PREVIEW

beware of blood....

snickfic

I finally wore myself out on Oasis and Lord Huron for a minute or two, so here are some things I've been listening to instead.

In the Earth Again by Chat Pile (noise rock/sludge metal) and Hayden Pedigo (acoustic guitarist). A bluesky friend turned me onto this, which is a really pleasing mix between menacing electric guitar and beautiful, contemplative acoustic, among other sounds. The concentration of each varies a lot depending on the track. I still don't love metal singing, and honestly there's only maybe two tracks here that I would choose to listen to on their on, but the interplay of all the elements never gets boring.

Lux by Rosalia. I don't feel musically educated enough to really appreciate this, lol, but it's gorgeous! I do lose steam towards the end once things get slow, but I really enjoy the first half or maybe 3/4.

"House" and "Chains of Love" by Charli XCX. My most recent obsession. Apparently she's making an entire concept album to accompany the new Wuthering Heights adaptation directed by Emerald Fennell? Okay!! I'm only mad I have to wait until February for the album, because I love these. "House" is pretty far outside my usual listening, and she's barely even on it, but that big moment the tuba comes in and then she follows? Incredible. And "Chains of Love" is more conventional and might not have grabbed me on its own, but paired with "House," idk, it really works for me.

Is this what finally gets me to click with Charli XCX? Signs point to yes.

I have a big of a rec backlog now and am trying to work through it, so: here are a bunch of art recs from last year! (One of these days the little AO3 symbol will return from the war.)

Batman: Rainy Knight by

Reused, Batman, SFW. Incredible black-and-white digital piece. The composition!!

Wednesday Addams: Lazy Wednesday Afternoon by

Reused, Wednesday/Enid, very cute.

Cult of the Lamb: Two Bishops by

fayharley, SFW. Two very cool eldritch monsters on traditional media!!

Dredge: No one has ever asked by

araydre, Collector/Fisherman, SFW. Gorgeous colors and shadows in this.

Dredge: Sunset scene by

armadillomania, gorgeous impressionist scene of the fisherman by the lighthouse.

Stardew Valley: late night conversation by Anonymous, Krobus, SFW. Very cute pixel art of Krobus, some junimoes, and a fish.

Original work: anglerfish by

bittercape, NSFW. MERMAID ANGLERFISH. And it's in WATERCOLOR.

Just so you all know, we’ve added a couple of things to the comm guidelines, and one change to the Achievement Badges.

Guidelines

Added to the Submissions and Posting guidelines:

Characters in romantic/sexual ships should be 16 or older, regardless of the rating of the fanwork.

Fanworks of younger characters in relationships are allowed IF the characters are about equal in age and development AND the fanwork is rated General Audiences or Teen and Up. Mature or Explicit fanworks of underage characters are not permitted. For non-human characters or characters with unusual rates of ageing, please use your best judgement.

We've also added in our policy on AI/LLM content (which was previously announced here). Please check that policy if you are including AI/LLM-generated content in your entry. We will tag these works "filter: ai content".

Achievement Badges

Added to the Challenge Streaks:

Streak Aid
If you have a year-long (or more) streak, and you miss a deadline, you can claim a Streak Aid. With a Streak Aid, you can post a work for the missed prompt by the end of the next round, and we will consider your streak unbroken.

If you use a Streak Aid, you cannot claim another Streak Aid for at least 12 months.

If you have any questions, please let us know. :-)

ETA: Teaotter's personal context about the rules change, linked with permission.

teaotter posting in

fan_flashworks

Our new challenge is:

FIRST AID

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Monday, December 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for

fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details.

Also, keep an eye out for the next

ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the

ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Thank you to everyone who participated! You're now free to post your entries to your journal or wherever else you'd like. If you're archiving on AO3, you can add your work to our fan_flashworks collection there.

The Community Report and Creator Report will be updated shortly with the entries from this round. See our FAQ for more details.

New challenge coming right up!

Can you believe it? We are twenty days into our Year-End Marathon! That means we're roughly a third of the way through the challenge, for a par of 10 000 words or 10 days towards your YEM pledge. But whether you're on par or not, we'd love to hear how things are going for you. Your triumphs and your frustrations. Are the words flowing like water or does it feel more like time is slipping through your fingers? What can we do to help you reach your goal?

For myself, I've been struggling to get words into the project I was wanting to focus on this month. The desire is there, but bum glue has been in short supply. And then a whole new (and much shorter) project blossomed into my GYWO Scrivener project and oh look at that, words! 😅

If you're soaring ahead, great job! If you feel like you're falling behind, just remember this is a Marathon and we've still got a good ways to go. You could have zero days of writing and still make a daily writing pledge, so hang in there!

This is not a check-in post and participation is entirely voluntary. The official YEM check-in will happen on Discord at the end of the month, and while that is also entirely optional, we strongly recommend it as a way of supporting your writing habit.

Watership Down was so inaccurate to rabbits.
Nobody even got castrated for annoying a female rabbit or anything.
