I had a chiropractic appointment this morning. He did another exam before the adjustment to determine whether we can go back to regular once-a-week appointments, instead of continuing with three-times-a-week. I’m currently labeling my healing level at 95%. There’s still just that little bit of pain left when I sit too long. I need to remember to ice and do stretches more regularly.

I hit Price Chopper while I was downtown, drove mom to her treatment, did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, ran a load in the dishwasher, baked chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and shaved. I made French toast and bacon for supper.

I didn’t write today, which was a bummer, but I watched Tracker and an HGTV program. Then I turned on NatGeoWild in the background; tonight was Dr. Pol again. I also took a short nap.

Temps started out at 42.4(F) and reached 65.0. There was morning sun, which was nice, but dark clouds moved in after noon and brought some rain with it.

Mom Update:

Mom was doing well. ( more back here )

Woke up 20 minutes before the alarm and thought okay this day shall go well. Oh how wrong I was

I pull into the parking lot, put up my handicapped hang tag and it shattered into 5 pieces. OMFG. It was cracked but I didn't realize it was that bad. I'm gonna have to tape it together until I can get to the BMV.

Get inside to find out our secretary had a major health event and is in ICU on an ecmo which is needless to say serious shit. Scary.

the ladies basketball teams me they're leaving tomorrow for a full week and I have to move the test to be fair to them (which really isn't a problem) so long as they're here for the bone practicum this week.

And then I set up my practicum. 4 and a half hours because shit is missing AGAIN. I know who took it because it's always him. I screwed up the answer key and questions 3 times. I didn't leave work until 830 at night and didn't eat dinner til 9. blech.

I was going to share something fun for music monday that I thought

shipperslist had but I can't find it so since it's writing month let's do music that we want to write to or have written to. One of the stories I want to get on is the "last" story in the All that Glitters Husk Overlord series (well it's where the whole series was heading, to husk/angel becoming a couple) so it gets the world's most sappy love song also for

( INSTRUCTIONS & REMINDERS )

SENDING DEADLINE: Friday, November 21, 2025

Extensions/Defaulting: Pre-research your post office/courier service hours, and plan to send as early as you can! BUT if your best-laid plans fail, and you need an extension -- we get it! Please bypass the shame spiral and email us ASAP. We want to know what's going on but rarely hesitate to grant brief extensions, especially to historically reliable swappers.

And, of course, if you need to default for any reason, the above is doubly true!! Life happens, but if you let us know as soon as it does, we can help out your recipient AND probably have you back next year with minimal anxiety.

Current FAQ and very old resources post here, for anyone who needs them. Questions and comments here or via email, as always.

Project Title: Hope is The Thing With Feathers

Fandom: The Owl House

Link: here on AO3

Summary: It’s only been days since Belos was finally defeated. However, the now-what reconstruction of the Boiling Isles is every bit as terrifying as he and The Collector were, especially when there are those who want the Heroes of the Isles gone for good.

Warnings: canon-typical violence, references to canonical abuse, stabbings, child soldiers, violence against young teens, PSTD, hurt/comfort

Characters: Almost the entire Boiling Isles characters, highlighting Luz Noceda and Hunter

Pairings: Luz Noceda/Amity Blight, Hunter/Willow Park, Edalyn Clawthorne/Raine Whispers

When I Started: May of 2023 soon after the truncated third season aired

How I Lost My Shit: This is two fold. One, I didn’t want easy answers ‘oh hey we won and deposed the emperor and now it’s clear sailing’ but that lead to things getting long and complicated. Secondly, I discovered Hazbin Hotel and it ate my brain whole.

How I Finished My Shit: I determined I needed to finish it for this challenge (which is why it was one of the two I chose) and then I decided which of the plot threads I had to sew up (Hunter’s plight) and which to leave open ended (the fate of the Boiling Isles) figuring I can always write a sequel if I wanted to.

Author's Note: Thanks to AfterIwake for the upcoming cover/chapter art.

