So it's been about six weeks since I last posted and I am once again trying to catch up.
I finish and post a fic to AO3 last month so yay me I guess! And then IDK, falling behind.
Holiday in Bude would have been nicer with better weather. Again, along with previous holidays, maybe I should make a photo collage and write more. We got back late Saturday and did dawn vigil Easter Sunday service!

This got a bit longer than anticipated so, cut tags (I hope they work okay, advanced formatting isn't something I do much of these days!):

( Books and TV )
( Dreamwidth Communities )
( Pinterest WTF )
Lots of feelings in general, I guess.

My one shared photo this month is two; one my nephew took on my phone using a filter I didn't know I had. I'm a bull in this photo! We're at the Crooklets Beach Café in Bude. I'm informed that an episode of the TV series "Alex Rider" filmed part of an episode here. The second photo is a shot of the interior.

Round 14 of

lands_of_magic is open! Multifandom challenge community with original fic and stock icons welcome. Challenges include graphics, writing, and puzzle games. There are 2 teams, Summer and Winter - Summer could do with a few more members!

I don't know if they're still used much, but these small graphics very much used to be a Thing to say that your journal or community was only (or partly) open to those you'd added to your friends list (LJ) or circle (DW).

I had trouble with these and have more brainstormed that had 7 or more words. Maybe they can be 3 sentence fics in the future! I did eventually manage 10 'fics' with six words for

lands_of_magic.

1. He chose me; it was enough.
2. "Matelotage ? Pirate marry you? I do!"
3. One kiss began, and ended it.
4. "Put that down!" "Oops, too late."
5. "I ain't afraid of ...AGH, RUN!"
6. Sometimes even true love isn't enough
7. If only he could've been satisfied.
8. Renewed hope dawned like the sunrise.
9. "Juliet's not dead!" Romeo cried, relieved.
10. Prophecy fulfilled by efforts at prevention.

Some are deliberately generic; some lend themselves to certain fandoms;
#2 Our Flag Means Death but could also be Black Sails or POTC
#5 is a Ghostbusters reference but could be any fandoms with ghosts or supposed ghosts
#7 Alexander Hamilton reference
#9 Alternate ending to "Romeo and Juliet"
#10 Many myths and legends rely on the self-fulfilling prophecy trope.

My entry for the

lands_of_magic challenge based on the "Cinnamon roll" meme.
I went with Firefly.

Round 14 Sign-Ups Open Now

lands_of_magic is an interactive challenge community, sometimes called a landcomm.

There are all sorts of challenges and while some ask for a specific medium (fiction or graphics) the majority are open to all sorts of creative works.

There are also some games (play a level of a particular online game, jigsaws, sudoku, colouring in and more) and party events with many smaller challenges to be completed during the event.

The Creative Court is where you can post almost anything for extra points with bonus points if your piece meets the theme of the month.

I've made both fic and icons for a particular challenge, posted pictures of crafts I made to the creative court, and while I haven't often posted things like sigtags or games results if you check out my landsofmagic tag you can see that the challenge is open to all fandoms and none. I've enjoyed making sigtags (small graphics with your username and team name on to post with your challenge entries) and icons made from my own photographs.

It's the tenth birthday of the community and while there are some pre-round challenges like making this promo post, the round itself doesn't start until 15 March so if you're in the middle of other projects there's breathing room.

You can join the community at any time, and while participation is encouraged, completing at least one challenge will be enough to avoid getting cut at the end of the round. So why not give it a go?
