Hello my lovely! Thank you so much for enjoying one (or more, I suppose) of my tiny or new fandoms as much as I do. 💖
I can nominate Jasper, Kade, Penelope, and Lisle!
@awaylaughing you’ve done yuletide before!
@ravenclawnerd did you say before you might be interested?
erm. I know I want Cordelia, but then I get into a Clarmont/Hamin/Zarad/Lyon/but what about the chaperones?!? tangle. I like the idea of making sure we’ve got everyone from a country in case anyone wants to do, say, a “Jiyel” focused fic or something? But then I also want to nom Woodly because he’s awful and then we’d have all of Wellin!
I am overthinking this, aren’t I?
Good afternoon to this film poster and this film poster only
I’ve got to tell you all about the hilarious journey this image in having on twitter.
1) First, many mistook it for being a historical romance, which is probably the fault of the wallpaper. I also thought this, but if you look closer he’s wearing a modern shirt and the fabric of her dress is polyester or nylon something.
2) Okay, people said. So this is a contemporary sexy femdom romance then? No. It’s some kind of psychological thriller, which nobody would have been able to tell from that poster.
3) This image is probably supposed to be scary? No one in it looks scared, at all?
4) Everyone promptly decided they didn’t care what the movie was actually about. They started writing inpromptu fanfic scenarios based solely on the poster in twitter. I fully expect the AO3 to have a “Cordelia (movie poster)” tag by the end of next week.
Draw your OTP!
There was talk in Twitter about nominating the poster for Yuletide too, so if you need a little longer to write something... 😉
Yuletide noms season will soon be upon us, and so it’s time to remind me of what things I like. Do I like things? Probably. Do I remember what those things are? Probably not.
(I will of course be nomming 7KPP as usual, if you want to coordinate reblargle or drop me an ask.)
I also plan on nominating 7kpp this year, and I think a couple other people usually nominate for it as well. I’m sure with a few of us we could get a good chunk of the characters nominated!
oh, I used to like things! I'm reasonably sure 7kpp is one of them? (aka count me in on the organizing, once we've got an idea who all is nomming it.)

Is anyone planning on nominating 7kpp for yuletide this year? I was thinking of nominating Zarad, Sayra, Penelope, and Lisle Tagging @leahazel @faejilly and @awaylaughing since I think y’all have participated in the past
Yes, I was actually just about to post something to the same effect but saw this when logging in. I'll nom...Jasper, Hamin, Cordelia and Clarmont (thinking up names was...oddly hard lol) in the next few days
Well, I definitely want to nom Anaele, Gisette and Ria, but I’m open to suggestions on the fourth. I assume we’re going for NPCs only because of the space restrictions, although if someone wants to nom an MC background that would also be cool.
So, if I’m going to be organized about it, I can skip Jasper, Sayra, Ria, Penelope, Lisle, Cordelia, Hamin, Zarad, Anaele, Gisette, Clarmont... did you want to add Leala to your list of ladies, leahazel? Or Greer or the Matchmaker? (Or Yvette? I’m not helping, am I?) I was legit going to do the same 4 that awaylaughing picked before I saw this, so it’s good someone’s organized this year.
I can do Avalie, Lyon, Woodly, & Emmett, to round things out with the delegates (and LIs).

I was planning on it yes, but wasn't organized enough to ask around yet. 😅

The new 2018 collection page is up, the schedule has been confirmed, AND all requests and the Madness collection will be available immediately after assignments go out this year. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE YULETIDE :D
More Code: Realize! It’s that sort of day. (Also I realized I never actually posted my Yuletide this year, Because Family Vacation, and I should probably remedy that.) [AO3]
A Cardia Beckford/Abraham Van Helsing epilogue set immediately post-game. (Like, the next sentence, immediately.) Basically I wrote some fluff (that’s the thing I do, right?) about a poisonous lady and a reformed vampire hunter who are RIDICULOUSLY in love.
Their private party was magical, and not a soul noticed them. They danced ‘til the music faded, and the sky was too hazy for stars, and even Steel London was quiet all around them. Cardia kept her eyes open as Van Helsing lifted her down, and his face, edged in light and shadow, looking up at her as he held her, was as beautiful as the view from the rooftop had been.
He offered her his arm, and she tucked her hand around his elbow, and didn’t even try and stop the half-a-skip in her step from happiness.
“Thank you, Van.”
He glanced down at her, the look in his eyes soft and warm, but the barest hint of something else in the lift of the corner of his mouth. It seemed happy, whatever it was, so she leaned against his arm, and looked around the quiet streets as they walked home.
It was so nice to have a home.
“I have one more surprise for you.”
Cardia turned back toward Van, following the echo of the door he’d just closed, the low whisper of his voice. She enjoyed the swirl of her new dress around her legs as she moved; so much lighter and more delicate than anything she’d ever worn before. She would have to thank Fran for his help with this lovely evening. “Van, what else could you pos– ?”
Her voice caught in her throat. She’d been smiling, a light tease of anticipation. She’d discovered she quite liked surprises, when they were from someone she loved. She felt her smile falter, her steps pause, her skin flush at the look in his eyes, so very steady, so intent, all his focus just on her.
