alias_sqbr) wrote2025-08-17 02:08 pmSo I broke my toe
It's all dealt with now, I am just keeping off my feet even more than usual while it heals, but thought I should let people know!
Details and some stuff about life in general under the cut, including mention of my colonoscopy (two unrelated minor surgeries in a month is TWO TOO MANY) and mention of blood/needles etc.
So above the cut I'll say: If you ever need to keep a bandaged toe dry in the shower, put a stretchy glove over it! Works like a charm!

Summer 2025 Assignments Out!
Assignments have now been sent out!
We'll aim to post initial pinch hits in the next 24 hours. Happy drabbling!
- The deadline is Saturday, August 23 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). If your assignment has not been submitted to AO3 by then, you will be defaulted.
- If your recipient did not request a fandom, character, and drabble type you offered, please contact the mods at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail.com ASAP.
- If you need to default, please do so via the button on AO3.
- For the requirements your drabble must meet, please see our guidelines. The collection is moderated and we will be doing a brief check of submitted works before admitting them into the collection. If we see an issue, we will contact you through email.
- If you write a drabble for a fandom in the tagset but it doesn't fit anyone's request, you may post it to the collection anyway, with no recipient.
We'll aim to post initial pinch hits in the next 24 hours. Happy drabbling!

alias_sqbr) wrote2025-08-13 02:56 pmSong Title Username Meme
anghraine tagged me in a tumblr meme to make your username with songs, my reaction was "Hah, only four letters, that'll be- WAIT do I like ANY songs with Q in the title??" but a quick search found One, and I built the rest of the list around it to consist of songs on my computer which (a) I like at least a moderate amount and (b) make a funny sentence. Thus:Song For The Dumped (Ben Folds Five)
Queer (Garbage)
Being Boring (Petshop Boys)
Right Here Right Now (Moby)
Runner up:
Speed Kills (Bush)
Queer (Garbage)
Bachelorette (Bjork)
Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)
Since I haven't gotten around to downloading and rating as many recent songs the selection leaned towards older stuff, but I did happen to buy "Stay The Fuck Away From Me" by Emily Wurramura today and I am sure something fun could be done with that too.
And I am going to tag anyone else with a short username to see if they can come up with something fun :) (People with long usernames can play too if they like a challenge)

We have now closed signups! Below is the expected timeline for the next couple days:
As you wait for assignments to go out, please feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing!
- Like always, for the next 12 hours, people can contact us to add to their signups. This is intended for people who may have run into the character tagset bug when signing up close to the deadline, or whose nominations were approved late. However, anyone may ask to have characters/fandoms added to their requests or offers. If you would like us to add to your signup, please post on the screened mod contact post or email us at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail.com. Please make sure to include your AO3 username.
- After that window has closed, we will check the matching and send out emails to anyone who is unmatchable on offers. They will be given 24 hours to respond.
- Barring unexpected delays, assignments will go out before the end of Wednesday, August 13.

Reminder that you have a day and a half left before both signups and nominations close on Monday, August 11 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown).
As you finalize or submit your signup, remember to check out Uncategorized Fandoms for crossovers and other fandoms you might have missed! Here's the requests app that may be easier to browse than AO3.
As usual, there will be a 12-hour grace period after signups close during which you can ask us to add tags to your requests/offers.

One nominations query
We have one quick query about a nomination for "Don Armstrong" under Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene. Could the nominator share more information about where this character appears in the canon? We're having a bit of trouble verifying they exist. Thank you!
