I love love love the concept for this exchange: blurring the lines between relationships and letting things just hang (temporarily or permanently) in this ill-defined middle is one of my very favourite things to do to my ships!! <3
Here’s a list of some takes on this dynamic that I really love to see:

And here's my general fandom exchange letter for general likes/dislikes! <3

How to Organize Your Story Submissions
With Free Downloadable Spreadsheet
I’m a huge fan of spreadsheets! So I’m sharing the 8 tables I use to answer 3 important questions:
1. Where the heck did I send my story?
2. Do I have a story to fill this call?
3. What is my history with this story/publication?
Happy writing!

As the post title says, I'm on vacation! So this will (possibly) be relatively brief today. The best thing I saw on the drive up was a highway bulletin-board ad that read, "Need legal advice? Don't ask us! We're just a bakery!" A++ aversion of expectations, would eat their cinnamon rolls again, lol. (Seriously, soooooo many ads for lawyers. And controlling women's bodies. o.O)
Anyway, here's where I am for this week:
September word count: September has ended, and through the end of September I wrote 216k! I am pretty on track to get 250k by end of year. I have 83 works published de-anon at this point (although quite a few not yet revealed.)
Goals for this week: 1) Hiking trip, vacation, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 😊 2) Finish reading Tomb of Dragons. 3) Maybe read some other stuff if I have time.
Anyway, here's where I am for this week:
- Exchanges due in September/October (enemiestoloversex, cuppajoexhange, Come in a Flash, sexpollenplus, ficinabox, trickortreatex, seasonofdrabbles + mystery pinch-hits and treats + future sign-ups): I am now at 11/15; I got done exactly what I need to last week! 😊 I'm setting myself a goal for nothing this week, because I'll be on vacation the whole time, so I'm very busy hiking and working jigsaw puzzles. Although I am doing a bit of research into something that might turn out to be a treat. I'll be busy next week for sure (especially since there are a couple outstanding pinch-hits that I am the candidate the grab), but I'll worry about that then. If I feel inspired to write anything this week, that's just a surprise bonus!
- Exchanges due in November/December (fffx, ficinabox treats, seasonofdrabbles treats, yuletide_admin + mystery pinch-hits and treats + future sign-ups): The only assignment out so far is fffx, so I'm currently at 0/1. I did skip both eatdrinkmakemerry and amperslashexchange. I checked on nominations for seasonofdrabbles and am good there. It looks like I'll have a very light Nov/Dec docket, but I have plans for that!
- Exchanges that will go into 2026: au5k & highadrenalineexchange.
- Nope, nothing new on Femslash Salad Bar...
- I did, indeed, get The Tomb of Dragons in time for my trip, and am reading that and enjoying it loads, per usual. Finishing this is one of my few plans for the week!
- I haven't hit the top of the hold queue yet for Nona the Ninth, but I still suspect it will crop up this week and there are decent odds I'll finish this, too.
- Wen Guan by Qi Xiao Huangshu - I didn't do any reading on this. If Nona doesn't come in before I finish Tomb of Dragons, I'll resume this.
- I'm just starting Ch16 of Dear Door, which is proving to be the porny fun I was hoping for, and I'm continuing to read it at my leisure.
- BNHA: S8 has started, but I won't see it until post-vacation! And the movies/OVAs continue to be my back-up treat
- Fall Horror-Movie Season! Nothing this week since I'm away, but I did watch two more last week, and have some thoughts:
- Crimson Peak: Well, this movie as a hot mess. But, y'know, some fun gothic aesthetic stuff going on, and I can't complain about Hiddlesbutt. I thought the ending was fairly meh, but I was entertained through the majority of it. I think fandom (and the fact that it's the 'twist' so often it's become cliche) had inured me to incest at this point. My reaction to it is: soooooooo?
- 10 Cloverfield Lane: LOLWUT?! 🤣 I enjoy John Goodman, so I was curious about this, even though I'm not a fan of survivalist bullshit, post-apocalypse, OR J.J. Abrams. And I was a bit wary of the blurb sounding a bit like 'Misery in reverse, but with possible creepy rapist vibes if a women is the victim', and that last one fortunately enough wasn't too big an issue. I did enjoy the whole 'trapped in the bunker, is John Goodman completely crazy and gaslighting everyone or not?' bits. There was some decent suspense and mystery there. And I did have the thought at one point, 'If I was writing crack!fic about this, she'd get out and there'd TOTALLY be aliens!' I...did not expect that to be the actual twist. 😝 Like, I figure most people have more sense than me, but then this is J.J. Abrams, ye great master of bullshit nonsense. So, uh, yeah. That was a thing they did, where they grafted a movie with COMPLETELY different tone and aesthetic onto the last ten minutes. Which, I guess, was a choice? I feel like there were two potentially decent movies here, but they did not successfully mesh. So, yeah, that was a thing. This week's selections were not as successful (for me) as last week's, for sure!
September word count: September has ended, and through the end of September I wrote 216k! I am pretty on track to get 250k by end of year. I have 83 works published de-anon at this point (although quite a few not yet revealed.)
Goals for this week: 1) Hiking trip, vacation, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 😊 2) Finish reading Tomb of Dragons. 3) Maybe read some other stuff if I have time.
It took me from 7 AM to 2 PM, with a few minor breaks for food and coffee, but I finally finished Chapter 21 of Three and a Half Steps!
This one was tough for me to write. The action sequence was eluding me, so I focused on the other parts, until finally it all came together.
I'm quite happy with it now, and I think my faithful readers will be, too!

