What I've been up to (internets edition)
Ficcing:
A few weeks ago I got nostalgic for flashfic comms like sga_flashfic and decided to combine that with my ongoing Loki Show Derangement in a little experiment; since most of the people I know who are interested in writing and reading fic for that show are tumblr-based, I taped together a flashfic 'comm' out of an announcement tumblr and an AO3 collection.
We've had some wonderful stuff come in so far, mainly from the regulars on my Lokius discord who were there for the inception of this idea, but it's not ship-specific and it's open to all comers. Right now is our first amnesty week, so entries are welcome for any of the prompts posted so far. (New prompts go up on Wednesdays, because Wednesdays are the new Fridays. ;) )
Discord:
I'm very pleased to say that Sub-Etha Radio continues to be active and has moved organically into the spooky season, even though I haven't done anything organizational for it myself in ages. (Sometime before Halloween I hope I can pull together a group read of a Twilight Zone script or something, but we're all a lot busier than last year, myself included, so there's little likelihood of something as ambitious as last year's War of the Worlds night.)
We now have two Shirley Jackson novels being read aloud in serialized form, The Haunting of Hill House on Sundays from 4:30-5:30 PM Pacific time and We Have Always Lived in the Castle on Mondays in the same time slot. Hill House just started, so it wouldn't be too hard for new listeners to catch up on. We're further into Castle, but Artie, who's doing both of the Jackson hours, is very good at recaps as well as being a wonderfully engaging narrator.
On Tuesdays at 4:30 PM Pacific, we've been doing a series of solve-it-yourself five-minute mysteries and the occasional audio escape room. Murder, mayhem, terrible brainteasers, a good time had by all.
