So sorry - I thought this month was going to be difficult, but I hadn't expected posts to be this far apart.

If you've been using the table and tackling something each day, feel free to tell us all about it today. If not here's the table and pick up with today's (or any other day that suits) and tell us about it when you can - use this post until I manage to get up to speed enough to make another one.

Wishing you well for the month and remember the aim of the month's challenges is that most can be adapted to fit what you need so if it says a 'flat surface', any type of flat surface will do - desks, worktops, floors, tables and so on. Similarly a vertical surface could be a window, a tiled wall, mirror or door.

This is supposed to be a low-stress challenge - if you miss a day, it doesn't matter, if the day's challenge doesn't suit, repeat the day before or start on the next day's. With the exception of two days, the challenges should take about 10 minutes, if you want to spend longer that's great, judge by your personal available time and energy.

To make it easier to take part and not be held up by time differences and days when I'm not able to post, all challenges will be posted in the table below the cut to aid both those taking part and the daily poster.

My biggest request for the month is that, whenever you can, you join in the chat - even if you haven't done the day's challenge come and cheer for others. We're here for the ups and downs this month so you can tell us when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes.

( Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )

And so today's challenge is to spend 10 minutes dealing with food.

Good luck and have a great September.

Your doctor can write you a prescription for one even if you are perfectly healthy and your only issue is wanting to stay that way. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom.

Now, we cannot comment on how you might personally feel about this topic, as it is a rather divisive one amongst feline fanatics. But this story centers around a cattery and what they described as being 'poor genetic material'. Which immediately sets off fires in our eyes, as how can any hooman have the audacity to comment so derisively about a cute cat child no matter how impressive their genetics may or may not be. But that it not even the most infuriating part of this story, for the real drama only starts after the cattery adopts the poor catto out to a loving family who promise to give the feline fur baby a furever home that it deserves.

For when the cattery suddenly was without a so called 'stud' they had the gall to turn to the new adopted pawrents to ask for the sub-par feline back for a round of mating. Absolutely shocking stuff, and yet another reminder of how we need to be solely adopting from shelters so that catteries like this go out of business.

Cat rescues just got a whole lot more complicated with this story, and it is hard to put how we feel about the implications into words. You see, usually the biggest concern a would-be feline rescuer might have is that they are unwittingly taking someone's cat child, who simply went out for a stroll and maybe lost their collar and look a little scruffy. A problem which is rather easily avoided thanks to microchips and strong social media communities that support finding lost pets.

But what happens when a would-be rescuer comes across a kitten who is obviously feral, takes them in, and a few days later sees the cat's feline mother come back around to check up on her kitten? This is the conundrum that we will be taking a look at within this story, and we can tell you it is not an easy one to judge.

Just a friendly reminder to those posting on Tumblr that using the @ function for tagging the WIPBB blog is not enough unless you've added your bragging rights to the post. I will not reblog posts that don't have bragging rights attached! You can add them to a reblog and @ us again, or email the filled out bragging rights to the mod email and I can add them as a reblog to your original post. You can also submit your bragging rights to Tumblr with a link to your fic/art and a link to your Tumblr post!

Also, re: posting late. If you are posting late within 24 hours of your posting date you're fine; life happens and we totally understand. If it's over 24 hours late, though, please request a new posting date. We have plenty of open slots!

I'd been kind of waiting to post about this to see if there was word if he was alright or not, which it sounds like he at least has support, which is good. The whole thing is very upsetting, and people have also been having some very bad takes.

Basically, the rapper Lil Nas X seems to have been having a mental health thing, got the cops called on him, and is now arrested on truly B.S. felony charges. I hate everything about this, especially the person who filmed him at a vulnerable moment and (probably) sold that film to TMZ. Fuck that person. Fuck TMZ, also.

Some takes from Black youtubers about homophobia in the Black community, especially in hip hop (which is not saying that the Black community is uniquely homophobic!)

ForeignFridays: The Gay Double Standard.

OlayandFriends: The Gay Agenda Isn't Real but Homophobia is.

A couple takes from white queer voices on how fucking racist the whole conversation has been, and also the cops dealing with mental health calls is B.S.:

Teen Vogue: Why Lil Nas X's Arrest Is More Proof Police Have No Business Treating the Mentally Ill.

Ophie-Dokie: Lil Nas X Situation Is Disturbing.

Having been moaning on over at bluesky about scholars these days not acknowledging existing (older) historiography, Dept of Preening Gratification was coming across footnote cite to 30 year-old co-authored work as 'A key starting point' for certain 'productive considerations' within the field.

On the other prickly paw, I am still failing to get up to a proper swing at the essay review - keep niggling and picking at the bit I've already done.

Partly due to Interruptions happening.

Also partly due to not sleeping terribly well this week for some reason.

Discovered today that I had somehow acquired an ebook of recent work on subject I have had far too much to do with and had totally forgotten about it. Looking up an area of Mi Pertikler Xpertize, o dear, a number of niggling Errours.

