I had two things shipping to my parents house. One that was supposed to be shipped back on the 30th but was telling me it should have arrived monday and one that should have shipped by the 3rd that wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow. Both arrived today. Woot. I bought my coveted raven dress from Svaha when they had everything 40% off and I had preordered the husk and angel figures in Loser Baby blue in the summer. Wow, Bandai really hit it out of the park with these two (especially compared to the stuff I got from Youtooz). Now to find a place to put them.

Made it back to Ohio (nearly forgot my apartment key!) half the crap is in the house, half is still in the car. It was a good drive. Rocket is between my feet on the recliner, happy as hell I'm back (mad as hell that I forgot to leave behind 1 can of food for him and only have kibble, he's mad as hell and I hear about it every time I move)

Given how iced over my freezer is, my power must have been out for a long time. Probably throwing all of that stuff out. sigh.

What I Just Finished Reading:

Keeping the Secret - Mostly the tales of the WAVS in Dayton OH in the ladies' own words

Murder Made Her Wicked - loved this historical mystery set in Wellesley

What I am Currently Reading:

The Witching Hour - by Heather Graham. how is this series so successful? This is not my first in the series (which I forgot when I requested this arc) this is not good.

Murder in the Ranks - Set in WWII with the WAACs in North Africa. Really different. I've read other WWII mysteries but never one with the lady in the war zone. I'm very much enjoying this one

What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia and Zombie Day Care

Mom and I went to the casino to lose money and I did that well. Mom won. We also hit Primanti's and I got a second rubber ducky in my duck juice cocktail so yay for that.

I am not ready for work for reasons I don't want to get into publicly and has everything to do with the changes Ohio's Republicans have made with education.

So for my second fannish 50, have bunch of fandom related end of year memes

And it was a long weird one for me. Couldn't sleep until after 3 AM only to have someone call the house at 7 AM (non emergency, OMG) and then my cousins were out here from 11-1. One lives not that far from here but the other was up from NC with his girlfriend.

It was actually a nice visit. Afterward that, it was warm enough to melt the ice and Mom and I escaped the hill. Managed to get to Macy's, picked up a last act shirt and blue jeans (all for under 34$ yay), some St. Germaine's liquor to add to my cocktail collection (am contemplating tossing the bottles all over the place back home, maybe the landlord will think it's such a mess because I drink too much) and then on to homegoods to get a new frying pan and whatever other trouble I could find (this time its name was pfeffernusse, and no I'm not sorry)

Almost blacked out at what the Chinese restaurant had jacked their prices too (we had an old menu)

I didn't get much writing done but I did finish the last of my planned

fandomtrees stories. Now to see if there is anything I can do in the many zero or 1 gift trees.

I got this from

trobadora and

sanguinity, the New Year's Book Prediction Meme

Grab the nearest book.
Turn to page 126
The 6th full sentence is your life in 2026.

I got 'I know he swaggers' from one of the two books and "The next thing I knew I was hit in the side by what felt like a streetcar.'

Hmmm I wouldn't mind meeting a swaggering man but we know which of these I'll get.

And it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is #8 a song from your first concert. I am ashamed to say I can't even remember which WAS my first concert. I think it was this. If not it was very close to being the first.

Watch on YouTube

And finally i have the whole prompt list

Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.

I’ve often waxed lyrical about the joys of fandom at my journal, and I never need another excuse to do that, because there’s so much to love about fandom!

Fandom isn’t just a group of people who happen to like the same TV show or film, or book. We’re a family; a community. We’re a community of like-minded people who all love the same thing and who can openly share their likes, loves, and passions with each other.

And like any community, we interact, we have fun, we take care of the more vulnerable members of our community, we support each other’s dreams and cheerlead each other’s challenges.

But fandom isn’t just an abstract thing; to me it’s a place. It’s a place with no borders, where us fans, regardless of or race or sexuality or whatever other characteristics we may have can go to belong, to be welcomed into the arms of a community that is accepting and fun; a community that GETS us.

Somehow, friendships made through fandom are easy; easier than friendships forged in real life through work, or school or location. Real life friendships have to form and evolve. When you start out, you’re just two disparate strangers working for the same organisation, or living in the same street. Friendships made through fandom, on the other hand, begin with you both knowing something about each other - what you love and what you have in common. And although those friendships may start out as something as simple and superficial as a shared love of the same TV show, or the same book, they quickly grow into something far more meaningful.

Many of my fandom friendships have outgrown the computer screen and crossed over into real life, and those friendships have given me more joy than I could ever put into a simple post like this.

