Okay, I'm going to try and post this, and then some notes from my panel, and then maybe a con report if I get time?! But ahhh I need to pack for Wiscon, two cons on two continents in two weeks seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Anyway! Playlists under the cut for the three shows I helped put together at this year's Vidukon: Sweet Dreams, Go Team!, and Festivids.

So, finale time approaches, and with it the reveal about who Clara Oswin Oswald is. purplefringe has some great meta on the different theories out there. I give you ticky boxes.

( a poll! )

Here is a big spreadsheet of prompts on Google Drive, alternatively, here's the prompts post.

Go forth and create! When you've made something, post a link to it in this post.

Time Loops. Truth Serum. Tentacles. Fandom loves its tropes! But female characters don't always get enough of a look in for the wacky fun of bodyswap and high school AUs, and that's where this fest comes in.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a female character-centric fanwork that uses at least one fannish trope.

NEW THIS YEAR: after some consideration I've decided to open this up to gen and het f/m relationships as well as relationships between women, provided that the fanwork focuses on the female character, or is a roughly 50/50 split between characters. E.g., an Elementary fic in which Joan and Sherlock switch bodies, told from both POVs = okay, but fanart showing Sherlock stuck in a time loop while Joan looks on wouldn't qualify. I trust your judgement! We'll see how it goes this year.

Also this new year: this has always been allowed, but this year I would like to actively welcome tumblr-style graphics and gifs. Fanworks don't have to be posted to DW, just linked here.

Timeline:

Now: open for prompts
Friday May 3rd: prompts collated, open for fills

Fanworks do not have to be in response to a specific prompt or one of the tropes listed below, these are just to get you started. The term 'female character' should be understood to include all characters that canonically identify as or present as women or girls some or all of the time.

Prompt formatting: Please submit your prompts in one comment, in the format Fandom, characters/ships, prompt. Please only use commas to divide those categories, ie not in a list of characters.

Examples:

Any fandom, any queer character, undercover straight
Avengers, Pepper and Natasha and Maria, road trip
Community, Annie/Troy/Abed, everyone thinks they're dating
Doctor Who, River/Eleven, bodyswap
Elementary, Joan, wingfic
Elementary, Joan, telepathy
Legend of the Seeker, Cara/Kahlan, they find a baby

prompt away!

eta: I'm now collating prompts, so please don't edit your comments. If you add more prompts I will try and add them to the list but there may be a delay.

I went to see Iron Man 3 this evening and mostly really enjoyed it!

( mild to moderate spoilers )

It is indicative of my headspace atm and how busy I am that I STILL haven't watched this week's Doctor Who. Um, soon? Probably? In the meantime, hi, have some memes!

So that AO3 hitcount meme's going around again and I don't think I've actually done it before? So here goes, skipping comment fic:

( by hits )

( by kudos )

While I was looking to see if I'd done this before, I also came across the following and I would like to see it do the rounds again:

If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've made and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

Finally got the chance to watch last night's Who.

( spoilers! )
