this is a fandom post, for fans

[theleaveswant]

Who has two thumbs and is eager to receive her Festivids assignment? I offered a pretty long list of fandoms, so I'm curious to see what I'll get matched on. In the meantime I'm keeping those itchy vidding digits busy making stuff for kink_bingo, to post during amnesty, while also waiting for word on actual paying work (should probably send off a round of applications for seasonal retailmonkeywork before the window closes).

Speaking of kink_bingo, I'm pretty proud of what I accomplished this year. After a mid-season productivity slump, I managed to post three lines (one, two, three) to the community before the round closed this year--fifteen fanworks, which is my highest output so far. Two of those lines were on the same card, which is the closest I've yet come to a blackout, and I have a handful of unposted finished stories and plans to finish the remaining squares before the next round. This is also the first year that I posted media other than fic--in fact, I scored two multi-multi-media achievements, one of them text-free, by posting podfic, icons, vids, a picspam, a drawing, a music mix, and a meta ramble, as well as fic. I also posted in lots of new (to me or to the community--sorry, Mods, for making you add so many tags!) fandoms, and claimed an underrepresented identities bingo by posting a line of fanworks all featuring characters with disabilities, including a 7400-word due South inverse-werewolf AU fic. I gotta say, I'm digging the new achievements system a lot; collecting pretty banners is an effective incentive for me to push myself to actually do stuff I'd wanted to do anyway.

Thinking about whether to sign up for any other challenges this season (dSSS, Yuletide, three_ships, etc.), or to just focus on what's already on my plate (the aforementioned + finishing auctioned music mixes, podfic, and as-yet unclaimed knitting project from helpsomalia, and leaning toward the latter because I don't know what curveballs life might throw at my head. I will be on the lookout for small promptfests and the like, when I have spoons, and may try hosting a few or participating more in duesouth_kink and fic_promptly.

On that approximate note: I know I'm late jumping in on Five Acts Exchange Round Five, but I thought I'd give it a try. Basically, to play, you post a list of five acts/kinks/tropes/themes you like to read about to your own journal, along with a list of fandoms and ships you prefer to read, and then link the list back to the master list above, so that people can find it and leave you ficcy presents (or potentially presents in any medium--it's geared towards commentfic but I don't think the rules disallow other fanworks). Anyway,
Acts
1. Cuddling (physical intimacy, comforting touch, hair-stroking and headskritches and other kinds of allogrooming, hugs, spooning, affectionate headbutts, etc.)
2. Rough body play (punching, pinching, kicking/kneeing, biting, slapping, etc., in a consensual if not explicitly sexual/kinky context)
3. Explicit consent (informed consent, negotiation, sobriety, attention to energetic signals, accepting and acknowledging "no" or not proceeding without "yes")
4. Consensual non-monogamy (moresomes and open poly configurations, non-romantic sexual or play relationships between friends)
5. Squirting (female ejaculation . . . not sure what else there is to say about this)

it ain't bragging if it's true, Dan Bern says Cassius Clay said

(I just want to say, <33 I say this all the time! also CONGRATS yeah!)

[theleaveswant]

:D Bern is a pretty excellent song writer. And thank you!

For Alisha/Curtis/Kelly/Nathan/Simon does it have to be all five or can it be a mixture of the five, like Nathan/Simon/Kelly?

[theleaveswant]

Hrm. I was thinking all five when I typed that, but if you've got an idea for another configuration I'm not going to say no!

[setos_puppy]

Awesome!

Simon is always the first one awake. Used to routine and regimen. He climbs out of bed without a fuss, quiet as he nearly stumbles over Nathan's shoes (they've had this conversation before). Curtis rolls over into the gap Simon's left and hides his face in Kelly's shoulder against the glare of the sunlight.

Simon puts on the kettle and turns on the coffee as he moves around the kitchen, slightly chilly in his sweatpants, but he's too tired to think about finding a shirt in the mess. Alisha is usually second, quick to notice the bed isn't as full, and comes out to find him. She's smiling and sleepy, her hair falling in her face, and she looks beautiful like this; without worry and the world weighing heavily on her. She wraps her arms around Simon's waist and presses soft kisses to his shoulder, careful to keep her powers "off switch" firmly clicked in place.

Not long after Curtis will get up with the alarm. Kelly and Nathan will swear loudly and Curtis will head for the loo. Simon will set the table with cereal as Curtis showers and gets ready for work. Alisha will flitter around, picking at food from the fridge while Simon works through his coffee.

They usually don't talk.

Curtis will join them after his shower. He'll greet them both with a smile. His hand curling easily over the slope of Alisha's back as he kisses her neck and then he snuggles easily against Simon before stealing a long drink from his coffee. Curtis will leave after breakfast, kissing them both goodbye before heading to his job.

Alisha will finally make toast and drop onto the sofa in her bra and panties, eating it as she watches the morning news. She'll let her eyes wander as Simon steps out onto the balcony to finish his coffee in peace before getting dressed for her Go-Sees for the day. Pepping herself up by talking to her reflection, assuring herself that today will be the day she becomes a model.

Kelly will join her in the bathroom. Pulling off a pair of Nathan's shorts while running for the toilet to pee. She'll help Alisha pick out an outfit as she strips and steps into the shower. Kelly will be brushing her teeth as Alisha does her makeup, rolling her eyes at the way Kelly makes kissy-faces to her reflection. Then Alisha will fly out the door with a rushed goodbye.

Nathan will stumble into the living room last. Gloriously naked and unashamed. He'll pad around the living room in search for a lighter to the cigarette dangling from his lips before being ordered to dress and smoke outside by a breakfast cooking Kelly. He'll make a lewd comment and pull on a pair of pants that are someone else's before joining Simon on the balcony.

The three of them will sit down to breakfast Kelly makes while she looks through the papers for jobs. Nathan will wash the dishes as Simon showers. Kelly will remind Nathan it's his turn to cook dinner. Nathan will eye the drawer of takeaway menus by the phone.

Simon will go to his newly acquired internship and Kelly will put on laundry while Nathan whines loudly until he's forced into helping her. He doesn't put up much of a fight and folds laundry without even being asked before putting it away in all the right places.

They'll talk about their days over dinner before pressing close together on the couch for movies or TV before starting over the next day.

:) This is sweet, and full of shiny little in-character details. Thank you so much for writing it for me!

It's so fluffy! Usually my Misfits things are dark and twisty.

I'm glad you like it.

Re: Morning Ritual - Misfits - OT5 - R-ish - Cuddling, Consensual Non-Monogamy (fluffy, fluffy)

[theleaveswant]

Heh, me too :) (usually write Misfits dark and twisty, that is.)

[thimpressionist]

Um, is it ok if I try my hand at some of your acts/pairings? Because Twitch City polyamoury. Why has this not been done before? Rainbows are pouring out of my eyeballs at the very idea!

Also, glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Spike/Raf is a good idea.
