I've stopped for the day, I added some words to a fic just not enough to finish it off tonight. It's almost bedtime for me with those pesky early alarms for work, so night all.

My 1000th fic on AO3!
Oct. 31st, 2025 02:53 pmsholioAnd fic #1000 turned out to be .... a follow-up to the time travel Biggles fic that I wrote for Out of Order Exchange. I had threatened to write what happened between Algy and Erich in 1918, and here it is.
Out of Time (2300 wds, Algy & Erich, gen)
The first one should probably be read first, if you haven't already.
And there it is, and here's to the next 1000!

She's Crafty: Hobbit's second Matthew Bourne Junk Journal
Oct. 31st, 2025 05:57 pmstonepicnicking_okapiI spent September working on a junk journal called a 'waterfall journal' or a 'layered journal' [The tutorial I was inspired by and followed was this one on YT channel Treasure Books: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_YIRr-JBe8&t=3634s]
Sir Matthew Bourne is a British dancer and choreographer of whom Small Hobbit is a very big fan. So last year, I made my first junk journal for Small Hobbit [smallhobbit] but I did not have space to include pages from one of the chapters of the Sir Matthew Bourne biography I got to make the junk journal. So this year's junk journal was based on that chapter, which was about Bourne's ballet Edward Scissorhands. So you can see the pages get progressively larger (then smaller) creating the layered or waterfall effect. 1 signature, 5 pages front and back.

Birdfeeding
Oct. 31st, 2025 03:23 pmysabetwordsmithToday is mostly sunny and mild.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches. They drained the hopper feeder.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 10/31/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 10/31/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 10/31/25 -- We set up for our Samhain ritual.
A great horned owl is hoo-hooing outside. :D
I am done for the night.

November Bingo Challenge
Oct. 31st, 2025 09:00 pmprisca posting in allbingoWelcome to our Bingo Round in November 2025. The theme is 'Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories' (including books, movies, and TV shows).
Under the cut, you will find five groups of prompts, each of them coming with a 3x3 bingo card. Additionally, there will be one 5x5 bingo card that combines all prompt groups.
Feel free to create your own bingo card(s) of any size, skipping the prompts you don't like.
While the prompts are based on fairy tales and fantasy, you don't have to stay to these main themes when filling out your bingo card. You prefer to write crime or science fiction, go wild and have fun.
Feel free to interpret the prompts in whichever way you like.
Any bingo pattern you can think of is allowed as long as you create at least three works in total. Fills can be any work type: drabbles, novels, haikus, poems, icons, wallpaper or cakes, and knitted goods, or a mix of it. Whatever you can think of is fair game.

Books
Oct. 31st, 2025 01:53 pmysabetwordsmithlibraries as resistance
In a system that wants to dismantle education and undermine critical thought, libraries become sanctuaries of truth, radical hope, and quiet rebellion.
Generously stocked, freely accessible, public libraries are ideal.
However, if the government destroys them, we have another option: private libraries run by actual bookworms. A library can be stocked quite cheaply with used books, hence the Little Free Library movement and swap shelves. But if you have or can afford to rent or buy space in a building, then you can provide a bigger collection. A private library is not at the mercy of the government, and you are free to do things like ban censorship.