Attended a webinar the other day where someone claimed that a certain class of records did not survive in respect of the lower orders on account They Could Not Write, and I was more, no, it's an issue of preservation, what about those postcards that I spoke about on a TV programme once - but that is such an annoying story, what DID happen to the cards after the filming? - apart from the flaunting of Being Meedja Personality, so decided not to raise my virtual hand.

Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Pieces begin to fall into place.

Mace is on the trail of the Sith master, or at least the master of the Zabrak Sith that Qui-Gon and Anakin had killed on Tatooine eight years ago. Obi-Wan is still tormented by evil dreams, but an old friend tells him that he needs to take a trip. And Master Yoda is finally back at the Temple, and he gets some potentially unwelcome news.

Sometimes, the Cat Distribution System takes its time. A stray will appear in our lives, steal our hearts, and yet circumstances make it impossible to scoop them up and bring them home right away. It feels like the CDS is "clogged" - the cat is there, the love is real, but the timing just isn't. And yet, good pawrents know patience is part of the journey. They keep watch, provide food, offer kindness, and promise themselves: "One day, when the stars align, you're coming home with me". Because adoption isn't always instant. Sometimes it's a long game of trust, waiting, and preparing for the moment when everything finally clicks into place. And when that moment comes? Oh, there's nothing sweeter than seeing a cat who once braved the streets stretch out in the comfort of a forever home.

That's exactly what happened with Sunny. For three years, his human looked out for him - feeding him, patching him up after street fights, loving him from just outside the doorway. They couldn't take him in before, but when the move came, so did the chance to say: "Okay, it's time". Sunny walked through that door, paw sprain and all, and never looked back. The CDS may take the scenic route, but it always delivers.

It’s time for the return of our franchise wrangling post! Please make sure to look at our previous franchise nominations guidelines and see if they still work for you and your fandoms, as well as get a general sense of how a franchise is likely to be split or nominated.

What is this post for?

Is one of your fandoms part of a large franchise? Do you have a case for why your fandom should appear in the tagset in a specific way? (All Media Types, Split by Specific Movie and TV Show, Some Combination of These?)

Please comment below to let me know how you and other fans of this franchise would like your fandom to appear in the tagset! (If there's already a thread for your fandom please comment there.)

I will be taking suggestions until October 31st 11:59 PM EDT so the new franchise nominations guidelines for the 2025/2026 round can be updated well ahead of nominations opening. Thank you all so much for helping to crowdsource this resource that keeps our tagset organized!

Okay, so the bit where I'm falling down on the holiday is sleep.

Air-con is too much. Bed is too soft. Pillows are too hard. Not warm enough.

AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH

Last night, I woke up at 3:30am and...didn't really manage to get back to sleep until around 6am. And even that was only for about half an hour.

I'm travelling okay, though. COVID has cleared up, although I sometimes feel a bit stupid lately, trying to work out what I'm saying and how to say it, and thinking "I'm sure I used to know how to phrase this".

Anyway, it's nearly 11pm where I am.

Time for sleeeeeeeep.

Forging Ghost, a Spike/Angel fanfiction archive, is being imported to the Archive of Our Own (AO3).

In this post:

Background explanation

Forging Ghost was a Yahoo! Group dedicated to fanfiction for Spike/Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series. Ghostsforge, the moderator, preserved Forging Ghost when Yahoo! Groups was shut down in 2019 and asked Open Doors for assistance in importing its works to AO3.

The purpose of the Open Doors Committee’s Online Archive Rescue Project is to assist moderators of archives to incorporate the fanworks from those archives into the Archive of Our Own. Open Doors works with moderators to import their archives when the moderators lack the funds, time, or other resources to continue to maintain their archives independently. It is extremely important to Open Doors that we work in collaboration with moderators who want to import their archives and that we fully credit creators, giving them as much control as possible over their fanworks. Open Doors will be working with Ghostsforge to import Forging Ghost into a separate, searchable collection on the Archive of Our Own. As part of preserving the archive in its entirety, all fanart currently in Forging Ghost will be hosted on the OTW’s servers, and embedded in their own AO3 work pages.

We will begin importing works from Forging Ghost to the AO3 after September. However, the import may not take place for several months or even years, depending on the size and complexity of the archive. Creators are always welcome to import their own works and add them to the collection in the meantime.

What does this mean for creators who had work(s) on Forging Ghost?

We will send an import notification to the email address we have for each creator. We’ll do our best to check for an existing copy of any works before importing. If we find a copy already on the AO3, we will add it to the collection instead of importing it. All works archived on behalf of a creator will include their name in the byline or the summary of the work.

All imported works will be set to be viewable only by logged-in AO3 users. Once you claim your works, you can make them publicly viewable if you choose. After 30 days, all unclaimed imported works will be made visible to all visitors.

Please contact Open Doors with your Forging Ghost pseud and email address(es), if:

You’d like us to import your works, but you need the notification sent to a different email address than you used on the original archive.
You already have an AO3 account and have imported your works already yourself.
You’d like to import your works yourself (including if you don’t have an AO3 account yet).
You would NOT like your works moved to the AO3, or would NOT like your works added to the archive collection.
You are happy for us to preserve your works on the AO3, but would like us to remove your name.
You have any other questions we can help you with.

