I shouldn't laugh...
7 February 2026 03:35 amstarwatcherBut I'm laughing with this person, not at them. I picture a very young fan person in their first flush of discovering the magic that is fanfic, and realizing that they can write it themself.
"When I wrote one of my first My Little Pony fanfics, I made the main characters teamsters, because my hasty research into fan fiction suggested that shipping was popular."
(From halfway down this thread.)
I can't help it; I'm still wearing a big grin on my face.

Return of the teenage boyfriend! (and pics)
5 February 2026 01:41 pmmificRemember how my boyfriend from when I was 17 turned up out of the blue? Well, he dropped in again after doing his NZ tourist trip, and left me a bunch of memorabilia so I could scan it then mail it back to him. The letters (mine) are... written by an over-dramatic teenager with poetic delusions, so I quickly noped out of reading them. The pics are kind of fun, though, despite my terrible hairdo.

Seasonal cards 2025
4 February 2026 10:19 pmmificThe usual sample of some of my seasonal cards. Hopefully they've all arrived by now, or will very soon. This year I decided to paint people freehand (which means they're all a bit wonky) and then name them after less well known minor deities - it's called the Small Gods series. I had fun, anyway - it's always good to get back into watercolours again (although I use them more like gouache), after mostly working in Procreate the rest of the year. Embellished with metallic paint in various colours, gold, and silver, for a festive touch. Hopefully you can see the sheen a little in the way I've photographed them.

I'm reccing crossovers at
stargateficrec this Feb. I had a list. The same kind of list we all have of favorite rereads. And yet, I can't rec most of them because they're under an AO3 lock. (you have to be a member to read).
People lock their fic for good reasons. It's silly to rec a story some people won't have access to.
The solution *crackles knuckles* read more crossovers!
I soooo got this.
Amazing videos - not just Heated Rivalry!
3 February 2026 12:49 pmmificTwo extraordinary CGI sci-fi vids about the exploitation of a distant alien planet. Extraordinary visuals.
solstice-5 [00.10.37]
solstice-5 forgotten archives [00.11.12]
And a brilliant and hilarious short HR edit that turns the show into a thriller murder mystery.

Three HR recs
2 February 2026 01:34 pmmificTwo hot off the press HR recs, and an older GC one.
cut to the feeling - by Charlotte_Stant, one of my fave authors in HR and HR RPF. For magical realism reasons, 18 y.o. Shane wakes up in the body and life of himself at age 35, married to Ilya. It's brilliant, very funny and just the best "crack taken seriously" imaginable. Also hot as hell. So good.
Torture Me (With All I've Wanted) - by Toomuchplor, also an absolute fave author. 17 y.o. Shane and Ilya end up on a long bus ride together. Under a blanket. Yes, it's super hot but all the details are so lovely, the writing so good. I love it.
And so it's gonna be forever has already been reccd by people and is still a WIP damn it, but it's completely addictive. I just loooove fix-it fics, and in this, Ilya dies in the Centaurs' plane crash but is magically transported back to his teens again, reliving his life with all his future memories intact, determined to get it righter this time - and boy, does he make some changes. I could do without a few of the mystical bits but the majority of this fic is like pure crack to me.

ICE OUT - open for donations
2 February 2026 04:53 pmmificIt's run a bit differently to FTH. You donate in one of 3 tiers - $5, $10, or $20. For the lower tiers you don't get much, or any, choice, just an HR fanwork assigned to you as thanks for the donation. For the $20 tier you get a bit more choice and can specify the type of fanwork (art, fic, podfic, vid, etc.), and can give a brief prompt for the creator. But this isn't an auction - you can't put in bids for a specific creator's work. The mod assigns you, like a matchmaker.
Anyway, if you'd like to donate, here's the post: donations form here
To complete the form you'll need to have already donated. I did most of the form then jumped sideways to do the donation to one of their listed orgs, then I completed the form. Seemed to work okay.

How Did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge Go?
It went well. I had to stretch my moodboard muscles. I reached out to (new to me) snowflakers and some of them reached back. Very CooL.
I'm glad I took part, and I'm looking forward to next year.
