Icon made by @asociallyawkwardduckling 💜 in my twenties, she/her, from time to time I make fanart, uquizzes or write fanfiction, let's see where this takes us :) (mostly doctor who, occasionally shipwrecked comedy, various musicals and anything math-related) You may call me Elle (or capybara)

Somewhere out there on a planet very far away is a civilization that has included our sun in a beloved constellation of some animal we couldn't dream up if we tried
i like sewing because you get to think about something really really hard and then you get an object. i imagine authors feel this way over a longer timespan
[ID: Announcement image for the Fugitive Doctor Celebration 2026. The description reads "Roll a set of dice for a prompt focusing on the fugitive Doctor". There are 6 boxes with different types of prompts corresponding to the 6 different types of dice in a DnD set. Plain text of the prompts can be found under the cut. end ID]
Hello everyone! I am back :D
Unfortunately, time and energy do not allow for me to do another run of the fugitive Doctor week in 2026. However, instead, I present to you:
The Fugitive Doctor Celebration Dice Game!
How to play:
Throw a set of dice (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 2d10/1d100, 1d12 and 1d20) or use a dice simulator like this one.
Read off the corresponding prompts in the right category.
Write a fic/create art for the prompts
Upload your work with the tag fugitivedoctorweek2026 and/or tag this blog
I will reblog all entries on their corresponding day (July 30th to August 2nd depending on the result of the d4, see top of the chart/under the cut). Obviously, you are very welcome to post entries afterwards as well and I will do my best to reblog them.
The game is focused on fics and drawings, but I believe you could use it for other types of art and meta as well, maybe with some tweaks or excluding some prompts.
If you have any further questions, check out the updated Rules and FAQ or shoot me a message.
We had so many amazing contributions last year, I hope we will have another lovely run!
Very excited to see what you will come up with!

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
