Happy 2024 Fic Challenge!

Nightmares

Moodboard fills: "Nightmares" - @bingowinteriron

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

Sweet & Spicy Bingo is back!

After some time on Twitter and a long absence, Sweet & Spicy Multifandom Bingo has moved to Tumblr for another seasonal event. Welcome & welcome back to past & future participants!

'Sweet & Spicy' is meant to convey the idea that wholesome vibes and not-so-wholesome vibes can coexist in fandom, whether in separate works or combined into one. Prompts may have positive or negative connotations, but you’re free to use them however you’d like!

Signups for our Winter Edition are open until December 20th, but there's no deadline on submissions.

For the WIP Game, tell me about the No Prompt Left Behind Multiversal Mess? <3

That one is a combination of a Prompt from the Avocados serve, that I found in a previous round of no Prompt left behind and an idea I had a while ago.

The basic idea is that through some magic shenanigans, people travel between multiverses, as is a fairly well known trope.

The biggest difference here is that, instead of multiple versions of the same character meeting, it is a meeting of various characters all played by the same actor, so to each other, it's like looking in a very weird mirror, because the other person looks nearly identical, but they have a wildly different life, sometimes in a wildly different world.

So far the story is mostly a list of a bunch of Marvel characters and other roles their actors have played, but I also have a beginning for the story:

Foggy doesn’t know how he ended up in this mess. The longer he is stuck in it, though, the more it seems like no one else does either. It all started when Foggy left the office earlier than Matt one day. He walked through the neighbourhood like he did almost every day and unlocked the apartment he shared with his partner and husband. But instead of finding it empty, like it was supposed to be, Matt—but not actually Matt—had already been there.

Which of your works is your favorite one out of everything that you've written till now? 👀

Foxy coming in with the really hard questions, huh? /lh

Thank you so much for asking <3

This is hard to answer.

Obviously there is a lot of love and work in my long term projects (Building a Relationship, The sound and the colors of Leaves) and I keep going back, rereading portions and working on them.

I have some where I really liked the outcome, but still think I could have come up with a better/less rushed ending or something. It's almost always the ending I'm not happy with.

I like The quiet life a lot, especially the domestic scenes with the kids. And I keep coming back to that one (and the unofficial first part The Countryside is quiet) and think it deserves another part.

And otherwise it really changes with my mood which one I like most in that moment, so I can't pick *the* favorite. But Quiet Life is definitely up there.

#ITPE 2024 MASTERLIST!

(This has also been crossposted to the Amplificathon DW community)

(If you'd like to see previous years' master lists, 2011 is here, 2012 is here, 2013 is here, 2014 is here, 2015 is here, 2016 is here, 2017 is here, 2018 is here, 2019 is here, 2020 is here, 2021 is here, 2022 is here, and 2023 is here.)

Happy 14th annual #ITPE/technically 1st Informal Tumblr Podfic Exchange!!!! Thank you for bearing with us in our switch to a new platform! We’ve had a few hiccups but now that we know where those are, future years will hopefully run much more smoothly!

Here’s some stats and highlights from this year’s #ITPE!

We had 81 participants this year, and you made 313 podfics (including some ~sekrit~ gifts not available on the masterlist) for a total run time of 140 hours, 59 minutes, and 4 seconds–that’s over FIVE DAYS of audio!

We have 4 simulpods this year! Which is less than we expected, given some of the niche fandoms and crossovers we matched y’all on, so congratulations on finding a diversity of fics to record! @sunshineprincejeremyknox | @flowerparrish and @jeremyknox | @kbirbpods were responsible for two of those simulpods, one which they gifted to each other and the other which they both gifted to the same person. @eafay70 and @tinybluebirdcloak both gifted the same fic to @read-by-silverandblue. Finally, @alliaskisthepossibilityoflove and @rhea314 both recorded the same fic for different participants!

While #ITPE encourages participants to embrace the no-minimums, low-stress vibe, some of y’all do like to Do the Most, and we like to recognize extraordinary effort when we see it!

@opalsong, usually a notorious podfic robot, has had a lot going on this year in terms of school and was worried she would not be able to hit the productivity highs of previous years. So we, as mods, thought, “Great! We know what to do! We’ll match her with someone on one very specific OT3 that this recipient has been requesting for years, in a fandom not especially known for blanket permission, and that way Opal won’t feel compelled to make a bajillion podfics because the pool will be so small! We are solving so many problems with this match!” And we thought we were so clever! Only for Opalsong to find a 90k fanfic and turn in a 12 hour podfic. Well. We tried! But clearly Opalsong is going to Opalsong. <3

By far our most prolific gifter this year was @sunshineprincejeremyknox | @flowerparrish, who not only made 6 gifts for zir recipient (including a 4 hour podfic), but also 31 treats. Not far behind was @mistbornhero who made 7 main gifts and 23 treats! @jeremyknox | @kbirbpods made 4 main gifts and 18 treats! We also had generous treaters in @wanderingjedihistorian, @reena-jenkins, @blackestglass, @pezzax, and @wilfriede! Plus, honorable mentions to @daisydiversions and @annabelle-myrtille for the 10 and 6 hour (respectively) podfics they made for their recipients!

Finally, we'd like to extend some thank you’s to:

-Data mod flowersforgraves for converting all the sign up data to airtable which makes matching so much easier. -Asymptotical and Dragonflies_and_Katydids for creating the coding we used to generate distribution day templates. -Everyone who offered to pinch hit, especially sunshineprincejeremyknox | flowerparrish and @jetainia, though thankfully we did not end up needing them to fulfill those pinch hits! -And as always, @exmanhater for ITPE’s permanent hosting

Now let’s get on to what you’re really here for…..the masterlist!! Here’s the masterlist spreadsheet for this year’s exchange!

Happy listening!!!
