What a good exchange

Writing Rainbow Rocks (flash exchange) was this past week, and I adore my gift!

I Just Want You (Biggles books, Biggles/EvS, 1200 wds)
Absolutely lovely slice-of-postcanon-life in which EvS is injured in a minor accident, everyone else helps out, and Biggles has a minor epiphany. Sweet and tender and adorable.

Also check out the other works; there are several for Biggles!

[community profile] highadrenalineexchange nominations open on Monday, I'm just saying. (10K in 2 weeks.)

There's also [community profile] prisoner_exchange currently in nominations, a captivity/prisoner themed exchange - everything from noncon kink to more general rescue/escape, cat-and-mouse, and post-captivity recovery. Also including such intriguing tags as Attitude - Cheerful prisoner and irritated captor and Attitude - Prisoner happy to be their captor's prisoner which obviously don't make me think of anyone in particular. Nominations run through April 15.

Completely unrelated to the above, a really interesting article on the dire wolf discusses recent DNA evidence that suggests it wasn't actually a wolf, couldn't interbreed with wolves, and may actually have looked a bit like a large reddish short-haired coyote. It is absolutely fascinating how much we don't know yet about the past, including things we thought we knew, and how new discoveries open new windows onto it all the time.

Oh help I am tempted by Heart Attack. I suspect I could write 10k of Biggles fic in two weeks, especially for people who were requesting the kind of tropey h/c-ful fun that I like to write, but I will have to think about the other two fandoms...

AND the prisoner exchange! Just the 'cheerful prisoner and irritated captor' thing is filling me with glee! Also 'prisoner feels sympathy for captor's difficult situation', and 'prisoner unconvinced by captor's threats' is already canon! This is definitely reminding me that we need much more of EvS as Biggles's prisoner, too...

I nommed Biggles Flies East and the Camel Squadron as safety fandoms. Technically you could offer 2 of those + one more fandom, and hopefully match on Biggles XD Somehow I have a feeling that matching won't be a problem on that one.... Although tbh I have decided that I can only sign up when I'm done with my HCEX assignment.

I am so tempted by Heart Attack...

You know, I have to confess that for most of my childhood, I assumed that dire wolves were a made-up or mythical animal because the context in which I first learned of them was...Dungeons & Dragons. *facepalm*

I had the GREAT pleasure of telling the gazebo story to a gamer of my generation - a D&D/Pathfinder player, even - WHO HAD NEVER HEARD THE GAZEBO STORY. :D :D :D I think I also told him about the Head of Vecna. :D :D :D

Well, I've thrown in a while load of nominations so I suppose it would be very rude not to sign up for it now...

They really are *__* it's an excellent fandom for prisoner fic. I had a look through the freeform tagset last night and am now going to struggle not to be distracted from my h/c exchange assignment! /o\

I HAVE SO MANY BIGGLES THINGS TO COMMENT ON! New stuff plus multiple stories from Rietta and sheron! I love that this fandom is so productive that I have actually fallen behind.

It would be total madness for me to do Heart Attack, so naturally I have nominated things for it anyway.

Fascinating about dire wolves!
