Introducing
seasons_of_fandom, an interactive fandom challenge community/landcomm that allows you to create work for any fandom you can think of! We were previously lands_of_magic, a name we ran under for over 10 years, but we figured we needed a facelift and a name change since it has been a long time since we had only focused on fantasy fandoms. We welcome TV, movies, books, games, music, anime, celebrities... almost anything goes! We have all kinds of challenges- writing, graphics, games, and some challenges that are miscellaneous fanworks! This round we'll also be trying out monthly drabble and icon contests.We have four wonderful teams- The Spring Court, The Summer Court, The Autumn Court, and The Winter Court.
Sign-ups for new members start today, and though our first round under our new name doesn't start until August, we will have two challenges open before the round officially starts. To sign up, all you have to do is read the rules and fill out the survey here.
We look forward to seeing you there!

I got an email from the art dude announcing that he's temporarily opening registration to his courses.
(Still full price, just you usually can't sign up, just get on the waiting list. Which I had not explicitly done.)
I unsubscribed. Grumpily.
I can understand his logic -- entering a contest to get X indicates interest in X -- but this wasn't opt-in, and it should have been '

progress
May. 31st, 2025 11:00 pmkareilaI've unpacked maybe (optimistically) about a third of the books, and I've used up well over half of the available shelf space. But there's still an open wall for more shelving once we see what's left after the kids reclaim whatever they want to keep in their rooms. (Alternatively, I could force myself to downsize even more.)
Connor and I took a break and went to the board game cafe today for their one-year anniversary celebration. We played Wyrmspan, which is a reboot of Wingspan featuring dragons instead of birds, and enjoyed it quite a bit - although it's been so long since I tried out Wingspan that I'm not really sure what all was different apart from appearances.
Robby and I are actually caught up on the Murderbot TV series, or were until yesterday. It helps that it's only half an hour per episode. I find that I don't mind the character changes too much, but I do wish they had figured out a better way to show what SecUnit was sensing through the security feeds instead of just having the narration describe it.