Members of fandom are often those of us that society thinks of as ‘weird’ or a bit odd, or on the edge of ‘normal’. A lot of us probably had a rough time at school and have never been regarded as 'cool' or in with the ‘in’ crowd; but in fandom, ‘weirdness’ is embraced, individuality is celebrated, imagination is admired. Fandom is where you can be yourself, where you can be all that you can be, and more.

And that is why I will always love fandom!

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

We are kind of in between pets at the moment. Both of my cats have somewhat recently passed. Romeo in 2021 at the age of 15 and Kamikaze in 2023 at 16 1/2. We do plan on getting more cats, it just hasn't worked out yet.

Now, I said kind of because there is the matter of Tuxedo. Going on 6 years ago, a next door neighbor moved away and left his kitten behind. This was very much a kitten and not a full grown cat. The reasons the cat was left behind are unclear, as there are too many versions of the story, but what we know for sure is that while the old man who owned the cat was in the hospital, whoever was caring for it did something to it and it has been terrified of people, including those it used to be fine with, and will not come indoors. He has never left the neighborhood and has survived all this time. Not knowing his original name, my mother and I have always called him Tuxedo. We have sense learned that his name was Quiz.

In the first 2 years, my mother and I both spent quite a lot of time trying to trap him to surrender him to the local animal shelter with no success. He is crafty. The local neighborhood children speak of him like a local cryptid. Everyone in the neighborhood has tried to capture him at one point or another. Eventually, we gave up. All it did was encourage Tuxedo to spend more time in our front yard which royally upset our inside cats.

But in April of 2024, my mother came to a realization; we have no longer have cats. She thus began her campaign to convince Tuxedo to live with us.

After 20ish months, there have been mixed results. He appears for food 1 to 5 times a day. He now shows up everyday fairly consistently, whereas before it wouldn't be uncommon for him to disappear for up to 3 weeks at a time. When the weather is nice, he will spend the vast majority of his time either in our yard or side garden, though he still "checks his trap line," as Mom puts it. During bad weather, he holds up in our garage. (He has several nice beds and boxes in the yard and the garage.) He understands the various things we call him as names that are in reference to him. He understands the words Mom uses for food time as meaning food time. While, he still run from the sight of me, he also seems to understand that when I say, "no stop" he doesn't need to leave the garage and "I'll get the old lady" means he's going to get fed. I feed him too, just not nearly as often. He also actually ran to my mother when she called him for lunch time the other day. We've never seen him run in his life.

He has also learned to get my mother's attention by staring at her through the screen door window, if the front door is open. He's done it exactly twice.

All that said. He is very much still his own cat. No one can approach him without him freaking out. He hisses at my mother when she puts food down for him. And after accidentally getting locked in the garage for an hour one morning, he wouldn't go in it for 2 weeks. (He did still expect food, just brought to his general vicinity outside. )

Though with the Christmas tree and several boxes of holiday decor down, he seems to have decided to winter in the newly free space in our attic loft.

Is he our cat? No. But we feed him and sometimes he kind of lives here.

I was also going to write a bit about our muder of crows and my 12 virtual pets on Subeta, but this got kind of long. I will add more upon request.

Snowflake Challenge: A warmly light quaint street of shops at night with heavy snow falling.

Challenge #1

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

Hi! I'm Spiralicious, aka Kat. I recently turned 40. I've been on DW for 14 years. My life is a little all over the place at the minute. My main hobbies are knitting, being library furniture, and consuming fandom things, but I have many others. I'm in more fandoms than are reasonable, but my core forever fandoms are Stargate, Supernatural, Batman, InuYasha, Blue Exorcist, Samurai Champloo, Northern Exposure, and Avatar the Last Airbender. I've got loads of links on my links post to learn more about me. Them, and the bio and interests on my profile, were last updated for the 2024 Snowflake Challenge, so not too out of date.

Here are 6 facts about me you probably won't find in my "about me" pages:

1. My mother and I have developed a new dinner ritual. Dinner is served and I pop in a DVD of whatever we're watching at the moment. When I'm done eating, I then usually switch to knitting for the rest of the DVD time. I haven't done the math, but my guess is that 90% of what we watch are British detective series and Sci fi shows. Right now, we are cycling between Brokenwood Mysteries, Inspector George Gently, A Touch of Frost, Star Trek Strange New Worlds, and our big fat Stargate rewatch. We've also been going through the tedious process of getting very exact copies of Starship Troopers through the library consortium. One of them has to play all the way through. (Normally, when you put a title on hold, which ever library in the consortium that has a copy that sees the hold request first fills it. To get a specific copy from a specific library is a process.)

2. I love covers of songs that are covered in a different genre than they were originally recorded.

3. My love of liminal and abandoned spaces is well advertised, but I have a special love for gas stations, convenience stores, and campgrounds specifically. (Yes, I have heard about the abandoned grocery store fandom and I am intrigued.)

4. I have a friend with dementia I visit with and make cards with every week.

5. I feel like westerns are underutilized as a genre to mix with other genres. Especially, horror. There should be more horror westerns.

6. I consume so many hockey AUs (and hockey themed books lately) because it makes teenage me happy despite me not having followed hockey in any way shape or form in 25 years.

What I hope to get out of the Snowflake:

I've been doing the Snowflake quite a few years, I'm not sure how many, but I missed last year. Doing the Snowflake, even when I don't finish, just gives my year a start on a happy footing. And it's fun to see how everyone else responds to the challenges.

trobadora is hosting write every day this month and posed a question to which several of us answered yes we remember to write every day and then asked how do we remember? Last night I had no real answer to that. I'm not sure I do today either.

Once upon a time Deepka Chopra was offering 21 day meditations for free with the idea that psychologists say if you do anything for 21 days it becomes a habit. I'm not sure where he read/invented that. I can tell you it didn't make me keep up my meditation once the 21 days were over for the most part so it might be hokum.

But the truth is I don't remember setting out to write every day but I have done so for so long HOW I managed to make it a habit is lost in my Dorrie the fish memory. I will say I'm NOT a believer in you MUST write every day but it certainly helps to have SOME kind of writing practice. I do know waiting for the mood or your muse isn't really going to get you anywhere.

But for some every day is too much pressure and not necessarily helpful. Some of us have difficult jobs, maybe more than one, we have partners, we have kids, we have chronic illness. Hell I'm always shocked by the people who can write with young kids. We need to be kind to ourselves or we risk damaging our creative self. Some of us can't work if we're anxious. Others (me!) write and write to make the anxiety calm.

And that's my biggest piece of advice for establishing a writing habit. Find what suits you. Some of you will be morning writers ew as far as working for me. I had one friend who was converted by that how to write book back in the later 80s early 90s that talked about morning papers and insisted that was the ONLY way to do it. Nope, there is no ONLY way. Some of you will need a dedicated quiet space. Others can write anywhere. Some might need to go out somewhere else because all the stuff at home is distracting.

Find what works for you and do that. And then do it again. Do it as often as you're comfortable with. If it helps you, set a deadline (which is one of the reasons I write every day. I'm very often on a very real deadline). Have a friend set a deadline for you if that helps. Basically you do you and keep on doing it. You may falter but that's okay. Dust yourself off and go for it again.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Oh, you’re going to regret challenging me to write about my pets! 😉

My pets are two very spoiled house rabbits. They are littermates (I hesitate to say siblings because I think there may be different fathers involved, so half siblings) and they came from a rabbit rescue sanctuary here in the UK. We got them when they were 16 weeks old, and they will be five in March.

They’re free roam in the living room, and out in the back garden when the weather’s nice – that’s because we have to sit out there to supervise them and keep an eye for predators.

My handsome little boy is Nutmeg, he’s a grumpy little ratbag plus he’s a jumper and an explorer. Since we’ve had him, he’s been up on the couch, the windowsill, the coffee table, various boxes we have around the place for them to play in, and on one memorable occasion, up on the dining table.

His beautiful 'sister' is Juniper. She’s much more sedentary than her brother. She’s all about the food and the comfort, a real lady of leisure. She’s very sweet and loving, and will sit around being fussed and loved while her brother squirms away like we’re dirty! Juniper was named in tribute to jj1564 whose name was June. We got the bunnies three months after June’s passing.

I’ve always loved rabbits, and have several throughout my life, but these are my first in the age of Social Media, so these two have their own Insta and their own Youtube channel.

I’ve always been a vocal supporter of rabbit welfare, and even more so now that house rabbits are becoming more of a thing, and knowledge of them and their needs is improving.

Here are just a few pointers as to why rabbits, although the third most popular pet in the UK (may well be similar in other countries), are also the most misunderstood, and as a result many of them live miserable, lonely and unhealthy lives:

Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not good starter pets for children. Rabbits generally don’t like being picked up and held (they’re prey animals and picking up is a predation trigger). Children can often be noisy and unpredictable, something else that rabbits don’t do well with.
Rabbits can live upwards of ten years. I’ve known of rabbits to make it to fourteen years of age.
They’re active and require a lot of space. A hutch is not sufficient for them.
They are social animals and do better in pairs or groups than alone.
They have a level of intelligence similar to a domestic cat so they need attention and stimulation. They require toys and hidey holes, plus an environment gives them security and the freedom to engage in natural behaviours.
They’re nibblers and that can’t be stopped, so nibblesome stuff has to be kept out of their way, or protected from them
From a veterinary point of view, they are classed as exotic pets, and so veterinary care may be costly. It’s always best to find a rabbit savvy vet as they have complex needs to keep them healthy including annual vaccinations

And that’s just for starters!

