thisbluespiritI'm sorry, I still haven't really tried catching up properly, and next my parents will be here for a week, although that may actually not stop me posting some things.
Anyway, it's nearly![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
yuletide again! I'm not at all sure whether I shall be able to do it or not, but it's looking more likely than I thought, so I have had to consider the important issue of nominations.
Other people have nominated Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully and The Winslow Boy, so my 5 (five!!) are looking like this:
* Enigma (Movie 2001)
1. Hester Wallace
2. Tom Jericho
3. Mr Wigram
* Indigo Saga - Louise Cooper
1. Indigo
2. Grimya
3. Nemesis
4. Fenran
* Mimic (1997)
1. Susan Tyler
2. Peter Mann
3. Chuy Gavoila
* Time Police Series - Jodi Taylor
1. Jane Lockland
2. Luke Parrish
3. Celia North
4. Matthew Ellis
* Wish Me Luck (TV)
1. Matty Firman
2. Colin Beale
3. Liz Grainger
4. Faith Ashley
I was VERY tempted to put down The Schoolmistress (BBC Radio 1991) but I decided that I shouldn't make my Jeremy Northam problem quite as bad as all that. Maybe next time! (Also because I'm not sure what I would request beyond "more shenanigans," really). I might swap out Mimic, though, idk. (I think it would be a great one for the Hurt/Comfort exchange or maybe Chocolate Box because I want a v specific thing (not an unreasonable specific thing), but OTOH I do not seem to be managing more than Yuletide, if even that, at the moment. Hmmm.
I don't know what I'll actually request if I do sign up, as there look like being a fair few other shiny things in the tagset already, just from the nomination coordination post. \o/

Signal boost: Femslash fandoms in flux
Sep. 22nd, 2025 05:38 pmscintilla10letzan posted about recent "high velocity f/f fandoms":I want to shine an occasional spotlight on fandoms that are in flux. There are two kinds of fandoms here:
- Fandoms that are growing rapidly, which are typically not in the top 20 now, and may never get there, but might be interesting for F/F readers to check out and encourage.
- Fandoms that are losing ground on the top 20, and seem to be "post-peak." They may well peak again in the future, but it's a good moment to look back at the impressive amount of F/F which has been written so far.
There were some real surprises (to me) in both the list of femslash fandoms that are growing over the last 3 months, and those "losing ground."
letzan is also soliciting femslash recs for all of the fandoms listed in the post!Take a peek for yourself.
Fic: A Family Affair (Winslow Boy)
Sep. 21st, 2025 08:34 pmthisbluespiritAs I mentioned about a month or so ago, I did some AU_gust prompts, starting with flash fic for the prompt Romance, using the UC generator to get a summary for The Winslow Boy. It was a bit of a complicated summary for flash fic, and it's just taken me about, um, seven weeks to straighten this out into being a reasonably more comprehensible bit of AU nonsense than it was at the start. idk why. Anyway, also for genprompt_bingo & two allbingo squares (for two different bingo fests of theirs, that is, I'm not cheating).
A Family Affair (1472 words) by thisbluespirit

Relationships: Robert Morton/Catherine Winslow
Characters: Catherine Winslow, Robert Morton (Winslow Boy)
Additional Tags: AU-gust | August Writing Challenge 2025, Alternate Universe - Regency, Regency, Unconventional Courtship Generator, Accidental Baby Acquisition, Stranded
