Silmaril Size And Shape Poll! Alright, for reasons, it has once again come to my attention that basically everyone in the fandom envisions the shape and size of Fëanor's gems differently. I feel like this may have been done before, but I could not find that poll again (if it exists), and I need to know...for reasons. So. What Shape And Size Do You Think The Silmarils Are?
Round, Golf Ball Size
Round, Mandarin Size
Round, Orange Or Larger Size
Oval, Golf Ball Size
Oval, Mandarin Size
Oval, Orange Or Larger Size
Octagonal (or similar), Gold Ball Size
Octagonal (or similar), Mandarin Size
Octagonal (or similar, Orange Or Larger Size)
Something Else (leave in tags)
What Are These Examples, OP!?

Thanks to @spiced-wine-fic for tagging me to post ten favourite lines from my last ten fics. However, I'm taking a page out of @hhimring's book and picking ten favourite lines from my ten longest fics!
I tag @naryaflame, @independence1776, @grundyscribbling, @xieliansbignaturals, and anyone who hasn't been tagged and would like to do it!
Creator Reveals!
Creators have now been revealed!
If you have not already done so, please make sure you comment on your gift(s).
Thank you all for another fantastic year of Innumerable Stars and we hope to see you again next year. Please feel free to leave a comment here on Dreamwidth or email our mailbox if you have any questions or comments.
okay but have u thought about how wenzhou cutting each other's sleeve is not just about them being proud gays and the production team cleverly working around censorship, but also about what they come to mean to each other in regards of new beginnings and second chances, choosing a life with each other full of tenderness, intimacy, and love over one where they make others and themselves bleed?? wen kexing cuts zhou zishu's sleeve off when blood splatters on it after noticing zhou zishu's disgust. and zhou zishu cuts wen kexing's sleeve when it gets singed after the explosion has come so close it almost harmed wen kexing.
they're always trying to shield each other from harm and violence, even while knowing that the other person could probably take it. but they don't want for each other to be forced to take it anymore. they want only good things for each other.
they're better to each other than themselves
Utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! The collection is open!
There are 42 works in the collection for your enjoyment. (Bear in mind that number might go up - there is no deadline for treats, so treats may still be posted any time.) You are an amazing group of creators!
Recipients - please make sure to comment on your gift(s) to thank your creator(s).
Creators - please bear in mind that not all recipients are able to pounce on their gift and comment immediately, no matter how much they might want to. (We know patience is difficult in this situation, but do your best.)
Everyone - creators love comments! If you like a work in the collection, tell the creator about it.
If there are any questions or issues, please let the mods know. You can drop us an ask on here, comment on DW, find us on Discord, or email us at the collection Gmail address.
RIP Maru, I hope there are a lot of boxes for you to jump in where you're going. You brought so many people joy 💜
Assignments are out! Check your inbox or your AO3 dash.
We hope you're as excited as we are - you have once again wowed us with the tagset, and there are some fabulous prompts. Go forth and create!
Anyone who has a placeholder Dear Creator letter - please make sure it is finished and available by Thursday, sooner if you can manage it. (The first thing most creators do is look at that letter - if you don’t have it done now, get it done ASAP!)
Assignments are due Sunday, 05 October 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Minimum requirement is 500 words (authors) or a nice sketch on clean, unlined paper/the equivalent in your medium (artists).
If it looks like you will be unable to complete your assignment for some reason, please default as soon as you are sure and let the mods know! This allows us as much time as possible to arrange a pinch hit. There is no penalty for defaulting before the due date.
Any pinch hits will be posted here as soon as we know about them.
Treats - meaning extra gifts - are always welcome, and anyone can create them, signed up or not. If you see a prompt you love and would like to create something for it, go for it! (Treats are not subject to the minimum requirements and have no deadline.) If you think you might like to treat, you can find all the requests in the Requests Summary, and the collection is here.
Hi! I had a question, which others might have too, so I'm fine with this being published to the blog. I'm feeling too overloaded to actually sign up, but I've looked through the prompts and felt inspired by a couple of them. Can we write fills for prompts and submit them without signing up? It just feels like less pressure, which is what I need right now.
Absolutely you can! Treats are very welcome whether or not you’ve signed up. Just please be sure that you’ve abided by your recipient’s Do Not Wants before gifting it to them.
You can also gift to the collection generally by adding it to the Innumerable Stars 2025 collection without a specific recipient.
The collection will open for posting once assignments have gone out.

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.
Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:
But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.
I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.
Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:
If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.
