It's the last [community profile] sunshine_challenge prompt today: violet. The challenge mods are encouraging participants to use this prompt as a way to offer [things to] others to bring a little sunshine into their lives.

I can't make graphics or vids, and I can't reliably write fic on the spot (unless it's for one of my tiny book fandoms-of-one, which I suspect is an unlikely thing for anyone to request).

But what I can do is cheerlead, comment, and essentially provide a lot of enthusiasm. (Seriously, every Yuletide I set myself the goal of commenting on at least 50-70 fics in the main collection, and at least 20 in Madness, and I generally do so.) And so what I am offering is this: comment with a link to one fanwork (art, fic, vid, fanmix, graphics, whatever you choose) that you are especially proud of, and I will leave you a comment either on Ao3 or Dreamwidth. It doesn't have to be a fanwork you produced for [community profile] sunshine_challenge (you don't have to be participating in the challenge at all), just something you made and feel happy about.

Obviously it will be easier for me to make a substantive comment if I am familiar with the fandom, but I will do my best even if it's not something I know much about. Likewise, I will be quicker at commenting on visual fanworks, or shorter fics than on 100,000-word epics, but if the latter is what you want to share with me, I will comment eventually!

Today's post title is brought to you by the lyrics of this excellent song:



A quick update on 28th July

I am overwhelmed with the response to this offer, and I am definitely looking forward to reading (and commenting on) all your fic, but it might be some days before I get to it. If you haven't had a response from me yet, it's definitely going to happen, but it may not be before the weekend. I will update this post again when I've commented on everyone's fics.

Knowing your preference for literary fanworks, I will point to my Beauty and the Beast fairytale Rough Diamond. It's one of my older stories (first Yuletide!), but still one I'm pretty proud of.

Awww, I remember that I podficced that! It was ages ago--not sure I would dare to listen to it now. *g*

Oh no, I still love your version! You should put it on AO3 so I can link to it as a related work.

A while ago I uploaded most of my podfics to AO3, but not my very earliest ones...I suppose I just don't like them much anymore--they are so extremely slow! But I suppose that maybe I should upload them anyway--I always think it's a pity when authors take down fic that I enjoy but that they might be self-conscious about.
