no more mister nice gaius!

Happy New Year to everyone who goes by this calendar! It's honestly the first time in years I'm starting the year with optimism, and I wish everyone has a good start to 2025 :D

During Christmas season I participated in two different Secret Santa exchanges in Discord servers, and here are my fanworks:

Fic: A Farewell to Kings (Blake's 7, Blake/Avon, PGP, 7.6k)

Fanart: Under the Mistletoe (due South, Turnbull/Frannie)
 

I was a participant of B7's Secret Orac, so I also got this wonderful Blake/Avon fanart. However, my dSSS fanart was a treat, since I was too late to join the exchange. I hope I can be there next time!

I'll also be participating in both the Snowflake Challenge and the Candy Hearts Exchange, so you'll be seeing some more from me soon!

*looking nervously at my inbox* Hiii!

The amount of WIPs I have right now, guys. Actually, I'll make a list right here, because why not. And only of those WIPs I actually plan to finish:

• One Kasabi/Servalan and 2 Dayna/Soolin fics for ladiesbingo.
• One I can't describe at all for a Secret Santa event from Discord! (this one's my priority right now, of course).
• One fanvid for my new fandom.
• ...THREE fics for my new fandom.

If you're still reading, you might want to ask: but what's your new fandom??

Well, let's just say that when I saw NEW fandom it's always, or almost always, new to me, but older than me. Which is how I like most things in life, really. This time, the fandom in question is due South. I got sick back in November and I spent 2 days in bed, and I found a YouTube channel with a non-official HD enhanced version of the show so... I started watching it. I only knew what it was about and that it had a big fandom (with the one notorious wank that is, THANKFULLY, very much over now), but I enjoyed it so much in general! 90s/00s are the era of TV I grew up with, so it's always nostalgic to watch shows from that era even if I didn't watch those specific shows back in the day. There's just a very specific vibe going on.

I finished watching it a few days ago and I've been reading a lot of fic. So much so that it's already happened twice that I've meet someone in the fandom and we recognised each other from AO3. So, yes, I've also been trying to comment on every fic, or at least on one if I'm reading a fic series. Sometimes I notice I haven't left comments in a while and I don't like it, because I also want people to leave me comments, you know?

Anyway, the show is a lot of fun, it has very emotional moments as well, and of course the slash is wonderful. I was NOT ready to become this much of a Fraser/RayV shipper since most of what I'd seen before I started watching was Fraser/RayK, but I'm happy about it. I also like Fraser/Rayk, it's just that RayV stole my heart before Kowalski showed up. And you know what? I've been reading Ray/Ray and Ray/Fraser/Ray fics and I also like them. And even some Fraser/Thatcher (always femdom, because it's the only het I truly like). So, yeah, I'm having a lot of fun here.
