Snowflake Challenge: A close up shot of an owl ornament hanging amidst pine boughs..

Continuing to push these out...

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page - Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

For this challenge, I'm just going to rec the last thing I read that I thought was really neat. It's a blog post that was linked to on a Discord I'm in, which I thought was a fascinating read: Idle Words: Scott and Scurvy -- it's a very readable account of one part in the history of scientific understanding of scurvy. Namely, it talks about how various occurrences and advancements in science led to people having a worse theory of the causes of scurvy in the early 1900s than they did in the mid 1700s. This continued until vitamin C was finally isolated and its effects understood. I think it's a fascinating study of how scientific progress is not linear and how smart people reasoning with the best facts, tests, and technology of their time can still mistake the nature of things. Of course, our own scientific understandings are the same way, even as they're the best guess we can currently make.


Challenge #5: Wishlist - In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

While I generally am like *gestures at all my exchange sign-ups* for this prompt, let me try to focus on a particular theme, namely -- AUs! AUs are something I'm always hungry for and I think it's unlikely I'll sign up for an AU exchange in the near future (as the only one currently running has a work minimum that's probably just a bit too high for me -- I don't know, I might sign up for it in the future but it would be a pretty difficult commitment for me to make, the stars would have to align, etc.). Okay, so let me highlight three particular things on my AU wishlist:

1) AU prompts: I'm still very much taking prompts for my [community profile] au_challenge bingo card over here. I really enjoy the activity of thinking about AUs and how I would translate canons into certain settings/setups, and so appreciate people giving me random prompts and shaking some ideas loose that way.

2) My old AU exchange sign-up: Here's the one time I signed up for an AU exchange -- I would still love mini-presents for the requests here. A drabble, a doodle, an icon, or just some off-the-cuff thoughts you have about a neat AU, etc. The fandoms being requested are:

- A Song of Ice and Fire (Sandor Clegane/Sansa Stark)
- Bravely Default (Alternis Dim/Edea Lee)
- Final Fantasy VI (any or ensemble focus with some suggestions of characters to include)
- Pinocchio (1940) (Lampwick/Pinocchio or Blue Fairy/Jiminy Cricket)
- Soulcalibur (any or ensemble focus with some suggestions of characters to include)
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Odo/Quark)

But let me also add:
- Trials of Mana (any or ensemble focus)

3) Recursive fanworks for some of my specific AU ideas: These are both mentioned in the above AU exchange sign-up, but I thought I would highlight them: I've drawn art for two specific AU ideas I have, and I'd love recursive fanworks for them -- your take on the same idea, a drabble illustrating how you think it would work, or just tossing around some ideas or asking me some follow-up questions.

- Bravely Default, superhero AU with a two-person love triangle between Ringabel, Edea, and Alternis.
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Quodo angel/demon AU.

This week we're discussing... episode 2x14 "Whispers"!

Episode synopsis: Following his return from the Parada system, O'Brien starts to notice everyone behaving strangely around him and especially keen to shut him out of security arrangements related to the upcoming visit by the Parada delegation. This instills a sense of paranoia that ultimately leads to O'Brien fleeing the station looking for help and answers.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: Odo has a couple of scenes, and Quark has one. Odo, on Bajor for most of the episode, returns and is immediately alerted of O'Brien's suspicions and promises to look into it further, but ultimately takes the side of the other senior officers in trying to manage O'Brien's behavior. Between these two scenes, Quark has a brief conversation with a noticeably on-edge O'Brien where his attempt to casually talk about the Paradas further raises O'Brien's suspicions.

One screencap from this episode:
