 -I updated my intro post with a little more info. Basically, ships I'll write for prompt posts, a list of tropes I like so you could see what to expect, and master lists to edits (icons, really) and fics. And lastly, a little to-do list of fandom events for this month, to help me keep track of things (and publicise my shame if I don't deliver xD).

-Speaking of edits and fics, I still accept prompts for ficlets here, and icon requests here, during the rest of the weekend. I made a few The Good Place icons and wrote a couple of short ficlets: a Carmilla/Laura (book) Snow White AU, and a Cersei/Sansa The Hunger Games AU.

-ETA: I ended up checking out the Three Sentences Ficathon and I wrote a couple of gen (didn't know I had it in me) mini ficlets: Sansa + no queen has clean hands and Diana + time.

-I commented on the snowflake friending meme here, if anyone's curious. It won't let me edit to add a couple fandoms I missed LOL (HP and old Hollywood films mainly). 

-I decided that in order to get my Star Trek rewatch started, I'm going to start by watching every show's pilot, including those I haven't watched yet (TAS, Enterprise, and Picard). Then I'll get on with a TOS rewatch, and so on. I started yesterday by watching The Man Trap -Netflix wanted me to watch The Cage first, but I refused). I love Kirk's intro, teasing Bones about his ex. And I always enjoy it when Uhura teases/flirts with Spock ("tell me I'm pretty and tell me about Vulcan under the moon", "Vulcan has no moon", "I'm not surprised!" LOL). As a "first contact with an alien lifeform" is not my favorite example, nor one of my favorite TOS episodes, but it's entertaining enough.

-How is it that I adore cheesy, over the top, grandiose love stories in film etc. (A Knight's Tale, Ever After, But I'm a Cheerleader, Crazy Rich Asians, Titanic, Lois & Clark...) but I can't ever write them UGH. One of the fics I want to do for this month is supposed to be inspired on romance novels conventions; I do well with those because they're often things that squirt the line into the messy tropes I love, but HEA are hard to write for me LOL. Even "happy for now" endings. Basically closed endings, especially closed happy endings, don't jive well with me.

AKA rec yourself and rec at least three fanworks you didn't create.

I wanted to post at least one fic before I got to this challenge LOL, but my WIPs are not collaborating with me right now, and I'd like to catch up with the challenge, thank you very much (I have a rare free day, so I'm going to try to do as many of these as possible. Sorry in advance for spamming your reading pages).

Since it wasn't possible, I'll link to a couple of posts I posted in @monthlysupergo for this month's challenge: icons. In my case, Wonder Woman icons (misc, and from this week's anthology issue). I made my dreamwidth icons too, and I'm quite proud of them -visual arts of any kind are NOT my thing, but these all turned pretty well, if I say so myself. And since I have so very little output in terms of fanworks, here are the icons or headers I use in other platforms too :)

As for other people's fanworks: one of my favorite things in fandom, one that never fails to impress me, is fanart. Maybe it's because I struggle to draw a straight line with a ruler, I don't know. But there are so many gorgeous pieces out there, and at least 70% of why I made myself a tumblr account was to reblog them and have them stored somewhere. Some of my favorite ones:

• DC
  
  • BatCat fanart: Selina with a cat and a jewerly collection and Batman in her mirror (I know some people complain about comics and other canons returning Selina to a jewerly thief from time to time but... can't relate, I love it. It's The Chase!), vampire Bruce in a mascarade, and this adorable drawing of Bruce presenting himself as a gift to Selina, naked minus the cowl and an strategically placed bow xD
  • Diana as a boxer. 
  • Harley and Ivy kissing on pride parade in the famous V-J Day pose.
  • Jason Todd as a very frustrated Batman, and as a priest in Flashpoint. And as Red Hood in various canons and uniforms.
  • And this amazing fanart from the TV show Gotham of teen Bruce with an ominous Batman shadow.
• Disney:
  • From The Little Mermaid, have Ariel as Ursula's apprentice and this gorgeous homage drawing to the film.
  • And this chilling Tangled fanart.
• Vaggie from Hazbin Hotel as an avenging angel.
• Mrs. Coulter from His Dark Materials sitting on a throne.
• These Jennifer's Body drawings that are both cute and unsettling, somehow.
• Marvel
  
  • Superior Iron Man being hot.
  • Tony with a sword and shoulder armor, because.
  • Tony and Pepper fighting back to back in Endgame.
  • Rule 63 Winteriron Sleeping Beauty AU, with bonus armor porn.

And to finsih it off, I wanted to rec two fics I read recently (and finally commented on): O Rose thou art sick, an Aurora/Maleficent what-if for the Disney film (mind the warnings); and itches in the front, a short BatCat smut fic with some domme Selina.