Title: Friends to count on
Fandom: MCU (What If)
Relationship: Natasha Romanoff & Captain Peggy Carter
Rating: T/Gen
Word count: 350
Tags: Friendship, Bad Decisions
Summary: Helping her friends was more important than following orders.
Forseasons_of_fandom's round 1, challenge #1: Royal Rumble
She wouldn’t even be there if Clint hadn’t gone against orders to try to recruit her rather than kill her, and neither of them would still be there if they hadn’t saved each other’s lives against orders at least a dozen times each. And that was before Peggy came into the equation, the perfect soldier, but someone who would never follow an order that she didn’t believe in, and who would often question everything that she was told.
They’ve been in trouble together more times than she could count, even if those times had been about bending or conveniently ignoring orders rather than directly going against what they were told. But that didn’t matter, they were friends, and that had to come before whatever orders they were given.
She still thought that what Peggy wanted to do, going after Steve Rogers and finding a way of rescuing him, was reckless and had a good chance of ending in both an international incident and both of their deaths, but she knew Peggy well enough to know that with or without help she was going to do it. And this would be slightly less of a suicide mission if they were both in it, even if the needle wasn’t moved by much.
What made Nat defect was in part wanting to do something that she could believe in, but what made her stay with SHIELD were her friends, the few that she had, and if she had learned one thing over the years, it was that standing by her friends was far more important than following orders could ever be.

Nat had been with SHIELD long enough to know a few things. The mission was more important than everything else, even if that meant that some of them would have to die. Sometimes, people just had to be left behind because saving them was too much of a risk. They had to think of the consequences of their actions, even if that sometimes meant abandoning a friend.

The Day 4 prompt, "Pegging with a Square Peg," amused me greatly. All of those square 8-bit or 16-bit characters should qualify, right?
So here's what I came up with.

In public. Up the ass. In a group setting.
After all, Black Mage really does deserve it.

