About the only "life hack" of any sort I can reasonably advise: save those liquid medicine measuring cups. They're amazing for cooking and baking. A total of 3 teaspoons of this and that? Easily tossed in. A tablespoon of a liquid? Measure it out and then set the little cup down onto a flat surface. They're astonishingly handy to the point I'm routinely pleased at them.

There may well be a nicely polished, stainless steel version of these little cups at a restaurant supply store somewhere, or well-crafted ceramic equivalents, but neither of those also give me the rewarding feeling of having found a new use for an old object.

We had another visit from the coyotes this morning; this time around 4am. Thankfully they weren’t as close to the house (aka, as loud) and they moved through quickly. (I also think I heard them yesterday morning at some point, but Pip says he didn’t hear them, so I’m not sure whether I dreamt it.) They haven’t been around all summer, so I guess it’s our turn to host them. o_O

This was another no-shopping day, but I got in a walk around the park even though it was Very Cold. Pip called me just before I left downtown because he was in a “pickle”. I groaned, because his pickles become my pickles. There was a snafu and I needed to run to the tractor supply store to pick up some parts. It was still so cold at that time (about 8:30am) and I’d just been out in it for a walk, that I was thinking I would be too cold to get my usual ‘reward’ smoothie. However, between the sun and the heater, I had gone from cold to toasty by the time I got there, so I did get my reward smoothie after all! *g*

I visited my aunt, did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for a couple of walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. We had grilled hamburgers and potato salad for supper. (The potato salad was so good, if I do say so myself!)

I read a bit more in Winging It and watched some HGTV programs.

Temps started out at 35.2(F) and reached 65.5. The temp must’ve been lower in the morning because there was frost on the old t-shirts (lol) Pip used to cover the mums when I left the house this morning.

You would THINK that the "Found Family" prompt would've been an absolute cakewalk for me, and yet, I couldn't get it to go anywhere, so you get another of the alt prompts today. I also found it pleasing that I managed to get the first three fills spread across all three of the fandoms I'm writing in for this particular Whumptober.

ANIMAL SHOWS UMBRELLA REQUEST:

So I would love a vid that uses any or all of the animal shows below to wallow in the good feelings that come from loving and bonding with and caring for pets. If you want to expand to include a favorite show of your own, that’d be cool. I also have enjoyed Festivids-eligible things like Animal Cribs (TV/Disney+), Dog: Impossible (TV/Disney+), Dogs (TV/Netflix), Dr. K's Exotic Animal ER (TV/Hulu), Fur Babies (TV/NatGeo/Disney+), and Cat Daddies (movie/Kanopy) if you want to mix in any. Animal feelinnngggs.

Critter Fixers: Country Vets )

LOL. "Cute, cute, cute, sweet, cute, VAMPIRE TRAUMA."

Music-wise, my favorite genres are folk from pretty much any country, rock, classical, instrumental, bluegrass, movie scores, Celtic, choral, country where it intersects with folk and rock, some pop, some dance, some hip hop, indie... If you mix dialogue with music, please make the dialogue very clear/easily audible.

Thank you!!

Fic: Unimaginable

philomytha: text: we're way over our daily quota of emo (emo quota)
[personal profile] philomytha
Today's Whumptober prompts did not spark off any ideas, so instead in the spirit of the fest, I went off and finished a ridiculous whumpy fic that's been hanging around almost done for a few weeks.

This was inspired by a passage in [archiveofourown.org profile] silversmith's utterly brilliant Biggles/EvS casefic Tendernesses, Imprecise which I adored and which everyone should go and read. Anyway, there's one paragraph in it:

He had entertained a small private fantasy during his early months in London. The Soviets came for him and took him away, demanded information on his rescuers; and he imagined saying nothing, and somehow, later (he was hazy on this part), Bigglesworth and his colleagues would come to hear of it: that he had not, after all, betrayed them; and they would raise a glass to his memory and his reclaimed honour, saying that, if they had not gained much from their trip to Sakhalin, at least it had not been an error.


And I read that and I thought, if that actually happened to him, it really wouldn't go like that at all, and then I had to write how it would turn out.

Posted by Caitlynne

In September, we deployed a major upgrade to our HTML sanitizer (which interprets formatting tags) and introduced new features to collections! We also made a variety of fixes across different areas of AO3, including clarifying some confusing language and making new site elements translatable as part of our ongoing internationalization work.

Special thanks and welcome to first-time contributors brooke x, Jamis Gelvin, katieyang, Kylia Miskell, ömer faruk, Samridhi, and Yanpei Wang!

Details

0.9.427

On September 5, we deployed some improvements to get our HTML sanitizer up to date for HTML5 and fix a number of tiny but annoying parser-related bugs.

  • [AO3-5801] – We changed the sanitizer and parser to use Nokogiri’s newly available native HTML5 features.
  • [AO3-3282] – If your summary or notes had formatting followed by blank lines, extra blank lines would appear each time you edited those fields. Now the spacing stays the same, like it’s supposed to.
  • [AO3-4599] – We prevented the parser from modifying the formatting inside of <pre> tags, since that defeated the point of marking text as preformatted.

0.9.428

On September 8, we deployed a lot of changes by first-time contributors. If you’re interested in contributing code to AO3, check out our GitHub Contributing Guidelines.

  • [AO3-5552] – We removed some unused code as well as the tests for it.
  • [AO3-7110] – We fixed an automated test for the database data we use for development, which was failing intermittently.
  • [AO3-6921] – We made it so the commas used in series browser page titles are now translatable.
  • [AO3-6924] – The browser page title translations for some user-related pages (e.g., the Change Password page) were in the wrong place, so we moved them to the right locale file.
  • [AO3-7089] – We cleaned up some duplicate code in our automated tests.
  • [AO3-5769] – We updated the phrasing of the text you see when you hover over the “Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings” icon in the work blurb.
  • [AO3-6581] – We changed the title on the page that lists works you’ve marked for later to “Marked for Later,” so you don’t get it confused with the overall history page.
  • [AO3-6914] – We clarified the error message site admins may see when updating language codes.

0.9.429

On September 15, we did a small release to improve the technical implementation of how certain AO3 pages are accessed.

  • [AO3-5953] – Some actions, such as marking a work for later or switching back to the default site skin, could be performed by simply visiting a URL. That isn’t great for a number of reasons, including security, so we’ve updated those actions to use more standard routing.

0.9.430

On September 26, we moved collections to Elasticsearch and added collection tags and better filtering options when browsing collections.

  • [AO3-6026] – We added collections to Elasticsearch for better filtering capabilities, made it possible to tag them, and also automatically added tags to existing collections.
  • [AO3-3748] – We changed the Collections page to also list subcollections, not just top-level collections.
  • [AO3-7122] – We updated the default value of two database columns in the collections table to work better with Elasticsearch.

0.9.432

On September 28, we made two more changes as part of our collections upgrades as well as a few low-impact updates that were easy to get done at the same time.

Additionally, our deploy script accidentally bumped us a release ahead and skipped 0.9.431 so this ended up being released as 0.9.432 instead!

  • [AO3-7141] – When we moved collections to Elasticsearch, we inadvertently started sorting items on users’ Collections pages and collections’ Subcollections pages by date. We’ve changed the sorting back to alphabetical order.
  • [AO3-6133] – The service we were using to deploy code to our testing environment will be discontinued in 2026, so we switched to using GitHub Actions instead. This switch also brought us some sweet speed improvements and better integration into GitHub and Jira, so it’s a win all around!
  • [AO3-7117], [AO3-7118] – Our friendly dependency updater bumped the version of two GitHub actions.
  • [AO3-4698] – We added a missing hyphen to the browser page title for the New Challenge Sign-up page.
  • [AO3-7123] – We added the ability to filter for collections based on whether they are marked as multifandom.

I won the bid for [personal profile] kingstoken at [personal profile] sunflower_auction!! Their offer was to create a cover or moodboard. I asked for a cover for either of my Jessica Fletcher, Agent of SHIELD stories, or for the series as a whole.

[personal profile] kingstoken made two different versions of a cover and I thought that they would both work great, one for the series and one for the second fic. They agreed and kindly added text to both covers and made me TWO covers.

Thanks to [personal profile] kingstoken for creating such wonderful covers and for going above and beyond!!

How is it October already?!!

I had a chiropractic appointment this morning. Today was a no-shopping day, but I got in a walk around the park while I was downtown. I stopped at Stewart’s on the way home and returned a book to the library on my way to mom’s.

I did a load of laundry (washed, dried AND folded) , hand-washed dishes, did a load in the dishwasher, boiled potatoes and stirred together potato salad after they’d cooled in the fridge, formed burgers for tomorrow’s supper (to have with the potato salad), went on several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter.

I started a new book (Winging It with You) and wrote ~1,000 on a new fic! (If you’re thinking it’s a Hudson & Rex ‘fix-it’, you’d be correct. *g*) I also watched some HGTV and Hallmark.

Temps started out at 39.4(F) and reached 66.6. It was cold this morning. A taste of winter that I do not appreciate.

What I Just Finished Reading: Since last Wednesday I have read/finished reading: Children of the Storm (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) by Elizabeth Peters, A Death in Door County (A Monster Hunter Mystery) by Annelise Ryan, and A Bitter Feast (A Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Mystery) by Deborah Crombie.


