Follow Friday 7-19-24
Jul. 19th, 2024 01:09 amGot any Follow Friday-related posts to share this week? Comment here with the link(s).
Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".

Date: 2024-07-20 03:24 am (UTC)I also wrote and posted a little something myself for Monsterfucker 69: Shark Boys Are Not Always Smooth (AO3 link, archive locked; also publicly available here on Dreamwidth). If you want to know what I came up with the Mershark Fucking 101 post for, this is it!
On a more Safe For Work note,

Mood Theme in a Year is such a great idea too. The rat ones are so fun. :D

Re: Thoughts
Date: 2024-07-20 05:09 am (UTC)Maybe look at the themes and see if any more would fit this couple? Just because they're human/mershark doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't match some other parameter.

That might be a good project for next year. By the time this fest ends, it'll be September.

That's a great idea. They would also make charming buttons. The art might not stand up well in the usual 2 1/2" size but would be perfect for a 1" button.
Re: Thoughts
Date: 2024-07-20 05:44 am (UTC)Still, I don't want to lose momentum with Avery and Zeek, so I'll probably at minimum try to get their backstory properly outlined, and maybe start writing a bit of it here and there when I get a chance. I also wanted to do two items for this year's Sot69 proper, and I've finished those, so I could put the other plunnies on the back burner for Amnesty or next year's fest, as well. Even if I do write another one, I'm only planning to write one more story at most before the fest ends. Still, I may see what other excuses I can find to write about those two 😉 Maybe do a little line art, as well.
Oh yeah, no, I'm definitely not planning to start another full mood theme this year. I might do a minimal mood theme, but only if the mood strikes.
Ooo, buttons would be great! Or magnets, those could be fun, too. In any case, the fandom rats are at the top of my list of candidates for sticker-ification ✌

>> I've also got three other potential plunnies that could work for the fest, two fandom and one original, and that's if I don't go in and fill one of the comment prompts I left myself.<<
Go for it!

That's a good point.

A minimal set can be just 6-12 images, so yeah, that could work.

I am all on board with the magnet idea.
