Snowflake Challenge day 11

[cornerofmadness]

Day 11 Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing or trope. Try creating a different kind of fanwork. Or check out some types of fanworks that are new to you.

I did two things. I checked out a couple of podcasts of Welcome to Night Vale I did love it, however, I'm going to have to take it in small doses. Oh how hard it is for me to sit still and just listen any more. Reminds me of The X-Files and a shared world I used to belong to, The Cauldron.

And I wrote in a new to me fandom: Sleepy Hollow. Thanks to evil_little_dog for helping me find just the right silly.

Ichabod looked at the stack of clothing Abigail had procured for him. He had been obstinate about trying any of it on. He told himself that was partly because it felt odd and uncomfortable to have a woman other than his wife buying him something so intimate. The full truth was the clothing scared him. It was so different than anything he had ever known. He clung to his coat and old fashioned clothing like a life line.

However, he also believed Abigail would keep her word and peel him out of them by force if he didn’t at least try to be more modern. As if modern were somehow better. Sighing, Ichabod stripped, showered, then eyed the handful of extremely cut off breeches Abigail had called ‘underwear.’ He had blushed when she explained they went on under his pants. Ichabod guessed men of this time didn’t tuck their tunics around their privates before putting on their breeches like they did in his day.

With one exception, they were all white with a hole in the front for a convenience Abigail didn’t have to explain. The exception was black and covered with ovals of either grey or yellow in which was a stylized bat. Ichabod couldn’t fathom why anyone would want such a thing, but he pulled them on anyhow. The cloth was amazingly soft. He had never had anything remotely this comfortable around his nether regions before. He wiggled his hips a little, feeling the soft cloth shifting over him without the least bit of galling.

Ichabod tossed his usual clothes back on. He wasn’t sure he was up to the rest of the modern clothing. The underwear, he decided, was simply heaven. No man gave up heaven willingly.

Yay for Nightvale! It is a very fun podcast, but yeah unless I'm riding the bus I usually can't listen for it too long as I get easily distracted lol.

And your Sleepy Hollow ficlet is a very fun read! Yes Ichabod, embrace the modern underwear. :P

I've been seeing it pop up over on gsd_rtfn and it sounded interesting but wow, I have the attention span of a goldfish any more.

Thank you. Ichabod is! Joe Boxer is so much better than wrapping his bits in wool and/or linen
