hii so i’ve been reading sansan fics on ao3… nonstop for a year haha. and im dabbling in writing my first fic?? i had seen some mentions in sansan fics of joining the discord server and i was wondering if you could help me out! (: hope this finds you well!

Hello - and welcome to the crazy world of Sansan! I have to admit though that I have been lying low myself for quite a while - real life got in the way and all that... 😔

I know of two Sansan Discords: A Better Day[Sansan] and SanSan Writers Guild. They both seem active, but the first one seems to require age verification for most channels.

I trust that administrators or active members of those Discords find this post, and maybe others can share more Discords as well, hence posting this reply in the tags...

I hope you find them well - and do enjoy! 😘😊😉

New Year's Resolutions

Rules: Post at least some 6 (or more) fandom New Year’s resolutions for 2026 and then tag at least some 6 friends.

Thank you so much for still remembering me in fandoms, @enchi-elm ! I have been terribly remiss in all my fandom activities for a while, limited to some rare and somewhat random fic reading and Tumblr scrolling… I blame my work and the time it takes and stress it causes, making me exhausted even thinking about doing something as active as writing, making videos and generally being active in fandom and events as I did before… Ugh! Anyway, for 2026 I try:

Finally post a fic that I wrote and totally finished already 1 (or 2?) years ago but never ended up posting on AO3. Not for any particular reasons, but just…because…😔 It is in ‘Turn: Washington’s Spies” fandom, a Tallster fic.

Write at least one fic in any fandom – old or new. Even if not publishing it, but just for challenging my ‘writing muscles’.

Read at least one fic a month in old or new fandoms, just to see what’s up.

Leave comments to the afore mentioned fics, of course!

Continue responding to all comments I get for my old fics.

Comment on Tumblr too to fandom-related posts in fandoms I like.

Tagging @writerloverpsycho-pomp and @littlefeatherr!

Thanks! 😊

I hope this joke outlives the context that made it, leaving future generations baffled.

Nice, but apparently fake... 😔

Edible Road Salt in Sweden. A Hoax or True? Factcheck

A viral post claims Sweden now spreads edible road salt made from beet extract and corn starch so birds can safely lick it in winter. Hoax o

you know what? fuck it *reads the fanfic I spent hours writing for my own enjoyment*

[wynnyfryd]

if you’re not rereading your own 3yo one-shots every once in a while so you can shake your head at the ao3 tab and mutter god i’m fucking funny then what are we even doing all this work for?

[ladytp]

Well said - that's exactly why I am doing it...🤣

[ladytp]

Sometimes I stumble upon some old stuff I wrote ages ago and wonder "Did I really write that?" - in a good way.

Today's discovery:

"Poor man, you’d chew him for breakfast and clean your teeth with his sword afterwards.”

Broccoli & goat blue cheese balls with lemon-youghurt dressing and pan-fried breast of duck with creamy Savoy cabbage and asparagus.

Blue goat cheese and lemon were not a match made in heaven, but separately and subtly mingled, the flavours were excellent... And duck breast, temperature just about 54 C, was succulent as F!😋

Movie Tag Game

Tagged by @littlefeatherr - thank you, dear!

Rules: Without naming them, post a gif from ten of your favourite films, then tag 10 people to do the same.

Well, after lots of ooh'ing and aah'ing I came up with 10 films - but I am afraid I will not find 10 people to tag... I have been way too dormant and out of the loop from my Tumblr friends recently... 😔 But I tag @amplifyme, @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly, @writerloverpsycho-pomp, @octopuscato, @enchi-elm, @athena-noctua-bubo. and anyone else who feels like looking back into the movies they enjoyed... 😁