So it anyone you know mentions ‘getting a rabbit for the kids’, please show them my post!

Anyway, that's it from Nutmeg and Juniper...

Signing off!

Isn't this a great cover? It'll be out on the 23rd. My story is a sapphic one, set in the Hocking Hills of Ohio (yes again) and we do love our cryptids in Ohio. If you're interested you can preorder it
here.

All I did today was be stuck atop an icy hill and help Mom take down Christmas. This is a multi day process. I have decided next Christmas I DO need to come home asap because I never get to any of the things I want to do after the holiday. I had at least a half dozen holiday things I wanted to do and I'll be lucky to do one. sigh.

I did finish another

I was supposed to join my brother and SiL for dinner. Couldn't get off the hill.

I'll be honest. I hold out very little hope for this year being better than last year. I did the Meriam Webster's thing on bluesky, you screenshot their gif and whatever word you get sets the tone for your year. I got moribund. Are you fucking kidding me? Why is that even a choice? Is it literally just spitting out every word in the dictionary.

But moribund feels right for the 2020s which if I'm continuing to be honest sucked donkey dong. 2020 - covid 2021- nearly lost my leg and took a year to learn to walk again 2022-23 weren't as horrid 24 - lost my uncle 25 - lost my last uncle. So while I'm hoping moribund is NOT my word of the year, it feels right.

Right about now is when I do my good things jar (okay usually it's next week when I get back to Ohio but I know what's in it) it has three things, presented my sabbatical research (at work and at my conference), got a story into an anthology (i'll give you that info tomorrow) and I went to an all inclusive resort for the first time in Mexico. Pretty slim pickings for good things. Mostly 2025 was me trying to not lose my sanity.

So resolutions? Eh, I don't really make them. I've given my writing goals. In addition to that I'd like to see if I can come up with lunches that don't spike my blood sugar, I'd like to get more active but what I need more than anything, a cleaning schedule for my home because this cannot go on as is.

I'm still thinking about doing

snowflake_challenge. I got really sideways with this challenge a couple years ago and lost my taste for it. But a lot of my list is doing it...sigh

But here, let me share some cool things about me and my writing

Challenge #1

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

I’m delighted that Snowflake Challenge is back! New year can sometimes be such a grim time with manky weather and long nights. The Snowflake always gives me such a great little positivity boost during that dreary time and January wouldn’t be the same without it!

So fandom-wise, I'm still mainly active in the Supernatural fandom although my participation has diminished significantly, I still seem to be inspired to produce a fair amount of traditional art, plus I seem to be going to more conventions than ever! Best of all, the friendships I made through the Spn fandom haven’t just lasted the distance, they seem to have grown stronger!

Anyway, in terms of fandom information, mine is mostly the same as previous years:

All of my fan fiction can be found at Fanfiction.net and AO3

All of my fan art, both digital and traditional can be found at Deviantart

I’m still present on Livejournal. I’ve always described Livejournal as my online home, and it’s sad to see that it’s such an empty shadow of its former self. However, I’ve got too many wonderful memories of that place to ever give up on it entirely. I have a back up mirror account at Dreamwidth where I cross post from Livejournal

I used to have a Twitter account which was mostly based in fannish stuff, but I deleted my account last year for the hellscape it became. I’ve been playing in the Blue Sky sandbox instead and feel much more at home there!

So that's me :)

Public Domain in 2026
Happy New Year’s everyone. I hope it is filled with creativity. When a work's copyright expires, it enters the public domain. In the United States, all works first published in 1930 and sound recordings from 1925 are now available for adaption, performance, and other transformative works. There are worldwide variations in the copyright law and I’ve included works found on various lists by people who know more about this than I do.

I’ve created 3X3 public cards for each subsection. I grouped the written word together, movie-tv-cartoons and music paired with art. If I’m honest there’s less art because I could only find a few. Also I made a 5X5 public card that was a mixed bag of it all. And if you’re like me, and you want to create your own card, you can head here to the bingo card generator and you can put your works here on our AO3 collection if you so wish.

( Books, Plays, & Poetry and the 3x3 card )

( Movies, TV shows & cartoons and 3x3 card )

( Musical composition, sound recordings & art and 3x3 card )
