THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT (2004) dir. Garry Marshall

[ghostbees]

Various disorganised Ring for Jeeves/Come On, Jeeves thoughts brought to you by...well, nothing, I'm simply always thinking about measly late canon crumbs:

Wodehouse editing out crossdressing ghost Jeeves when novelising the play is honestly...sigh, we could have had it all!

Guy with no employment gap and a passion for lying: “Yeah, I was in the war, for sure.”

Darning looms such as the ‘Speedweve’ were very popular in the fifties, though I'm not sure that would have been of any help to Bertie. Also, did you know the first London hamburger parlour opened in 1954?

friend: please drink tonight you're so weird when you're sober

me: i promise i'll be regular

friend: okay as long as you promise

me: (zero beers in) (unprompted) the humble mole can dig up to 100x its body weight in soils each day. The humble mole can survive on a single worm for 80 nights. The humble mole can meditate for 1001 moons uninterrupted. The humble mole can forgive.

I fell for her like Troy fell to the Greeks; quickly, and in the most embarrassing way imaginable.

[poniatowskaja]

I’m guessing you’re referring to the incident with the horse, but that came at the end of a war that lasted 10 years. Speed is relative, but if it takes you ten years to fall for someone, I would not call that ‘quickly’.

[rareandradiant-maiden]

I fell for her like Troy fell to the Greeks: slowly, then all at once, and with the aid of a giant livestock model

really funny to meet a genderless alien and make them your gender out of convenience and then fall in love and now you’re gay. you made yourself be gay.

[cloudabserk]

in most cases (ie the left hand of darkness) there’s some amount of gender imagery that is latched on to to justify the arbitrary gendering. in project hail mary he meets a rock and is like this is a boy rock because i’m a boy too :)

castiel saw dean winchester and said hey i like this thing. i like it so much. its a man? i love that. im going to be a man too

Small Fandom Summer 2026!

For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.

And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:

So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.

There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.

Here's to creativity!

Since some people have asked: There's now a Small Fandom Summer 2026 AO3 Collection! You can post your stuff right here! It's completely open and unmoderated, so if you think something goes there, well, go on and add it! Hopefully by the end of the summer, we'll have a nice little collection of stuff there.

And since some other people have asked: There's no start date for this, nor is this an end date. "Summer" in this context is an extremely arbitrary unit of measurement. I'm starting now because my personal summer runs from about mid-May to mid-August. Yours may vary.

I'm thrilled so many people have seemed excited about this! I hope it inspires the creation of a whole bunch of good stuff!