Please include the name of the archive in the subject heading of your email. If you no longer have access to the email account associated with your Forging Ghost account, please contact Open Doors and we’ll help you out. (If you’ve posted the works elsewhere, or have an easy way to verify that they’re yours, that’s great; if not, we will work with the Forging Ghost mod to confirm your claims.)

Please see the Open Doors Website for instructions on

importing your works to the AO3
adding your works to the new collection Forging Ghost

If you still have questions…

If you have further questions, visit the Open Doors FAQ, or contact the Open Doors committee.

We’d also love it if fans could help us preserve the story of Forging Ghost on Fanlore. If you’re new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips.

We’re excited to be able to help preserve Forging Ghost!

Interminable September progresses. The next two weeks are going to be the especially busy parts, but I made fifteen portions of pasta (waiting for me in the freezer), started refusing any invitations to do anything whatsoever in September that isn't already in my calendar ("not even for your poor sick mother??" she said, and I said NO but how about the first weekend in October), and am as up together as I can manage (not terribly).

I'm also in full hibernation mode and doing nothing in my actual free time except read intensely and greedily (already finished one of the poll-winners). I haven't bought any more books since last week, though, so that's something. I'm going to bribe myself with volume 2 of Wayne Family Adventures when I survive the month, though.

my brief audio description

Asian man faces camera, sitting at laptop with white earbuds and animated face. Another person's back enters the screen. "This motion" is him pointing to his ear then the laptop and nodding. The picture on his desk is just the words "food" and "healthcare"

Stream: ( right on here )

When you want to view a YouTube short in the classic YouTube screen (with the controls you're familiar with!) you replace the word "shorts" in the link with the word "watch"

I first saw this and the link was youtube.com/shorts/I908J9_u0WE

To use the classic horizontal player go to youtube.com/watch/I908J9_u0WE

Edited due to a strange Markdown bug: when I create a bare link with angle brackets, uppercase letters are transformed into lower case.

<https://youtube.com/watch/i908j9_u0we> becomes https://youtube.com/watch/i908j9_u0we (and the video ID string in the code example are I908J9_u0WE)

but when I create a Markdown link [youtube.com/watch/I908J9_u0WE](https://youtube.com/watch/I908J9_u0WE) the case remains as typed.

You an prepaw yourself as much as you want, you'll never be fully ready for a child. It doesn't matter if it's adopting a new kitty, pupper, or bringing a hooman child. When we adopted our first cat, we prepared for weeks. We got the litter, bags of food, treats, toys, even a cat tree! We coached our partner, who had never had a cat before, about how our lives would change with a fur baby in the house. And then we went to pick her up, we brought her back, and we realized how blissfully unprepared we were.

All of this to say that even if you did your Boy Scout's best to prepare for a new cat child, it wouldn't really matter because as long as you have a warm place for them to sleep and some food, you're about as prepared as you'll ever be. That's what happened to this canine-loving family below, when one of their doggos alerted them to something in the backyard. To their surprise, it was a smol, sassy kitten stuck in their wood pile. She was screaming at the top of her lungs for help, and as soon as they rescued her, she decided she was already a member of their fuzzy family. She follows around one of their doggos like he's her mom, and we'd be lying if we said it wasn't the cutest thing ever.

Sigh, another day of work is upon us. Another day of waking up early, working hard, trying to do everything in our power to provide not only for ourselves but also for our highly spoiled cats. It's worth it. We know it is. Our cats are our lives. But it does mean that we have to work that extra little bit to buy them that extra fancy Fancy Feast. It's a good thing that our cats repay us every day. And no, we're not talking about them being so cute and pettable. We're talking about funny cat memes.

Just think, without our cats, spoiled, chaos-causing cats, there would be no relatable cat memes. And a world without hissterical cat memes is a world that we do not even want to imagine. So, really, we should just be quiet, go to work, provide for our purrfect cuties, and say thank you to them every day for existing long enough for memes about them to become a thing.

Unfortunately I need to take a preemptive (and hopefully temporary measure): screening all comments made by people not on my access list on most of my journal posts. This is because the level of filters available for comment screening are none, all, or non-access list only.

I'm hoping that this will only need to be a temporary thing and I can revert back to normal, unscreened settings, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to check if anyone subscribed to me, but not on the access list wanted to be granted access.

The vast majority of my posts have always been public, and I want to keep things that way, and I tend to defer to other people's preferences when granting access (i.e. if someone adds me as the result of e.g. a friending meme, if they subscribe only, I reciprocate, and if they grant access, I reciprocate in that way as well). But I'm not precious about this, and don't expect reciprocity.

If you're already on my access list, nothing should really change and you should be able to comment on most posts as normal. If you would like to be granted access, please comment on this post (here all comments are screened) or send me a message. If you're happy with things as they are, do be aware that future comments of yours may be screened, but I'll try to unscreen them at the point at which I reply.

I hope this makes sense — feel free to ask for clarification in the comments if you're not sure what I'm explaining here.
