Just One Thing (10 June 2026)
Jun. 10th, 2026 08:09 amnanila posting in awesomeersIt's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Open for 2026: Summer of the 69
Jun. 9th, 2026 11:14 pmsoc_puppet posting in ![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png){kind=small}
dw_community_promoStarting today: Summer of the 69 is an old-fashioned panfandom fest that runs from June 9th through September 6th, to hit 6/9 in both common date formats. It's dedicated to creations featuring the sexual position in question, though it doesn't have to be the first, last, or only sexual position featured in a given work.
Contributions are open to all sorts of non-gen-AI works and content, from recs to fics to art to crafts to podfic to vids to just about anything legal you can think of, and are open to all fandoms and original works. The fest features themes introduced weekly that themselves typically run for two weeks, to give participants some inspiration to work off of. There's also a comment meme in the style of old-fashioned kink memes, where you can prompt scenarios to your heart's content!
To learn more, go tosummerofthe69; you can also check out this year's theme calendar right here, add prompts to the comment meme over here, and browse the AO3 collections for this and past years over here.
Come check it out!

Tues/Wed Pinch Hit ✎ Questions [DW]
Jun. 9th, 2026 11:52 pmToday's theme is questions. All prompts must be in the form of a question. Fills don't necessarily need to include the prompt's question verbatim if it's asked/thought by a character.
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get things started...
+ any animated fandom, any morally gray character (+/ any), How did they get caught up in this mess?
+ any TV fandom, any +/ any, "Are you sure this will work?"
+ author's choice, any +/ any, "Who was that on the phone?"
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.
