Wasting Potential

Hello everyone! I had hoped to take part in rec_cember this month by posting a rec post every Saturday, but oops, that didn't go to plan. To catch up, I'll be posting a double helping of recs today. The first helping is fic gifts that have been made for me, originally planned to post on my birthday (which felt timely), and the second is fanart I could look at forever!

My next rec posts, or post, depending on how things go this month, will be podfics I adore and art I've commissioned recently that I'd love more people to see (❁´◡`❁) I hope you find something you enjoy below and are having a great December.

Fandoms with recs: Star Trek: TNG, Monty Python, 17776; What Football Will Look Like in the Future, Pokemon, Black Mirror, SCP Foundation, Independence Day (Movies), Star Wars Original Triology, Slow Mo Guys RPF, Reservoir Dogs, Thor (Movies), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (book canon).

Thank you for checking out my recs! Please let me know if you found anything here you enjoyed 💗

Hello lovely people 👋 It's December(!!), which means... the cute holiday events are here (●'◡'●) Here's a selection of some December events I enjoy, am looking forward to, or am taking part in!

First is the Holiday Love Meme, where you say anonymous nice things about people in fandom you appreciate. I love this event, as it gives me a place and an excuse to say the things I've often been holding onto for a while about people I admire, whose journals I read, or who I just see around and appreciate. It really is the most wholesome of wholesome events.

Other Events

It's now officially rec_cember! (And it's not too late to take part.) I'll be posting a rec post here on my journal every Saturday this month, covering fic, art, and podfic. I'm so excited to share what I've been busy collecting and hope to see lots of recs for fandoms I know as part of the event ^^

It's currently Nandermo Week 2025 (What We Do in the Shadows) on Tumblr, and I've been posting a podfic for each prompt. The host is reblogging all the works created. There's been some really inventive art made so far (such as a single cell organism AU that made me laugh out loud) and it's so fun seeing everyone's take on the prompts.

Woohoo, all post-deadline pinch hits have been picked up for ficinabox, and reveals have been delayed until my birthday, which feels like an extra special treat for me!

The lovely elany has created a song-inspired podfic event, mixtape-bingo, with song suggestions/prompts open all December. Bingo cards will be generated in January with podficcers having a year to get bingo!

There's a new community challenge bingo card for treats created for swrarepairs. Treats can be submitted up until author reveals.

The deadline for latetreatbonanza is 24 December, where you can post those late treats you might have started for exchange participants earlier in the year. You can see who's signed up (i.e., is open to late treats) here or check the event spreadsheet by fandom here.

That's all for now! Thank you for looking - I'm wishing you a lovely December. Under the cut is the best catch I could've used my Masterball on 😊
