Chapters: 1/1
Summary:
“So it wasn’t enough for you to be one with my mind—you needed to be one with my body, too?” Jim flashes Spock a charming smile, knowing full well it will irritate Spock given their current predicament. Jim almost laughs at the way he can feel Spock trying to suppress the emotion and hide it away into the back of his mind as if Jim hadn’t already sensed it as it smacked against his own through their link. Jim does laugh at the way Spock’s face goes blank in spite of the deepening green blush, though. “I’m only kidding, Lieutenant.”
“I am well aware,” Spock says dryly. “The human tendency to inject humor, especially of the crude variety, into unhumorous situations is not unfamiliar to me.”
“Then you can’t be too terribly upset at me given I’m only human.”
And Jim knows he’s won Spock over as soon as he feels humor tickle through their connection.
Spock and Jim have been invited to participate in a special winter solstice celebration of a close planetary ally, which leads to the two of them touching each other's chests. Jim has a lot of feelings about it and finds himself wanting to get closer to Spock.
In response to a prompt by selfmadepurgatories.

Summary:
The calming sound of a fire burning filled the room as the smell of freshly baked cookies started permeating the air even more with the opening of the oven. Outside, the world was covered in a blanket of white, the last remnants of a slight storm that had blown over not long ago. Jim curled his hands around his mug of hot cocoa and breathed in deeply; he’d always loved this time of year.

Dear K/S friends,Greetings! July is here, and so are we with our fourth progress report!
1. New concom member:
We are happy to welcome our new concom member, starshiplillian, who will support the team in Registrations, Logistics, and Communications. If you've been to one of our Pub Nights before, then you already know Lillian. Her bio on Conline claims that she is "several unionized lizards disguised as a functional concom member", but (while we won't dispute the unionized lizards, on the grounds of awesomeness) we can tell you that she is also the librarian of the U.S. branch of the K/S Zine Library and in the process of preparing the relaunch of this branch. You can reach her at lillian @ kiscon . org.
2. Upcoming deadline: Con Zine!
If you want to submit your fic, art, poetry, meta to the KiScon zine, here's your friendly reminder that the deadline of 1 August is soon upon us! For submissions and also any and all questions about the zine, please get in touch with our editor Carleen: kszinesubs @ gmail.com.
3. KiScon Discord (“KiScord”):
Avid readers of our newsletters might ask how many more times we will dedicate a paragraph to our KiScon Discord server. The answer is easy: as many times as necessary to get y'all to join it. It really is important that our con attendees use and are comfortable with Discord; it is not "just another social media platform", but a vital tool for the online convention.
We have a walkthrough with many screenshots (pdf) that you can download from our website. This document explains to you all the steps of creating a Discord account and joining the KiScon server. After creating your account and joining the server, don't forget to accept the #rules by clicking the emoji with the Vulcan salute – it will automagically make the various channels of the server appear. 1lostone is always happy to help you with any and all technical questions: 1lostone @ kiscon . org
Join us for one of our Pub Nights to try out Discord and enjoy the company of fellow K/S fans. We regularly announce these events in the KiScon FB group and in the KiScon Discord server.
If you had not seen the announcement in time or can't make it to this one, fear not – there are more to happen soon:
23 July, 5 p.m. EDT
13 August, 3 p.m. EDT
3 September, 5 p.m. EDT

5. Art show / auction:
A virtual con means a virtual art show, but we want it to be as glorious as in person. This fandom is rich in talent and creativity, and we hope to showcase a great variety at KiScon 2022.
This year's art show will be presented via a slideshow vid that will be accessible all throughout the convention weekend, much like an exhibition in the Rec Room. You can submit both digital art and traditional art (paintings, drawings/prints, but also three-dimensional artworks like sculptures, amigurumi, fibre craft, jewellery etc.); traditional artworks and physical items need to be either scanned or photographed. The show itself is purely digital and welcomes pieces from all K/S fans, not only registered con attendees.
Please submit your artworks or the scans/photos of your artworks via this form. Deadline: 1 October 2022.
Good-quality files in jpg or png format (300 dpi) are recommended. Please include your exact artist name and the title of your works, plus any kind of information (e.g. medium, year of creation) that you would like us to mention. The artworks do not need to have been created for the convention, but can be as old or new as they come.
If you would like to not only show your art but also offer it for sale in the auction, please make sure to tell us for each artwork you submit and include the starting bid. In the case of digital art, the winning bid will then get a very high-res file of the work (to set it apart from the version featured in the vid and auction catalogue). In the case of traditional art you will send it to the buyer in its physical form. The online format of KiScon 2022 does not make it possible for us to organise the actual exchange of money for art; it would not be feasible for us to store the physical artworks and send them across the globe to the winning bidders. This is also why we will not take any commission this year!
We'll gladly help buyers and artists to keep track of all purchases and match you up with contact details, and we will keep a watchful eye on the process to ensure fairness and accountability, but each buyer is ultimately responsible for transferring the money to the artist, and each artist for making sure the artwork gets safely delivered to the buyer.
If you would like to dedicate one of your auctioned artworks or a percentage of it to this year's charity (to be voted on during the con), to the support of KiScon itself, or to Ukraine, please let us know at the time of submitting the artwork.
Artworks submitted by their artists for auction will not only be in the art show vid, but also featured in an auction catalogue / gallery that will be part of the digital goodie bag each con attendee receives via Conline.
Should you want to offer an artwork or item in the auction that you have not created yourself, for example something that you once bought for your collection but now would like to send to a good new home, then it will only be featured in the auction catalogue / gallery, not in the slideshow vid, as we cannot ascertain the permission of the artist.
For any and all questions regarding the art show and auction, please get in touch with us at artshow @ kiscon . org.

Posted a short holiday Spirk fic for the ks-advent-that-wasn’t. It was beta’d by the fabulous @voulezvulcan.
Joy abounds on the USS Enterprise during the holiday season, and Jim was no exception to the rule—until recently. Now, the man is hiding some kind of pain, and Spock is determined to discover the source and help his ashayam through it.

I can’t believe I’ve been doing the K/S Advent for six years in a row! Amanda and Arminaa always do a fantastic job organizing. Be sure to check out all the stories and art! Here’s my super-duper fluffy contribution.

Four chefs. Three courses. One chance to win. Federation Food Network’s CHOPPED!
Okay so first of all, before you click the link above, I had an artist for this Advent!!! The amazing @rimedio8 did art for this fic here: https://rimedio8.tumblr.com/post/168640055470/ks-advent-2017
They did three pieces for me and I’m so grateful.
You can read other Ks Advent submissions (and look at all the pretty arts!) here!
One quick note about the fic (written for @foxyfoxyk) it’s in 4 parts, hopefully posted fairly quickly. I go on holidays on the 22nd, so I should be able to actually do things then. 1000 apologies for the fact that it’s currently a WIP. My goal is to get it finished for the 25th, or at the absolute latest, the 31st! Thanks to @justelliey for the beta and @jlm121 for the everything!
K/S Advent request for help!
