Northwest Passage

I’m trying to catch up on my round-ups and have decided to sort them by fandom this time around. First up – due South (from multifandomdoodle, ds_ssdiscussion and seasonsofdrabbles):

( My lovely due South gifts: )

I didn't sign up for auexchange this year (because I couldn't get myself organized), but I'll definitely try to next year. It's such a great exchange, right down my alley. Since I had some time off this summer, I could do some treating and pinch hitting, which was fun! The Bletchley Park/due South F/K idea has been kicking around my head for a while now, so I was pleased to get that one written (even if I did go full on nerd a bit...I couldn't help myself).

There were a total of THREE due South works in the collection \o/:
Both Going for Gold by feroxargentea (due South Sports AU) and Ersatz by wicked3659 (due South/Slings & Arrows body swap story) are absolutely delightful!

Lots of fun projects/assignments/challenges going on at the moment.

ds_c6d_bigbang Primary works are in, and claiming for complimentary works will open on August 22nd. Lots of exciting new content: 6 longfics, 3 fanvids, 1 art project and one podfic. This is my first time participating in a Big Bang as a primary works creator (and it’s my first longfic as well), and I’m greatly enjoying the whole process.

At the moment, I’m working on a retrotvexchange gift fic—currently at 6k (oops). I stalled a bit at one point, but now things have started moving again, so fingers crossed.

I also signed up for remixrevival, which looks like tons of fun, especially since I’ve never done a remix challenge before.

The drawesome challenge for this month is “Face Your Fears”; an opportunity to practice something you are intimidated by. For me, that will surely be freehand full body poses—I’ve always struggled with those. 

So lots of firsts after years of no fannish activity at all, and I’m enjoying every minute if it :)