I forgot I was doing this. Well, here's part 4 of maevedarcy's 72 Multifandom questions to ask a fangirl
Favorites and Preferences
1. Who is your favorite character or member within your fandom, and why?
When it comes to Smallville, well, Superman has always been my favorite hero and even SV Clark had my heart early on and then Lois once she showed up. I think as I got older, I somehow got more sympathetic towards him. He's so young and tried his best, even when he made mistakes. With the MCU, it's Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. Again, the "boy scout" characters tend to have my heart, especially when they're more complex than on paper. With my current fandom, 9-1-1, that would be Eddie Diaz. I was really drawn to him from the first episode he was in and he just kept growing on me. He's just fun and snarky and competent and such a good dad.
2. What is your favorite installment, episode, or album from your fandom?
I do like the early seasons of Smallville, specifically 3, but even though it's wacky, for a long time, 4 was my favorite. Probably because it leaned into the really weird and I kinda enjoyed the cracky moments. I don't love the doom and gloom all the time. The first half of s8 was strong and then it weakened. 9 was my favorite after that.
I don't love the handling of SHIELD but CA: TWS is probably my favorite MCU movie.
Season 3 and season 4 are tied for my favorite 9-1-1 seasons.
3. Do you have a favorite quote, lyric, or saying from your fandom?
Clark's "I stand for truth, justice, and ... other stuff" does still make me laugh, because of the delivery.
Athena's voice over in the s2 finale of 9-1-1 (I miss the voice overs), specifically, "This is how we save ourselves, by saving each other, because nobody, not anybody, has ever been saved alone."
4. What’s your favorite fan-created content (art, music, video, story) related to your fandom?
Yeah, there's no chance I can narrow it down to one or even five for any fandom. :D
5. Who is your favorite pair or group within the fandom in terms of chemistry or dynamics?
I've always been drawn to Clois in most versions of Superman and Smallville wasn't an exception. I did start writing fic for Clark/Oliver, a ship that snuck up on me and then inspired me to join fandom because barely anyone else was writing them and I figured I would give it a shot. I love a bit of a push/pull dynamic with ships so Steve/Tony after The Avengers and Sam/Bucky post CACW. With 9-1-1, it's Buck/Eddie. I actually didn't expect to ship them when I started watching the show. As much as I like friends to lovers, the best friend ships rarely appeal to me and I tend to prefer them as just friends, and my brain can be a little contradictory in general when it comes to the juggernaut, but this one really stuck.
6. Do you have a preferred genre when it comes to fan fiction or fan works in your fandom?
Probably romance/drama. I like canon level action fics (can't handle anything too violent), and while I enjoy fluff, if it is longer than a couple of thousand words, I need some sort of plot.
7. What’s your favorite piece of lore or backstory within your fandom’s universe?
With Smallville, I've read that Lois's nickname for Clark (calling him "Smallville") was an accidental slip by Erica Durance and it just stuck, which I love. I also like that it was her idea to nix the kiss in 8.15 "Infamous" and to jump on Clark after the secret reveal in 10.05 'Isis'.
When it comes to 9-1-1, the fact that Ryan Guzman and Oliver Stark seemed to have a hand in naming "Buddie" is my favorite. I wasn't in the fandom/watching back then, but I found a screencap of an old post from the official 9-1-1 account asking people if they were on "Team Buck or Team Eddie". And I think Oliver Stark must've called them "Beddie" because RG's replied, correcting it to Buddie, and OStark agreed that they can go with that. So if that was the first showing of the ship name, that's pretty great.
8. Is there a particular scene, moment, or episode that always makes you emotional or excited?
With Smallville, Clark & Ryan always gets me emotional, especially in the hot air balloon moment. There are a ton of Clois moments I love, but one of my favorites will always be the Dunk Tank scene because Clark & Lois have such good chemistry already and it's just a few episodes in. Plus she is a pro at getting him to smile, even when he tries to be annoyed with her. Even Tom Welling had said that Lois brings out a different side of Clark. It's true, she does. The Piggy Bank conversation also gets to me because she understands him so well even without knowing his secret, and isn't afraid to be firm while being sympathetic at the same time (which is something I love about her). There was also a moment toward the end of 9.04 "Echo" with Clark & Oliver talking on the balcony and the way Clark told Oliver he still believed in him was so good, even if they handled Oliver's very real suicide attempt badly. s8 was such a rough go for their relationship and I was frustrated. To see them have a moment like this in s9 really gave me hope.
In 9-1-1, all the Tsunami scenes in early season 3 get to me, especially the one where Buck is explaining to Eddie that he lost Christopher. It's so painful to watch Buck try to explain and the resignation, moving on to grieving look on Eddie's face, before Chris is found. Of course Eddie telling Buck about his will remains a top moment too.
9. What’s your preferred platform for engaging with fellow fans and content (forums, social media, etc.)?
I've always preferred journal based sites, probably because I was mostly on fandom in the peak LJ days, so I still love Dreamwidth best, but I do like Tumblr for the gifs, and it is nice to chat on Discord from time to time, even if I can't really keep up with any of the servers.
10. Can you name a favorite moment when the community came together to support the fandom or a cause?
I've seen a lot of works created for a 9-1-1 for Gaza event but I can't say I know the origins, but that was awesome. I generally think it's great when fandom does that kind of thing. Whether it's thesunflower_auction or Marvel Trumps Hate or Fandom Trumps Hate.
11. What’s your favorite way to show your fandom pride (cosplay, apparel, tattoos, etc.)?
I don't know if I really have a way. I don't really go out searching for fandom merch, mostly because I know it will collect dust somewhere and I'm so bad about being organized already. The only time I actively went out for something was Tom Welling & Erica Durance were featured on the TV Guide cover. I still have that issue.
12. Who’s your favorite content creator, artist, or writer within the fandom, and what do you love about their work?
Fanfic is hard to narrow down, but I've enjoyed watching fanvids again once I got to 9-1-1/Buddie so a couple of vidders I like are:

