the idea of a book where each chapter is 'wrapped' and you get to rip open to read that days chapter sounds fun. Granted I don't know if that book is any good yet XD. Guess I'll find out tomorrow when I start the first day.

I think I'm going to start a DC100 comm, like a sister thing to flareonfury's mcu100 and xmen100. Probably get to that after I finish setting up and promoting 10trueloves.

I really need to get my ass in gear with writing though. I need to step it up and actually work on some of the tables and ideas I've been wanting to do. I've set up a little sheet with some of my prompt tables set to a number on a D20...hehe, so I might start using that to try and work on things. Though I am 4 or 5 tables short to have 1 item for each number...maybe I'll have to add some more tables. ^^;;; Like I need to do that...but hey...why not? XD

Signed up for smallfandomfest for two fandoms so far, namely Moonlight (Beth/Josef) and Bastard Son & Devil Himself (Annalise/Nathan/Gabriel). Now out of the two fandoms, I've most recently rewatched BS&DH like this summer (thus it's a little fresher in my head although I'm a little nervous writing for the fandom) and Moonlight I don't remember rewatching anytime recently but I knew I loved the pairing so I figured I'd try that. I was also interested in a few Alcatraz, Birds of Prey, Being Human (US), Charmed (2018), Ghost Whisperer, Nancy Drew (TV 2019), The Gates, Nine Lives of Chloe King, and Sense8 of course so if I finish up the two claims I might go into those if they are still available. I didn't think to post prompts for fest, so a few of those fandoms have less choices for me to pick from but at least a few have "writer's choice" for characters/pairings.

So I'm currently doing a rewatch of Moonlight in preparation of writing for the prompt which was "What if Beth never met Mick and asked for Josef to provide her protection?" Which if you're rewatching the series for the first time like since that premiered or bought the DVD (which I did), the series is not very helpful in that regard because I think Josef is in some sort of financial business stuff, not quite bodyguard/protection type stuff. And there's a lot less Josef than I remember. But maybe I'll get more inspired as the series goes on or I'm just gonna ignore canon all over the place. Also I really hate the slow motion scenes... And there is a lot of those. Not great. Honestly the rewatch is harder to like? Like the series is rooting for Mick/Beth I know, and I know I liked that pairing the first time around although I always loved Beth/Josef too (made a LJ community about them after all) but this rewatch? Meh. Although I do see moments I would love to icon, lol. I just finished episode 8 of 16 so we shall see. Also another reason why I picked Moonlight, mostly to get back into the fandom so I could finish my table for Beth/Josef (only 3 prompts left!) and I wanted to see it again so I could fandom pimp it on vampiremedia. I did end up uploading my Moonlight fics (along with a few other fandoms) to AO3 since last post (13 fandoms to go). 

I just finished a rewatch of The Gates as well, because I was in the mood for vampires & werewolves and I remembered loving the series so I figured I'd try it again, mostly so I could fandom pimp it on vampiremedia & werewolvesden which I will definitely do soon. I ended up shipping mostly the same things I did the first time around, but this time, I see all the queer-ness of the series. Granted, not canon gay but still holy shit I was oblivious to it the first time around. Now I know most people shipped Nick/Dylan and Brett/Lukas mainly 'cause the little fandom there is, it was filled with those pairings but yeah now I see them & ship them along with Nick/Dylan/Claire, Nick/Dylan/Claire/Sarah, Claire/Karen, Brett/Lexie/Lukas, Charlie/Brett, Brett/Charlie/Lexie (pairings I also like & originally liked was Dylan/Claire, Nick/Claire, Nick/Leigh, Brett/Lexie, Lukas/Lexie, Charlie/Lexie). If only we got another season, I'd love to have seen more scenes between everyone. I found only a few things dragged for me, and I wish we got less of certain characters & more of others but that's basically the same of any show or film I watch. Anyway I don't have a lot icons for this show so I just reuploaded the Claire icon I saved (see post's icon). 

Also SUPER funny to realize that Frank Grillo (actor behind Nick) eventually ended up portraying a werewolf in Werewolves (2024), although granted that was not a great movie to watch. I was oddly bored through most of it (the movie that is, not The Gates). Anyway also fun fact that he appeared both in the MCU and DCEU. Also Colton Haynes (actor behind Brett) would become a werewolf again on Teen Wolf and joined Arrow as Roy Harper. Janina Gavankar (actress behind Leigh) would go on to portray a shapeshifter on True Blood and a witch on TVD and also appeared in Arrow.  Paul Blackthorne (actor behind Christian) went on to join Colton & Janina in the Arrowverse, but so far I don't think any other type of supernatural creature. Funny enough Rhona Mitra (actress behind Claire) portrayed a vampire in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (I really need to watch that again) and also appeared in Supergirl. Skylar Samuels (actress behind Andie) portrays a cat type-shifter in Nine Lives of Chloe King and she went on to portray the Stepford Cuckoos in The Gifted and the most entertaining news I've learned going on wikipedia to check out the cast, was finding out that Skylar ended up marrying Lucas Till (aka Havok in the X-Men films). So now all I want is Havok/Esme or Sophie or Phoebe. I was going to go through the rest of the cast to check if they ended up portraying another supernatural creature or ended up in the Marvel or DC worlds, but meh, I think I got lucky with that last bit of information and I think I'm good.

Anyway my other fandom/prompt is for The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (Annalise/Nathan/Gabriel, Hold Each Other by A Great Big World).... I love the characters and ship so much, and I've literally lost count how many times I've rewatched the series so I know I can write them but I can't help feel kinda intimated? There is just a lot of good fanfiction for them, plus I just wish we got just a little bit more canon for the show, I need more. I'm going to try and work on that this week and hope for the best. Plus I need to listen to the song a bit more.

In other news, I did two icon colors (so far) for lgbtrainbow both of SkyMed characters. If I get any more done for the challenge, I'm going to probably use SkyMed as the fandom because I need more of it out there. The fandom is tiny, but I did find out that there will be a Season 4 which I'm completely happy to find out! Season 3's finale was kinda a great ending to the series, so I was afraid there wasn't going to be more. And wickedgame got me Episode 1 screenshots so that's excellent news for iconing and I managed to save a bunch of caps from Paramount+ website. Seriously I love this show, I've rewatched it at least once every few months since I stumbled upon it last year (? Season 1 and Season 2 was definitely out by the time I saw it but I don't remember the exact time I found it, maybe sometime after Season 2 was released?). Hayley/Wheezer is my OTP but so is Lexi/Stef and Milosz/Tristan. 

I also participated in challenge 30 of screen_icons - which were all fairly simple, but I love them. I was going to do all different fandoms but I just loved those two Ghosts (US) pictures. Participated in Round 61 of fandom10in30 along with the vampiremedia's 20in20 challenge (combined old fandom loves and new ones).

Muse-Insanity.org/Icons has been updated a bit more. I finished renaming all my old icons (minus the crossover ones) so I'm currently working on making the fandom pages for each, I think I have most if not all the icons already uploaded to the site so I just need to write up the individual fandom pages really. My problem is I keep making more (or I also get distracted by something else), so it slows me down, lol. 

I also need to make a list on what to tackle on the fandomtrees this weekend, or at least by next weekend. Also signed up for the Sapphic Stocking Stuffers, my thread is HERE.

Added "Writing Prompts" posts to basically all my communities:
