Challenge 262:
SOULMATES

n. a close friend or romantic partner with whom one has a unique deep connection based on mutual understanding and acceptance

Soulmates – a myth, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, or something a little more supernatural? Maybe soulmates are just someone you have a special connection with; maybe they’re something mystical, something predestined for you one way or another, a kind of magic found in special marks or mind-links. Or maybe they don’t exist at all.

Do your characters believe in soulmates? Do they have one, or want one? Is it an option at all for them?

Write a story about soulmates.

BONUS GOAL: “Do you believe in love at first sight?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, June 16 at 9:00PM EST.

One day, I'll just take a lot of pictures...

I finished Plutone and decided that, before working on Exia and Starfall, I'd see what's in the shoeboxes and whatnot under my desk. The answer is more projects and a lot of stuff to sort, but I managed to clean up a bit for now. Even if everything is stacked nicer, that's a start. I don't remember what I was going to do with all this non-model paint... and I don't know what I should do with it if it's still good... (I feel like I should just start on murals in my garage or something?)

I have a kit on the way that's hopefully going to be part of a contest entry. I'm not expecting/hoping to win or anything, but I want to challenge myself. The contest also ends right around when

iddyiddybangbang is due, so maybe a double-deadline will help? (I have multiple ideas for IIBB, we'll see how this goes?)

model kits of white Gundams Plutone and Astraea posed closely together so it looks like they are perhaps intimate. Astraea has a hand on Plutone's chest and Plutone has a hand on Astraea's arm.

It's June.

If you want free "romantasy, PNR, and monster romance" stories arriving daily in July, FaRoFeb's FaRoCation is happening again. As always, there will be quantity. (I usually end up liking one or two of them, and it's free. *shrugemoji*)

A couple of weeks back, I asked at the bank about check registers since my previous check orders hadn't come with them and I'd finally finished my last one (dated 2020 on the back - it has still been 2020 all this time!) and was out. Turns out the check printers stopped sending them and they thought check orders still got them. I ended up ordering a 20-pack off Amazon which will possibly last for the rest of my life. (However, I'd just assume share the wealth and if you need one, lmk. They're a bit on the 'for ants' side which doesn't bother me but might be a dealbreaker for you.)

I also still have those Riverside TrekFest goodies if anyone wants them.

The date for the first Gundam Mobile Base Pop-Up USA Tour stop was announced a couple of days ago, for Kentucky at the end of this month. A not-impossible drive, and I put in for the day off just in case. But a Michigan date has been announced for September so I'll do that instead. It's much closer but I'm not sure the drive is any better. (ha!)

Worked on gutters (not mine) yesterday, and went to an estate sale to look at tools. Ended up getting some fine, fine wrenches and other stuff. Well over $100 in stuff for $10; I almost felt a little guilty. (Almost.)

I officially got the airbrush out of its box and tried it! One hurdle, um, hurdled! It will take a few sessions to figure out exactly what I need as far as a set-up goes, but I will definitely need to liberate one of the extra chairs recently unearthed in the barn.

Challenge 261:
SCHEMES

Whether it’s planning a secret party, going on a forbidden quest, or overthrowing the government, there’s one thing you need to make it happen: a good scheme.

An evil scheme, or just a scheme? Well, that’s up to the schemers in question; it’s certainly possible to scheme without malicious intent, though most people would call it a “plan” instead. But anybody can make a scheme. Whether or not they can carry it out...well, that’s a different question.

What do your characters scheme about?

Write a story about schemes.

BONUS GOAL: “What could possibly go wrong?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, June 9 at 9:00PM EST.

Happy Pride Month! Pride Bingo Fest will run from June 1st to 30th. This is my first time hosting, so please forgive any goofs. 😅

For the sake of max inclusion (and honestly, because I'm kind of a pride flag/identity nerd) I've made three seperate lists - one each for a broad mix of identities, one for aspec (asexual spectrum, aromantic spectrum, etc) terms, and one for general pride experiences and themes. There's a community card for each list and one mixed. Since ace and aro term defintiions tend to be the same save being applied to different types of attraction, I've paired them together. Feel free to use either or both.

If you need more info on anything, LGBTQIA+ Wiki is a great source. I'm no graphic artist, but I'll do my best to make some little banners for people who finish.

As a reminder, here's the bingo card generator, and here's the allbingo AO3 collection.

Have fun! 🏳️‍🌈

3x3 card is here. I made my own card using Magibrain's generator, choosing my own prompts. My goal is to at least get a line for the month of June, but I'm hoping my productivity will be enough for a blackout!

You can still ask for personalized banners! (I'll add them on to this post) I made two designs, although so far everybody has wanted the cats.
