where the planet geek

Dear Author,

Coming up with prompts is fun for me, but I’m totally fine if you get your own idea. I love surprises and look forward to reading whatever you come up with. Thank you so much for writing something for me!

Challenge #5

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents:

1. Something your favorite character would like



I think "Dear Diary" Stefan Salvatore would like my new journal. Probably not the color. But the 'I'm having deep thoughts and need to record them while brooding handsomely' energy behind the vegan leather.

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive.

Fic Recs: Supernatural Gen! I feel myself headed for a rewatch of season one, and I know I'm going to be in the mood to read once I get into that space. Monster fic, angst fic, humor, the Winchesters getting into any kind of canon-typical trouble. I love both long and short fic, case fic, action/adventure, horror. Anything that vibes with the earlier seasons or takes place later in the series is both fun.

Book Recs: Thriller novels written by women. I have a few on my TBR, but I want more! Author recs in general if they've written a bunch worth checking out are also welcome.

Icons: I am back in a deep hole of Vampire Diaries feels. I am always on the hunt for more TVD icons. I have a lot in my stash, lol. Some characters I have less of: Matt (I've found so few!), Tyler, Jeremy; Combos: Jeremy/Tyler, Stefan/Caroline, Damon/Elena, Bonnie & Caroline & Elena (I love this trio, plus any of the girls & Matt), Damon & Liz. Also, I always love icons with quotes!

Pictures: I like chubby animals and can always use a laugh! Hippos, marmots, seals, anything really. It's a fast way to a huge smile. :D

That's a wrap on Round 4. Third time was the charm for me! I go through stretches where I don't read much fic, if any, and this challenge is fun because it reminds me to go do that hobby I like. Even when I am reading fic, I'm such a mood reader that getting a bingo isn't necessarily possible even if I've read a lot because I haven't read something that matches the prompts. Read some great fic this round looking for stuff to fill the squares. One of my favorite fandom challenges because it invites fun, not stress, to finish. I'm looking forward to more of that when the next round of comment_bingo starts up in January, I think.

I got a bingo! I can't believe I actually got one swinging in at the eleventh hour. I've never managed to get a bingo on any of the writing or reading ones I've tried over the years. I always either forget I signed up, lose steam after filling two or three squares, or get derailed by RL. So I am WAY more excited by this than it warrants. LOL Can't wait for the next comment_bingo round! Yay. :D

Prompt #5: Goldenrod! These have an ability to survive in harsh environments, so it made me think of some of my favorite fandoms where characters have to survive monsters, predators, lack of resources, hunger, and despair. Below are some of my favorites.

Prompt #3: Bluebell: constancy, gratitude and everlasting love.

I’ve been rewatching Forever lately, and the love story between Henry and Abigail is a great example of both constancy and love that goes the distance. ( Read more... )

My mind jumped to Clark Kent as soon as I read this part of the second prompt: gladioli represent strength of character, faithfulness, moral integrity. He's too humble to slap that in his Twitter bio, but the cape fits.

Not me swinging in a year late to do [this challenge]. ( ⌐■_■ )

Dear Author,

I love Halloween! Halloween-themed fic would be great, but it’s definitely not necessary. Thank you so much for writing something for me! I love surprises, so don’t worry if you get an idea that deviates from some of the thoughts I throw out. If you think a trick prompt could be written as a treat or the other way around, go for it. I’m excited to see what you come up with!

Treats are welcome!