What I am Currently Reading: I just finished the Duncan Kincaid book yesterday, so I haven’t started anything yet, but I have picked a book off my shelf to read: Winging It with You by Chip Pons.


What I Plan to Read Next: I currently have zero unread books out from the library (how did that happen?!!), but I expect some in soon, so probably one of those.




Book 102 of 2025: Children of the Storm (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) (Elizabeth Peters)

This book was really good, but it was the last few lines that made me chuckle and have to go back to re-read them several times. spoilers )

I really enjoyed this book and am giving it five hearts.

♥♥♥♥♥



Book 103 of 2025: A Death in Door County (A Monster Hunter Mystery) (Annelise Ryan)

I enjoyed this book. spoilers )

I liked this book well enough to request the second from my library; I'm giving it four hearts.

Book 104 of 2025: A Bitter Feast (A Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Mystery) (Deborah Crombie)

I really enjoyed this book! spoilers )

We were very rudely woken up twelve minutes before the alarm went off by the very loud yipping of a coyote that sounded Too Danged Close to the house.

I hit the Pharmacy while I was downtown (and picked up some things at Price Chopper while I was there), and got in a walk around the park. I stopped at the bank on the way home to pay the LLC’s school taxes.

I did a load of laundry (washed, dried AND folded), hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered. I also hard-boiled some eggs and diced up some veggies for a potato salad.

I finished Duncan Kincaid and watched some HGTV programs.

Temps started out at 48.2(F) and reached 77.4. Morning lows are going to be in the 30s for the next three days, which I am not looking forward to. The next two day highs will be in the low 60s, but then we’ll be up to 80 again at the weekend. What a wild ride.

Query Post Two

We are ~93 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 1449 fandom nominations still to sort. Please review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly! And thank you very much for your help so far.

Please link your nominations page if telling us what to do about your nomination - thank you! Please either sign in to comment, or include a name with your anonymous comments, including replies to others' comments. Unsigned comments will stay screened. (You can find your own nominations at this link; keep in mind this gives you an 'Edit' screen where you can't actually submit any edits, but if you delete /edit, that's the page we're looking for.)

If we've processed any of your nominations and something doesn't look right, please comment (with your nominations page) to tell us about the problem and how you think it should be corrected. Questions are welcome.


13th Century CE Plantagenet Dynasty RPF - this category contains Edward II and Piers Gaveston, who are also both nominated in 14th Century CE RPF. We intend to approve these under the former category like we did last year; let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Akkadian Empire RPF - We would like to change this to the slightly more general Mesopotamian RPF, which also has a nomination for Enheduanna. Does this work for the nominator? (See also below for another Mesopotamian query.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Antiques Roadshow RPF - Nominator, we can’t find Melissa Meuwly. Do you mean Meredith Meuwly? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Batman: Arkham Shadow (Video Game) - we received evidence for this but would like more information, please. Could the nominator, or anyone else who knows this family of games, please help us understand how it is distinct? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

The Breakfast Club (1985) - Brian Johnson’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve them as a unit. Nominator, would you like to pick a parent? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Brilliant Minds (TV 2024) - We have nominations for Nico Silva and Scotty Silva. As far as we can tell, these are names given at different times in promotional material for a character played by Al Calderon, and the character hasn't yet appeared on the show. Since the most recent information we can find refers to Nico Silva, we're inclined to approve as that, but please let us know if this may be a twin situation or something else is going on! Please also note that if we can't be sure this character is appearing in any episodes before the end of sign-ups, we may need to remove them from the tag set. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid RPF - Both Paul Newman and Robert Redford are also nominated under the fandom Post-Classical Hollywood RPF, so we plan to merge this to that fandom, since people will be free to request or offer only these two characters. Please let us know if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold and World of the Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold - given that the characters nominated under the canonical tag include some from Hallowed Hunt & the Penric and Desdemona stories, we would like to approve all of these together under World of the Five Gods. Any objections? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Control (Video Game) - We can’t determine if the character “Oldest House” possesses enough sentience to be approved. Nominator, could you describe how the Oldest House is a character please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Corbenic (Catherine Fisher) - We won’t approve Arthur's Company Ensemble (Corbenic) as this is a group with named members. Nominator, would you like to pick one or two (since you’ve only nominated two other characters)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft - All characters nominated for this fandom (other than Worldbuilding) were approved last year in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft; as we have overlapping nominations, we’d like to combine again the same way. Nominator of Worldbuilding (Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft), would Worldbuilding (Cthulhu Mythos) in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft work for you, or would you prefer for us to approve Dream Cycle with Worldbuilding as the only character tag? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

