yuletideysabetwordsmith posting in followfridayHere's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".
malymin posting in betapleaseFandom: Princess Tutu
Characters/Pairings: Mytho and Rue.
Rating & Warnings: Unrated. Not entirely sure what warnings to put on it (may need help with that too), would probably consider it rated Teen at the moment. There's some themes of unreality and depersonalization, at least.
Estimated Fic Length: Currently at 5,889. Not sure how much longer it will end up being.
Notes: This started as a series of post-canon oneshots and twoshots with shared continuity and themes published on Cohost. Before Cohost shut down, it was strung together hastily into three fic entries and posted on Ao3 without proper forethought - I regret not asking a beta reader for input at the time. Need input on overall structure and on how the published chapters "come across" in characterization and tone. Particularly need input on the fic within the series labeled "Magpie," as I'm less confident in its function as a cohesive whole than "Glamour."
Thematically, I'm trying to explore the potential complications of Rue and Mytho's "happily ever after" - ways that they could struggle to fit inside the story-world, that old traumas could cause strain on their marriage, etc. I'm more interested in writing a "messy" or "toxic" relationship (with individual fluffy moments) than a wholesome happy ending here, so keep that in mind.
A few potential new chapters have been drafted for months now, but I've been holding off on publishing them because I want to "clean up" the existing fic - may ask for input on them later.

dirty_dianasnowflake_challenge in January. I also signed up for getyourwordsout, even though the brain fog absolutely hates me these days and I failed my last two pledges really hard. There's no punishment obviously, but I'm not sure if it's helpful or discouraging? But if I didn't sign up I'd kind of miss the community. I am trying not to just give up attempting to do things, even though in this terrible body that often feels like the most logical strategy.festivids, so back to that I go. (I may be catching something rn, because I keep falling asleep. Not helping!) They have a pinch hit up, for anyone less overwhelmed than me. I've signed up for Bulletproof Exchange with a bunch of nonsense requests too? I'm sure it'll be fine. 😂usuallyhats posting in doctor_who_sonicdoctor_watch).doctorwhonews_feed and blogtorwho_feed among others.)unfeathered recommends The Diary of River Song by The Confession Dialannadante posting in fandomcalendarmaevedarcy posting in recthethingrec_cember and I wanted to crosspost the recs here in case people want to browse.tjs_whatnot

Summary: Three months after his presumed final destruction, Orlok’s essence comes forth to seize control of Thomas, and bid him to perform an act of necromancy as revenge. What comes back is Friedrich Harding...and yet not. It is a man transformed into a Nachzehrer, a being hungry for the life and soul and flesh of the only one left of those it once loved: Thomas.

Thursday: Rules that Were Never Written
Jan. 1st, 2026 10:17 pmToday's theme is Rules that Were Never Written. Prompts can be the unspoken expectations, invisible lines, and social contracts everyone seems to know, until someone breaks them.
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling…
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, A character breaks a rule they didn’t know existed.
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, Write about a consequence no one warned them about.
+ Fandom, Character +/ Character, Someone deliberately violates an unspoken rule—and waits.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word!