This is a bundle of the game Monarchies of Mau, about intelligent "uplifted" cats in a post-human world, from Onyx Path Publishing. It's compatible with an earlier game, Pugmire, about intelligent dogs, which I don't know at all, and includes Squeaks in the Dark, a compatible RPG about intelligent rats. All appear to be based on the OGL rules, e.g. D&D.

This isn't actually a genre that interests me much, but it looks like you're getting a fair amount for your money, and if you're interested it's probably worth a look.

AO3 Link | When They Met (200 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Transformers G1
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jazz/Optimus Prime
Characters: Jazz [Transformers], Optimus Prime, Spike Witwicky
Additional Tags: Double Drabble
Summary:

Sometimes Jazz isn't smooth

When They Met

"So how did you two meet?" Spike asked. To his surprise, Optimus laughed while Jazz reached up and rubbed the back of his neck, a mannerism he'd picked up from Spike's dad.

"Ratchet and Wheeljack did most of the vetting of who would be in the unit closest to me," Optimus began, voice rich with joy and amusement.

"Ratch cornered me when I popped in to drop some intel," Jazz admitted. "I'd already heard stories about Prime, ya see. He was larger than lfe just from the first fight he saved us all in! And I was curious, but… still not really where I thought a Legend like that should be meeting those of us who were doing the dirtier work of spying."

Optimus brought his hand over to Jazz's backplates, and Spike grinned a little, seeing the shape of it.

"Ratchet brought him to interview with me, and I was completely fascinated by all the people Jazz had met before the war, all the stories he had, using them to try and distract me from getting to know him."

"What can I say, Prime? You were YOU, and I was intimidated!"

"I am very glad you got past that."

I finished Cibola Burn this morning. I was very apprehensive about reading it for some reason, but ultimately I liked it more than I thought I would.

( spoilers )

Next up is Nemesis Games, though I may take a wee break. Read something else and watch season 4 of the show.

This is the first of three posts, the others can be found here:Active PH Posts

Pinch hits are participants who are without creators; pinch hitting is the practice of volunteering to make a gift for a pinch hit. These pinch hits are all due on November 13th at 10:00 PM EST.

Fic In A Box has a very unusual set of assignment requirements: everyone is owed (and is asking for) 10k of fanfiction, which by default can be given as one 10k+ fic or several 1k+ fics. Participants have also had the option to opt-in to other minimum lengths or to other formats of fanwork. The other fanwork mediums are given word count equivalents, which you can view on the medium ruleset post.

Additionally:

Fic In A Box creators may default after partially filling their assignment—say, if they discover that they can only write 9k of fic—and PHs can be picked up in 1k increments!
You may always swap all or part of your assignment for a PH, just let us know that's what you're doing when you post to claim the PH.
In the future we'll include details in the post, but for this post we're linking to the app for that to keep the post size down!

I rewatched Top Gun (1986) and Top Gun: Maverick recently, thinking that I might be able to write a fic in the fandom for

fandomgiftbasket. That didn’t happen, but it did make me think about the movies (and germinate my own plot bunny).

Top Gun (1986): I was a 20-year old college student when this movie came out and I loved it to pieces. This is the first movie I saw in the theater more than once. I probably saw it half a dozen times. My main takeaway from watching this movie again 30+ years later is that Maverick sure was one cocky son of a gun and I think Charlie could’ve done better.

Want to talk about the movies or my fic idea?!!

Guess who forgot to set the clocks back before they went to bed? I went right back to bed when I realized the mistake, but Pip had already been up long enough to be too awake to go back to sleep.

Somehow I hurt my eye while I was sleeping. I wear a sleep mask, so I’m not exactly sure how I poked myself in the eye. The sciatica only bothered me for a couple of hours in the evening. Mildly. It was weird how it just appeared and then disappeared.

I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, changed kitty litter, placed an online order, and showered. I grilled Italian sausage for Pip’s supper.

I watched an HGTV program and later had Secrets of the Zoo on in the background. I didn’t get any new words written, but I did read over what I had already written.

Temps started out at 27.9(F) and reached 52.0. It was sunny and there was no wind, but it was still cool.

Mom Update:

Mom looked really good today. ( more back here )
