In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.
1. Fan art - I adore receiving fan art for my writing. It always makes my day and I love going back and staring at it over and over again. My writing can be found here. If anything inspires you, then I'd love to see the result.
2. Icons - I'm always on the hunt for new icons that represent my current fandoms. Icons for IT, YuGiOh! DM, MDZS and SVSSS are all very much appreciated as are more gothic/spooky-themed ones.
3. Fandom recs - IT: Welcome to Derry finally inspired me to get my shit together and get a decent VPN, so I'm no longer restricted to things that are available only in Vietnam. So, recs please! I'd love to expand my fandoms list. I'm usually into horror, crime, or things that can be construed in a vaguely spooky way, but I do also enjoy fantasy - specifically either classic fantasy, e.g. The Lord of the Rings, or xianxia.
First and Last Fic Meme
Jan. 8th, 2026 10:14 pmevandarMeme taken from meridian_rose via calliopes_pen:
Take your last 5* fanfics and copy their first and last lines. We have to guess what the story is about!
*you can go back as far as you like to find fanfics where it's not obvious what's happened.
(I'm also using completed works.)
1. First: He walks up the steps to the Niebolt House knowing that what he’s doing is stupid.
Last: He closes his eyes and lifts his hand to his mouth, wraps his lips around his fingers and tastes cotton candy, popcorn, and sickly-sweet death on his skin.
2. First:George pulls his car into the cemetery car park.
Last: He reaches up, and Pennywise grins as he cups its face in his hand.
3. First: The comment arrives on cue, one hour after his latest chapter hits the internet.
Last: A-Yuan doesn’t know it yet, but the sale of his novel – the one he’d took a chance on developing at the retreat – has earned him enough to buy a ring.
4. First: Their parents make her wear a veil every time she leaves her courtyard.
Last: She wants to be sure, before she has to send him back to Cang Qiong, that he’s given her the baby she so desperately wants.
5. First: The palanquin comes to a halt.
Last: He wonders what the monster of Bailu forest is doing now.

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
I think that, outside of fandom spaces like DW and Ao3, the fannish site I've been using the most recently has been the Stephen King Wiki. For obvious reasons, I guess XD Not to say that I don't like rewatching the movies/series at every opportunity, or reading the books, but when I'm writing, I don't always want to find a page or a clip for a quick detail.
I was also involved in the creation of a zine last year, so I'm going to rec it here. I wrote for the ABCs of Problematic Kink zine, which can be read and downloaded here. My letter was N for Necrophilia (it's on pages 31 and 32), and this was the project that I finally decided to write MDZS fic for. It was really fun to be involved with: the community involved in creating the zine were all very friendly and supportive, and honestly, the whole thing was a blast. So, if you fancy having a bit extra short, kinky, dead-dove creations in your life, please take a look!
Books | Reading & Just Finished
Jan. 8th, 2026 12:52 amflareonfuryCrossposting my comment from booknook. If I can remember to keep this up for every "Wednesday Reading Progress" that would be great or maybe every other week. I don't normally post comments on Goodreads just ratings so this might be a good way to remember my feelings about a particular book/author. Please note that I mainly read Romance books, other genres are usually secondary.
In this case, some of my thoughts were already posted in a previous post.

2026 Prediction Meme
Jan. 6th, 2026 12:03 pmevandarThis little book meme is shamelessly lifted from calliopes_pen.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Turn to page 126
3. The 6th full sentence is your life in 2026.
My nearest book is The Shining by Stephen King, so we're off to a great start before I've even opened it.
I'm going to include the following lines since this is actually a bit of dialogue followed by a lovely little sinister premonition.
"I doubt it," Ullman repeated, and he sounded sad. "The place in Florida is a dump, if the out-and-out truth is to be spoken. The Overlook is my real job. Take good care of it for me, Mr Torrance."
"I think it will be here when you get back next spring," Jack said and a thought flashed through Danny's mind.
(but will we?)
So, what this reads as to me is reluctantly turning over responsibility of something to someone else and it all going to hell in a handbasket.

2025 Year in fandom meme
Jan. 4th, 2026 11:51 amflareonfurySnagged from starterpack
Your main fandom of the year? I would probably say MCU, but X-Men would definitely be in second place. Fallout, High Potential and Wednesday took over my brain for most of the year as well. ;) Heated Rivalry took up most of my brain power within the last half of December (and still has it, if this post is anything to go by). ;P
Your favourite film watched this year? Thunderbolts* with Superman (2025) a close second. Fantastic Four: First Steps would probably be third along with Jurassic World: Rebirth.
Your favourite book read this year? The Long Game by Rachel Reid, but before I read that one I'd probably have said Zomromcom by Olivia Dade and The Accidental Housemate by Sal Thomas.
Your favourite TV show of the year? Heated Rivalry along with Doc, SkyMed, Wednesday, High Potential, and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Ghosts (US) is also still really good. Maxton Hall was oddly addictive?
Your favourite online fandom community of the year? I think it would have to say probably100ships mainly because other than mcu100 & xmen100 I was inspired a lot by it. I'll also say seasons_of_fandom, ships20in20, lgbtrainbow - I made a lot of icons because of these communities. Seriously apparently, I made over 1k of icons last year???? I have them in a separate folder than my original icons so I could know what's new for my website. I knew I made a lot... but I did not expect that number (I haven't even officially "released" a lot of them other than on my website).
Your best new fandom discovery of the year? Heated Rivalry/Game Changers
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? I can't really think of anything??? I mean last year was the series finale of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory which sucks. We have to wait x amount of years for new season of Wednesday and SkyMed.
Your biggest squee moment of the year? Heated Rivalry episodes 4-6 probably, especially the last one. Before that I would say Wednesday's last episode of Season 2 (Weyler fans know what I'm talking about).
The most missed of your old fandoms? I read a lot of MCU, X-Men and Harry Potter fic. I can't remember if I branched out to any other old fandoms of mine. Oh wait! There was a couple Ghost Whisperer fics I read...
The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to? I can't really think of any.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year? The rest of High Potential Season 2, Ghosts (US) Season 5, and any other returning shows that I like either coming back from break or a new season.
