Health Update (and TYK for concern)

Thank you kindly to all who commented supportively about my recent health concerns. Spouse: surgery was yesterday and aftermath is "so far so good". Me: mostly "post-COVID" with just a slight lingering cough and fatigue.

I've never used the "disable comments" function before. I've disabled comments on this post to spare my readers from another round of commenting on this already-commented-upon topic.

Firewhiskey Fic Award -- Voted Best Use of Prompt!

The Summer Edition of the Firewhiskey Fic Challenge was my third time participating in that challenge, and the other participants voted my fic (Insomnia is Not the Agent: the “Satisfaction is the Agent” Remix, the link for which will appear in a separate post) to be the best use of prompt in the challenge! (And I wonder if I'll be going to special hell for using the prompt "Hog's Head" to describe an intimate body part. *snerk*)

Here's my award banner:

my third Firewhiskey Fic award winner

Title: Insomnia is Not the Agent (the “Satisfaction is the Agent” Remix)
Fandom: due South
Rating: Explicit
Category: F/M, M/M
Relationships: Benton Fraser/Stella Kowalski, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Characters: Benton Fraser, Stella Kowalski, Ray Kowalski
Summary: Fraser/Kowalski times two: first the Stella and then Ray.

Sort of a warning: I may be going to Special Hell for the way I used one of the prompts to describe an intimate body part (but it did win me the "Best Use of Prompt Award").

Fic on AO3.

Are Mountains Real?

In Welcome to Night Vale canon, the question repeatedly arises of whether or not mountains are real...and then I saw this RL news article: The World Is Studded With Artificial Mountains.

Community Pimpage for Bring Back the Porn Challenge

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 post a link to it at BBtP Challenge on DW.

All fandoms and original works are welcome! All kinks, all types of pairings, anything goes -- as long as there is some sort of smut factor, it belongs in BBtP! Whether explicit or implied, vanilla or kink, all the smut has a place in BBtP.

For those who don’t have a DW, don’t worry. The mods will put up a post to collect links from non-DW folks and include them in the fest master list. If you host your works on AO3, you can add your porn to the collection there.

Special note to dSC6D fen: I had due South and Canadian Six Degrees added to the tag set for this challenge.
