thisbluespirit1. I am now an impatient Yuletider, waiting to have a present to shake! (Where O where is my fic; it's not as if the Deadline is yet to come and I'm being unreasonable! Oh, wait, yes I am...) I am also waiting for two other people to have gifts to I can post their treats. (Which technically I can do anyway, one way or the other, but I'll wait at least a bit longer now. And one of them is not yet typed up and may not work anyway - scary fandom is scary! But shiny prompt is shiny, so shiny...)
2. I was thinking about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dw_allsorts a while ago and wondering, for various reasons, about opening it up to be just table-claiming and not claiming for a specific person/pairing/era, and then I thought that it has tiny prompt tables (3-20 prompts depending) and so that's part of the point. But then I thought about adding in an extra option to liven things up and so now you can claim a theme instead if you wish! (So, say "historicals" or "Villains" or a trope you like or "Crossovers" or "Episode Tags" or "Favourite Pairings"). I am ridiculously pleased with this idea and now want to claim a further table. I think one could go well with my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
genprompt_bingo table! I'm amused at myself; I've finally worked out how to make my own comm more exciting to me. Anyway, I made a post at the comm for that and a couple of other things.
It's been a while since I've mentioned it, so *pimps at the worst time of the year* :dw_allsorts is a low-pressure mini-prompt table community for Doctor Who (of all flavours, including spin-offs). All fanworks are welcome as fills and minimums are pretty minimal! Tables come in sets of 3,6,9,12,15 & 20; you can sign up for up to two claims at a time and you can claim any Character, Pairing, Era, Spin-Off, or Theme that you wish. There are no actual deadlines, but if your first fanwork doesn't appear within three months of signing up, your claim will be removed from the list as inactive, but you can always renew it or pick it up again at any time. People can also suggest new prompt tables if they have ideas. Once you complete your claim, you get a banner of variable quality as made by me (except if you are me, because I draw the line at making myself banners). All the details are here if you want to know more.
3. I have afandom_stocking hung up here, should anyone be interested. (Sign-ups are now over and the stockings are gradually being hung up. I am bookmarking stockings and vaguely hoping that I'll be able to make at least the odd icon here and there, post-Yuletide writing, post-being away etc. etc. and dreaming of ficlets. Who knows?)

(But it was excellent, so well done on the beta!)

Date: 16 Dec 2016 10:01 pm (UTC)It did, I have! It turned up earlier this evening! Shaking produces very exciting results! *trails in shreds of Yuletide tinsel*

Date: 16 Dec 2016 12:24 am (UTC)Speaking of fannish things, have you seen this?: http://networkonair.com/shop/2242-probation-officer-volume-1-5027626437442.html It looks fascinating. And check out the list of guest stars!

Date: 16 Dec 2016 09:56 am (UTC)That does like interesting, yes! I wonder which of the episodes have survived, though? I'll have to keep an eye out for it, though, especially if either the two Alfred Burke eps exist (and Anneke Wills and Avril Elgar got a couple of appearances, too).

Date: 16 Dec 2016 09:59 am (UTC)I know! (I just want a present to shake now, where is it, o where is it? Are they cursing me somewhere even now as they struggle to write my rambling prompts and likes?)
