ride_4everMy #49 Fannish Fifty links to the #49 Fannish Fifty of my fanpair, verushka70. And how's that for being fairly literal about the pairing thing, matching Fannish Fifty numbers.
For her extensive post about Canadian Tire acquiring Hudson Bay Company's intellectual property -- including the iconic striped blanket design -- and about the partnership between Canadian Tire and the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (the retailer has guaranteed at least $1 million a year to support Oshki Wupoowane -- The Blanket Fund --with the money being used to support grassroots Indigenous organizations and Indigenous cultural, artistic and educational projects) click here.

January Anime PTW
Dec. 31st, 2025 10:53 ambluapapilioUsed my anime TBR boardgame.
I finished 4/4 for my last challenge and enjoyed everything.

Skill: Re-draw a prompt once
Roll #1:
A 4, prompt: highest rated on PTW! I ended up moving a bunch of stuff to On Hold and deleting things before Akatsuki no Yona was at the top. I read that the anime is pretty much 1-to-1 with the manga.
Roll #2:
A 6, reincarnated into another world. Now that I've decided to read the LN of TenSura I don't think I have anything in this category that I can't just read the LN for. Ignoring this prompt from now on, probably, same with 'based on an LN/novel'. New prompt: been on list for 2+ years. Didn't specify which list so more Slayers.
Roll #3:
A 4, prompt: sports. Haikyuu!!
Roll #4:
A 9, prompt: slice of life. Apparently Fairy Ranmaru is?
Roll #5:
Another 9, prompt: mystery element. Hmm let's do more Revenger .
Roll #6:
A 5, prompt: fantasy element. Oh, I want to do HIGH CARD!! I'll probably have to skim through the first two eps again.
Roll #7:
A 4 and the end. Since I have no more Dr. Stone, reward is Babanba Banban Vampire.
~Anime PTW List~
[Adventure/Fantasy] Akatsuki no Yona
[Fantasy/Comedy] Slayers
[Sports] Haikyuu!!
[Action/Fantasy] Fairy Ranmaru

Why This Must Be Read: The story may well be widely known, so this is just as much to recommend the podfic that librarychick_94 completed recently. This is a wonderful story and an excellent podfic, an epic work at over four hours. Librarychick_94 reads with great pace, nuance, and characterisation and it's a really gripping listen. The story itself I found unputdownable when I first read it - one of those fics that keeps you up into the small hours to finish reading. Despite having had their memories wiped as a judicial punishment by an off-world civilisation, Rodney and John remain very much themselves. Rodney, as a scientist, has higher status in the prison complex, with his own apartment, and John is assigned to him as his servant. The worldbuilding is intriguing, and the ending very satisfying. Both the podfic and the fic are highly recommended!

New Year's Resolutions Check In
Dec. 31st, 2025 12:55 amysabetwordsmithWe made it to the end of December! All the way through 2025! \o/ If you made it this far -- even if you haven't finished everything you hoped for -- then pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for that. We have reached the beginning of winter. If you're doing seasonal goals, share what you're working on for this winter.
This year I'm trying something new, continuing to track goals at the end of each month. So far it seems to be helping, so that's encouraging. I'm looking at my goal list more often and trying to keep ticking off more of them. The main drawback is that this update becomes more of a chore each month. I have some new ideas to lighten the load for next year.

Poem: "Eyes Wide, Mind Open"
Dec. 31st, 2025 12:49 amysabetwordsmithThis poem came out of the January 7, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "Daughter of Earth" square in my 1-1-25 card for the Public Domain Day Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred. It belongs to the series Frankenstein's Family.

Good News
Dec. 31st, 2025 12:01 amysabetwordsmithGood news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.
What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

Romance on the High Seas by Anagrrl (T)
Dec. 31st, 2025 04:44 amcassiope25 posting in stargateficrecShow: SGA
Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney, Radek, John, Evan, Laura, Chuck
Pairings: /
Categories: gen, multi, romance, humor
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: 4,588
Author's Journal:anagrrl
Author's Website: Anagrrl on AO3
Link: Romance on the High Seas
Author’s summary: "Where did all these flowers come from?" Rodney asks. They're everywhere. On tables. On desks. Large, blousy flowers, small pointed flowers, round edged flowers. Bunches of them in plain, clear vases, or in tall planters that have suddenly appeared in corners and crannies. They're even in the transporters, little bouquets affixed to the wall.
Or - Atlantis has a plan. A romance plan.
Why This Must Be Read: This lovely story by Anagrrl revolves around a sentient Atlantis that is trying to figure out what it takes to bring people together and, ultimately, increase its population. It’s endearing, heartwarming, and utterly delightful to read about all the different plans for getting under people’s skin and into their heads—or rather, their hearts. And it’s surprising, or perhaps not surprising at all, that Rodney, normally considered insensitive to subtleties, is the one who senses that Atlantis is seeking contact and wants to take care of it :)

Author’s summary: John didn’t so much wake up, as slide bumpily into consciousness, by a process of painful degrees.
At some point he remembered he had eyes and how to open them, so he tried that, just for kicks.
It went badly.
Why This Must Be Read: If you love great whump and big emotions, this endearing fic by WonkyElk is just right for you.
You’ll laugh, your heart will ache, and you’ll suffer with them—but in the end, you’ll be happy with our two idiots in love. Of course, Rodney assumes the worst about getting into a relationship and has to be convinced by John… that is, once John has convinced himself to come out to Rodney in the first place. So go and read—this will absolutely brighten your day.

More hilarity with Heated Rivalry audio porn
Dec. 31st, 2025 03:43 pmmificAs you may know, soon after filming Heated Rivalry, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie made an audio erotica recording for the company quinn (available on mobiles as an app). It's an originally written audio porn paid subscriber app with largely male performers, mostly M/F stories (and most of those second person listener-insert), but with a few M/M and F/F offerings.
The Hudcon story is Ember and Ice, clearly intended as HR AU romantasy fanfic, where Finn (Hudson), and Dane (Connor) are rival fae princes, alternately fucking or at war with each other. Their HR personalities are maintained as Hudson is the dutiful, serious prince who only fucks Connor, and Connor is the promiscuous bisexual prince with daddy issues. It is, of course, a love story, just with a lot of explicit sex. The story's laughable overall, but no more poorly-written than a lot of fanfic, even if the worldbuilding leaves a lot to be desired. But that's not why we're here: we're here for Hudson and Connor delivering breathy porn dialogue with absolutely no fade to black. Overall, they both do the sex noises very well but I think Hudson is just a tad more uninhibited and realistic, especially nearing orgasm. Which fits with his persona from the press tour.
Hilariously, Ember and Ice has been so successful in the full frenzy of HR fandom that the quinn app crashed for a while yesterday with too many panting fans trying to sign on and sign in. Thus we now have wonderful tumblr posts like this.
Hudson and Connor also did a photoshoot for Ember & Ice, with tasteful dollar-shop gilt and silver wings to demonstrate their fae origins.
They must be having a ball! I love that they're undoubtedly giggling about all this and revelling in the nonsense, but their demeanour in the photoshoot and their voice acting in Ember & Ice is quality work, 100% professional (especially the sex noises).
And naturally, there's already a story in the Ember and Ice fandom on AO3, the fandom tag so new it hasn't been categorised yet. I predict many more!
ETA: more evidence! "I hope they get a really satiating love story", ha!
