WIP Warriors Round 6

The WIP Warriors doesn't care that I have a thousand other things to do, so here is the next round and the next poll.

150 Words / vote. Please go ham.

Happy 2024 Fic Challenge!

@jandjsalmon and I are here with the new fic reading challenge for 2024! Heck yeah! Jandy did most of the work this year, I'll be honest, and the new challenge looks great!

For the uninitiated, basically there's a bunch of tasks to complete as you read fanfiction over the year. For example, read x number of authors, read a new ship, read a fic with x in the title, etc.! It can be a fun way to challenge yourself, or to help you read more, or to discover new things you might never have tried!

But here, without further ado...

2024 Fic Reading Challenge spreadsheet

There are also two fic trackers you can use (or you can create your own, of course).

Jandy's Fic Tracker

Juulna's Fic Tracker

Remember that for any of these spreadsheets, you need to 'make a copy' for your own use. Otherwise you won't be able to edit anything!

We have a pinned post with all the important links, but I'll include a couple here for ease of access.

We have a Discord!

We also have completion badges every year, and here are last year's as an example. (They are adorable.)

And, of course, there are rules (with a helpful FAQ).

Anyone is welcome to join, even if you don't hang out with us in the Discord! And the whole challenge is done on the honour system. You say you completed Extreme Mode? I ain't checking that out! :P

Well, we hope that everyone has a good time with this year's challenge! We're as excited as you are. And remember: there's never a stupid question if you need to ask us anything. We do accept Anon asks, too. <3

Have fun reading, and here's to a great 2024 overall!

Not actually the last thing I wrote, but the last unposted thing.

From an unposted Matt/Foggy College AU:

Foggy sighed, and Matt knew he had caught onto the pause that was Matt thinking about his old mentor. But even though Foggy didn’t know what he wasn’t saying, they had known each other long enough for him to know that asking would just make the problem worse.

Tagging @foxywrites @schildmehdchen @0nelittlebirdtoldme and whoever else is interested.

Wing Matt for @stripedscribe!

You can't prove me wrong because I'm not wrong. :gumpy: /lh

WIP Warriors FFB Edition 1

So, apparently one WIP Warriors isn't enough, so now there is Fandom Free Bingo Edition too...

Also I was more or less dared to make it 500 Words/Vote...

Yes, I should be doing other things, why are you asking?

Sweater

Title: Sweater

Pairing: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier

Rating General Audiences

Arcive Warnings: None apply

“Schatz, have you seen my sweater?” Eriks called from the bathroom.

Charles, who was lounging on the bed, pulled his sleeves over his hands, trying not to giggle. “Which sweater? The one with the stripes?”

“Yeah, the one mama knit me for Christmas last year.” Charles heard Erik ruffle through the laundry hamper. “I saw it somewhere around here yesterday.”

“Maybe in the closet?”

Erik stepped into the room and his gaze fell on Charles on the bed. Then he realised where he had seen the sweater: on Charles. “You are such a…”

Charles smirked, and both men started laughing.

@flufftober

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