I also need to start researching for my 10 Items or Fewer exchange, which is due October 25.

I know I said I wasn't going to do any -tober prompts this year... but then I saw the Schlocktober prompts. And I couldn't pass up the Day 1 prompt "Inappropriate Use of Labubus."
Gosh, those dolls are hideously ugly. I really don't understand why they're so popular, unless it's like that one episode of "Leverage" where the team had to start a fake craze for the ugliest doll ever devised.
Thinking about how Labubus could be used inappropriately made me remember some times I've had where my dominant girlfriend would playfully torment me with sensory toys that were... unusual in nature. (There were also other times where she set them up like judges, complete with giving each one of them a personality and telling me how they 'scored' me for my 'performances'... Good times!)
I decided neither one of those scenarios was quite right, but I figured out how to make a dominant Kagome use them on her husband InuYasha. My daughter has been rewatching InuYasha recently, and it reminded me how much I think these two are a female-led D/s couple.

Summary: Mel is attacked by the black rose, and can do nothing to defend herself.
Forseasons_of_fandom's round 1, challenge #1: Royal Rumble
She's about to leave Elora when it happens. The noise catches her attention, and then it's all too fast for action.
The blood dripping from the ceiling, only it's not blood and it spreads like something alive, an aspect of the rose that appears above them, the way that Elora just stops, her body moving in almost convulsive jerks, strangely mechanical in a way that betrays that there's something wrong with her, and then she turns, unnatural, like twisting the head of a doll, and the rose blooms from her eye like a paralisite.
It's horrible, it's horrifying, but there's nothing that she can do to stop this. There's nothing that she can do to save Elora, and Mel is practically frozen in place. She knew there was something that her mother was hiding, something terrible that must be going on for her to come here, but she doesn't know enough to stop the darkness that's covering the room, so fast and all encompassing, but in a movement that seems to stretch impossibly to her eyes as she realizes that she's caught in a trap, that this is an attack that she can't escape.
Mel can't even run away as the thorny vines approach her, consuming everything in their path. There's nowhere to run, and she can barely take a step back until she's stepping on these vines that seem like paint on the floor. And just as easily as they cover the room, they move up her body, and it's too late to try to do anything against them. She doesn't know enough about the arcane, or even Black Rose to defend herself, so all she can do is stand in frozen horror as the vines take over her completely.
She's surrounded, engulfed, and then she feels herself just disappear.
