To all who celebrate this, inside and outside Canada alike: HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING DAY!
Where no 95-year-old has gone before! A few days ago at the 21st annual Riot Fest in my hometown of Chicago, Bill Shatner premiered his newly-formed heavy-metal band. Yep, that's right, at 95 years old he is fronting a heavy-metal band for the first time. Click here to check out the announcement on the Riot Fest website which includes a brief video clip of Bill accepting Riot Fest's invite and also includes Bill's artist rider requirements (and I guarantee you've never seen a rider like this one before).

IDEK to say about this discovery. I am not surprised that there is a so-called "kid-safe" search engine (Kiddle, as described on Wikipedia) and a so-called "kid-safe" online encyclopedia (Kiddle website). I am, however, surprised that it has an entry for Hugh Dillon -- it's "Hugh Dillon Facts for Kids".
Happy 30th Canadian Anniversary, Hard Core Logo !
On this day 30 years ago -- September 20, 1996 -- the Canadian music mockumentary Hard Core Logo had its Canadian premiere at Cinefest Sudbury. (Its international premiere was in May of 1996 at the Cannes Film Festival and its general theatrical release was on October 25, 1996.)
Hard Core Logo on Fanlore
Note: the Fanlore entry does not contain spoilers. Other sites, for instance Wikipedia, do contain spoilers.

Recs for two tentacle!fics and for another fic that is literally steamy as well as being metaphorically steamy.
Title: The Cetacean Situation
Authors:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thefourthvine and co-written by norah
Fandom and Pairing: due South x Marvelverse crossover, Benton Fraser / Ray Kowalski
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 6,069
Summary: No substantial author summary, so here’s a sentence from the fic: Even the sight of the metal reaching for him from Ray's back, a visceral reminder of the wrongness of this, could not stave off Fraser’s orgasm; as he felt it uncoil he keened Ray's name, panting it over and over as he felt himself throb and come in Ray's throat.

Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 5,290
Summary: No author summary. Here’s an excerpt from author notes: This is semikinky!sex threesome fic with tentacles. In light of this, it need hardly be said that this is also crack!fic, at least by some definitions thereof, and thus not exactly a model of logic where character motivations and certain qualities of physical science are concerned. There is exactly zip angst herein, and what with one thing and another various people do have rather a lot of sex.

This August 15th is my 15th DWversary...fifteen years of Dreamwidth. My primary fannish home! ILEITB!
TYK to elayna and aurumcalendula for July fenmail!
aurumcalendula sent me a hand-drawn card (which I've added to the several other pieces in my mini-gallery of her art) and elayna sent me a postcard with two themes that are dear to my heart: wolves, coffee (featuring the "Wicked Wolf" variety of "Raven's Brew Gourmet Coffee"...and now I want to get the t-shirt that matches the postcard).

The annual Bring Back the Porn Challenge -- now in its 20th year! -- returns on September First as it has done for two decades.
The Challenge: On September 1st, post something porny to your journal or favorite archive. This can be fic, art, icons, meta, your favorite porny recs, a dirty limerick, et cetera. Then go to https://bbtp-challenge.dreamwidth.org/62061.html and drop off a link to share the smut.
All fandoms and original work are welcome! All kinks, all types of pairings, anything goes -- as long as there is some sort of smut factor, it belongs. Whether explicit, raunchy, taboo, vanilla, or the subtly implied sort, what's wanted is any and all the smut.
For those who don’t have a DW, there will be a post to collect links from non-DW folks to be included in the fest master list. For works hosted on AO3, you can add to the collection created there.
The Rules:
1. This fest collects links, not works themselves. So you must host your porny contribution elsewhere, then drop off a link in the comm. Do not post to the now-inactive IJ community -- in order to be included in the master list, please post to this DW community. Please use the posting format as it appears in the comm.
2. One post for each response to the challenge. So if you made icons, wrote a fic, and created a porny doodle, you’d make three different posts.
3. Tag your posts. There will be a post going up on August 14 to ask what fandom tags need to be created for this year’s fest. Add general tags if appropriate.
4. No OT posting in this community. This community is for fest works only.
5. No flaming or bashing allowed. If you come across a kink or pairing or fandom you don’t like, just keep scrolling.
6. HAVE FUN. YAY PORN.
Was this book a gift from someone who knows me via DW?
I received a book in the mail with a card that says "Happy Half Birthday" and signed with a name that is not familiar to me. The book is A Woman Among Wolves: My Journey Through Forty Years of Wolf Recovery. The book was sent from a Chicago indie feminist bookstore, "Women & Children First".
It has to be someone who knows my birthday in order to have known when it was my half birthday, has to be someone who knows about my affinity for wolves, and has to be someone who is familiar with very small Chicago indie bookstores.
(I'm counting this post as a Fannish Fifty since it's a question directed to fen.)

Thank you kindly to oldtoadwoman and dine for the postcards in June. Dine's was from her home-state of Oregon and toad's was from her Arizona vacation. Also thank you kindly to elayna for the letter in June wishing me a Happy Pen Pal Day and also having some nice things to say about my fandom fave Benton Fraser.

TYK to elayna and james for May fenmail!
I <3 howelayna works in something about my primary and forever fandom -- due South -- when she writes to me.
The mail fromjames was stunningly relevant without james even realizing that it was (for lo and behold, the fen hive-mind is a magical thing). The card from james had a watercolor drawing of a pair of geese and four goslings...and arrived at my work-address just a few days after we had rescued four goslings who were stuck up on the roof of my workplace after we saw their parents leaving the babies alone up there and not returning for them by the next day.

I consider my LJversary to also be my fanniversary since it marks the time I found online fandom community. LJ has been and continues to be one of only two social media platforms where I am consistently active (the other one being Dreamwidth here).