End of Summer (1998) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer). Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Game Changer (Web Series) - Nominator of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters but add them instead to the fandom CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF; nominator of Cerberus (Game Changer), Minotaur Brennan Lee Mulligan, Elaine Carroll, and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters under Game Changer: Samalamadingdong (see below), with disambiguations for Elaine and Sam to indicate the fictional-ish versions they portrayed there. Alternatively, if you intended the actual versions of Elaine and Sam, we can move them as well to CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF as you do have a free fandom nomination slot - please let us know if you’d prefer that, or if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Game Changer RPF - as the nominated characters are not RPF but rather characters from Game Changer: Samalamadingdong, we’ll approve them under this fandom - please let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Hear Me Cry (1984) (CBS Schoolbreak Special) Craig and David’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve each set of parents as a single unit. Nominator, would you like to pick two of the four parents? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

History Boys - All Media Types - Nominator, we won’t approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer the film or the play? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie and Translation State - Ann Leckie - Last year we approved Translation State separately and also approved the Ancillary Trilogy as its own fandom. Imperial Radch - Ann Leckie nominators, it looks like all your characters are in the original trilogy–any concerns with the same solution this year? Please link your nominations page when you reply. (edited slightly for clarity)

Mesopotamian RPF - this includes a nomination for the religious figure Avraham | Abraham | Ibrāhīm. We can see the logic but as the sources for his life are quite different to those of other figures nominated in this category, could we check what you were interested in, please, nominator? We note that Ea-Nasir is also nominated and that Ea-Nasir and Abraham have been discussed together; is there a specific source combining them you would be interested in? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Midsomer Murders - All Media Types - Nominator, we won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer TV or books? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis and To Say Nothing of the Dog: or How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump at Last - Connie Willis - To Say Nothing nominator, do you have any concerns about combining your nominations with the larger universe? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Palais de Reine (Visual Novel) - We can’t find the character “Astrud”. Nominator, is this “Astrad”, or is it just a different localization? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Strange Antiquities (Video Game) - Could we check please, is the nominated Thaumaturge the player character or the player character's mentor? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Terminator (Movies), Terminator: Genesis (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) - Nominators, please make your cases for splitting or combining these. Would it work to keep Genesis separate and combine (Movies 1984 1991 2019) for the rest, since Dark Fate follows Terminator 2? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Tron - All Media Types - We won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Nominator, please pick a canon. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Previous queries

Aliens (1986) - Nominator, these characters are also nominated under the broader fandom Alien (Original Movies 1979-1997), so we would like to merge your nominations in with the rest of the original movies. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Bibi Blocksberg (2002) - Nominator, do you specifically only want the first movie, or may we approve this as the canonical Bibi Blocksberg (Movies 2002 2004)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Dragonfly - Ursula K. Le Guin, Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin - Our understanding is that these are all in the same continuity. We are planning to combine Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan, especially as there is character overlap in those nominations. Dragonfly nominator, do you have concerns with folding that nomination into Earthsea as well? If so, we would appreciate help understanding exactly what you’re looking for and how to differentiate the larger Earthsea universe. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede - We won’t approve the character nomination Morwen's Cats (Enchanted Forest) as they are all individually named. Nominators, could you please each choose a cat? (Scorn has already been nominated, and another nominator is fine with either Trouble or Fiddlesticks.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.

MAIJO Otaro - Works - We don’t approve fandoms consisting of all of a creator’s works, and the nominated characters appear to come from at least 2 novels. Nominator, could you pick one of Maijō’s works to nominate, along with the associated characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

夢中さ きみに。| Muchuu sa Kimi ni (Manga) - We also have a nomination for the Anime; the nominator of that fandom says they have not read the manga but believes these could be combined if needed. We've heard from two Manga nominators who are OK with combining under Anime & Manga; could we hear from the third please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

sholio: two men on horseback in the desert (Biggles-on a horse)
[personal profile] sholio
As per a conversation elsewhere, I think I'm finally going to try to get my circa 2022-2025 Biggles ficlets collected on Ao3, the same way I did with my Agent Carter promptfic and some others.

However, the AC promptfic was relatively easy because I was mostly writing them for Tumblr prompts.

The Biggles ones are just absolute chaos. Some are collections of fills for specific events (Whumpcember, Whumptober); some are commentfic written in response to other people's fic or stray comments; some are slightly more coherent fills for prompts on Tumblr or elsewhere.

For reference, here's how I did it in other fandoms, all in one document sorted by fandom.

With the caveat that I am definitely doing it at least SOMEWHAT like this (that is, as a chaptered fic with short prompt fills collected together, not 200 separate individual fics), do you have any opinions on how I go about doing this? (More complicated answers in comments welcome, of course.)
