At Last, A Bingo!

Looky, I've finally finished with my

genprompt_bingo card for last round! Maybe eventually I'll even manage to start on the current one. And perhaps that will involve less of me writing about things like eating spiders or fantasizing about killing children, but, hey, I also wrote about baking cookies and a girl and her uncle being sweater buddies and watching Shrek, so, eh. It all evens out, right?

Title: Some Children to Make into Corpses
Fandom: Gravity Falls
Characters/Relationships: Bill Cipher, Bill's hatred for Dipper and Mabel
Rating/Warnings: Teen. I've used "Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings" on this one, because I feel like not giving it a "Major Character Death' warning would be wrong, but giving it one would be misleading. But this does feature deaths of alternate versions of the kids, as well as versions in Bill's imagination, and while it's not super gory, if children dying horribly isn't something you want in your psyche at all, now's the time to bail out.
Tags: Bill Cipher in the Theraprism, POV Bill Cipher, Bill's All-Seeing Eye, The Multiverse, Bill hates those kids, Descriptions of violence against children, Descriptions of child death
Length: ~1100 words
Summary: There aren't any universes where he wins.
Author's Notes: This was written for Gen Prompt Bingo, for the prompt "child endangerment." The prompt got me thinking about that page in TBOB where Bill declares that there's only one universe in which the kids survived the summer, and the question of whether that's true or not... which led me to further questions I've pondered about the nature of the multiverse in GF and Bill's place in it, which in turn led to this. Whatever this is.

Some Children to Make into Corpses

Jesus fuck again with this shit?

This is some wag the dog garbage, but with worse naming, isn’t it.

March Meta Matters Challenge, Check-in No. 1

March Meta Matters Challenge banner by thenewbuzzwuzz

Welcome to year 6 of the Meta Matters Challenge! I'm your moderator,

yourlibrarian.

These posts will be used for us all to check-in with one another, offer encouragement and answers to questions, and maybe tips we come up with as we copy our work to another location.

Before we begin, some reminders. Please look over the FAQ as there are some important bits for everyone to follow, namely: ( Read more... )

The State of the Ficcery: February 2026

Word Count: 16550

Writing: I tried to do some drabbling with the LOVE prompts. I did not update my soap opera as often as I'd desired.

Reading: 8 books. All audiobooks! I do have a physical TBR pile, but I haven't made a dent in it. The book for the DW book club (https://bookclub-dw.dreamwidth.org) is The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher is part of it.

FYI, I am going to do the 7 Days, 7 Covers challenge in March. This is posting a photo of a book I own every day for 7 days without caption.

Crafting: I did 11 Valentines and a Chinese New Year card and a sympathy card. I did 2 spreads, for Valentine's and Chinese New Year. I tried to build a pinball machine from a kit with Minisculus but we ended up with a missing piece. I ordered a replacement from the company but it hasn't arrived yet. Also I am working on a cross stitch project, mostly on Mondays while I am waiting for my Indian lady to finish physical therapy.

Health & Fitness: I am starting a new weight loss program (at the end of the month). I did 16 sessions of Yoga with Adriene. I am trying to give up sweets for Lent but (alas) the Girl Scouts outside the library today were my downfall! Too tempting.

Personal: Survived the ups and downs of work. Air force guy has made an AMAZING recovery. They changed his Parkinson's meds and after about a week, he's a new man. Really, I don't recognize him. Talking, walking, eating. I really thought he was dying week before last, he couldn't stand, needed two of us to hold him up, but now, WOW. He and his family are moving in March out of my radius so I will lose him as a client but, really, if he continues this way, he won't need a helper. So getting the right meds at the right dosage can save your life (and your quality of life). I have seen it in action this week.

Spirituality: I don't talk about this aspect of my life, but after meditating for 30 minutes every morning for 24 years, I added a 30 minute evening meditation. It's been a challenge and I still have a long way to go on the quality of the meditation but it's a step on the spiritual journey.

All in all, February was short but interesting month, I think.

On y va!

Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Reflecting

Challenge #15: How Did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge Go? Did you get all you wanted to get from it? Are there things you're going to carry with you for as long as you can? Are you going to continue to challenge yourself? Continue to connect?

I think it went pretty well. I completed most of the challenges, and the ones that I didn't it was merely because I didn't know how to answer them. Honestly, although I know there is no deadline, I do sometimes feel like there is this pressure to be on time with everyone else answering them. That's more on me than anything though, internalizing a timetable that doesn't exist, and I know I need to let that go. So, I most likely will be returning to at least a couple of them in the near future once I figure out how to conduct my thoughts properly without stressing over it too much.

In the meantime, I'm still going through the various challenges to read and comment on the entries posted from others, something that I highly enjoy doing. This is why I love

snowflake_challenge, as it not only encourages participation on their own time but it also allows people in the fandom community to interact and connect with each other, and even befriend one another. Plus, I get a lot of motivation and inspiration from others throughout the challenge, and it jump starts my own creativity.

Beer, writing and hockey at Sport's Bra last night:

Seattle Torrent sold out Climate Pledge Arena and set a new US attendance record for women's hockey, so lots of people watched them lose to Toronto. Seattle's team is stacked, and yet they are at or near the bottom of the league.

I just had the very strange experience of reading Beartown by Fredrik Backman thinking it was based on a real case. I'd seen it referred to in multiple places as based on a real case. I didn't look up info about the book, because I figured if I did then info on the real case would pop up and be spoilers.

Beartown is not based on a true story. As soon as I finished it I went to check. Why is there some idea out there that it's based on a real case?

I don't typically read novels based on actual events / true crime cases. I don't mind shows or movies, but the degree to which novels show people's motivations and thoughts, the few times I've read novels based on actual crime I was creeped out by that. I made an exception because a lot of people seem to be reading it right now and I was curious. The story focused on a series of violent events around a youth hockey league in a small, dying town in Sweden.

The start of the book was compelling, even though the ways in which the author describes things is odd. A lot of the time, when he was going for a really dramatic description of something I was just like 'that doesn't make sense'. Towards the end of the book someone can't light a cigarette because their tears keep extinguishing the lighter. What? I... no...

It still started with really compelling pacing, writing, etc, but towards the end there are more and more fake outs about what happened, how people feel, who said what. Like he's set up a scene implying something horrible about someone, cut to another scene, then another, then come back and reveal additional context about the first scene making it read totally different! There is a Checkov's Gun hanging over the whole story from the opening, and by the end of the book I predicted both what would happen and how the author would try to fake out the reader first.

It's the start of a trilogy and I'll likely give the rest a miss.
