Yup, another Sunshine Challenge!
And while i appreciate a nice, sunny day as much as the next person, we've had temps close to 100, humidity in the high 80's/low 90's, and a heat index of over 100 for the last five days.
BLECH. (That's a heat index of about 40c for my non-Fahrenheit-using flisties.)

So - this week's challenge is: Fulfill A Wishlist Item for Someone Else )

I do have a favor to ask. I want to write more fic tropes 'my way' (like my A/B/O fic), but i'm having a hard time thinking of tropes. As usual, when i need something, my brain refuses to provide. I've been thinking about a de-aged Steve and Bucky fic, and ....um...oh! Snow mentioned 'meet cute'. But that's all. So - any suggestions? Any tropes you all like a lot? Won't say i'll write them all, but it would be nice to have a selection to peruse!

And LJ finally let me load a damn picture, so - My American Pride Flag!! )

Hello! Time for the next Sunshine Challenge. :D This one is Fanwork Recommendations.

Now...the biggest problem with that is that my memory SUCKS. Really, truly sucks. So I have a lot of trouble reccing stuff because i forget. I cannot tell you how many times i've gotten all excited for a fic and then, halfway through realized i've read it before.

SO! To get around this, I'm going to do a little cheat. But first!
Some fic authors I love and adore )

Now for the cheat. I can sincerely, and without a bit of doubt, recommend every single author and fic in my AO3 Bookmarks. I don't have as many as some, but. Every Fic. Every Author (and most of the time, every fic by every author).

So - go! Read! Enjoy! :D

Which it was! But thankfully not too hot, so at least it was enjoyable. :D

So, the third Sunshine Challenge: Canon Recommendations! )


Outside the cut: this fucking fic. It's a type of fic i have a lot of issues with, but these authors changed it up and made one of the most funny, ridiculous, heart-achey, gorgeous, sweet and sexy fics in the genre i've ever read. Go. Now. LOVE.
Scents and Sensibility: The Working Assassin's Guide to Supersoldier Seduction by galwednesday, silentwalrus, skellerbvvt.

Read it. Read *all the fics* they wrote. They are awesome. :D

I was going to add a picture here of my cool American Pride flag, but fucking LJ won't fucking let me upload it OMFG, it's so annoying. Next time.

On this really very wet, rainy, and grey day! I hope all this rain puts the kibosh on 5th of July fireworks, as one night was enough, thank you!

Here's the second Sunshine Challenge: What's In A Name?, or - Fannish Identity.

Some questions offered I thought I'd answer.... )

My goodness, so that was a lot. :D Happy weekend, everyone!

ALSO - if you have any fannish questions for me? Feel free to ask! :D

Even though I would rather hide in a hole than go out into the miserable, muggy, bug-infested SUNSHINE. Like sunshine is such an amazing thing, wth.

ANYWAY. :D I thought i'd do it so i'd have an incentive to post more, like the Snowflake Challenge.

SO - the first challenge is Fannish Housekeeping but, to be honest, I don't have much of that to do.

I will, however, post this, because i think it's important, and it's also true. From my AO3: "Transformative works statement: I give blanket permission to podfic my work or create other fic, art, or etc., based on my fic, so long as your work contains a link back to my original fic. Please also leave a comment in the original and/or email me with a heads up."

I am looking forward to the third season of Stranger Things (on the 4th). I am *not* looking forward to morons with fireworks. I do get a four-day weekend, though. Whooo!

Also - pretty Chris Evans icon, because why not? :D

*hugs*
