Poem: "The Sound of Anguish"
Jan. 4th, 2026 03:32 amThis poem is spillover from the September 2023
crowdfunding Creative Jam. It was inspired by prompts from
curiosity. It also fills the "Rescue / Recovery" square in my 9-1-23 card for the Story Sparks Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with
fuzzyred. It belongs to Aquariana, Cuoio & Chiara, and Marionettes threads of the Polychrome Heroics series, and follows "Help Others to Grow Up."
Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial topics with emotional mayhem. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes traumatic loss, traumatic stress, supporting character death, a crying man, an inept messenger, reference to past losses, upset baby super-intellect, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before deciding if this is something you want to read.

Politics
Jan. 4th, 2026 02:35 amSo today, America's craziness reached a new frenzy...
What’s Happening in Venezuela? Start Here
US forces struck multiple military and civilian targets in Caracas and nearby cities, and captured Maduro. Here’s what we know at this point.
Sovereign countries are not supposed to violate each other's borders or leadership, outside of properly declared war; and that's largely about defense because war of aggression is also forbidden at this time. But people have largely quite caring about those rules, which is a growing problem.

Jan. 3rd, 2026 11:13 pm*british voice* i’m not dead yet!
i’m currently sick with a fever so my posting and work has been slower. i want to get my gen-uary out by the 10th, and it may have to be cut a bit short due to my health.
my mom is on a cruise for the entire month with her cousins, so my brother and i have to babysit their [cousins’] puppy.
i still have to get days 1, 3, and 4 of fluffuary ready, as well as 1 - 4 of whumpuary. though i may have to post everything at once.
i’m a bit nervous because i want to get a lot done, but with how sick i am it’ll have to wait for a bit.

fandomtrees & sapphic stocking stuffers need fills
Jan. 3rd, 2026 09:21 pm So I wrote two drabbles for
fandomtrees today, and if you're interested check out THIS updated post about some needy trees out there. And you don't have to be part of the community/signed up to take part. Feel free to gift stuff to anyone you want to as long as it follows their wants/DNW. End date is January 8 (reveals January 10).
Same thing is happening for sapphic stocking stuffers, there's three left that don't have anything if you're interested/fans of whatever they are requesting. End date is January 8 as well.
at
xmen100 and
mcu100 - both ends January 10.
The below are the NEW monthly challenges!!!

mcu100 - both ends January 31.

Also finally made my first
smallfandomfest entry! Safer With Him (AO3 URL), a Moonlight - Beth/Josef fic. It's also the first fic of the new year that I wrote so yay! Weirdly I ended 2025 with a 1.4k fic and I started 2026 with a 1.4k fic - I did not plan that. Ok so I just have one more for my claims for smallfandomfest.
Thank you to everyone that's promoting
gamechangerhr!!!! And of course everyone participating! I really appreciate it and I hope it grows more. :)
Also
kingstoken has a 2026 Book bingo if you're interested. I haven't quite looked at the prompts but I'm probably going to try do this one. I kinda forgot about the last one, lmao.
Also incase anyone missed it, there's a JANEuary Prompt event at Tumblr. Still not sure if I'm going to write anything, but I do love Jane Austen stuff, and I love Regency AUs. Oh god, if someone wrote a Ilya/Shane Regency AU I would freaking love you. (I'll have to check AO3 if there is one or not already)
Also found out Hey, Sweetheart challenge - hopefully I can think of something by then for it.
