fic_promptly comm: to inspire you to fic (Fannish Fifty #21)
26 May 2026 12:08![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
verushka70Since every fic I've written since February has been inspired by a prompt from the fic_promptly, I am long overdue in promoting the comm.
fic_promptly is a DW comm where all you do is leave prompts and find prompts and then write fic to them. That's it.
Every couple days there's a new prompt challenge, and then you leave prompts based on the challenge subject/topic.
If you want to write fic to prompts, you can choose from any prompts in the current or previous prompt challenges. I've used a number of old prompts, which fic_promptly calls "lonely prompts". You can also fic for previously-filled prompts, too. You can fic to your own prompts or the prompts left by others.
There are no minimum word counts and no maximums for fic fills of prompts. It's very relaxed and freeing.
Rules are here. (Pretty basic.) That rules post also includes links to Google spreadsheets of 2025 and 2026 un-filled prompts, and to the Pinboard with all the pre-2025 unfilled prompts. They also have an AO3 collection for 2026 filled prompt fics.
Every few weeks there are free-for-alls that specify specific types of fics to try to fill as many lonely prompts as possible - drabbles, 300 words.
It's a nice relaxed comm with a plethora of prompts to inspire your ficcing. Enjoy!
My nendoroid wishlist
24 May 2026 02:00requiemsThis post is however about nendoroids specifically. I could make it much, much longer, but whittled it down to those I feel have a decent chance based on character popularity for what would sell, precedent (if they've released nendos in the series already), and outside factors that may tip the balance in that series' favour.

If I understand how this works, I won't be using the journal function, just the account so that I can reply within other communities. Nevertheless please feel free to consider this entry like a, uh, guestbook? The comment section is open to say hello.
another stolen meme
23 May 2026 08:58larissaComment with the name of a woman character (in any show, movie, book, comic, etc that you think I'm familiar with) and I'll tell you one thing I love about her. In return, you can do the same in your journal (if you like!)
Grabbed this from althea_valara because you know I love female characters.
Pretty much any fandom in my profile or tags is fair game, with the caveat that if it's something I only briefly engaged with I probably won't have much to say. Alternatively just look at my fanlistings for ideas since those are all things I'm still fannish about.
Feel free to comment with multiple characters!
Melting out of May
23 May 2026 05:06requiems( ffxiv alt stuff )
Stadium continues. I hate the cat. Genuinely hate the cat on melee heroes there's fuck all you can do. She is already extremely niche, you hard sacrifice a support ult by having her, and sure you can drag around the dps ults and it may win you fights but I'm not seeing it win the game for the cat. I went back to D.Va on tank, and repositioned my camera's field of view back by about 10%, which has been incredibly helpful with me being able to aim at stuff in front of her instead of forever struggling to do that. I've been enjoying dps a lot, but I've reached the buggy part of stadium ranking when you just ping-pong the same +80, -80 score over and over again and it's impossible to climb anymore as it doesn't actually give you compensation for doing well. In fact you may as well not try past a certain point, which feels very uninspiring to me. What is the purpose of not starting from nothing each season anymore if I've won 14 games but moved precisely nowhere. smh.
I got three comp point weapons though, being jade for Ashe (fairy skin), crimson wolf for Lifeweaver (it matches his Adam skin too well...), and galactic for sombra (music festival skins are perfect with galactic and I doubt I will ever take this off her, so). Should finish the season with enough for two more, so probably Ashe crimson and one of the golds for some more girls, perhaps...?
The last thing to say is I have a new favourite ship, Emre/Freja, or Emfrej. They captivated me from the start but they have parked in the part of my brain where Shepard and Garrus hang out because it's moderately similar energy. What if the horrors took you and made you into a living weapon and your memory is fragmented and you're barely there anymore but the person you trusted most who you left behind is the best bounty hunter in the world and was able to find you and she looked upon the destruction you wrought and decided to stand by you. Package deal.
It's a shame they're trapped in this game because I would absolutely play a 40hr rpg about their doomed misadventures together. They have so much chemistry! I need Olivia Le Andersen in more things her voice scratches my brain so nicely. But they're getting a decent chunk of lore and lore together (they were set up that way), and I'm Seated. So much so I wrote something for them and you know what happened last time I did that.
Funnily enough before I got in deep I was considering Emre as a voice claim for Khlip so now it's just god there are so many Frej's. This would be what he would want.
the miscellaneous may update
22 May 2026 11:02larissaa round-up of things that have been on my mind of late.
despite my best efforts otherwise, i've been spending a lot of time playing final fantasy xiv this week. ( ffxiv stuff )
i've also been getting back into figure collecting recently. i never really stopped, but i definitely wasn't paying as close attention to the figure market as much as i was in 2018. back then, i would spend hours browsing myfigurecollection while procrastinating my writing goal. (i wrote 1,000,000 words in 2018; i went slightly insane during the process.)
anyway, i didn't really have space for all my figures in my old apartment, so after i moved i planned to get new shelves to display them properly. now that i have said shelves i've been unpacking all of my figures... i have more haikyuu!! nendoroids than are reasonable to own, but i was missing two of the core team, so of course i needed to buy those. then i snagged an edward elric i didn't have for a good price. then i fell in love with this sakura miku so i had to get her...
and all this after paying for my preorder of gsc lightning, which set me back more than expected (even with the weak yen) due to Fucking Tariffs. i paid for her at the start of april and i still don't even have a shipping number because i chose the (cheapest) shipping option, which takes months to deliver...
and every day new things get announced!! and i want them!! IT'S A STRUGGLE. right now my next priority is adorable arts lightning because i bought the cloud and tifa from this line a while back and they're surprisingly well made for square enix in-house figures. usually square has so-so quality at best, but this line is really well done and they're a nice size (a little bigger than nendoroids). unfortunately i have no idea where to get this lightning for an affordable price... i used to import directly from japan (see above re: weak yen) but seriously tariffs can fuck the hell off. we'll see what i can find.
in recent years i haven't been great at keeping up with tv (too much time spent playing video games instead) but i do like watching things with friends. currently i'm watching black sails and witch hat atelier (back to back, hilariously) one night a week with friends. we've just started season 2 of the former, and it's excellent so far. flint is a fantastic character; i never know what the hell he's going to do next. as for witch hat i'm really enjoying it! we had to skip this week's episode so i'm a little behind, but coco is darling and i want to know more about qifrey. perhaps i'll read the manga once the anime's done.
i think that's all for now. until the next miscellaneous update.
Final Fantasy XIV Fanfest in Anaheim
19 May 2026 21:59sorayomiIt still feels a bit surreal attending my first Fanfest! Thanks to the wonderful friends, old and new, for making my first one a wonderful one 💗
I cheered so loud during the Evercold trailer and the Primals concert... My voice was pretty hoarse after!
