Roundup of fic and stuff

Fic I wrote lately:

Fear and Hope (Defenders, Danny & Jessica, 4300 wds)
Jessica is forced to enlist Danny's ... ugh don't make her say it ... HELP with her latest case, trying to find out who or what is terrorizing a little girl. This was for the current round of Daredevil & Defenders Exchange on Tumblr. Collection on AO3 here.

Ciphers (Turn: Washington's Spies, post-show, 3000 wds, gen)
Once a spy, always a spy. It's hard to stop playing the game once you get used to it. Two former enemies write coded messages to each other across an ocean in the post-war era.

For all the issues I had with it early on and occasionally throughout its run, I really ended up liking Turn a lot, and I need to write it up properly. I think Edmund Hewlett might have unseated Owen Harper as my all-time favorite Burn Gorman character; he just has such a lovely character arc in this and is also Peak 1700s hotness. Now I'm eyeing Jamestown, a possibly-questionable BBC show set in 1619, also co-starring Burn Gorman, also as an antagonist, this time apparently a much evil-er one. Help me, I have a problem.

Other things happening around fandom, mostly Halloween and October-themed:

- [community profile] trickortreatex is currently open for tagset nominations and has also announced their 2020 game theme, fic/art inspired by songs, which is not my thing in the slightest but might be relevant for some of you!
- [community profile] shipoween is also open for nominations.
- [community profile] hurtcomfortex has an October h/c challenge, Comfortween, with a list of prompts!
- And Whumptober is running again - here is their list of prompts.
- I recently ran across this absolutely amazing list of AI-generated art prompts for Inktober or general prompting purposes. I am 100% using these.

It's true and everyone should say it.

Help me, I have a problem.

But I get photosets out of it!

Hee. It's a fantastic list, isn't it. We're definitely gonna try to incorporate some of these in our ink challenge this October at [community profile] drawesome. :)

Oh no worries. It was a neat video, I'm glad to find out this kind of place exists -- I had no idea!

Argh, forgot to say (I have to go in for medical tests and I have been Tired) that Danny&Jess story was so sweet!
